SW 2005 API Crash problem

Hi there,

I have created a simple VBA macro and Delphi API program that batch saves a
number of Sldprt files (from a chosen directory) to eDrawings (to a chosen
directory).

I am having crash/hang problems - I was wondering if anyone else has any
problems using the SW API to batch process a large number of files? The
crashes are not consistent with time or number of parts -so I am thinking it
could be a memory issue.

Even just a simple 'open part' and 'close part' for a large number or parts
(say 600) does not work.

I have tried the Macro on many different PC's - does anyone have a macro
that does a batch operation that works? so I can test.

Thank you

What's the point of solidworks task scheduler then?
Can this close and open solidworks between each conversion?

Just an observation, no criticism intended

 

I have actually not had too much trouble with memory leaks, although I
typically use VB and VB.NET. The two batch programs have never had any
trouble. One of them typically runs for eight hours at a clip. Make sure
you give your variables and objects as local a scope as possible. That way,
you can release the resources easily.
