Pure SolidWorks ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What Do You Mean SolidWorks Has Limitations!?!? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SolidWorks Macros ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The Road To Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Excel and SolidWorks – So Happy Together ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What Excel Brings To The Party (a six pack?) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Just A Little Bit Of Work Makes A Huge Difference Some People’s Idea of an Excel User Interface Less Than Twenty Minutes Of Work
Building User Interfaces in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],Input Messages Error Messages Warning Messages In-Cell Dropdowns
Building User Interfaces in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Building User Interfaces in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Building User Interfaces in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],F dMax
What Excel Brings To The Party (a six pack?) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Calculations in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Working with Ranges in Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],VLookup(110,VoltageRange,2,FALSE) = 1.73 VLookup(290,VoltageRange,2,FALSE) = N/A# VLookup(359,VoltageRange,2,TRUE) = 3.48 360 2.9 240 1.73 110 Impedance Voltage 2.9 Searches until it finds a value that is “greater than” the search value, then goes back to take the previous one.
Dealing With Unknown Quantities ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Criteria1 Criteria2 Criteria3 Criteria 4 Range “Holes” DGet(Holes,”Dia”,Criteria1) = 0.250 DGet(Holes,”Number”,Criteria2) = 2 DGet(Holes,”Number”,Criteria3) = #NUM! DGet(Holes,”Dia”,Criteria4) = #VALUE!
More Cool Excel Functions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What Excel Brings To The Party (a six pack?) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
OK, Enough Easy Stuff…On To The VBA ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Custom Functions – Repetitive Calculations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Custom Functions – Fill in Excel Gaps ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Note : Because we’re converting a Double to an Integer, this only works for numbers up to 32767. This was not an issue in my application as the model only supported up to 48”. But you may want to put a check in there so you don’t get overflow errors.
Custom Functions - Conversions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The example in your handout actually picks up on increments of 1/32”
Custom Functions - Handling Sets of Data ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Don’t like the pipe (|) character? Just change it to whatever you like in the SPLIT/JOIN commands.
How To Program In VBA ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Also look to Excel VBA and SW API Help files. They’re actually helpful. I know! I was shocked, too. Also check out www.krugle.org
Programming Tips For Excel ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The Object Browser
Getting Around In Excel With VBA ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Absolute Row and Column References ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Object-Oriented Programming (or some facsimile thereof) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The SolidWorks API is Sort Of Object-Oriented ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Early Bound Object Declarations aka “Fully Qualified” (+5 Style Points) Object assignment (instantiation) requires the keyword Set HoleDepth and HoleDiameter are Properties of the WizardHoleFeatureData2 object CreateDefinition and CreateFeature are Methods (functions)
Object-Oriented Programming and You (an example) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Option 1: Loooooong Lists ,[object Object],[object Object],Imagine this with a dozen instances, each with a dozen parameters! That’s … um … carry the three … plus eleven … over e to the x … That’s a LOT of cells! (yes, I know it’s 144, unless you’re counting the unit and label cells in which case it’s 432, but if you don’t count the blank cells, then it’s an even 300, plus another 12 for the component title cells, which technically are one because they’re merged, but you can count them as three if you want making 336.)
Option 1: Macro Code ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Option 2: Object-Oriented Approach ,[object Object],[object Object],Each window has a Window object, an object that holds all of the GlassPanes and an object for each GlassPane Table can expand as much as it needs to
Option 2: Macro Code ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
OOP Excel Style: The Basics ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Defining a Class ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Get allows you to get the value Let allows you to set the value
Collection Classes ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],You can pass this an index number or the value of the Name property
Alternate Add Method ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Collection Classes (Continued) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],You can pass this an index number or the value of the Name property
Ready? Set? … Instantiate!! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],*Coating property removed from code due to space, but it’s done the same way. *
Auto-Instantiation ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Accessing Your Instances ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Real Life Example: Me.Walls.Item(“Front”).Panels.item(Me.Walls.item(“Front”).Panels.Count).CeilingLocks.item(1).LocalLocation
VERY Quick Lesson In Debugging ,[object Object],[object Object],Click in this column to add a breakpoint
VERY Quick Lesson In Debugging ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Error Trapping (If It Can Happen, It Will) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Check it out! The errors in VBA are an object.
Where To Go From Here? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Connecting to SolidWorks ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Things To Note About SolidWorks API Programming ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],(Not enough time to go in depth into SolidWorks API programming, sorry)
Automation Approaches ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So What About VB or .NET? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Even Better Than Excel VBA? (Maybe) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What To Look For In A SolidWorks Solution Partner ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Thanks for doing your part, you sure are smart! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Paul Gimbel Business Process Sherpa [email_address] www.razorleaf.com

Editor's Notes

  1. Good afternoon and welcome. We’ve got a great show for you today. Al Gore will be here to tell us how the use of 2D is depleting the ozone layer. And we’ve got Samuel L. Jackson here with clips from the sequel to the blockbuster “Snakes on a Plane.” This one’s called “Splines on a Projected Surface.” Sorry. I tried to come up with better material, but my writers are on strike. But first, we’re going to talk about Automating Your SolidWorks Designs.
