Hi all,

I made my first macro and it seems to work just fine. However I have one problem that i can not solve.

The macro creates a new drawing from a part/assembly based on a drawing template. I added some msgbox in case the file already exists. This al works fine. But when trying to save the newly created or existing file with the save button (or ctrl-s), after running te macro, the 'browse-for-file-dialog' pops up instead of just saving the file.

It looks like the 'session' is not aware of the 'save-action' in my macro. So it reacts like the file was not saved before. If you know what I mean...

Dim swApp As Object
Dim Model As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim Part As Object
Dim Part2 As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc

Dim MyPathName As String
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFolder As String

Dim MyDrawingPath As String

MyPathName = Part.GetPathName
MyPath = Left(Part.GetPathName, InStrRev(Part.GetPathName, "\") - 1)
MyPrePath = Left(Part.GetPathName, InStrRev(Part.GetPathName, "\Google Drive\") - 1)
MyFolder = Right(MyPath, Len(MyPath) - InStrRev(MyPath, "\"))
MyFile = Right(Part.GetPathName, Len(Part.GetPathName) - InStrRev(Part.GetPathName, "\"))

MyTemplatePath = MyPrePath & "\Flemac bvba\SW Design Team - SW Library\SW Drawing Templates\Flemac - A3 Portrait.drwdot"
MyDrawingPath = Left(Part.GetPathName, Len(Part.GetPathName) - 6) & "SLDDRW"

This is my first post here. So please forgive me if I do something stupid ;-). I obviously took some codes from examples I I found on the internet.

Hope someone here can help me with this.
