Solidworks macro question
I wrote a sample macro that accesses the model referenced by a drawing and its custom properties. If you want to take a look at it, it might be helpful in seeing how to get access to the model, etc. It's on my webpage, www.customsolids.com, go to the bottom of the main page where it says...- CSolids
