more solidworks instance from program
hi!
i would like to get two (or more) sw instance from c++ api and com.
if i run sw manually the first instance a sldwrks.exe in the xp task-manager process list. and i run the second instance of sw the xp task-manager contain a second sldwrks.exe. this processes are separately run.
i would like the same one from a program to do.
i like run (c++) two or more sw api instance with difference com pointers.
if this works from the sw application user interface has to work from api-call, or not?
somebody can help, how it is possible to make this?
thanks and regard:
zszs.
just call createobject twice
thanks, but i use c++ and com.
the createobject() call is a vb programming technique, or not?
if i call cocreateinstance() twice, i get identical sw application pointer.
(except... if i start the cocreateinstance() on separate threads... but this is not good: i have one sldworks.exe not two. the pointers attach to identical sw instance. the second pointer waiting until working the first... i like they working paralel.)
regard:
zszs.

i believe you can use the com ptr class in c++ to use createinstance?
currently i'm using the "standard" c++ method to connecting sw:
ccomptr swapp;
coinitialize(null));
swapp.cocreateinstance(__uuidof(sldworks), null, clsctx_local_server);
i don't understand your example, can you help me, i how use it by sw?
thank,
zszs.
