drawing macro- help

drawing macro- help

drawing macro- help

(OP)
I have a fantastic macro from angelsix (attached), which creates a drawing for every configuration of a model based on a master drawing. I'm wanting to add/change code so I can specify which configuration(s) I would like to run. Not quite sure how to do that- I'm a beginner to API/macros... I'd really appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Mary

RE: drawing macro- help

Hi marysw,
The world of SolidWorks API coding lies at your feet. My advice is "jump in!" Very probably some nice person will step you through your question, and that's great; but the best way to go is to learn API coding for yourself. It is a bit of work, but once you understand the possiblities of SW automation, you will think up tons of things to do with it. VB is pretty logical, and the SW API help is quite good.
Good luck!
