Solidworks screen size

[smcadman]

I had found a macro to set the Solidworks screen size (the part/assembly side) to a size you want so that you can save the jpg file at the desired size, but I can't find it anymore. The reason for this is that I am using a macro on Lenny's site called RotateViewPro and I wanted to make an animated gif out of the images.

If you don't know the screen size macro I am talking about, do you know of another way to set it?

Option Explicit

You mean something along the lines of:

Dim swApp As Object
Dim modelDoc As Object
Dim modelView As Object

Sub main()

    Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
    Set modelDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc
    Set modelView = modelDoc.activeView

        modelView.Scale2 = 1.43
        modelDoc.graphicsRedraw2

End Sub

Thanks Meintsi, but that wan't what I wanted (I should have said window-size instead of screen-size). If you hit the Windows "restore down" button on the top-right corner of an open file, you can drag the sides of the window smaller. For example, I can drag the window to be 2" x 2".
The macro I had previously found did just that, but there are several Solidworks sites with macros, and I haven't been able to find it again.

I finally found the macro I was looking for at NHCAD, called SW_SIZE.SWB at:

One note: the file window can't be maximized for it to work, it has to be smaller than maximized. After using "RotateViewPro", I used Irfanview to batch-convert the jpg's to a "gif" file.
Finally, I downloaded Microsoft GIF Animator at:
