I am novice to Solidworks and from Software background. I have a Solidworks 2D 2011 model drawing which has revision history table. My task is to write VBA code to insert row on the table. But the problem here is that the table got exploded and I have no reference point to add a row on this table.
How to write VBA code to achieve the above task?
Is there any way that can be done on 2D editor to automate?
Thanks,
Puneeth
There is no AddRevision API in SW2011.
Example: There is a revision Table which has columns as Revision, Description, Date, Approver. If new revision is updated then a new row has to be created.
Exploded means the revision history table in the drawing is not available as Block content(SW_TABLEANNOTATION_0) instead all the coulmns and rows are exploded into individual object entities. In this case I am no where finding the option to insert a row below.
Did you tried recording a macro and see what codes you get?
What macro to record, there is not support for adding a row?
Do you mean to say draw lines, so as form table and record but that's not serve my purpose.
What macro to record
Use this tool Tools > Macro > Record and then add a new row manually by right clicking on table and select Add revision/row. And then stop recording. Save the recorded macro and see if you get any pointer in those codes.
"there is not support for adding a row?
Not sure what does that mean?

Not sure where you've looked but AddRevision is there since 2004 version
2011 SOLIDWORKS API Help - AddRevision Method (IRevisionTableAnnotation)
In solidworks 2d editor there is no option to add row even if you right click no option. If It is so simple I would have done it.
Well you've not mentioned the question clearly. Wish you had mentioned DWG/DXF or even attached a file then it would have been really helpful to understand that you are taking about DWG editor or DraftSight but not SOLIDWORKS.
Sorry I can not help with this one.
My Bad, I would agree that. But I am unaware of this draftsight/dwg editor , I did know this is something related drawing. May I know whom to approach?
Contact your VAR from who your company has bought the software.
Check AddRevision in SOLIDWORKS API help if that helps else share some example and then some can suggest as how to read those tables and add row.
Also not sure what you mean by exploded?
