Solidworks C# Addin – Sending a string to a macro

by

Solidworks supports 2 types of VB macro files

  • swp – newer version

  • swb – older plain text macro, here’s an example of the empty swb macro : 

    Dim swApp As Object  
Dim swModel  As SldWorks.ModelDoc2  
  Sub main()  
    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks 
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc  
  End Sub

If you have access to the source code of your macros you can convert them to plain text and leave in placeholders. 

MsgBox "--MyParameter1--"

After user fills in parameters on your taskpane replace placeholders in the swb macro with actual values and run it.
