Task Scheduler and run API/macro

[Ktelang]

Hello Everybody and Autodesk,

Is there a way by which I can run a vba - macro over all the file in a folder using

Task scheduler,silently

Thanks

Defining yourself a custom Task Scheduler task is probably the way you want to go, if you are not afraid of some programming

You might want to read my support blog article where I use iLogic rules in a custom task in Task Scheduler.

The same mechanism (with some extra work) can be used for running macros via a custom task.

Not sure what you mean with "silently". You don't want to bring up Inventor API and use Apprentice API instead , or you want to run Inventor in silent mode? Both can be done depending on teh actiosn you want to perform on the files.

So far I am not afraid of programming not great at it though

but can do something which works for me Hope that stays that way.

I will look into the blog.

And yes Silent means in the background

Thanks

Have a look at KwikBatchRun here http://kwikmcad.com/icode/KWiKBatchRun_64/KWiKBatchrun_64.aspx

I use it and it works great. Only $20 USD per seat. No affiliation, just a happy user of the program.
