I have used the below Macro for years. Now all of a sudden is is an issue, with the cvs/xls import issues. Basically the macro creates a CVS file through SaveAsText, but the macro gives it an .xls file extension. When the file is opened, the user is prompted to "fix" it. Now all of a sudden I'm getting flack for this.
Can SaveAsExcelFile be used here instead? or is there any other way(s)?
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swBOMTable As SldWorks.BomTableAnnotation
Dim swTable As SldWorks.TableAnnotation
Dim swAnn As SldWorks.Annotation
Const BOMTemplate As String = "D:\\Custom Paths\\BOM Template\\BOM-STD.sldbomtbt"
Const OutputPath As String = "D:\\Test Data\\"
Dim ConfigName As String
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
ConfigName = swModel.GetActiveConfiguration.Name
Set swBOMTable = swModel.Extension.InsertBomTable(BOMTemplate, 0, 0, swBomType_e.swBomType_Indented, ConfigName)
Set swTable = swBOMTable
swTable.SaveAsText OutputPath & "BOM " & swModel.CustomInfo("SW-File Name") & "_0" & ".xls", vbTab
Set swAnn = swTable.GetAnnotation
swAnn.Select3 False, Nothing
swModel.EditDelete
End Sub
