This VBA macro generates a CSV report (which can be opened in Excel) containing the creation and last saved versions of SOLIDWORKS files in a specified folder.

This macro does not open each model individually, greatly reducing processing time.

You can configure the input and output parameters of the macro by modifying the following constants.

Const INPUT_FOLDER_PATH As String = "D:\MyModels" 'Full path to the folder containing SOLIDWORKS files
Const OUT_FILE_PATH As String = "D:\sw-file-versions.csv" 'Full path to the output CSV file for the report
Const FILES_FILTER As String = "*.sld*" 'File filter with wildcard support
Const INCLUDE_SUB_FOLDERS As Boolean = True 'True to process subfolders, False to only process top-level files

Const INPUT_FOLDER_PATH As String = "D:\MyModels"
Const OUT_FILE_PATH As String = "D:\sw-file-versions.csv"
Const FILES_FILTER As String = "*.sld*"
Const INCLUDE_SUB_FOLDERS As Boolean = True
