adding components w/ api
i am inserting components w/ the api but would have one problem - i would like the user to be put in the same same mode as when they insert from solidworks (not using api) - they get the component "attached" to the mouse and can drag around(no button pushed) and when located then click the mouse and it will be put in that location. if i do this and record the macro it gives me addcomponent (which is obsolete now) call w/ final coordinates - simply the result of where it got placed. is there any way i can have the user put in this mouse "attached" mode and have them locate the component for insertion? - perhaps w/ sw_commands? thanks in advance ... scott
a little more info - solidworks seems to be in filedrop mode which i am calling "attached" - you can can various filedrop events - i think i would like to call it - is that something i can do - call filedrop ?
my code:
m_objiswapp.documentvisible(false, intdoctype);
m_objiswapp.opendocsilent(strcomponentpath, intdoctype, ref intwarnings);
m_objiswapp.documentvisible(true, intdoctype);
m_dblinsertionindex++;
sldworks.component2 objcomponent;
objcomponent = objassemblydoc.addcomponent4(strcomponentpath, "", m_dblinsertionindex, m_dblinsertionindex, m_dblinsertionindex);
sldworks.modeldoc2 swmodel;
swmodel = (sldworks.modeldoc2)m_objiswapp.activedoc;
sldworks.imodeldocextension objimodeldocextension;
objimodeldocextension = swmodel.extension;
