Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Record macro to delete the table on one drawing and then you can run that on all drawings in a folder with #TASK

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
I recorded a macro deleting the table, but when I run it on other drawings it says this..

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Ok I got this one to work that I recorded, But when running in #TASK, how can I tell this macro to only look at .slddrw's? I have some other macros that work on .sldprts, so when it tries to do this one on the part files, I get an error?

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Well, I wanted to run it in conjunction with tasks for drawing only & tasks for parts and drawings, so I thought there could be a way to tell the "Delete Table" task to only look at drawings, but that's ok, I can just run the task separately. But I have another question if you don't mind. So I recorded a macro deleting the revision table, only problem is, the recording picked it up as "DELETE GENERALTABLE1" so If I have another table in that drawing that was inserted before the revision table, therefore earning the "GENERALTABLE1" name first, it deletes that one, and leaves my revision table. Can this be fixed any kind of way?

This can be done by putting an IF condition for document type in the macro. So you can set the filter for part and drawing and based on document type, it can delete the table.

Yes it can be set to pick the revision table in drawing.

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Unfortunately the revision table was inserted as a general table file type, not a revision table file type. Which means the only thing distinguishing the other tables from my revision table is the number behind "General Table"

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Is there a way to set up a macro to look at what the table's file name is for deletion?

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Hi Eddie
Try to delete the table by using the task from #TASK library by specifying the text, which it should contain.
Strongly recommend to backup you drawings before running this task; For instance, If entered value "A" in "Find What" then most of the tables would be deleted as most of the tables could contain this letter.

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Victor, this may be a silly question, but I noticed the the #TASK program was updated, and I don't' remember seeing the "Remove Table" macro before the update. Did my problem help facilitate the update in anyway?

Re: Macro to delete specific table from drawings.
Hi Eddie
The updates of the application are not really connected to library #Task. The information about all items in library is downloaded each time when you press the "Library" button. It means that you will be able to see all new library items as soon as they are added to #Task database.

Viktor
