Macros

[ctopher]

We are new to SolidWorks and are still running 2001, but will be up on 2003 next month. Does anyone know if there is a web sight to go to for a list of users macros or does anyone have a special macro that may be useful for mechanical design/drafting? thank you

If you are a current with you service subscription, there are macros available on the SW website.

Also if you have specific things you wish to achieve with a macro, you can try asking here. There are a few great people that use this forum that have no problem sharing thier macros, or helping you develope your own.

This is Matt Lombards site, and he has a few macros to share.

I had a few more, but lost the URLs during a recent computer rebuild. "The attempt and not the deed confounds us."

Many helpful macros are available. By definition, these are shortcuts for repetitive tasks. Any thing you do over and over is a prospect for a macro. You get to build your own.
Frinstance, I have a macro to center the view on my drawing titleblock. I define a view in my dwgdot file "Titleblock" and then zoom to it with a macro button.
