newbee question on adding components w/ sw api
hello - i am new to developing in sw api but have worked w/ acad and others. i am trying to provide a dialog via an sw add-in w/ a listing of sw components that the user can pick to insert into the assembly. i can do the insert using the very rough code below, but end up w/ the component at a fixed location that i set in addcomponet4 - ideally i would want my dialog to hide or disappear after the user selects the component and then show sw w/ the component anchored to the mouse, allowing the user to select the location. is there a way to do this? i have tried selecting the component after it has been inserted, and that is not working. any help would be great - thanks in advance! scott
m_objiswapp.documentvisible(false, intdoctype);
m_objiswapp.opendocsilent(strfilepath, intdoctype, ref intwarnings);
m_objiswapp.activatedoc2("assem1",true, ref interrors);
sldworks.iassemblydoc objassemblydoc;
objassemblydoc = (sldworks.iassemblydoc)m_objiswapp.activedoc;
m_objiswapp.documentvisible(true, intdoctype);
sldworks.component2 swcomponent;
swcomponent = objassemblydoc.addcomponent4(strfilepath, "", -1, -1, -1);
