Description
The SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Application Programming Interface (API) is a programming interface to SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, which allows you to automate and customize SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional. The API contains functions that you can call from Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). These functions provide direct access to the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional environment.
This course will teach you how to write a SOLIDWORKS PDM Add-in in C#. It will teach you how to create a visual studio project fit for developing PDM add-ins, how to set the references and the properties of the project correctly. It will teach how to implement the IEmAddIn5 interface in detail (GetAddInInfo and OnCmd methods), how to add the add-in into the vault and how to debug the add-in using the Visual Studio debugger.
This course should be used as a guide on how to write add-ins. It does not provide details on most API calls as that is not the focus of the course. To get acquainted with a more basic course, please see our SOLIDWORKS PDM API for absolute beginners course in VBA.
It requires that you have a decent knowledge of C# and have access to a SOLIDWORKS PDM professional vault and Visual Studio.
The knowledge acquired on this course can be utilized to automate your SOLIDWORKS PDM vault by developing PDM add-ins.
