We have a simple program on a keyboard shortcut in Solidworks to print drawings at B size, but I'd like to add a warning/error message to the user if the drawing has the "File edited but not saved" pencil symbol and/or the "Referencing older version" exclamation symbol shown in the PDM pane. The pencil symbol shows up for the drawing, but the exclamation symbol is next to the part/assembly the drawing is linked/referenced to (also shown in the drawing's "Child Quick Info" column). Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to add this kind of functionality to my macro if it's even possible?
Here's the current code for our program:
Dim SWAPP As Object
Dim PART As Object
Dim pagesetup As Object
Dim PRINTER1 As String
Dim CPAPERSIZE1 As String
Dim SHEET As Object
Dim PAPERSZ As Variant
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set SWAPP = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
Set PART = SWAPP.ActiveDoc
Set pagesetup = PART.pagesetup
Set SHEET = PART.GETCURRENTSHEET
'PRINTER1 = SWAPP.ACTIVEPRINTER
'CPAPERSIZE1 = PART.printsetup(0)
'Text1.Text = PRINTER1
'Text2.Text = CPAPERSIZE1
PAPERSZ = SHEET.GETPROPERTIES
'Text2.Text = PAPERSZ(0)
PSIZE = PAPERSZ(0)
If PSIZE = 0 Then
PART.Printer = "\\\\SERVER\\HP5N"
PART.printsetup(0) = 1
End If
If PSIZE = 2 Then
PART.Printer = "\\\\SERVER\\HP5N"
PART.printsetup(0) = 17
End If
If PSIZE = 3 Then
PART.Printer = "\\\\SERVER\\XES Synergix 8830"
PART.printsetup(0) = 24
End If
If PSIZE = 4 Then
PART.Printer = "\\\\SERVER\\XES Synergix 8830"
'PART.printsetup(0) = 43
PART.printsetup(0) = 25
End If
If PSIZE = 5 Then
PART.Printer = "\\\\SERVER\\XES Synergix 8830"
PART.printsetup(0) = 26
End If
pagesetup.Orientation = 2
PART.printout2 1, 1, 1, 0, "", 1#, 0, ""
End
End Sub
