"Advanced File Output" is a SolidWorks VBA macro that automates the export of a drawing and its referenced model to multiple industry-standard file formats in a single operation. When executed, it reads custom properties (Part Number, Description, and optionally Revision) from the part or assembly referenced in the active drawing, constructs standardized filenames from these properties, and exports the drawing to DWG, PDF, and DXF formats while simultaneously exporting the referenced 3D model to STEP format. The macro streamlines what would otherwise be a repetitive manual process of saving multiple file types with consistent naming conventions. It handles filename sanitization to remove illegal characters, manages DXF export preferences (setting specific version and multi-sheet options then restoring previous settings), checks for existing files to prevent accidental overwrites, and provides user feedback on the success or failure of each export operation. This is particularly useful in engineering workflows where drawings and 3D models need to be distributed to vendors, customers, or other CAD systems in standardized formats with traceable part identification in the filenames.

This macro analyzes the angle of each selected sketch line in a SolidWorks part document and automatically applies either a horizontal or vertical sketch relation. If a line's angle is close to 0 or π radians, a horizontal relation is added. If the angle is close to π/2 or 3π/2 radians, a vertical relation is added. Non-linear sketch entities are ignored. This helps enforce orthogonality in sketches for cleaner geometry and easier downstream modeling.

Works nicely if you want to keybind one key to work in all the primary environments.

Extrude - In the part environment, if no bodies exist, will prompt for the input dimension of a mid-plane extrusion; otherwise will use extrude traditionally (end condition should be remembered as normal)Cut - Will cut up to next in whichever direction removes material - Best if in the sketch environment or if you have a sketch selected.

This is very useful when making balloons for large BOMs. As we all know the AutoBalloon is lackluster at best and will miss many balloons, but sometimes for complicated assemblies it's difficult to "Where's-Waldo" exactly which balloons are left to re-insert.

🔧 Macro Name: Batch Save As Previous Version (Ask per File)✅ PurposeThis macro is designed for batch converting SolidWorks files to a previous version, such as SolidWorks 2025 → 2024. It processes all .SLDPRT, .SLDASM, and .SLDDRW files in a selected folder (and its subfolders), asking the user before converting each one.This is useful when you need to:Share files with users on an earlier version of SolidWorks.Archive backwards-compatible versions of files.Downgrade project files for compatibility.🛠️ Core Features✅ Recursively scans folders and subfolders for SolidWorks files.✅ Prompts user for each file:Convert / Skip / Cancel.✅ Converts files to previous SolidWorks versions using the Advanced Save As options.✅ Adds a configurable prefix/suffix to the converted filenames.✅ Maintains references and structure via Advanced Save As options.✅ Converts silently (without opening dialogs) and logs success/failure in the Immediate Window (Debug.Print).📁 How It Works (Step-by-Step)1. Initialize and Ask for FolderWhen run, it prompts the user to select a root folder containing the SolidWorks files.If no folder is selected, the macro exits.2. Process Each Folder/FileThe macro recursively scans the selected folder and all subfolders.For each file with the .sldprt, .sldasm, or .slddrw extension:It prompts the user:✅Yes → Convert the file.❌ No → Skip the file.🚫 Cancel → Stop the whole process.3. Convert the FileIf the user chooses to convert:Opens the document silently via OpenDoc6.Prepares AdvancedSaveAsOptions:Sets SaveAsPreviousVersion to target the previous SW version.Sets SaveAllAsCopy = True to avoid overwriting originals.Applies a suffix (default: _2024) to the new filename.Saves the file using SaveAs3.Closes the document after saving.4. Finish/StopContinues until:All files are processed, orThe user cancels the batch via the Cancel prompt.⚙️ Configuration OptionsAt the top of

when the macro is run a form will appearinput the desired folder location of the drawings you wish to save as pdf. A small line of text below the folder to open field will indicate if any slddrw files were detected.in the save to folder paste the desired save to folder for all PDF files to be saved.optional; if you wish to put a prefix or suffix to the saved PDF file put he text in the corresponding input fields.click ok to run the macro. A progress bar will appear showing the user the current status of running the macro. The marco will open a SLDDWG file then save as a pdf and close the file. It will repeat over all SLDDWG files in the desired folder
