SW- defined scale when inserting first view

Jul 27, 2006 9 Replies

Every time I insert the first view in a drwg, SW chooses a scale for the sheet.



And every time I have to change that scale to something 2 to 4 x bigger.



Is there a way to control this setting?



SW2006 - Sp4.1

When I clicked the link I just got the compiled text of the macro.

You should be able to open notepad and paste that into a file and give it the swp extension if you get the same thing.

I get the same, tried pasting into text file and renaming, but it would not open.

(Using Firefox) right click on the link, Save link as into your Solidworks macros folder.

I'm using IE6 and a 'save target as' produces an HTML file, which again cannot be open by the SW macro editor. Pete

Sorry, I just tested it again here is the verdict.

Using IE6 or 7 RMB>SaveTarget AS and allow it to save as an HTML. Then modify the extension from .htm to .swp and open it for editning in the SolidWorks VBA Editor.
