MacGyverS2000, Why does that confuse you? How can you expect somebody to know something if he/she has not had much to do with it? My field of work has always been very simple math and programing with solidworks which has a very good support forum. I am not offended at all by what you said but i...

We will have received an order for a certain item and then i will need to order tubing for it. We do not stock any tubing so i try to get as close to the correct amount as possible.(A little extra always). So the user will be asked how many assemblies are on order an then it will put together...

Well i just don`t understand all the symbols that wiki used. I am attempting to write it now just with my own ideas of looping and trying different ways to check all the different possibilities, like you said. I am self taught with almost everything, so i am easily lost. I have made many add-ins...

Thats over my head IRstuff. I know nothing about matlab and almost nothing about c++ cant get anything out of that. But i appreciate the response. Ben Guenther Custom Addins and Macros www.lmsoftworks.ca

The reason i am trying to create my own is because i want to create an addin so that i dont have to create the parts manually. Ben Guenther Custom Addins and Macros www.lmsoftworks.ca

Thanks for the past reply. I am not planning as of now to get into 2D nesting because of its complexity and for sure not 3D (Would not have use for 3D anyway.). I have used a program called Cutmaster2D and it works wonderfully, could not ask for more. It is really fast, if you have a long list...

Hi, I want to create a program that will calculate how much raw material I will need to cut a set of parts. For example: Structural Steel Tubing 2 x 1 x .125 x 288 95.75 36 pcs 41.875 89 pcs 10.5 45 pcs 2.875 720 pcs I want to calculate the best layout so that i get the least amount of...

Yes i want to trace machine position and also the path that the machine will be following. Currently I am working with a picturebox and i think i willl be able to get that to work but if anybody has a better idea please share. Ben Guenther Custom Addins and Macros www.lmsoftworks.ca

Hi, I am writing a program in VB.Net that controls a Galil controller which controls 3 motors which will eventually become a small plasma machine. I want to have a form with a graph or drawing space that will draw the position as the motors are moving. Just like you see with all plasma...

I am very much looking forward to Windows 7 with Solidworks 2010. Our company has put Windows 7 on 2 computers here with Solidworks 2010 just for testing and so far it looks great. Ben Guenther www.lmsoftworks.ca

Thanks handleman, I did not fully understand how that worked. I had previously looked in the SW help for opening parts but did not understand it right. That works great.

ok. Let me try and give an example then. varComponents = swAss.GetComponents(False) For i = 0 To swAss.GetComponentCount(False) - 1 Set swComponent = varComponents(i) Set swModelTemp = swComponent.GetModelDoc Next i Now inside that for loop i could loop through the features of...

Yes i did try them. If i use them then the part opens in its own window. The reason I don't want to open the part in its own window is, it is alot slower because it has to load, update then close the part yet.

Partname is the file name and the path I want the handle on. And there are no parts open just the assembly. PartName will only be one of the assembly parts, not parts that are not in the open assembly. So if it worked if would like to say: swModelTemp = PartName

Hi, I am hopeing someone can help me with this. I am looping through an assemblies parts getting some information about each part, which works fine. What i am not able to do is specify which part I want to have the handle on. If the part that I currently have the on is a mirrored part then I...

Ignore my last post. The code that you posted does exactly what I need, thanks alot.

ok lets give this one more try. Forget about lofted bends lets just focus on Base Flange. I want to select the sketch that was used to create the Base Flange. Example: The user makes a sketch and uses the sketch to make a plane. Now the user selects that plane and makes a sketch on it and uses...

I guess that a loft might almost be too complicated then. Maybe I will just put an if statement if it is a loft then it does not work.

How can i make sure that i will always pick the Base Flange sketch ?

But somebody could make a sketch to place a plane on or for reference then that would be sketch 1 and the Base Flange sketch would be number 2.
