Call an existing Macro-Script (possibly set a variable that lets me continue where I left of processing the data)ġ) first you need to open solidworks and the file you want to process:Ģ) you will need the openMacro2 function.Ĥ) then exit solidworks with the ExitApp Method.

Specifically, I am looking for the VB.NET code that does the following: The folders with my files are numbered, e.g. VB.NET console script that closes and reopens Solidworks for me, whenever 477 itterations are reached, and then continues the macro from where it has left off. My plan was to write a VB.NET script outside of Solidworks that can automatically restart the application without my intervention every X number of ittwerations, so I can process the thousands of files I have without my intervention. It appears as if Solidworks is struggling to open more than a fixed number of files in the same session. Inside my loop, I open an STEP file, verify it, and then save it as an STL file.

You would typically create a PDF if you wanted to ensure document fidelity, to make it more secure, or to create a copy for storage.I am running a VBA Macro in solidworks that stops working and requires me to restart Solidworks after exactly 478 loop-itterations every time I run it. Creating a PDF can involve compressing a file, making it take up less storage space. They can be viewed on almost all devices. PDF files aren’t typically created from scratch, but are usually converted, saved or ‘printed’ from other documents or images before sharing, publishing online or storing. It is maintained by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). The PDF format is now a standard open format that isn’t just available under Adobe Acrobat. The format has evolved to allow for editing and interactive elements like electronic signatures or buttons.

It was developed by Adobe so people could share documents regardless of which device, operating system, or software they were using, while preserving the content and formatting. PDF stands for ‘Portable Document Format’ file.
