Each macro is included in a ZIP file that has the same filename as the macro file (i.e. SaveConfigurations.swp is in SaveConfigurations.zip). The zip file also includes a "Readme.txt" file with a full explanation of what the macro does.
The following macros are provided by CADimensions as is. By downloading and using these macros, you agree that CADimensions assumes no liability over the use of these macros. (Okay, we just had to say that. Now have fun!)
| Macro | Posted | Description | SW version |
| Save Configurations.zip | 12/4/2003 | Allows you to save each configuration of the active SolidWorks part document to its own SolidWorks part document. The resulting files get saved to the same directory where the original SolidWorks part document resides. | 2003 or later |
| Traverse
Assembly.zip | 12/4/2003 | This macro is an example of traversing a SolidWorks assembly document. It recursively reads the entire assembly structure and outputs the structure to a temporary text file that opens in the Windows Notepad. | 2001Plus or later |
| ViewPort
ColorToggle.zip | 12/4/2003 | This macro will change the viewport background color from white to black or from black to white in a SolidWorks drawing document. This could be useful when you import a DXF/DWG file into SolidWorks and some entities cannot be found due to the original color they were in the DWF/DWG (i.e. white) | 2001Plus or later |
| SaveAsPDF
WhatToPlot.zip | 12/4/2003 | With SolidWorks 2004, we now have the ability to save SolidWorks files to PDF without a third party application (i.e. Adobe Acrobat). However, SolidWorks 2004 will only allow you to save a SolidWorks drawing with multiple sheets to one PDF file. So, one SolidWorks drawing file is equal to one PDF file. This macro will allow you to workaround that limitation. This macro provides three different methods to create PDF files of SolidWorks drawings. | 2004 |
| SolidWorks_
Custom_
Properties_
Automation_
Tool.zip | 10/18/2002 | SolidWorks Custom Properties Automation Tool. Allows you to create and edit Solidworks custom properties for a SolidWorks part or assembly document. | 2003 or later |
| CreateBlock.zip | 6/18/2002 | This macro allows you to create a symmetric block in a new SolidWorks part document. It creates a rectangular sketch based on values provided by the user, creates a diagnal construction line, adds the appropriate relations and dimensions to the sketch to fully define it, and finally creates a midplane extrusion feature from the sketch based on a value give by the user. | 2001Plus or later |
