Hi Jeff,
I just began studying your work, very nice. If you could help a newbie… in this macro, my machine reports a compile error, sub or function not defined on the “Call writeVersion” line. Is there something I don’t have turned on or installed? I’m still using SW2007x64 sp5.0. Thanks.

Hi Marco,

The only way I know of to do what you want is to turn this Macro into a SolidWorks Add-in.

Hi Anne,

I am really sorry for the slow response. The problem is that you are using a DIm statement outside of a function or procedure. Inside of procedure you declare a variable using the Dim statement but outside of a procedure you use either the Public or Private statements depending on what access you want to the variable.

Try this:

Option Explicit

Private SwApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

Let me know if that helps. If not, then make sure that you have a reference to the SldWorks Type Library under Tools, References.

May the force be with you,
Jeff

I had this macro code and I am not sure why it can’t work..

———————————————————–
Option Explicit

Dim SwApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim Part As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim SelMgr As SldWorks.SelectionMgr
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
———————————————————–

It says that User-defined type not defined and the SwApp As SldWorks.SldWorks is highlighted. I am unsure why too. Can you help?

I am using SW 2008 with VB6
