Is it possible?
Call a macro from another macro?

You can shell to it if it is an executable, but the only other way I know to do that is via a macro feature.
Try this one:
SldWorks.RunMacro "", "", ""
Search SolidWorks API Help for: 'SldWorks::RunMacro'
/Anders
Thanx - Looks like just what I need!
from API help: retval = SldWorks.RunMacro ( filePathName, moduleName, procedureName )
I've tried this, but I don't like it. The few attempts I've made, there were problems with forms and class modules not initializing properly.

Tried it calling a macro with 5 modules and 3 forms - seemed to work great. This is just what I wanted to consolidate a few macro's I have with one interface to call any of them, without having to heap any more code into a single macro.
i know this is an old thread, does the parent macro save the variable definitions of the child (called) macro, even after the child macro completes its program?
