Visual Basic/SolidWorks running a SW macro from VB

[jh0401]

I would like to run a SolidWorks macro from VB. Does anyone have an example? The drawing I want to modify is already running and the macro is saved in app.path. When
I try to implement the macro within VB it does not work. I just need a way to call it from VB.

Thanks,
Josh

Nevermind? Did you find a way to implement this? Or are you just trying it a different way?

At first I was unable to run the code from my visual basic program, but I made some modifications so it would run
in the program and not just in the SolidWorks API environment.

Thanks

But if anyone could give a sample on running a SW macro from VB I would still appreciate it.

Thanks

' I put this code in: "C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\Macros\" and call it: "TitleBlock.swb" Then I set a macro key to Ctrl F12. The VB program called "Titleblock.exe" will run.

' Start the application and activate it
