Way of preventing rebuild in a macro to speed it up?

Hello,

Is there a way of preventing a macro from rebuilding after closing
each sketch or making a feature in order to speed things up? After I
have a couple hundred sketches the rebuilds take forever... I already
have these set:

Part.SetAddToDB (True)
Part.SetDisplayWhenAdded (False)

Any other speed tips would help!

Thanks,
Mike

 

You can interupt the rebuild

The below code has to be in a Class module.

Public WithEvents ThisPart As SldWorks.PartDoc

Private Function ThisPart_RegenNotify() As Long
ThisPart_RegenNotify = 1
End Function

if you don't pass a value to it it will rebuild as normal. If you don't
turn it off you can't rebuild. And remember that if you want to reference
any of the geometry created by the macro you have to rebuild it or it will
not be officially concidered geometry.

Well, seeing as you are using the API... when/if you are modifying
dimensions
in sketches, do it from OUTSIDE the sketch. It wont rebuild; blast all
your dims and then call your own rebuild.
