in Two SolidWorks Macros For Blazin’ Fast Assembly Work on SolidSmack
Is it just me or does this post seem a little dated? The use of macros for mating has become obsolete with the addition of quick mates. With the macro you either have to have the two objects selected prerun or code the macro to ask for the user input. With quick mates you just hold down the ALT key and drag the first object over to the second one and then click OK. May be a few more operations from the user, but beats having to see an error box each time you forget to preselect.

Yep Jeff, it's dated. I wish there was no need for macros actually. I'm all for the program knowing what I need to do and doing it, but those dang macros come in handy sometimes. This is one instance where I could show the usefulness of macros and open up ideas about using them for other functions that readers (like Rod) can use to make their job easier. It's kind of a two part post. Quickmates are great, but this show how to add commands, so to speak, and introduces people to very simple macro functionality. Cool?
