Newer Version in C#

[dakuhn]

Hi Aeroanion,

thanks for providing the OBJ Exporter on Git.
On the SolidWorks forum, Daniel McRae converted the macro to C#.

Maybe it makes sense to replace the macro with the C# version. Also working together on Git is easier than with SWP macros. Simply contact Daniel McRae. I think this could be an advantage for all users.
Greetings and thanks for your efforts!

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for bringing this up, you raise an excellent question. Let me mention a couple things so that you and whoever reads this understands the motivation behind this repo.

There are two reasons I put this here:
First, I needed a specific feature added to the macro, which I have added enough for my use. I haven't had enough time lately, but I am going to make a release version 2.1 that includes this feature.
Second, I wanted to use this as an excuse to better learn GitHub. Maybe others would benefit from my addition or contribute as well, so it is a public repo.

If Daniel McRae wants to add the C# macro to this repo I would be happy to try to accommodate, but I figure he would want to do that in his own repo maybe? Either way I am happy to help in the future. If he does decide to put it on GitHub, I would gladly contribute to it.

Thank you,
~A

Hi Aeroanion,

thank you very much for your answer.
Okay, I say we see how Daniel McRae reacts.
It might also be possible to make two repositories, one for the SWP macro and one for the C# macro.

Greetings
Daniel

@Aeroanion Hows the current state here I still like and use this addon, is there a plan for 2.2?

Unfortunately, I lost my access to Solidworks and can no longer pursue further improvements.

Could you please write an Update to the "Free SolidWorks OBJ Exporter v2.0" Community? May you could ask for someone that take over this repo?
