Greetings,
Is there any way of opening a SolidWorks macro file (*.swp) without starting SolidWorks?
For whatever reason, the swp files are binary encoded. It's odd as VB files are text and can be viewed with a text editor.
Thanks,
Chris

I might be wrong, but it seems that SW somehow embeds the referenced type libraries etc. within the swp file. Try checking/unchecking referenced files from Tools -> References, and see how the file size changes. This might be an explanation for the apparent binary format.

If you export to .bas they are not in binary.
