Solidworks VBA Macro

Visual Basic for Application or VBA macros is easiest way to start with programming in Solidworks.

To use Visual Basic for Application, you must know working knowledge of Solidworks & hands on experience on VB programming language.

With the help of Visual Basic for Application we can perform any simple action to any complex action. But there are certain limitations to Visual Basic for Application.

For example I found that for large project Add-ins are created using VB.net or C# programming language.

It is not that with Visual Basic for Application you cannot do such kind of work. You can do almost any type of work you want in Solidworks but I found that other languages are more useful in creating very large and complex projects.

They are especially useful in organizing the project. For example, in VB.net & C#, we can create Folders for project arrangement.

But it not necessary that we should ignore Visual Basic for Application and jump to these advance languages.

Remember every complex project starts with few simple procedures.

Likewise after completing some simple macros you can combine more than one macro to form a single macro and make it more complex over the period of time.
