I am new to using the APIs for Solidworks and don't have muchexperience programing in VB although if I have a starting point Ican usually get the rest of the way. What I would like to do iscreate a macro to let me set custom properties from drop downlists. I would prefer adding a button to the tool bar that bringsup a form that can be filled out with the properties since then Icould put labels and notes other than the field name. The otheroption is to just allow to add more items to the drop down box incustom properties.
The reason this started is because I am using custom properties toset up notes in the borders so I have one template for english andone for metric drawings then sheet formats for the page sizes. Mygeneral tolerance call out is formated as below where primary,secondary, and all ## are in fields in the custom properties.
UNITS PrimaryUnits [SecondaryUnits]
X = #.# #.#
0.X = #.# #.#
0.XX = #.## #.##
0.XXX = #.### #.###SolidworksApi macros
