what am i doing wrong here? select view
i have some code below as part of my macro. if i do not select any view, i want a message box to pop-up stating "must select a view". i am getting an error stating
"run-time error '438': object doesn't support this property or method"
if i select a view, it works.
any ideas what i am doing wrong? am i using the right call for getting the view?
is swselmgr.getselectedobject6 the correct call?

use on error resume next

on error resume next
set sw_view = swselmgr.getselectedobject5(1)
if sw_view is nothing = true then
swapp.sendmsgtouser2 "select view.... ", swmbwarning, swmbok
exit sub
end if
on error goto 0
when i run this the first time, it works. but if i select "no" on the dialog box, the macro ends. if i rerun the macro without selecting a view, the view = nothing and the entire macro runs. it skips the part that states "if view is nothing goto fail"
any ideas?
dim swapp as object
dim txtviewname as string

if swview is nothing then

yea, i left that out of the last one.
now i get "type mismatch" on
set swview = swselmgr.getselectedobject6(1, 0)

answer if you use the on error resume next before set swview = swselmgr.getselectedobject5(1)
the swview =nothing if your selection not equal view
and use the on error goto 0 to reset
set swapp = application.sldworks
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
set swselmgr = swmodel.selectionmanager
on error resume next
set sw_view = swselmgr.getselectedobject5(1)
if sw_view is nothing = true then
swapp.sendmsgtouser2 "please select a drawing view", swmbwarning, swmbok
exit sub
end if
on error goto 0 'reset on error

thanks. seems to work now. i dont understand what was going on before, can you explain why i was getting the "type mismatch" error?

if you click in the space on the draft, solidworks select the current sheet but
if you run the macro the selection equal sheet

i have also found that it is more helpful to set the drawing to the model, as in:
set swmodel = swapp.activedoc
set swdrawing = swmodel
that way, there is no chance that swmodel would be different (in property) to swdrawing.
to defeat the wheat, go against the grain.
