Hi
I am trying to make file management macro with VBA. This macro adds version and document numbers according to document type. My macro also adds assembly files to same folder automatically. I mean when you add new part to assembly it moves copy of that part to same folder. So my problem is that i need to somehow recognize file type that is currently active. Is there any possible way to do this with event triggers? I just want to know can this be done without user input.
When you register events in your macro, you will be specifying a callback function. This is where you would evaluate the type. However, judging from how you've described its desired behavior, I'm suspecting that you want to do this with a macro when you would probably be better served with an add-in.

You could write a macro that would just "wait" using a DoEvents loop and register triggers to it - but it would be clunky. You would also have to remember to run it at the start of each Solidworks session. Meanwhile, an add-in can be toggled by the user and even be configured to launch automatically on startup.
