Change Solidworks Models by Macro

Out of category

Hi all

I use  a macro with a userform containing a list of choices to modify the solidworks options according to the choice of the userform. 

 

1. I'm looking to set 2 paths of the design library in the solidworks  options via a macro

My two paths:

C:\sw-parameter\Design Library

C:\04 BOOKCASES\SW\Design Bookcase

I use this command line to assign a path.

boolstatus = swApp.SetUserPreferenceStringValue(swUserPreferenceStringValue_e.swFileLocationsDesignLibrary, "C:\parametre-sw\Biblio design")

I don't see how to put two paths, do you have an idea?

 

2. I'm looking to refresh the design library in the

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Yannick

Hello. Try this:

boolstatus = swApp.SetUserPreferenceStringValue(swUserPreferenceStringValue_e.swFileLocationsDesignLibrary, "C:\parametre-sw\Biblio conception;C:\04 BIBLIOTHEQUES\SW\Bibliotheque conception")

Hello

 

I have just  found for point n° 1, we must add a "; " between the different paths

boolstatus = swApp.SetUserPreferenceStringValue(swUserPreferenceStringValue_e.swFileLocationsDesignLibrary, "C:\sw-parameter\Biblio design; C:\sw-parameter")

 

On the other hand, I'm still stuck on point N°2: Refresh the design library

Anyone have an idea of which command line to use?

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Thank you Jerome, for your feedback, it confirms that the line of code I had added was the right one.

On the other hand, I'm still stuck on point 2 : Refresh the design library.

Do you have an idea?

Thank you in advance.
