Hello Everyone,

I am very new to VB programming and will really appreciate if someone can help. 

Desired output:

  1. A user presses save or (ctrl-s) in either part, assembly or drawing. 

  2. It runs a macro which extracts the properties from filename. 

  3. Macro should also run when the autosave kicks in for either part, assembly or drawing

Requirements: User should not be required to run the macro 

I have the macro which extracts properties from filename (used ‌ macro from )

For starting the macro on start, I followed ‌ recommendation from https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/34089#387860 )

To run the macro when a save event is fired, I tried following from ‌, ‌, ‌ and @Tobin_Sparks. But, I cannot understand the code and hence dont know what to change. 

Will appreciate if someone can put sample code.

‌ recommendation  

Extracting properties from file name macro (credit ‌, ‌). This is working fine, but user has to run the macro. 

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

Dim swModel As ModelDoc2

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc

swModel.DeleteCustomInfo ("PartNo")

swModel.AddCustomInfo2 "PartNo", swCustomInfoText, Left(swModel.GetTitle, 6)

swModel.DeleteCustomInfo ("Rev")

swModel.AddCustomInfo2 "Rev", swCustomInfoText, Mid(swModel.GetTitle, 8, 1)

swModel.DeleteCustomInfo ("Title")

swModel.AddCustomInfo2 "Title", swCustomInfoText, Mid(swModel.GetTitle, 10, 50)

End Sub

Thank you in advance.
