Hi all,
Ref:Using SW2016 SP 5.0
Downloaded a customer file and everything in a language other than English, I found a 2 converters on the forum that will do the part files, yet get a run time error as it appears both are designed to only do part files.
So has anyone made one for an assembly file, if not any suggestions on modifying the following to do just that?
Regards,
Jim,
I'm not trying to be the forum police, but the people that can help with this would be more likely to see it if you'll move it to the API section.
Hi,
Thanks, I never saw that category or realized it was there as don't do much with macro's myself.
Regards,
You can use #TASK by Central Innovation to run this macro on all files in the folder.
Hi,
I can convert part files but it won't do the assembly file, I currently use the above macro by opening each part and running it. It would be nice to be able to run at the assembly level and convert any part associated with it, but I am not much of a programmer, hence my inquiry here.
Neat service, but not exactly what I was after.
Regards,
You can use codes form this example Traverse Assembly at Component Level Example (VBA) and set if condition to check if the component is part. If yes then run the converter.
OR if you can share the converter macro codes (as SWP attachment, text file or copy paste the codes but not picture), then I might be able to write something for you.
Deepak,
Here is the code, I would not mind if I have to do the parts separately and the assembly separate, just a pain to figure constraints if you can't read them and trying to remember icons isn't exactly the best thing.
let me know what you come up with as I am sure I am not the only one who would like this, I saw in another post about making a language setting as a wish feature for solidworks which would be nice as well, especially with things being sent overseas and designed in other countries.
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swPart As SldWorks.PartDoc
Dim swFeat As SldWorks.Feature
Dim newName As String
Dim dicFeatsCount As Object
Dim dicBaseNames As Object
Sub main()
Set dicFeatsCount = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dicBaseNames = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
'Add the list of predefined base names
'- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dicBaseNames.Add "ProfileFeature", "Sketch"
dicBaseNames.Add "Extrusion", "Extrude"
dicBaseNames.Add "RefPlane", "Plane"
'- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swPart = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swFeat = swPart.FirstFeature
While Not swFeat Is Nothing
If dicFeatsCount.exists(swFeat.GetTypeName2()) Then
dicFeatsCount.Item(swFeat.GetTypeName2()) = dicFeatsCount.Item(swFeat.GetTypeName2()) + 1
Else: dicFeatsCount.Add swFeat.GetTypeName2(), 1
End If
If dicBaseNames.exists(swFeat.GetTypeName2()) Then
newName = dicBaseNames.Item(swFeat.GetTypeName2())
Else: newName = swFeat.GetTypeName2()
End If
newName = newName & dicFeatsCount.Item(swFeat.GetTypeName2())
swFeat.Name = newName
Set swFeat = swFeat.GetNextFeature
Wend
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
End Sub
