save dialog window
i'm trying to generate the standard save as window you get when saving a newly created file. is there a way to get this? when i record a macro for saving a new file, it hard codes the file name and location in. i want to allow the user to browse to a location and enter the file name.
thanks

you will need to add a use form o teh macro and then add a commondialog control to the form. as a default, this control is not available in solidworks vba so you will have to add it to your available controls. "tools->additional controls" and check "microsoft common dialog control".

wayne,
i get an error when i try to drop the control on my form. i get a pop-up with "the control could not be created because it is not properly licensed."
i don't understand what the error is here. do you have any idea of a fix?
