DRAWING MACRO

DRAWING MACRO

DRAWING MACRO

(OP)
Just need a little jump start on this macro if anyone could help.
I need to create a new drawing using a specific template from a random part that I have open at the time. I would like to have 3 std. views and an iso. Also I would like to insert the volume of the part as a note in the drawing. I'm somewhat new to Solidworks API, but have worked with other VB code before.

RE: DRAWING MACRO

Hello,

I am not sure you need a macro for this...

1) You may want to create a drawing template with predefined views (this will get you the 3 views and Iso view)

2) You can create note in the drawing template for the volume that is linked to a volume custom property in the model (this is a parametric note)

cheers,

Joseph
