Hello SW Forums,

So here's the issue: We get STEP files from vendors frequently made up of 100+ parts, where each part requires an import diagnostic to resolve errors. We need to convert these assemblies to SW, then place everything into our PDM system. The problem is that 99% of the time, there are import errors with the parts that need to be resolved. The only way, as far as I know to do that, is to 1 by 1 open each part, run import diagnostics, resave. This is becoming unbearable.

I have found macros out there on the internet that get close to what I'm looking for, but I am terrible at coding, and completely unfamiliar with the SolidWorks API, so I can't make existing code work for my case. The SW settings for STEP files are all set correctly, I have the box checked for "Automatically run import diagnostics" but it literally doesn't do anything. I have seen answers out there to this problem involving the use of #TASK but I cannot get that god-forsaken program to do anything for me besides throw vague errors. I am looking for a simple macro to batch select files, or select all files in a folder, run the diagnostic on each part, and resave. This would save us hours of time.
