if you want to keep the same name but want to change view orientation then simply save the new view orientation with the same name and SW will overwrite the view name. Of course it will prompt you before doing that.

This is being worked on as reported by users.

Macro to measure length of all the segments in the selected sketch of the active model file and add total length as custom property with value in inches or mm (up to 2 decimal places). The macro will check the model units and accordingly will convert the total length into inches or mm Measure Sketch...

JP, how you want the macro to work? I mean do you want it to save STEP when part model is active and save PDF when drawing is active. OR do you want it to save PDF and STEP both when drawing is active.

gupta9665

You can use the scroll bar option to move to top.

I used the following command in the macro to set the missing setting in the template: IModelDocExtension::SetUserPreferenceToggle(swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swOneConfigOnlyTopLevelBom, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified, <OnFlag>) After that, the BOM of the top level were also sort...

Have you tried doing a manual sort through the UI using he exact same parameters? How is it inconsistent? Does the same BOM sort the same every time, just not as you expect? Or does the same BOM sort differently if you run it twice? You've specified literal sort order. This will cause 10, 11, 12, e...

I'm using the attached BOM Sorting macro to sort the BOMs in my drawing. The macro works perfectly for smaller sized BOMs but give inconsistent results when using with a BOM of large assembly (100 + rows). Anyone has faced similar issues? If yes where you able to find any solution or workaround? Unf...

Thanks, Deepak! Macros are always interesting! Need some time to study this one. It looks running, but must modify to our needs if this is the way to go.

Can anybody upload a part, where this works? Can't get it working and don't know how to link Bounding Box -dims to properties in sheet metal parts. I'm using SW 2022.

The Step won't be helpful. I can make a video or can try to make in lower version. What is your SW version?

It can be done using a 3d sketches, planes and other methods as well. Check attached file for one of the method.

Your VAR should send you the download files for 2020. You can also check around in your area or SW User group and I'm sure someone should be able to share you the installation files.

Not API way but have you looked into Hole Alignment tool (Tools > Evaluate > Hole Alignment)

You need to change the precision under Units settings.

Thanks Paul but most workarounds/software are asking for the recovery key which I do not have

Jut drag the view to second sheet. Do this in the feature design tree.

Workaround: Create a extrude cut of dia 4 which is tangent to both the edges (any corner). Now use the fill pattern and select that dia 4 feature for pattern and set your required options/settings to get the desired result.

I've seen this issue and could not find an exact reason. But I think it may be related to display state or configuration as you can set show/hide sketches per display state/configs. Speaking of a macro, you can use the hide all sketch macro which will hide all the sketches. You can set a condition i...

Freeze bar should be a system option which you only need to turn on once for it to appear on all part.

Edit the parent part while you are in assembly and then you can add the tabs to that part and can select other part to add the slots.

No as Tab and Slot works on in-context modelling.

gupta9665

2 options you can explore:

- Create a HTML file using eDrawings. The users would be able to open the files using browsers on any device.

- Create 3D PDF files which they can open using Adobe or Foxit Reader.

gupta9665

How about using a macro to set the display data mark?
