How bad are solidworks parameters?

I would suggest using any Unix system to make a script that uses the parameters you seek and then builds the text file Solidworks requires. Yet unless you already use Linux or have virtualization setup already (best way is via VirtualBox in 'seamless mode'), then perhaps it's not the best way for you. It's how I generate some of my text files for Windows software development across platforms at work.

Why do you need a Unix system? Python, and most other scripting languages, run just fine on most operating systems.

Heck, if you have excel you can have it generate the file for you if you REALLY feel ambitious.
