add QR code to drawing?

The QR Code is basically another form of a hyperlink.  So long as the file location you want to reference is accessible that way you should be able to use a QR generator.  I just tried it, but had to make a shortcut of a file and then grab the target of the shortcut to get the whole file address.  It did generate a valid code (using QR Code Generator - Create QR codes here ).  The target would have all the information necessary so if you just changed the filename for other files in the same directory it would be easy enough to generate the correct path to feed into the code generator.

So, it seems like in addition to the filename showing on the drawing you want to provide a hotlink to it.  That's interesting.  The most I've seen is a full path and filename shown on a drawing.  By the same token, you could provide a QR code for the eDrawing associated with the drawing as well.  Very interesting indeed.

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for the suggestion, but my boss prefers not to depend upon an external service for this, as he wants to implement this in the long run. However, if you know of some open source code in VBA or VB.NET or C# that I can use to code a macro that would be great.

Barcodes would work too.

Thanks

Can I just open up the macro editor in SolidWorks and edit this? Also, in case this can be done ONLY using Visual Studio, is there a way to link an existing solidworks macro with this piece of code?
