Just a FYI for people "into" macros, API calls etc ...

SW Help Files said:
The swxJRNL.swj file is a text file that records the actions you make in the current SolidWorks session. This file is often helpful when you create macros.
Not having been involved much with creating macros, I had not "discovered" this till now, and thought it might be of help to "newbies" and a reminder to the "oldies"

I wondered what that file was!
 
While it is true you can use the journal file, it is often packed with calls you do not need and it can be hard to decipher what you need from it. My suggestion is just to record what you want to do.
