Lenny's File macro (DSOfile version)

[J-C]

I'm an API noob at worst but was trying to run Lenny's InforFileBuild(DSO) version.

http://www.lennyworks.com/solidworks/SWXMacros/InfoFileBuild(DSO).zip

I think the problem is the Dsofile.dll which this macro relies upon to read the file properties. The Dsofile makes this faster I've read. Problem is the Dsofile version has changed and thus the code to run it has changed. Lenny's version was coded for Dsofile v1.2 while v2.0 is current.

Does anyone have a fixed version of this macro by chance?

You might just need to change the reference to the DSOfile.dll. Do this under "Tools --> References" in your macro editor. Deselect the old DSOfile and select the one you have installed.

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

The simplest thing to do would probably be just to install the 1.2 version. I've uploaded it here. Just put it somewhere other than where version 2 is, go to the command prompt, and type:

regsvr32 "[the directory path]\dsofile.dll"

I'm not sure how long I've had both of them on my machine, but I have no problems out of either.

Version 1.2 did the trick.....a lot easier than for a rookie VB programmer like myself to try and recode it to work.
