Running batch operation for assembly

Batch+ can be run directly within the assembly environment.

In this case a custom macro can be run on the selected components or on all referenced documents.

1. Option to process All Components, Top Level Components or Selected Components
2. Components to run the macro on if Selected Components option is selected
3. Option to activate all configurations when running the macro
4. Option to enable/disable the macro
5. Macro to run
6. Optional macro arguments. Specify the arguments in command line format if the macro supports them. See the Macro+ article for instructions on how to use macro arguments.
7. Button to add macros to the scope
8. Specifies whether documents need to be activated (opened in their own windows). If this option is not selected, the macro is run on invisible models. Read Model pointer in invisible mode for more information.
9. Option to specify if unloaded documents can be opened read-only. This option will only apply to the documents not currently loaded in SOLIDWORKS (or as a part of assembly components), such as suppressed components, lightweight components or components of the assembly opened in the Large Design Review mode
10. Option to specify whether components can be opened in rapid mode (Large Design Review for assemblies or Detailing mode for drawings)
11. Option to automatically save files
12. Option to suppress all popup messages
13. Option to additionally include drawings referenced by the assembly components. This provides functionality similar to Extract References
14. The Order by Dependencies option orders the input references based on their dependency (from children to parents or vice versa). Refer to the Order By Dependencies article for more information.
15. Start the batch process
16. Cancel the batch process

🎥 Export all referenced drawing files form the components of the assembly

This video demonstrates how to print and export all drawings used by components in the SOLIDWORKS assembly using integrated version of Batch+

Processing All Or Top Level Components

If All Components or Top Level Components option is selected for the filter, user can specify what type of components should be processed

1. Option to check/uncheck all part documents in current selection
2. Option to check/uncheck all assembly documents in current selection

Running The Batch process

Progress of the batch operation is reported in the progress bar on the SOLIDWORKS icon, and the currently processed file is displayed in the status bar.

After completion, the report, summary and log page is displayed.
