Introduction
This tutorial picks up from the Solidworks Kinematics Tutorial
Make a new drawing by selecting file->“create drawing from assembly”
Deselect the sheet format option
Drag in the top view of the assembly and hit enter. (I’m assuming you used the top view to create your original sketches)
download the macro found at https://github.com/popupcad/popupcad_solidworks_exporter/raw/master/swp/ExportDrawingFaces.swp.
Select the top view
Export the top view. Go to tools->macro->edit, and select “ExportDrawingFaces.swp”, found in the /swp directory of the downloaded macro project. Note: this will only work with Solidworks 2014, 64-bit. Otherwise you will have to re-create the macro project from the included source files. That will have to be the subject of a different tutorial
A code window should open. Select the run icon, and select run on the dialog that opens.
Select “Export Generic” and hit run to export the view to a .yaml file that your code can interpret.
