Viewing swp files without opening SolidWorks

    Greetings,

    Is there any way of opening a SolidWorks macro file (*.swp) without
    starting SolidWorks?

    For whatever reason, the swp files are binary encoded. It's odd as VB
    files are text and can be viewed with a text editor.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I might be wrong, but it seems that SW somehow embeds the referenced type
    libraries etc. within the swp file. Try checking/unchecking referenced files
    from Tools -> References, and see how the file size changes. This might be
    an explanation for the apparent binary format.

    If you export to .bas they are not in binary.
