Ordering Mates with VBA

Fabrizio Todaro Sep 12, 2018 7:08 AM

Hello all.

I need a vba macro to order Mates.

My goal is to keep unsuppressed mates in higher position and suppressed mates in lower position.

I need this because in assemblies with more than one configuration and a lot of mates, is very hard to understand wich are suppressed in a configuration and wich are unsuppressed in another.

Thank's

Hi Fabrizio

While I'm not sure how to do this with a macro, I did want to let you know that this is something coming in SOLIDWORKS 2019.

Mates can be grouped into folders based on "status" as explained below.

  Hi Ryan,
  It exists and I have a macro vba that orders parts and assemblies, I thought you could make one that also ordered the mates.
  
  Thanks.
