Help! API: Trying toforce SW to Run Minimized

    Hi,

    I have created several .exe's that open Sw parts, insert a design a table
    save and close. The exe inserts the Dt's into all pertinent parts and assys
    and at the end of it all I get various configuration with various options
    which I entered at the beginning of the process. On some service pack for
    2004 I lost the ability to minimize SW while the exe was running and hence
    the ability to do something else while the model was being generated. Some
    models take 10-15 minutes to build so its a substantial nuisance.

    I am wondering is there is any sort of method or command I can put into my
    ..exe that will tell the SW application to run minimized?

    Any help is truly appreciated.

    Search for Solidworks Visible or Background in API help.

    In passing I will note that the serving of .zip files on the
    subscription service seems to be down this weekend.
