I am in the midst of creating a macro to automate all the "clicks" that are done in the process of making a "New Drawing From Part/Assembly"

The macro process:

1) The process begins with a part or assembly that is open in Solidworks.

2) The user decides to make a drawing from that part or assembly by clicking the custom button I created "New Drawing From Part/Assembly".

3) The user picks the drawing template.

4) The automation then takes over to insert the part into the drawing, saves the drawing as current file name and file path (of the part/assembly), adds to vault, 'ok' of file data card.

5) Finnish's by showing the drawing as the active doc to now be edited.

The result is there would be only 2 clicks from the user, thus providing a drawing ready to be edited. I can actually get it down to 1 click by simply making a macro for the 5 sheet sizes we use. However, I am focused on just 2 clicks now.

The macro is not working:

'Description: Make a drawing from model. Automates the file name, path, adding to vault, and save.

'Pre-condition(s): Model is open and the active window.

'Post-status(s): Drawing is open and ready to be edited.
