Saving in STEP format using macro

[farzadtb]

Hi all

I want to run a Macro , that when I have a .sldprt open , it saves the file in STEP format in a particular folder, using its own name. at the moment I have this file , but it can be used only for one file name

Sub main()

Set swApp = _
Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
longstatus = Part.SaveAs3("E:......\STEP\13F01020.STEP", 0, 0)
End Sub

Let's ask a better question

since I found the one that does this , but a Macro that could open the file from it's source , and save it in another folder automatically for all the files of that folder

is this possible ?

Any reason why not "save as" to STEP and browse to the folder?
Or, is there another step that you want to do that I don't understand.

There are too many files ! the main reason of using macro

You can use SolidWorks Task Scheduler to export all files in a folder to STEP.
