Good Morning
I am in need of some API help. I found this code on the web and I cannot get it to run properly. It gives me errors in hte noted locations (Red text beleow) I am also looking to make this code work on only the dimensions marked as inspection dimensions.
I am new to code writing in SolidWorks but do have some experience in other applications.
Any help anyony could offer would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the macro.
I am currently running SolidWorks 2009 SP3.0
