Create Multiple Undo Command Example (VBA)

This example shows how to create a SolidWorks Undo command to undo multiple SolidWorks API operations.

 

'---------------------------------------------------

'

' Preconditions:

'          (1) A part named Cylinder.SLDPRT exists in

'              the specified folder.

'          (2) The part contains four sketches.

'

' Postconditions:

'          (1) Two of sketches are extruded and two

'              of the sketches are cut-extruded.

'          (2) The following items appear in the

'              SolidWorks Undo list in this order:

'

'                        Boss

'                        API Undo

'                        Boss

'

' NOTE: If you select API Undo in the SolidWorks Undo list:

'       (1) The boss created after the recording of the SolidWorks Undo

'           object ended is undone.

'       (2) The two cut-extrudes created during the recording

'           of the SolidWorks Undo object are undone.

'       (3) The boss created before recording of the SolidWorks Undo

'           object remains.

'

'       Just like in SolidWorks user-interface, all actions above the

'       selected item in the SolidWorks Undo list are reversed.
