What VBA script is most useful for your work

[Azzazil]

As title said can you describe what is most useful VBA script for you that you can't work without? I am mostly using it for BoM export and modification of part properties.

My number one is the "Switch dwg. link" macro. Many times the Edit-Links replace linked body gets me the usual "refuesd the document" error. We have a macro that switches the linked body, updates all the unlocked views and makes a new dwg. Good for carryover work.
Number two is the workbench switcher that's hotkeyed to my CadMouse button. One click between surface and part design.
Number three is the view switcher, made by rickyt, see here: thread560-498632

Some of the most used Macros my department uses are:

1. My Custom Bounding Box Tool
2. A Custom tool I built that Overlays two different versions of the same model for revision reviewing
3. A Simple tool that gives you the option to hides features like Points, Planes, GD&T, Sketches, and Axis
4. Unhide all solid geometry in a Model
5. Material Applied Search
6. Replace Part Number
7. Rename From File Name
8. Save Files as In Session Part Number
9. Rename Instances
10. Custom Reorder Catia Tree Tool

Did you try to search in CATIA_Portable_Script_Center_v2.0.chm file?

There are simple ones that are available on this forum and in the Portable Script Center, but I have built a pretty advanced one that articulates the part and can work on a surface, single body part, or multi body part.
