I have a macro to generate STL files, but it seems to be ignoring the Angle and Tolerance preferences I set. Here is the relevant code:
silent = swModel.SetUserPreferenceIntegerValue(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swSTLQuality, swSTLQuality_Custom)
silent = swModel.SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLAngleTolerance, 5)
silent = swModel.SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swUserPreferenceDoubleValue_e.swSTLDeviation, 0.002)
' output as STL file
Save2Name = Left(swModel.GetPathName, Len(swModel.GetPathName) - 7) & ".stl"
silent = swModel.SaveAs4(Save2Name, 0, swSaveAsOptions_Silent + swSaveAsOptions_Copy, Empty, Empty)
I figure this must be just a simple thing I'm overlooking. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Edit:
One other thing to mention. Yesterday I upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit, and I lost all of my settings. VB called out missing reference libraries when I first tried to run the macro, and I fixed those. But maybe I missed something else? Because it seems to be completely ignoring the lines above and simply using whatever tolerance and angle settings are present when the component is opened...
Edit#2:
Just ran the macro in debug mode, and the 'silent' variable is 'false' for each of the 3 statements. Do I have the incorrect syntax?
Edit#3:
(last edit because I've completely run out of ideas)
Changed swModel to swApp in the SetUserPreferences commands, and now 'silent' is 'true'. I also added GetUserPreferences statements, and the parameters are really being set. I added Error and Warning variables to the SaveAs4 command, and I don't get any errors. Finally, I tried using the SaveAs3 statement instead, but no difference. Please help! I have A LOT of files to convert... today...
