    I am trying to get a simple macro working in SW 2006. What I need is a
    message box which returns the selected component name. Which command do
    I use to get the name of an assembly component?

    I am trying to get a simple macro working in SW 2006. What I need is a
    Have you tried the most obvious one, Name? :-?

    For example,

    dim modelDoc as SldWorks.ModelDoc2
    Set modelDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc

    Dim component as SldWorks.Component2
    Set component = modelDoc.SelectionManager.GetSelectedObject(1)

    MsgBox component.Name

    Or

    MsgBox component.Name2

    I recommend you to read the API help in SolidWorks Help menu.
