Hello,

I am looking into how I can create scripts that would  generate a text file which can then be read in by Solidworks to create  the 3d model.

I need to be able to create multiple iterations of a  model (a solenoid winding) with different parameters (such as number of  turns, wire thickness, and number of layers). I have attached a file  that shows an example of the type of part(which I now made by hand)for  which I want to automate the process.

I was planning on writing a  script in perl and then creating a batch file that would run the  script and then Solidworks in non interactive mode.

Does anyone know if this could be done, or if there is a better way of doing this not using an outside script?

Cheers!
