Run Custom Task

You can schedule tasks to run any application, using macros or command-line arguments that you specify.

See SOLIDWORKS API and Add-Ins Help Topics for information about SOLIDWORKS macro files.

Anything that you can run from Windows Start > Run can run as a custom task in SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler. See the Help files in the application you want to run for information about program command-line arguments and macros in that application.

Search 'Run Custom Task' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
