getting the part name by clicking on drawing view 1

[LCform]

I have a drawing in Solidworks , that there are four or five parts views are imported in it, I need to write a macro that when I click on each view, relating to a specific part, I can get the information of that part, that could be : the name of the part, and information that is inserted in the drawing table. I need this to use it for a daily task.
When I tried recording a macro, what I got was this

Dim swApp As Object

Dim Part As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long

Sub main()

Set swApp = _
Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
boolstatus = Part.ActivateView("View of design 8")
boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID2("", "FACE", 0.149152636311266, 0.13636438206487, 374.999635197609, False, 0, Nothing, 0)
Part.ClearSelection2 True
End Sub

unfortunately it has a password and not possible to modify or check what is wrong

Sorry to hear that. Do you have any specific errors or it just does nothing? Can you record a short video of how you use the macro? Do you have a text file with properties and the properties do exist in the model?

ctrl+q is a shortcut for a force rebuild so it is better to use some other shortcut.

Thanks,
Artem

Hello Artem

thank you so much

Video I think I can not record, but as far as creating the Macro button I think I have done right. But yes when I open the assembly file, Nothing happens, I mean when I highlight the part and press the macro button.
