I am trying to change each view in a SolidWorks drawing to "Use sheet
scale" instead of "Use custom scale" This code will do that, but after
changing the property, the view is not updated. I can click on the
view, and see that the "Use sheet scale" is selected. The view does
not updated until I actually click on that button. I looked in
SolidWorks API help, and it said to call Model.EditRebuild3() to
rebuild the view, but it does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

Sub main()
Dim SwApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim Model As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swView As SldWorks.View

Set SwApp = Application.SldWorks
Set Model = SwApp.ActiveDoc

Set swView = Model.GetFirstView

Do While Not swView Is Nothing

Set swView = swView.GetNextView

swView.UseSheetScale = UseSheetScale

retval = Model.EditRebuild3()

Set swView = swView.GetNextView

Loop

End Sub
