Macro – Save as STEP (Also Parasolid and so forth)

I am looking for a macro to do the following:
Open part file.
See that it has multiple configurations with their own specific part number.
Go through each configuration and save it as the part number as a STEP file.

I’d like it to pick the entire folder and go through every part and assembly and save them to “STEP FILES”.
It would be like Task Scheduler only better.

Looks like our tool DPS JobBox could be helpful: https://www.dps-software.de/produkte/pr ... bbox-suite

It's a software that brings a collection of actions (like "Start SOLIDWORKS", "open a document", "run a macro", ...) that can be organized as required and then you can e.g. run your job on a selected folder filtering the desired file extensions.

The logic behind it is comparable to programming but without having to know the language. You can even use loops etc.

Feel free to test it. In its basic version it's free to use, it just needs a (free) registration to get rid of the splash screen for each job run.

What you've asked here should be easy to be done with it.

Hi
I use this to export step files. Each config to a separate step. Solidworks must running and the file mut be open when using this macro.
