Number of configurations in a room

3D Design

Hi all!

I am asked to know the number of references in my library.
About 95% of this database is made in config. (so I can't just count the number of files in WINDOWS)
I don't have a PDM
Do you have an idea of how to proceed?

Hello;

If you have MyCadTools tools, it's possible with SmartBom...

Kind regards.

@Cyril.f Thank you for the proposal but I absolutely don't know how to use an API and the VBA...
@Maclane I'll try to contact whoever has it because almost all of us have floating licenses, except for 1 or two people who must have fixed licenses with the mycadtools

To use the document manager API, you will need to request a license key from Solidworks

but +1 for the idea.

I'm looking to print the license that has mycadtools but I've never used it

Hello @twathle ;

Roughly speaking, with SmartBom, to get the amount of file configurations contained in a directory (and, optionally, with its subdirectories), the following example should be fine:

and for more information about SmartBom:

I don't have time to go into details today but don't hesitate to ask questions here...

Kind regards.
