Is there an API command for "Invert Selection" command?

[rgrayclamps]

Hi,

It seems that "Sendkeys" command is no longer supported with 64 bit Windows system (Vista and Win7). I found many users are having the same issue with "Sendkeys" as I am.

Now back to my question, how do you use "Invert Selection" in macro? Is there an API command in Solidworks for "Invert Selection"? Recording a macro does not reveal "Invert Selection".

Before I upgraded to SW2010, I achieved this by using "Sendkeys" command with "I" (a shortcut for invert selection), which does no long work.

Best regards,

Alex

Check out RunCommand in the API help. Many of the UI actions can be automated using RunCommand. That's usually one of the first places I look for a one-click type interface command. Invert Selection is in the list (swCommands_InvertSelection)

Hi, Handleman:

Thanks for your advice!

To run swCommands_*, I need "SolidWorks 2010 Commands Type Library". But I am unable to find this reference with my SW2010 installed Win7 64.

Do you know if SW2010 has a commands type library?

Best regards,

Alex

Hi,

Never mind. I found the reference

"SolidWorks 2010 Commands type library", and it is in "C:\Program Files\SolidWorks 2010\SolidWorks\swcommands.tlb"

Best regards,
