Can someone help me figure out why this macro won't compile? I am trying to get the mass properties of the components of an open assembly relative to the origin of the over all assembly. I have an assembly open, then I am trying to loop through the components and get the mass properties information as well as the transform info and then transform the cg's and and translate them to the appropriate positions and then write the information to an excel spreadsheet.
Here's the Macro. If you can answer my question than you probably already know this, but just in case, in order to get the excel portion to work you have to be in the macro window and then check the box in tools -> references -> Micorsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library.
'----------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' (1) Assembly is open.
' (2) Components are selected in feature manager.
' (3) go to tools->references-> and check "Microsoft Excel 10.0 Object Library" box
'
' Postconditions: None
