Not sure if everybody else has already seen this, it's exactly what I've been looking for for months on end. Maybe someone else will find a use for it.

Is there a way to turn off the Drawing portion of the macro, since many of use like to have the drawing named based on the part name.

There's no option to, you would have to edit the macro methinks.

Colin,

My code monkey got it to work here on our 2009 installs, but he had to make some basic changes to the macro to get it to point to the right file location, and something else that I can't remember. When he gets in today I'll ask him.

When I installed it I had to change the file location of the database, as it still pointed to the original authors file.

Also, when pasting the connection string into the database a set of quotation marks were popping up in the middle of the string for some strange reason. Deleted those and things worked fine.

Took me about 20 minutes and I've never used macros before with SolidWorks.

You've never used macros before? Yikes. Welcome to a new world then! Just out my resources site and have fun!
