Ok, let me set it with more details. Assume I have a body length width height, specific geometry, let's say a tube. I need to cut it and have 10 pieces from zero to max height (which will have different shapes) with a macro command is it feasible in Visual basic? So assume that I begin from zero, I apply 5 mm up, I get the volume (calculated) then plus 5 mm again the volume etc. I need both the volume and the surface mm^2.
Can the solidworks give me a vector as an output like this?
volume1 height1 surface1
volume2 height2 surface2
etc..
Can I dashes automatically which will indicate these volumes?
Last, could this cad be exported as .png format?
Excuse me but I don't know anything about macros. I used Solidworks in the past as a student and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do it before I invest time on this, it is really preliminary phase. Please explain with an example whether this is feasible. Thank you !
Pascal, there are a lot of great ideas in the post I've listed below. I hope it provides some insight.
Alin, yet another WPUC that keeps on giving.
