Thanks for the update, you have a great site here..
I hope you can talk more about solidworks 2012 or any new interesting feature it got.
I didn’t realize you had any new posts since this post went up, because this one has been sticky on top. I thought, “would be nice if he had new posts to subscribe too”.
Matt, I’ve been putting up posts as time permits. Do you mean I should change “New Posts” to “New posts to subscribe too”
How are you Deepak Sir? I am Solidworks v2010 user.
I am getting an error while saving macros. Saving macros in *.swp file gives no error but when I want to save a macro in *.vbproj & *.csproj, the macro is not saved at all. I have tried the same after installing visual studio 2010 professional. Please look into the matter and comment.
Praveen, check this post and see if you can get something: https://forum.solidworks.com/message/241999#241999
I asked this on behalf of Devi Prasad Samal. He’s my colleague
. We are still not able to troubleshoot the problem.
Praveen, can you please test on another machine if you’re still getting the same behavior..
We tried this on several machines but the results are same…
Hello Deepak,
I have tried in all machines where solidworks have been installed, but every where i am getting the same problem. I have checked that my system have Visual studio tools for application & .net frame work. but the issue remains.
I have asked one of our reseller about this. but they replied that u can’t save macro only in *vbproj. as I dont have viusal studio not installed on my system.
So my question is: to save a macro in *.vbproj do we really need to install visual studio? because depending upon that i can ask question him further.
Hi Mr Gupta, I’m from Colombia and i need some help. Do you know a way to put a text on a drawing depending of the life cycle status, i mean, if the drawing in in approved status then in the drawing appear a text that say “approved”, or something like that, something that changes automatic with the life cycle. Hope you can help me. THanks.
You might create a property in the drawing File properties and link that to the life cycle which should get updated while you check in the drawing into PDM. And then create a note on the drawing which is linked to this property.
You can also add a column in Revision table that have the property that say “approved”, or something like that which can be filled while checking in the file into PDM.

Hi Deepak,
I don’t know whether to post this here or not, I had a question please help me out.
I just started SolidWorks and its customization (using C#) last week. I had a question which i posted in the forums but no one had replied for that.
I need to invoke SolidWorks from C# and can be done by
SldWorks swApp = new SldWorks();
but what if i had different versions of solidWorks installed in my system and i need to invoke particular version of SolidWorks (Assume i had full file paths for the different versions). Please help me in this regard.Sorry if this is not the right place.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Venkata Ramesh V
I’m not that much experienced with C## or API, so can’t be of much help. You can always ask SolidWorks API support team to check.

Yes you can use the sheet metal tools in SolidWorks and then get the development.

If u post some training drawing files for the beginner like me we will be thank full for u sir.. keep your great work going sir.. superb blog will suggest to all my friends
Best will to use machine design book. Apart from that, look around yourself and try to make the objects that you can see physically around you. Try some cool renderings on them. For issues you can always come back.
