Are you New to SolidWorks and need some help with SolidWorks, PDMWorks and/or API, or are you just browsing to gain more knowledge in SolidWorks? Either instance you have come to the right place. SolidWorkstips.com went live in October of 1999 and has proven to be a great resource to tens of thousands of SolidWorks users over the years. Many have used it for the tips and many of you have have used the online SolidWorks support. I have spent a countless number of hours to create a site that is a real resource for SolidWorks users. The bookstore has been updated and I have added some VB books and the necessary Machinery's Handbook in a couple different additions not just the big one. Please Email me if you have any suggestions for the site and anything you would like to see for the SolidWorks Community. Thank you for visiting.
Testimonials
-Thank you for the e ffort you put into maintaining this site. I am sure that you realize what a beacon of hope a site of this caliber is to a beginner, especially one such as me who is attempting to learn Solidworks from two books that I was able to get. There is no formal instruction available anywhere near where I live, and separate tutorials such as the ones that I have seen here are extremely useful.
Kindest regards, G. De Angelis

SolidWorks Macro - Using Notifications (Events) in SolidWorks

API Tip #5 05/30/2005 (updated 5/1/06)
Notifications or Events give you a powerful method for triggering code to run when something happens in SolidWorks.This is the ideal method, for example, if you would like to run a procedure that checks to see if certain file properties have been filled out when a user saves a part.Unlike typical macros which run after the user clicks a button or manually runs the macro, macros that use notifications run continuously.They are prompted to run procedures when specific actions occur in SolidWorks.
This example will process notifications from SolidWorks to return when a part model is active and a notification from the part when it is saved.
This is part 1 of a 3 part series on the full use of the Filled Surface tool. Parts 2 and 3 are posted in the members area. If you like what you see, take advantage of the 4 day free trial at SolidWorks Daily
This Quick Translation Macro is fully featured to allow you to create:
PDF
TIF
JPG
DWG
DXF
AI
PSD
soon eDrawings...
This macro will create any or all of the file types above of any SolidWorks drawing that you have active on the screen. This Macro saves so much time if you need to create even one file type all the time. For instance that PDF for Doc Control, or that AI or PSD file for marketing. Your just a click away.
