macro for cube, centered
i was wondering if some one could make a macro that would create a cube and have it be centered on the origin. of course i would want it to prompt me for the dimensions. thanks, this would be a huge help.

not sure where you want to go with that, but if it's just to be a starter part, create one and save it as a template part. that way anyone can choose that one to start with.

i tried doing the record but everytime i run it, it puts the same dimensions in. i would like one that would just prompt me for each dimension.
option explicit
sub main()
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim lmate as string
dim myfeature as sldworks.feature
dim part as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim boolstatus as boolean
dim longstatus as long, longwarnings as long
dim vsklines as variant
set swapp = application.sldworks
set part = swapp.activedoc
lmate = inputbox("tel me the size (mm)", , 5)
if lmate > 0 then
reading up on what ivana wrote here, looks like your ticket out.
