what do i have to do to my computer to speed up .stp imports. I have:
Gateway DX4885
windows 8.1
solidworks 2015 SP03
16GB DDR3 Ram
Intel core i5 processor 4430
Quadro K4000 GPU
im pretty much willing to do anything. im waiting 10 miniutes on a 28,000KB file
Maybe Scheduling a Batch Import? (that is, overnight... yeah, it doesn't make it faster)
SolidWorks Task Scheduler, CAD productivity software for carrying out tasks
so iv never run macro or command prompt type things. how would i schedule this task to import the files one at a time, save them as sldprt files, and close them before continuing on to the next?
As Don suggested,.. the macro/vba forum is best... I do recall someone making a few..?
Anyhow,.. if you have the Pro or Prem version, you scheduler has the STEP import option.
Very Sad that the Standard version does NOT include these... Why?... who the h#ll knows!?
the message from don van zile did not pertain to the batch import. Do you know of anywhere i can learn to write a macro or command to do waht i said above and schedule this task to import the files one at a time, save them as sldprt files, and close them before continuing on to the next?
HI Shane,
If you post this question about a macro in the API section somebody may already have one or give you some really good starting starting code.
