I have keyboard commands set up for exporting my .idw drawings to .pdf format (PD for me.) I would also like to set this up for exporting my drawing to .dxf format. I think this can be done with a macro that can be activated by a keyboard command, but I could be wrong. I don't want to do this with an iLogic.

Is there any macro-command to do this :
"Open the .idw that you created your title block in. Locate and right click on your title block in "drawing resources". Select copy. Open the file that you want to put your title block in. Right click on "drawing resources" and paste your title block there. Now you will have to delete their title block and then activate yours. "
I want to change my drawing template and I have many to do and it must have somewhere somehow a way to do this automatically?
I have a macro that automatically creates a Detailed view on a sheet. It works on 2 input's:
- mouse click 1 (set's the target to be detailed)
- mouse click 2 (set's the location where the balloon should be)
The code works fine. But sometimes the user will start another command, or restart the same command, while it is still running. This off course gives all kinds of problems.
Is there a possibility in VBA to prevent the user to start another command while this command is running?Or is this problem a part of the clicking itself?
Here is my (it uses a Class Module called: clsGetPoint, see code below)

Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

Using a macro, I want to modify (specifically delete) the viewport from a layout tab after chspace from model space.

I'd like to change a layer's color from command line because of a user icon. I figured out from previous topics that I should use macro similar to this: ^C^C_filedia;0;-la;s;Verdeckt (ISO);c;1;l;dashed;;_filedia;1;re;
(I want to use this macro to change layer's linetype, too, but that's not the point)
The only problem with this macro: layer's name contains a space therefore Autocad tries to recognize Verdeckt as a command (and macro interrupts there) instead of setting Verdeckt (ISO) as the current layer. I've tried using different quote marks, none of them worked (' and " and <>). I hope there's a method for entering a parameter that contains space.

I have obtained a very useful macro from another discussion thread, [URL]....... It automatically names the frame members inserted by Frame Generator.

I would like it to load automatically whenever I am in Inventor and believe an Add-In is the way to go.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI added two macros to be run from a button in the ribbon. The first time I run one of these macros after startup of Inventor, it takes a lot of time to run (approx. 5 sec.). But the second and subsequent time the tools are ran, the process is pretty much instantaneous. It's like the VBAeditor has to load on the background before the tool can process.
I arrived a this hypothesis because the VBA editor is taking around 5-10 seconds to load for the first time but after the tool (macro) has ran once, the VBA editor can be opened instantaneously.
