Hi everyone I made a design of elevator car frame in solidworks and can change the dimensions with vba macro userform. Macro runs on model opening and rebuild the model with new dimensions when clicking update button. Anybody can use the model who don't know anything about solidworks. Have a good day

Hi guys, in this video I'm going to show you how to create an automatic bolt model with a SolidWorks macro. Thanks to this macro I have developed, you will be able to automatically determine parameters using the Excel database and quickly model bolts of different sizes. Our macro is integrated using the ChatGPT artificial intelligence model to make sense of text-based commands and perform the necessary operations in the SolidWorks environment. This greatly automates the design process, saving you time and minimizing errors. In our video, I will first explain step by step how to get the parameters in our Excel database and how our macro works. As a result, you will be able to create bolt models of different sizes and specifications. You will also discover the potential of the AI-based approach in design processes and see how you can use it in your own projects in the future. If you want to speed up your design processes and increase productivity in SolidWorks, this video is for you! Start watching now and discover how our macro can help you.

In this solidworks tutorial I intend to show how to generate a macro, which through a user form automatically creates a cylinder or disk with custom values for diameter and thickness. This function can be very helpful when you need to create some type of extrusion quickly. En este tutorial de solidworks pretendo mostrar como generar una macro, la cual por medio de un formulario de usuario crea un cilindro o disco automáticamente con valores personalizados de diámetro y espesor. Esta función puede ser de mucha ayuda cuando se requiere crear algún tipo de extrusión rapidamente.

How to create a simple macro in SolidWorks?

Ok, here it is. The Macro is attached. The screenshot of the macro is also attached. This macro creates a plane, draws a rectangle and extrudes it, every time in the same position irrespective of any other already presented features etc. There are comments for each operation, so It should be pretty clear now. Couple of main points: 1) Every time you create the sketch you have to assign it as an object to a new variable of type Object (in our case it is Sketch_Hardi) before(!) closing it. This way you will have all sketch names organized, and you will always select the right one. 2) Every new feature you create (Plane, Extrude, etc) with new variable of type Object as well. This gives you the same control of selection only the right features as you want them (By referring to it's name). Like in our case it is Hardi_Plane.Name and Hardi_Extrude.Name 3) If you have a lot of features, just use arrays of type Object (if you need help with arrays, loops etc, let me know) 4) We have a proper Object-Oriented code, so think in classes, methods, and instances. Again, need help, just point to the part that you do not understand and I'll explain it to you on a basic level. Hope this helps, enjoy
