Using VB to set SolidWorks layers to visible 1

[jh0401]

Does anyone have a good example for turning SolidWorks layers on and off with Visual Basic?

Thanks

Josh

You should probably post this in the SolidWorks forum. There are plenty of API discussions there. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

I don't have an example, but it should be accessible with the Layer.Visible property. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

Here is a sample that turns off a layer called DIM:

Option Explicit

Sub TurnOffLayer()
    Dim swApp As Object
    Dim Part As Object
    Dim swLayerMgr As Object
    Dim swLayer As Object
    
    Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
    Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
    Set swLayerMgr = Part.GetLayerManager
    Set swLayer = swLayerMgr.GetLayer("DIM")
    swLayer.Visible = False

    Set swLayer = Nothing
    Set swLayerMgr = Nothing
    Set Part = Nothing
    Set swApp = Nothing
End Sub
