is it possible to create a custom toolbar in sw 2007?
i remember hearing someone where about a feature that lets you create a custom toolbar in solidworks. i cant remember if this was in sw 2007 or sw 2008. i would like to create a toolbar called "eng macros". i would also like to be able to update this on easily on everyones computer whenever a new macro is added to the toolbar.
is this possible?

yes. add toolbars using the addtoolbarcommand2 function, and remove them using the removetoolbar2 function. the program should ideally be a plugin. look up the function calls in the api help.

do you know of a good tutorial on how to create a solidworks addin that has a toolbar? we have visual studio installed on one of our computers, and i know you need that to create addins.

my book which will be released within a few days briefly covers plugins so that may help you. once you understand that you can probably understand the samples from the api downloads section of this site that use those 2 functions.

hey chris,
see if you can get your hands on the: "solidworks office premium api fundamentals" book i bet your solidworks provider can get you one.
you can also download the addin template from this website (api download section). the code created by the template includes a toolbar and a menu bar so what you want is literally ready and working once you create a new addin project.
hope this helps,
