Hello,
is there a way to edit existing part curve driven pattern and change (modify) only spacing between patterned feature, then rebuild whole part model in VBA macro? Ideally I do not want to re-create whole curve driven pattern feature as I will lose selected face in order to make feature...
Thanks for much simpler solution, however I still don't get it why it cannot create sheet metal out of thickened surface (uniform thickness, formable,radius very large, so I don't see any obstacle)? In general then do you know what kind of surfaces can be converted to sheet metal? Thanks a lot...
Hello,
is it possible to create sheet metal out of helix based surface (thickened or non-thickened)? I did try to create pure sheet metal (as part in the attachment, but when it is flattened, only curved part is shown and straight disappears). Now I am trying to get the part made in surface and...
Figured it out. I did not realize that your face was on inside end of curve (not outside, which I constantly tried to select). Now everything works without issue. Big thanks again. Cheers,
Thanks. For some reason, I can see your solution and all works without issue. However, when I try to re-create very same thing on very same file with exactly same settings, it does not allow me to select face on "Face Normal". Regardless, thanks. I guess I need to create new file and try it...
Hello again,
please find in the attachment the SW file. My goal is, by using 3d curve running through the center of hole, to create curve pattern of the hole across helix modeled sheet metal. It does show in preview holes, but when I press ok it gives me an error like I need to click on edge...
Hello,

Hello,

Hi,
I am trying to automatically create drawing document with number of sheets that match number of bodies in multibody part that is active and opened prior to running the macro. Each sheet would contain relative view of one body. What does happen when running macro as shown below, I do get...
Sorry, I did not reply earlier as I completely forgot I did post question on a forum. In short, I did resolve the issue same day using "Kill Taskbar" command to close any excel activity after passing all data from excel to variables inside the macro before reshuffling everything and assigning...
Hi,
I am creating macro where I first open excel file, then I am supposed by VBA from SW macro access already opened excel file. Just to mention, below code works, however vba opens about 10 copies of same excel file while it is working and I think the reason for it is For loop in the beginning...
Hi,
at the moment I am stuck with very weird issue (unless I don't get this at all) in regards to passing dimension out of sketch:
Dim swPart as IPartDoc
Dim featureOfPart as IFeature = Nothing
Dim sketchWidth As IDimension = Nothing
Dim dblSketchWidth as Double = Nothing
swPart =...
