Running Macro at Startup

[Creigbm]

I know there is a way to do this, and at one point I think I knew how. In any case, how do you make a macro run everytime you start SW?

 

[EvanBasalik]

[SolidWorks Installation]\SldWorks.exe /M c:\Macro.swp

Will this technique work with a batch file that I would like to run everytime SolidWorks gets launched? Example

[SW Install]\SldWorks.exe \\network_server\custom.bat

Sorta - if I understand what you are trying to do, I think this approach would work...

Create a batch file called SolidWorks.bat with the following lines:

\\network_server\custom.bat
[SW Install]\SldWorks.exe

Then, when you run the SolidWorks.bat file, it will run your batch file, then launch SW.

The other approach would be to use a startup macro and the shell command. The only problem with that is that the command inside the shell statement won't get run until after SW is running. Depending on what you are trying to do, that may be either good or bad.
