New Menu
New Menu
(OP)
Does anyone know how to create a new menu in SolidWorks? I have created about 10 macros and they are getting a little cluttered on my screen. I know this is a probably a bit involved, but it's worth a shot! I tried going through Customize.. but had no such luck. Thanks in advance for any insight.

As far as I can tell, there is no way outside of this to create new menus in SW.
You could, perhaps, persuade someone to write a DLL that just adds the menu, which would allow you to add submenu items using "Tools --> Customize". Check my profile info to contact someone who may be persuaded.

If you decide to do this via macro and not via compiled DLL, check out this thread:

The first reply shows how macros can be run at SW startup by modifying the shortcut used to start SW. This would almost behave ike an add-in.

Create a folder named \Macros in your SolidWorks installation directory (in the same folder as SOLIDWORKS.exe). This \Macros folder is where you must keep the all the macros that you access from a key or a menu.
Then Macros should be available under the menu categories.
