Hi there,
is there a macro code for simply "Save All" for all open and modified Documents (not closing it) and eventuelly also "confirm / ignore" any message? (I would like to have a silent save for All Docs)?
I would later add the start of a batchfile at the end of that SaveAll-Code, what backups the WorkFolder to somewhere on each Use of the macro.
Thanks for Replies
Yes of course, but as the "Save all" is just a click of a Button I didnt want to look for a "Get"-Option instead of just pressing this Button per Code.
But I did not find a kind of "SaveALL" code. I mean I have a Macro with a code which gets all open models by an array and saves & closes them, but I just thought there must be this function somewhere, what does the same as the SaveAll - Button.
You can initiate Save All using RunCommand with the argument swCommands_SaveAll. You cannot suppress dialog boxes though.
However, it's only like 4 lines to loop through all docs...
Below Code might help you.
Option Explicit
' Variable for Solidworks application
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
' Variable for Solidworks document
Dim swDoc As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
' Boolean Variable to Check True or False
Dim boolStatus As Boolean
' Main function of our VBA program
Sub main()
' Setting Solidworks variable to Solidworks application
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
' Get First opened documents in Solidworks and set it as current document
swModel = swApp.GetFirstDocument
' Loop all documents
While Not openDocuments Is Nothing
' Set Solidworks Document to Active Document
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
' Save the active document
boolStatus = swModel.Save3(swSaveAsOptions_Silent, 0, 0)
' Get Next document and set it as current document
Set swModel = swModel.GetNext
Loop
End Sub

Try this macro: Macro to save all opened documents silently using SOLIDWORKS API
Hi Artem,
I'm away from my desk so can't try the code
Is there any issue with opened documents "read only" - files are not checked out from PDM?
Hi Christian,
It will skip this document. If SHOW_ERROR warning is set to true - warning messag eis displayed, otherwise it is ignored. The status is displayed in the status bar.
Thanks,
Artem
