#TASK [Save Bodies As Assembly]: Generic Error. #Task failed to run a macro.

Taylor Duran Nov 8, 2018 3:49 PM

I was reading the forums trying to find ways to boost productivity and saw a lot of the gurus recommending #TASK to task care of repetitive tasks.

I downloaded it today and the library of macro features they have to use is very impressive. I can't believe this isn't talked about more!! Thanks everyone at central innovation!!

I'm still working on figuring out how everything works though.... so if anyone has any words of advice using #TASK I'd appreciate the input.

I've been trying to test out a few things on simple test parts, weldments and assemblies and one of the most useful things I found to implement in our workflow would be the "Save Bodies As Assembly" but when I run it I keep getting an error that says "#TASK failed to run a macro. Please make sure that you can run macros in SolidWorks."

I am able to run other macros directly in SolidWorks and through #TASK so I have no idea why I get that generic error.

Does anybody know what may be causing this error and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hello Taylor,

Thank you for writing this post.
We have attached a sample SLDPRT file which we used for testing and it works on our side. You could try this.
The output assembly should be created with following Structure in "Feature Manager Design Tree" as seen below.

Each Body is saved as a part in the Destination Folder

We would like to ask you for more details and it would be great if we can communicate using #TASK Feedback form which can be initiated as shown below or email at sharp.task@centralinnovation.com.au

Regards,
Vineet

  Looks like there was something wrong with my Default File Locations so when it was completing the Save Bodies it didn't have a template to use and would fail. I replaced that file location with the file that contains the rest of my templates and it seems to be working now.
