    Type mismatch when creating function (API)

    Found the problem. "app as Application.SldWorks" needs to be "app as SldWorks.SldWorks.", then the type mismatch error goes away. I'll correct the other error you pointed out as well. Thanks.

    Type mismatch when creating function (API)

    Thanks for your input, guys. I tried both suggestions but same error still. I'll keep playing around with it...

    Type mismatch when creating function (API)

    Thanks for the response. To answer your question: The first line of the function is the problem (Function IsPartOpen). Yes, there is a part open. The function tests whether a part is open.

    Type mismatch when creating function (API)

    I am confused as to why I am getting a type mismatch here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. ------- Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Sub main() Set swApp = Application.SldWorks Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc MsgBox IsPartOpen(swApp)...

    Change unit

    You would need to change the units of the document, which would then change the custom property units. If the custom property type is Number then you are stuck with 6 decimal places. That is a known bug. If you use Text, however, then you can change the decimal places. To do all of this...

    smart component help.

    Have you taken the Assembly Modeling class offered by your VAR? Smart components are covered. Otherwise Smart Components are covered in the Tutorials. Go to Help-->Tutorials, and then look under All SoidWorks Tutorials (Set 2). What you have described doesn't sound complicated at all so I'm sure...

    API - cycling through drawing sheets and changing name

    The problem ending up being that given the above macro, multiple sheets with the same name would have existed. I changed it to first change all of the sheet names to something odd and then go back through make them Sheet1, Sheet2, ... etc

    No luck unfortunately.

    API - cycling through drawing sheets and changing name

    By the way, the Rebuild line wasn't really necessary, I was just throwing it to see if it would help and it didn't.

    API - cycling through drawing sheets and changing name

    I am at a loss to explain why the following does not work. GetCurrentSheet is not getting the sheet even though that sheet is active. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Dim swDraw As SldWorks.DrawingDoc Dim swSheet As SldWorks.Sheet...

    Lock Dimension Position on Drawings in SW2010 SP3.0

    I have run into this before; in my research I could not find a way to accomplish this. Maybe someone else has a trick or roundabout way but unfortunately there is nothing as simple as an anchor button the dimension property manager.

    Marking selected objects (API)

    Actually, if you don't mind I have a followup question: what is the purpose of the CreateSelectData method and the ISelectData interface? I see it used in conjunction with marking a lot but looking over the examples I can't tell why it's used exactly. Thanks.

    Marking selected objects (API)

    That explains the difficulty. Thanks.

    Marking selected objects (API)

    Here is what I'd like to do: run through every face in the visible bodies. If a face is blue (B = 1) then mark it. Once all faces have been traversed, select all marked faces.

    Why aren't these mate references recognized in the assy?

    Hi, The mate references in "screw.sldprt" are set up in a fairly sensible fashion, and yet when I drag them onto a hole in the assembly they are not recognized. Sometimes I can switch the order and get the face to recognize a coincident mate, but I'm trying to get the "drop in hole" mate icon...
