SWX VBA with other IDE's

SOLIDWORKS
1

So,

I’ve been toying with VSCodium, and the amount of external support (add-ins) is amazing.

Is there any way to edit SWx VBA code outside of the SWx IDE?

Copy and paste from SW to other IDE.

That’s what I was afraid of.

Thanks

Don’t know how or if it’ll work.

Part of the problem is, you can edit in any editor.
You have to run it in SW.

See if you can get this to work, a lots of thing need to be inline to get it to work.
Most can’t get it to work.

I came across EnSuite Impact360 from CCE Technologies (www.cceintl.com) which claims to do automate tasks using CAD data in a no-code environment (ie. without CAD API programming)!!!

Has anyone tried this? what is your experience?

Thanks

@krisreddy, was there a reason that you had to post the same thing at 2 different posts?

Are you trying to market the tool OR you genuinely looking for feedback?

You looked like an ad bot for a while LOL

I looked at the website, lots of promise but nothing to back it up until you pay.
Their “no API” to open and translate file is a bit too much. They need to decode and translate the files somehow.

And they are definitely not giving their stuff away. One of the products was $3600/year.

Makes SolidWorks look like a good deal…
