What's the chance you can advise on adjusting the macro to locate the STL in the native folder of the part you're exporting? For example. I have a project folder and within that I have Folders for IGS, PDFs, DXFs, and STLs. I'd like it to recall the folder of the SW file and then save it to it's re...

I would try and start fresh like gearsawe suggested. I don't know why you'd get that error, there's no switch statement. The only thing I could think of is maybe it got added to an existing macro or some code or text got added to it by mistake.

Just go to Tools->Macros->New then paste the above code over the code that Solidworks generates. Then save it. You could then ...

I couldn't find a macro to do this so I made one. Set your paths (see comments in code). Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim Part As ModelDoc2 Dim result As Long Sub main() Dim Path As String ' SET YOUR STL OUTPUT PATH Path = "C:\Stuff\Files\3D printing\STL\" Set swApp = Application.SldWork...
