Saving STEP makes properties disappear

 

I am running the same macro on multiple computers, but I am receiving inconsistent results. On certain machines, the macro appears to reset file properties to 0.00000 immediately after saving the STEP file. 
Computers are similar: Windows 10 or 11, same SW 2023 SP4, tried sharing SW settings.


An example macro:

Option Explicit
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swDraw As SldWorks.DrawingDoc
Sub main()
   Dim partPath As String
   Dim stepPath As String
   Dim drawingPath As String
   Dim pdfPath As String
   Dim errors As Long, warnings As Long
   partPath = "C:\\temp\\testpart.SLDPRT"
   
   Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
   
   ' Open model file
   Set swModel = swApp.OpenDoc6(partPath, swDocPART, swOpenDocOptions_Silent, "", errors, warnings)
   If swModel Is Nothing Then
       MsgBox "Failed to open: " & partPath
       Exit Sub
   End If
   
   stepPath = Left(partPath, InStrRev(partPath, ".") - 1) & ".STEP"
   swModel.Extension.SaveAs stepPath, 0, 0, Nothing, errors, warnings
   ' Open model file

   ' Open drawing file
   drawingPath = Left(partPath, InStrRev(partPath, ".")) & "SLDDRW"
   
   If Dir(drawingPath) = "" Then
       MsgBox "Drawing not found: " & drawingPath
       Exit Sub
   End If
   
   Set swDraw = swApp.OpenDoc6(drawingPath, swDocDRAWING, swOpenDocOptions_Silent, "", errors, warnings)
   If swDraw Is Nothing Then
       MsgBox "Failed to open drawing: " & drawingPath
       Exit Sub
   End If
   
   pdfPath = Left(drawingPath, InStrRev(drawingPath, ".") - 1) & ".PDF"
   swDraw.SaveAs pdfPath
   ' Open drawing file
   
   ' Close the model (optional)
   swApp.CloseDoc swModel.GetTitle
   
   
   MsgBox "Export complete!" & vbCrLf & _
          "STEP: " & stepPath & vbCrLf & _
          "PDF: " & pdfPath
End Sub
