Done with pdf moving on to dxf

Hi All,

With your help Ive succeeded and more importantly I understood how to
make a macro that save's a drawing sheet as pdf.

Now I'm moving on to a dxf.

The only thing that matters to me is that the scale is 1:1

I tried that:

if swapp.DxfOutputScaleFactor<>1 then
swapp.DxfOutputScaleFactor=1

but got an "Object does not support this property or method" error

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Ron.

 

Ron,

DxfOutputScaleFactor is not an API object or method. You can
retrieve its value using the GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue method and
save it using SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue.

Use this:
Dim bResult As Boolean
If swApp.GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swDxfOutputScaleFactor) <> 1
Then
bResult = swApp.SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue
(swDxfOutputScaleFactor, 1)
If bResult = False Then
MsgBox "Failed to set 'swDxfOutputScaleFactor' to 1",
vbCritical
End If
End If

Got it all except the vbcritical...

Thanks.

 

Now I got it - its part of the MsgBOX

Thanks

 

Ron,

This is a pretty good group but for API questions I would use the
SolidWorks-API google group or SolidWorks hosted forums instead. They
are focused on API related info while this one is very generic.

Thanks Mike
