Macro to save all opened documents silently using SOLIDWORKS API

This VBA macro allows to save all documents currently opened and modified in SOLIDWORKS silently using SOLIDWORKS API. Unlike default save as command where the various warning messages can be displayed while saving the files this macro will save documents without showing any popup messages.

Macro can be configured to either display the error (in case some of the files were not saved properly) or to keep it silent.

Const SHOW_ERROR As Boolean = False 'True to show message box in case of an error, False to keep it silent

The result of the operation is displayed in the status bar.

This macro can be used as a part of background integration where modal dialogs should not be displayed.

Const SHOW_ERROR As Boolean = False
