EXECUTING CODE DURING PACK AND GO

[PAT44]

Hi,
I would like to know if it s possible to execute a code on each files within pack and go. For exemple, if I pack and go an assembly, automaticaly when I ll press the save button, each files will have their properties deleted before they get saved.

Any ideas? Could be by using task manager or something...

You would need an API program written to do this.

Out of curiosity, why would you want the properties deleted?

Actualy, I wish the Author name to be deleted when a pack and go is made. I already have a macro that add this information when a new part or drawing is created but when a pack and go is made, I need this information to be deleted for the macro can proceed with the right information.

I know it sound complicated but if you can explain me how to do if I wish a macro to delete that author name each time I perform a pack and go. How to built that macro and how to do to autoexecute it on each pack and go.

Thanks for your time!

Here is one pack and go macro which you may edit:

Thanks but I m using 2010 version of solidworks and I think api pack and go fonction only comes with the 2012 version..
If not, I m not able to make it run.

I'm not into API stuff, but I believe (at least some) API calls have been available for P&G since it's introduction in SW07.

Well in that case, you can have your macro modified that will open the files after P & G and then delete all the custom info.
