I'm trying to write a way to dump the bills from drawings through a program. I have a method that works for standard bills of material... cut-lists are another issue. Solidworks API help gives an example of how to get the custom properties for a cut-list but does not provide any help on...
Not that I am aware of. SolidWorks macros work within the confines of the SolidWorks API. 3rd party addins are not a part of this as they really just macros in a compiled format. If you are aware of what the code is doing and how its done in the 3rd party addin you can create a macro to do...
Kellnerp,
I currently maintain an add-in that when you click "New Document" and select a part or assembly a prompt comes up with similar questions. The company I work for long ago chose to have a hybrid smart/dumb part number system. So a selectable prefix is chosen and the add-in will fill...
Even a small number can be automated if done correctly. A database and macro can be set up to pull the next number in line and apply it while recording and tracking previously used numbers. I do this similarly in a SQL database and a small application I wrote now.
Yeah it will retain the sheet metal feature. I just can't create that from scratch.
I know the guys I work with, they'd whine about having to edit it too. And for some of the Acad guys it'd be easier without making them edit something at all.
With my hope people would still have to select their gauge of material, just not select the table itself or have to check the box to use a gauge table... just have solidworks know that it needs to use this table. That's something that is simple even for the programmers, a defaulted check box...
I am using Solidworks 2010 SP4. When I delete the base flange, the sheet metal features go with it. The only way to get the sheet metal feature to stay is to suppress the base flange. That is not an acceptable option. I have also had some friends at another company try this out too, and in...
I of course have my gauge table set up for solidworks, it just is not defaulting to using it. That's really all I want to see. For now when we start a sheet metal part thats a couple extra clicks. I thought SW would have made a way to set a default to save a little time. They are all about...
Co-Worker brought this up... why must we always select our bend table before we can proceed? Anyone know of any option I am missing to make the bend table always select one? We only have 1 table and it would save us alot of time to have the bend table default on, and default to our table.
Sorry, it's 20" of H20, or rather a water/oil mixture that is something close to 80/20.
So the 20" needs to be above where the water would be at atmophere correct? Does it matter how much is stored in the bottom of the U portion assuming that there is another 22" to go vertically?
I am working on a project right now involving a mist collector and a p trap. The blower on the mist collector is pulling 20" vacuum. The problem lies in this p trap setup. My co-workers and I cannot come to a consensus as to what the proper proportions should be to prevent the drain from...
Do you have an up to date method of creating an addin from a macro in vb 2008 express? I've tried to follow your old one, but VB6 is just not the same.
If the machine in question is a laptop it is likely best to stick to Dell's software and choice of a 32-bit system. I have 64-bit machines at home and have ranged them from laptops to desktops. Laptop hardware can often be specialized in subtle ways that leave you high and dry. My first...
I am writing a macro to take account for stock pipe sizes. I have successfully written a macro that will cycle through configurations, pull the annotated dimension and assign properties and fill in data accordingly. The problem arose when it finally came time to test on a routed pipe file. I...
