Re: Structure system strangeness
I'm on 2024 version sp5, but the rotation I'm referring to is not the rotation of the profile sketch, which is available in the menu, but the angle of the profile sketch plane in relation to the initial sketch. When I change the position of the beams I'm modeling, it seems this plane keeps it's orie...

Structure system strangeness
I've noticed a weird behavior in structure system when changing directions of beams. I adjust the angle of the sketch line used to create the beam but the profile sketch that is extruded along this line keeps the initial orientation. There is no way to access this sketch or the sketch plane to fix t...

(re)Sharing my macros
Here's a bunch of macros I found really useful in my daily work. It started with the "save drawing as PDF" that I got a lot of help with from Alex Burnett ( AlexB ?) in the 3D experience SOLIDWORKS User Forum, since I understand very little about programming. It simply saves the document a...

Re: Split macro
@AlexB Just a thought: Instead of making the macro "intelligent" enough to know the right direction to split, wouldn't it be easier to just split in both directions? I suppose it wouldn't make the macro that much slower. It works quite fast already.

Re: Split macro
The reverse direction button was put in because there are scenarios where it tries to start splitting things in the wrong direction. I didn't make it smart enough to determine the direction itself but it's possible to do that. To set a default value, you can modify the form in the VBA editor to set...

Re: Split macro
Thanks everybody for taking an interest to my niche problem. And thank you AlexB. You hit the nail on the head with this one! SliceMacroFeature does exactly what I'm after. Though there is no edit it seems to function really well with construction history, so it's not really needed, I guess. Also It...

Split macro
Hi all. I've been struggling with a library feature for some time now that can split 80mm, 120mm, 160mm, 200mm etc shapes in to 40mm thick bodies we feed to a router. They need to be precisely 40mm for the nesting program to work. While library features works like a charm for cutting and numbering o...

Macro idea
A macro that collects all dangling relations and dimensions in a sketch and deletes them, would be a neat button to have. Often there are multiple dangling relations in a sketch and for some reason newer versions of SW tend to hide them from view. This function exists in the display/delete relations...

Re: Qr code generator for solidworks drawing
Many thanks Ömür. This is a really useful code. I use it for displaying dropbox-links for pdf and edrawings on the SolidWorks drawings. When it inserts the picture it varies a great deal in size. Is there an easy way to adjust this size to a fixed value within the code? What would be truly awesome i...
