Right, because every application defines their own object model.  There’s no 
“general rule” that applies to all COM servers.  You HAVE to go through the 
documentation for THAT product, or at least look at some examples.

Re: [python-win32] Run solidworks macro from python.

2022-02-10 Thread Moritz Mühlbauer 

Hello Sanaa,

I used makepy.py to generate swcommands.py, swbindings.py, swconst.py
and cosworks.py and placed them in the same directory as the python file
I ran (at least I think it worked that way).

Then,

import swbindings, swcommands, swconst, cosworks
import win32com.client
import pythoncom
sw=swbindings.SldWorks()
arg1 = win32com.client.VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_DISPATCH, None)
mdsl=sw.NewDocument(r'C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS
2018\templates\MBD\part 0251mm to 1000mm.prtdot',6,1,1)
model = sw.ActiveDoc
modelExt = model.Extension
selMgr = model.SelectionManager
featureMgr = model.FeatureManager
sketchMgr = model.SketchManager
sketchMgr.InsertSketch(True)

etc. worked fine. It should work similarly with your code.

Inspecting swbindings.py, I found a RunMacro function, which might be
what you need.

Are there any error messages?

An other way would be to run the macro from excel using xlwings, if it
is a excel macro.

Best regards

Moritz

Hello. I have started a project in which I have to link both 
solidworks and python. I want to use Pywin32 to run a macro from 
python. here is my code:


app=win32com.client.Dispatch("SldWorks.Application")
app.OpenDoc("C:/Users/sm5126/Downloads/Python/Python/Part1.SLDPRT", 1)
app.Run("C:/Users/sm5126/Downloads/Python/Python/Part1.SLDPRT!ForceRebuild.swp")

I basically want to use the same run function as for excel. But it 
does not work. Is there a way to run a macro from python using Pywin32?


What do you mean by "it does not work"?  Do you get an error? Does it crash?

Have you read the documentation for the SolidWorks API?  As I read the 
documentation, the API for running a script is called RunScript, not Run.
