Macro to Initialize Unity and Customs properties

[jeremyrz]

Hello,
I've created a macro that allows you to manually initialise certain perssonalised properties in solidworks.
It worked until I decided to merge it with another macro that initializes units. Since then, I've been unable to get my macros to work together, or even to separate the 2 as was the case at the beginning.

Here are the lines that make up my macro.

Dim swApp As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long

Sub main()

Call AjoutPP
Call Macro_Init_Unit

End Sub

'esoIsLocked = swModel.IsLocked
'Debug.Print esoIsLocked

'IEdmFile5:: Refresh
'If True = IEdmFile5.IsLocked Then
'MsgBox "Fichier archivé"
'End If


'Debug.Print swFileName

I'm getting compilation errors in VBA, and I can't find a solution to my problem.

Could one of you please help me find the problem?
Thank you very much.

In this line:

Code: Select all

Debug.Print GetPropertyValue(swModel, prpName)

you are calling your GetPropertyValue function with two arguments, but it expects three arguments:

Code: Select all

Function GetPropertyValue(model As SldWorks.ModelDoc2, prpName As String, prpVal As String) As String

The third argument is useless since the function returns a string directly, so there is no need to pass in another argument. Change the function declaration to this:

Code: Select all

Function GetPropertyValue(model As SldWorks.ModelDoc2, prpName As String) As String

Then uncomment the second line of the function:

Code: Select all

Dim prpVal As String

This will solve the compile errors but will result in a runtime error:

at this line:

Code: Select all

prpValNb = CDbl(Replace(prpVal, ".", ","))

because the variable prpVal doesn't exist in the Macro_Init_Unit subroutine.

Change this line:

Code: Select all

Debug.Print GetPropertyValue(swModel, prpName)

to this:

Code: Select all

prpVal = GetPropertyValue(swModel, prpName)
Debug.Print prpVal

The code will now compile and run. I leave it to you to determine if it is actually doing what you want it to do.

In addition I would advise to simply the codes, remove all unwanted lines, make separate sub/function for repeated tasks, for e.g. adding the properties. This way you can fix the macro and make it more robust.
