run once
hi
please advise if it is possible for a macro to be run once only.the attached macro scales the part by enlargening it by 1%.the scale function is renamed to shrinkage0.1 in the tree.is it possible for the macro to check the tree first if "shrinkage0.1 is already there? if "shrinkage0.1" is in the tree then could some code be added to say that the macro has been run already by means of a msgbox.
thank you

hi feroz,
you coud use featuremanager::isnameused to know if the feature already exist.

hi feroz,
i don't have any example, anyway it's very simple:
- get the feature manager object by the document modeldoc2::featuremanager
- call the method featuremanager::isnameused that returns true if already exist a feature with the name searched.
i don't know your situation, anyway you can retrive the document object (modeldoc2) by many ways: from solidworks by activedoc, from a component, ecc...
