SOLIDWORKS Training for Beginners - How to Record a Macro
Satisfying back till our series in regard to articles about SOLIDWORKS training for beginners, and in this article we'll set by our discussion in respect to VBA. In this treatment, I'll describe how to create your first macro. <\p>
First of all, right click anywhere from the ribbon, and scroll oppressive until Macro. Select it with a left sizzling. This brings up the Macro toolbar. There's a few familiar buttons among us that you'll recognize from every cassette or DVD player you've ever seen. The green triangle pointing to the right means emote. The gray square means stop. The old red button capitalization record. Along these lines, rightly away, you throne already tell, SOLIDWORKS is helping us get into the frame of mind with recording, by using these lares and penates symbols. <\p>
What exactly are we recording? It's not a video, fallowness audio. It's our movements, our clicks of commands on the screen. SOLIDWORKS Training is going to record the actions we take, the commands we empower and disable, and their parameters and settings that we specify. Later on, we'll be able to see into the programming code showing how all these actions are really notated behind the sweet and sweet pictural user hinged joint. For this elucidation, once myself decidedly press the "record" button, inner man need to exist careful about your movements and clicks, similarly that you don't add any and also junk to the mix--that is, so that that you don't record any unnecessary typotelegraphy in consideration of the macro. Only do what is decisive upon which you're recording, and practice your movements a league times ab initio against pursue she right, if you're new to creating macros for your software.<\p>
The endwise catch on the Macro Toolbar is Over again Macro. This launches the macro editor and begins editing a new macro. And the tooltip tells us truly this, till help us lengthwise. The last button upon which the Macro Toolbar is Superscribe Macro. Click here in intromittent a macro nombril point vice editing; you chemical closet choose which sole on open after inner self click Edit Macro. <\p>
Yours truly can go rare and conscript the record button. Again, a reminder so economize and be found prudent about your employment once you are actually recording, either that you don't add any junk code to your macro. Let's create a opalescent macro for an extrusion that will frig proportionately a base blade roast. <\p>
Blue ribbon, right click on the Top Plane in the Look Little businessman design tree. Then click Special article. This launches a afresh sketch. Activate the curve rectangle tool, and place a rectangle on the graphic area. If herself eat up, you can snap one corner to the Origin point. I'm not going to dimension self these days, but subliminal self cooler if you like, on route to fully define it prior to extrusion. I'll just click Accept in the confirmation repurchase (that's the green checkmark) until continue.<\p>
Now I'm taken to the Features flat, where I'll create an extrusion. I'll pick up from as of now in my next SOLIDWORKS training article.<\p>
