PAC4SWX MultiJob settings

PAC4SWX is a tool to batch run macros with SolidWorks documents. With PAC4SWX you can choose multiple documents from your filesystem and run a macro with them in one step.

Set MultiJob parameters

You can set various actions for the new MultiJob tasks. The MultiJob consists of up to three pre job actions and up to ten tasks, which are processed for every document in the PAC-list (or the active document). The momentary settings of PAC4SWX are saved before executing the MultiJob and are restored on successful completion.

The settings can be saved on a user-bases in the main dialog. If you want to store the settings in a file or read them from a file you may do so from the main dialog.

If the MultiJob is executed all entries are processed. Entries labeled "-" are empty and wont do anything.

The MultiJob sttings dialog is separated in two areas:

• Pre Job Action
  In this area you can set up up to three tasks, which are execute before the MultiJob tasks are processed. There are several kind of tasks to choose from:

  Tasktype	Action
  -	empty task (wont do anything)
  LoadSettings	This task will load PAC4SWX settings from a previously saved file. You can generate a PAC4SWX setting file from the main menu (Options/Save settings to file). Please enter the full path to the setting file in the textbox to the right or choose the file with a standard file box, if you click the "..." buton.
  LoadPACList	This task will load a PAC-list from a file. You can generate a PAC4SWX setting file from the main menu (File/Save as) or from a external program or tool. Please enter the full path to the setting file in the textbox to the right or choose the file with a standard file box, if you click the "..." buton.
  RunMacro 0 - RunMacro 9	This task will execute the macro with the number 0 to 9, like they are set in the run macro settings dialog (description). This is useful to generate a special environment in SolidWorks or i.e. to generate a filelist.
