Sorry if this has already been dealt with on this forum, the search function doesn't seem very helpful.

I currently do this within the macro debugger but would like to do it by just running a macro (fine for me, but not for others).

With the assembly open, I want the macro to stop (stop statement in debug mode works fine) after activating each part or sub-assembly and opening its associated drawing file, if it exists. Then I want to be able to edit the drawing or part and/or create a drawing, save all the changes, and have the macro continue to the next part.

This is very useful to check the drawings before printing them out and to make sure parts that need drawings have them.

Thanks

John

Check out thread559-212913. It might work for what you are doing, as long as your edits/saves etc. aren't too intensive.
