Done with pdf moving on to dxf

Hi All,

With your help Ive succeeded and more importantly I understood how to make a macro that save's a drawing sheet as pdf.

Now I'm moving on to a dxf.

The only thing that matters to me is that the scale is 1:1

I tried that:

if swapp.DxfOutputScaleFactor1 then swapp.DxfOutputScaleFactor=1

but got an "Object does not support this property or method" error

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Ron.

Ron,

DxfOutputScaleFactor is not an API object or method. You can retrieve its value using the GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue method and save it using SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue.

Use this: Dim bResult As Boolean If swApp.GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue(swDxfOutputScaleFactor) 1 Then bResult =3D swApp.SetUserPreferenceDoubleValue (swDxfOutputScaleFactor, 1) If bResult =3D False Then MsgBox "Failed to set 'swDxfOutputScaleFactor' to 1", vbCritical End If End If

Ron,

This is a pretty good group but for API questions I would use the SolidWorks-API google group or SolidWorks hosted forums instead. They are focused on API related info while this one is very generic.
