Is there a way to batch reload sheet formats?

Greg Welch Oct 19, 2015 11:26 AM

I have found a small error in my sheet formats that I'd like to correct in my drawings without having to open up every drawing and update them individually. Is there a batch routine in SolidWorks Tools, or a macro out there somewhere?

You should be able to use Task Scheduler and have it open each drawing.

  I tried the update files routine. Updating doesn't reload the sheet format. As far as I can tell, the update routine is equivalent to opening each drawing and entering CTRL Q. As for running a custom task, I don't have the training to create or debug one.

Search the forum for "Reload Sheet/s" Macro, I think there are a few and some work better than others. If you can't find anything contact Deepak Gupta here on the forum, I'm sure he has what you would need....
