Hello everyone When I write Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks in macros, I encounter a user-defined type not defined. please Help me . Thanks
Thank you very much for your help, but after choosing 'sldworks 2010 type library', I encountered an 'Error in loading DLL' error!
Are you doing this inside SOLIDWORKS or MS office products like Excel? Also which version of SOLIDWORKS you're using?
hello
I'am doing this inside SOLIDWORKS and my version of SOLIDWORKS is 2016.

Then you should pick SW2016 libraries and not 2010.
Yes you are right. But sldworks 2016 is not my reference and it's 2010 only because I chose it!
I used Browse, but I did not find 2016 ...

Did you scrolled down the list to see if 2016 is listed OR trying searching in the installed folder for 2016 version. The DLL file name would be same as 2010 but version would be different.
Check under this location C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SOLIDWORKS\api\redist (the might be different in your machine depending on how you installed)
yes,I scrolled down the list to see if 2016 but not find!
I searched the location you were saying and found what was shown in the photo and still did not find 2016
What should I do now?
I'm sorry to ask you a lot
Do not look at api folder. Look at the root folder where sldworks.exe is.
In your case this would be
D:\SOLIDWORKS\sldworks.tlb
D:\SOLIDWORKS\swconst.tlb
D:\SOLIDWORKS\swcommands.tlb
hello
I found them
Is this the drive (i.e. D drive) where you've SOLIDWORKS installed? If yes then pick the DLLs files as suggested by Artem
Also can you post a screen showing you macro current references?
hello
Forgive me. I could not find the DLLs files suggested by Artem
I wrote this macro for a piece that changes its size using a user form.

Sorry my bad, those should be TLB files and not DLL (DLL are used for .NET environment).
Glad to hear to hear that you found them and is your macro working now?
Unfortunately, it's still the same error loading dll !
Can you share you screen via teamviewer or Skype to show the issue?
no.I can't.
sorry..
I have seen this before, when any reference is missing (not just the SolidWorks one).
Can you post a screenshot of the Tools -> References window?
