This macro is similar to the open assembly command used in drawings but works in assemblies instead

This macro will retrieve configuration specific custom properties from a part model and list them in a notepad (.txt) format. The file will be saved on the users desktop. The default properties will be listed at the end in the notepad. This macro is tweakedfrom an existing SW API.

Copies part level colors from one assembly component to another

When SW session ends, you will be asked if you would like to use your SOLDWORKS on another computer instead of this one. If a user answers yes, then either a message on how to deactivate SW is displayed or the SW Activation Wizard is launched. Updated 2/16/2022 and tested on Windows 10 with SW2020, SW2021 and SW2022. Should work with all releases from SW2012 forward.

Selects parent assembly of the selected assembly component. Useful when paired with the "Open Selected" or "Cycle References" macro along with keyboard shortcuts.

Opens the selected assembly/drawing component in a separate window. Also works on imported part bodies. Useful when paired with the "Select Parent" macro along with keyboard shortcuts. If no compatible component is selected, macro will launch the File-Open dialog.

This macro toggles the exploded view state of the active assembly configuration. If no exploded view exists, then no action is performed. If an exploded view does exist; the macro detects if it is in an exploded state, and if so, the macro will collapse the view. If the macro detects the view is in a collapsed state, the macro will explode the view. For assembly documents only. If more than one exploded view exists per configuration, this macro will only interact with the first exploded view. Use the bitmap and place the macro on the S-Key of the SW GUI.

None Provided

This macro was created to help NC Programmers utilize a SOLIDWORKS part model that has read-access only. This macro inserts the read-only engineering model into a read/write manufacturing part model that allows the NC Programmer to create tool-paths and maintain associativity to the engineering model. This is helpful for any Gold Solution NC Programming partner that stores their manufacturing data inside a SW Part (such as CamWorks). This technique is useful when NC Programmers have read-only access to the engineering model within PDM. This macro also has a .bmp included so it can be customized as a button with the SW UI.

Ability to check for bad geometry in Parts while running the Design Checker.
