Hello
As part of the realization of a macro checking the custom properties of the components of an assembly, I am trying to open the materials dialog through this macro.
Having scoured the internet for a few days in search of a solution, and not having found an answer, I am posting this question:
Which VBA code to open this window or which method to use?
Thank you in advance for your answers or advice.
Hello, I think it is impossible to open this window with a macro.
Thanks to a macro, you can display a pop up where there would be a list for example to choose the material, or directly assign a defined material.
What exactly is the goal?
The purpose of this macro is to check the set of properties of all components in an assembly.
I can check by macro if the material property is filled, but in case it is empty, I try to open this "dialog box" or "other" so that the user can choose his material in the SW material base.
It is a priori impossible to open this window with a macro, you will have to go through a list of choices.
The macro below allows this:

At the time for me, you can open the dialog box with this macro:
Sub main()
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
swApp.RunCommand 501, " "
End Sub
Flawless...
It works
Thank you.
