Hello all,
Looking for some input on an idea I have for a macro. I want to create a macro that will:
- prompt me to select a face
- turn the selected face red
- prompt for "part number" eg: 12345678
- prompt for "rev" eg: C
- insert the entered PN and rev into property list
- save the file as "(part number)-R(rev)" in a selected locationing the eg: 12345678-RC.sldprt
- create new email in outlook with recipient email address(this will always go to the same person)
- attach the part previously saved in email
- send the email
I think I could probably get the first half to work on my own but I don't think I could figure out how to do the email part. Just wondering if anyone has any input, tips, pieces of code that I could use, etc. I'm looking for a very open discussion here with this post. I hope to get a lot of sharing of ideas and info to help me and everyone else out with their API/macro issues. Any API related talk is welcome here.
Also if there are any ambitions programmers out there that would like to give this a whirl be my guest and let me know if you make any progress.
