Hi,
I have published video which shows how to extend the functionality of SOLIDWORKS by implementing a custom parametric macro feature to create extrude from multiple sketches in a single feature. This feature can be embedded in the model and used on any machine. Macro code and example model are available for download.
Right up my street. Thanks for another great resource.,
Artem,
This is fantastic!
I just watched the video- it will take me couple of days to figure out what is going on but it will be worth the effort!
Thank you
Hi Artem,
It is sure impressive what you can do on the programming side of things. Always educational how you solve complex tasks with such clean and simple coding.
Well done.

John, Jordan, Anthony, Elmar. Thanks a lot for your kind words. I'm planning to incorporate this feature into the CAD+ Toolset (with more functionality such as dimensions, callouts, etc) as this is quite a complex feature, and maintaining it within the VBA macro will be quite hard.
Hi Artem,
To avoid any misunderstanding. When I said "simple" I meant professional, uncluttered, effective coding. Often done with very few lines. Antoine de Saint-Exupery comes to mind and his famous quote "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
Thanks for all your contributions that make so many difficult tasks a breeze.

Wow, Thanks a lot, Elmar for kind words - I really appreciate it. :-)
Artem,
This is really fantastic...and nice piece of work..
Just a quick question..
When I tried to run this code in 2015 and I am getting this error at the code below
Am I missing something with my limited knowledge of VBA
Hi John,
CreateTrimmedSheet5 was added in SW 2017. You can try to change it to
Set swBody = swSurf.CreateTrimmedSheet4(vCurves, True)
Which is available in 2015, but there may be more methods that are not supported. Please let me know. I just have SW 2019 and SW 2020.
Thanks,
Artem
