Scheduling the Task

To schedule the task:

  1. Under Task schedule, set:
    Option Description
    Running mode Specifies how often the task runs. Select Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly .
    Start time  
    Start date  
  2. Click Finish.
    The task and its title, scheduled time, scheduled date, and status appear in the Tasks panel. The status of the task is Scheduled.
    To run a scheduled task, your computer must be on at the scheduled start time. The SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler window does not need to be open. If your computer is off at the scheduled start time, the task runs when you turn your computer on.

    At the scheduled start time, the task is initiated. If the task uses a SOLIDWORKS macro template, the system creates a copy of the macro template and replaces the token names with the specified parameter values, then saves the file in the task working directory under the same filename as the original SOLIDWORKS macro template. The program and macro commands are executed.

    When the task completes, the status is In Progress. When the scheduled program exits, the status changes to Completed.
