Independent API Programmers

[SBaugh]

I am curious if there are any other Solidworks API programmers other than CAD Sharp that would consider writing us a small app or macro?

I stopped doing it when all my "customers" wanted to pay next-to-nothing and complained that "it's just a few lines of code, anyone can do it".

Well, now I'm not doing it. Go get "anyone".

These guys have a lot of free macros and can write new ones for you.

So far I have not found the need for macros. If I ever come across a useful one, I'll try it.

I have found several I like and use occasionally, but in this situation, I have to get one made because of the state the files are in on the server. None of them are suitable to make it into the Vault. So I need a quick way to process over 2000+ parts\assemblies and drawings before they are ready. Consisting of renaming (while maintaining links), changing Drafting standard, adding custom Properties, and few other random things that need to be updated. The best way to that is with a macro.

You should be able to do most of that with SolidWorks Explorer and the below macro.

Thx SSCON - that is a cool-looking macro, but it doesn't seem to work in 2021. I just followed it and it gives a #VALUE! error.

I think we found someone to make the macro @ very reasonable price.
