Solidworks built-in icons
Solidworks built-in icons
(OP)
Does anyone know where (what dll or exe) the built-in icons of Solidworks are saved? I have made an add-in and I'd like to use some of the built-in icons like "Change Transparency" in my add-in.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.






RE: Solidworks built-in icons
The SOLIDWORKS software provides bitmap images to use as custom buttons. These are located in install_dir/data/user macro icons.

Just a friendly notice that you do not have to respond IF you do not understand the question. I am looking for the location of the BUILT-IN icons used in Solidworks toolbar/menu and not how to change macro icon!!

This was the first that I tried before posting in the forum. It is not there! transparent.png is different and is for edrawing and not Solidworks!
Here is what I am looking for (highlighted with arrow - as an example):
I also looked into lots of dll and exe files in SolidWorks Corp path, but with NO luck!
Any suggestion?

I am not convinced how one can crack a dll with only extracting an icon from it though.
RE: Solidworks built-in icons
Not the best way, I guess, but I have used this method multiple times to create my own versions of buttons through macros and "reassign" a specific icon.
