Property NOM_FICHIER in automatic

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

 

Here's my problem:

I have a NOM_FICHIER property that automatically takes over the file name (via Smartproperties).

This NOM_FICHIER property is used in the title block as a Plan Number but also as a Reference in the development of my bills of materials (via SmartBOM).

If one of the users makes a "save as" of an existing room but forgets to enable and validate Smartproperties, the NOM_FICHIER property will not update.

I'm drying up a bit to find a simple solution:

  • Is there a possibility to force the user to open Smartproperties?
  • each time you "Save" or "Save as", a macro is triggered and writes the right value to NOM_FICHIER?

Despite everything I'm going to set up in my standard rooms is to run an INTEGRATION every night (via TASKMANAGER) which will replace me and update this property.

Hello Does this option in the "General Options" of SmartProperties work in this case:

· "Display a warning message if changes are not committed in selection mode": when changing the document type or when selecting a welded parts list folder, if the changes entered in SmartProperties are not applied to the document then a warning message will appear:

"You have not validated the changes on the document! Do you want to continue? »

Otherwise, indeed, you can use a macro that replaces the save as button, but it becomes complicated...

I just looked at this option, it doesn't seem to work.

How do you register your money?

Because with my macro tutorial, it would be very simple, that's one of the reasons why I created it.

It can be found here: http://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/3d/macro-enregistrer-sous-avec-solidworks

I downloaded it, now I have to analyze it and customize it!!!

Maybe it will solve my problem....

For the moment I don't have the solution.

To work around the problem, I have a colleague who created a macro from an Excel file that compares the file name and the NOM_FICHIER property.

You can very well replace the "save" button of solidworks with a macro (with the same floppy disk icon).

This macro automatically launches and validates the SmartProperties, and then saves the document.

I've done it in the past, it works very well
