Find a format of shots without opening

Hello

I want to know the form of my A0 , A3 drawing ... without opening the plans 

Anyone have an idea?

Hello

Without opening the plan I only see a bit of a DIY solution which consists of writing a program to read the slddrw file as a text file in order to find the text corresponding to the path of the plan template (by opening the plan file in Notepad++, we see this information written in hard, see attached image).

Otherwise, through the APIs, it is possible to open Solidworks quickly in invisible mode and then open this plan in order to raise its format --> small program to write.

Kind regards

Hello

In the Integration tool of myCADtools you have this feature in the conditions.

This can allow you to bulk add a format-based property to your files. This will make it easier to visualize the information.

Otherwise you have to go through a dev with the GetSheetProperties Method API (ISwDMDocument13)

Hello

You can use the preview pane in Windows windows and infer the format based on the size of the title block.

Hello

You open solidworks explorer, and when you select your plan you will have a view that will allow you to see the format in the properties tab.
