    What happened to this stuff? all I see in user library on 3D content
    central is parts assemblies, there were some really usefull macros and
    other stuff in the library. Does anyone know where to access this stuff
    now?

    Thx

    I have some of mine here. Not the whole big thing you were looking
    for, but you might find something interesting. The site needs some
    help, but I don't have time to do it. So they are listed, but no
    explanation. Sorry.

    Thanks WT,

    to be more specific what I am looking for is a macro that would
    traverse a directory open each part and assembly file orient the model
    in an isometric view, fit to screen save and close the file.

    I work in a multi user environment and the previews of many parts in
    the "file open" and thumbnail views are zoomed way out, zoomed way in
    or in such a position that it is impossible to see what the part looks
    like.

    Anyone got a macro that would do this? I could probably create one but
    it would mean dusting off my VB book and writing code that someone has
    probably already written way better than I could.

    TIA

    Not just that specifically. But in the macro AccessLogOfConfig, it has
    some of that. Here is the header:

    "This macro gets the config name, path & file name, and the ASI part
    number of the current document and inputs the values into the Access
    table on the server. It also copies the ASI part number to the
    clipboard to be used later. I added the option to zoom to fit in the
    isometric view, save the file, close it, run Unfrag, and then the
    option to make it Read-only."

    Oh, the ASI part number is our internal number. The whole purpose of
    this macro was to automate the gathering of the information and stuff
    it into an Access table so that when going through our Cutlist program,
    it checks to see if we already have a SW model of it. So, you could
    start with the relevant section and add a bit to it.

  5. Hello wry&dry-

    "to be more specific what I am looking for is a macro that would

    This can be accomplished using the SolidWorks Task Scheduler. See the Help
    file, Custom Task.
