Macro to put parts onto unique layers.

[CMcF]

I have written a macro to put all the geometry from a layer into a part. This allows me to export my SWX BOMs into my current database. The schlepp is that I have to put all my swx parts on to their own layer manually. Does anyone know how to do it automatically?

Durr, more information please. I didn't really follow what you're trying to do.

I believe CMcF wants an automated way to put each part in an assembly on a separate layer in the drawing file.

KenBolen,
Thanks, that is exactly what I meant. I only mentioned the ME10 macro, on the off chance that it could be useful to someone else.

check out the ChangeComponentLayer API call.

There is also some sample code on the SW website.
