CHExtractor v1.1

The CHExtractor program was written to assist users in Importing V4 Sequential Files into V5. The CHExtractor will import any exp and dlv3 files that are added to the list and selected. Yes I know that Dassault has one already but this one works outside the box.

PreLim v1.0

This Macro is used to create a ‘PRELIMINARY’ Stamp on a Drawing and save it out as a PDF. This little guy can do either the Active CATDrawing or a list of CATDrawings.
I used vba for this one.

The usage of PDM systems like SmarTeam is becoming more and more popular. Especially because Dassault is offering SmarTeam license’s for free with the PLM Express Package (Ask me about SmarTeam implementations). The ability to sync parameters with a PDM System, such as SmarTeam, is becoming more and more important. But the tedious task of creating the Parameters is a pain. I’ve made a few macros/programs to automate this.

By associating a number to a dimension the dimension can identified and then the Item Number and Dimension can be placed in a spread sheet.

Startup v1.0

This was a fun program to write. The requirements where as follows:
Need to create a new Part/Product/Drawing.
The ability to select an existing Document for Parameters (Vendor,
PartNumber, Description, etc)
The ability to choose to Browse to a Document, Select the Active one or fill
out a Form
The ability to add Sheets to an existing Drawing with a Format.
The ability to Update a Format if it is old.
The ability to add Parameters to sync with SmarTeam.
The ability to select from more than one type of Drawing Format.
I used Visual Basic 2008 for this Project. The next step for this one is to add a listing of Notes to select from depending on the Drawing that is selected

Well look no further as here is your answer. This little buddy will replace an existing string with a new string and save the document.

RenameAll

And it delivers. This fancy little tool will allow the user to rename all the parts and products and will match the filename and part number to each other for each and every part/product in in the active document. You can exclude parts/product. You can just add a prefix. You can also add a prefix for Parts and Products.
