Export SOLIDWORKS files to foreign formats via Macro+ framework

Macro+ Framework This is a Macro+ enabled VBA macro. Paste the code into a new macro and add the reference to Xarial.CadPlus.MacroPlus.tlb (Macro+ COM API for CAD+ Toolset for SOLIDWORKS) type library from the installation folder of CAD+ Toolset
This macro supports arguments, logs and outputs results. It can be used in Toolbar+, Batch+ Stand-Alone+, Batch+ Integrated and Batch+ for SOLIDWORKS PDM

This VBA macro is Macro+ enabled macro that allows exporting file as to foreign format (e.g. PDF, DWG, STEP, IGES, Parasolid etc.).

Each argument of the macro should specify the output file path and the extension of the exported file.

If specified path is relative than the file will be exported relatively to the input file.

Macro will automatically created directories if needed.
