Is there a macro out there that...

Is there a macro or small program out there that when I close any part or
assembly it sets the view to diametric and zooms out to encompass the whole
part or assembly in the window? Also for drawings to zoom out to encompass
the whole sheet?
The guys I am working with are killing me.... Doesn't seem like a hard thing
to do, but they cannot seem to do it. Would be nice if SW can make up for
the shortcomings.

You could probably develop this macro yourself using the macro
recorder. The macro recorder isn't great but it should be able to
record the macro for this simple task. There is information in the
help files on how it works. One suggestion. When you're recording the
macro start with setting your view (it should zoom to fit the screen
automatically when you select the diametric view) and then save and
close the file.

When you run the macro it should do those 3 steps in that order in
which case the macro will actually shut down the file.

 

The easiest way I can think of to do your task is to create a macro
that does what you want plus closes the active part or assembly. That
would only take a few minutes to write. Install the macro to all users
macro toolbar and make them use it for closing the file in place of
other methods.
If you need help, let me know.
