This macro checks the current selected group of items for balloons, and then changes the selected ones to underline, tight fit & whatever text the user inputs. While in SolidWorks, it remembers this value for the next time around. This macro will change any balloon texts, however it wasn't until 2001+, SP3.0 that SW allowed stacked balloons to have different properties, so the functionality is somewhat limited in earlier versions.
This macro gets the bounding box dimensions for the config specific model and adds a small amount to it. This amount can be changed by modifying the "AddFactor" value below. It checks to make sure you have a proper document open. It checks & utilizes the user units. It will add 3 separate properties or combine them all into one property. It will optionally draw a 3D sketch for you.
This macro gets the mass for the config specific model in the pre-selected drawing view. It also puts the selected value in the clipboard. If a block that contains a "weight" tag name is also selected, it will put the selected value in that note. It checks for no drawing, lightweight, etc.
This macro will loop through each of the configurations in the current file, and output a list of the config names along with the path name & filename. This info is appended to a common text file, which can then be imported into an Access table, or whatever.
Macro sets textwidth for selected texts. This is useful for all texts which should perform a automatic word wrap, for there is no way in SolidWorks itself to enter a text with a specific width which will automatically word wrap. ATTENTION: the annotation will lose "Use document font" property
Designed to automate the process of creating strait Piping by simply selecting Schedule and Nominal size, and entering a length. Although there have been zero compaints, use at your own risk I will not be responsible for any adverse affects this may have. (Possible loss of every thing you have ever worked on). Seriously though I will not be held responsible. All units are entered and shown in inches
