Hello,
I have a question about macro management on a local network.
We have a large design office, and all the macro are saved on the local network. But every time I have to make a change to an existing macro, I cannot save it because it's "open" (via a macro button on a SolidWorks I suppose). So I make a copy and I have to change the macro button on each PC, witch is not great.
I assume there is a better way to manage macro. How you guys do this ?
Thanks
Check the solution by Solid Air in this post Multiple users using same macro, How to save over it without everyone shutting down solidworks?
That's a great idea !
I can imagine a userform with a button for each macro we have. All my macro in one this is brillant.
Thanks
restrict directory permission to readonly to all users except you.
Hi,
that's already the case.
Just The IT dept. and I have the writing permission on this folder, and there are not using it.
We Have all our macros in a PDM Vault Folder...

I don't think it's because of a macro button, but someone is using it. if not, you can edit and save back
we saved all macro on the local network for everyone to share and I never had issue of editing and saving from the server
