Greetings everyone,

Don't know if someone has had this issue, but I had a hard time figuring out this, so I decided to publish it.

I searched the forum and the web and din not find any solution, so I decided to post it here. It may help someone.

So, if you want to execute a Solidworks vba macro via Visual Basic .net here is the trick:

Imports SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks

     'This is a button

     Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click

        'Just to know if solidworks is already opened:

        Dim opened As Boolean

        If Process.GetProcessesByName("SLDWORKS").GetLength(0) > 0 Then

            opened = True

        Else

            opened = False

        End If

        'Now, this will open solidworks if it is not already opened:

        Dim app As SldWorks = CreateObject("sldworks.application")

        If app IsNot Nothing Then

            app.Visible = True

        End If

        'And the way to execute the solidworks macro:

        app.RunMacro("C:\Users\*******\Desktop\Macro1.swp", "Macro11", "Macro_name")

       'The three string are:

       'Macro filepath name

       'Module name

       'Procedure name

End Sub

Best regards.
