Complete Code Example Available on GitHub:https://github.com/BlueByteSystemsInc/SW_API_Tips_Tricks/tree/master/ReportProgress When working with the SOLIDWORKS API, it’s common to encounter operations that take significant time—such as traversing large
SOLIDWORKS PDM handles file renaming operations extremely well, thanks to its robust reference-tracking system and intelligent internal mapping of file relationships. However, large-scale renaming projects
When making numerous calls to the same operation in SOLIDWORKS PDM, the batch interfaces (e.g., IEdmBatchAdd2, IEdmBatchChangeState5) are designed to maximize efficiency and performance. Here’s
When developing automation tools or add-ins for SOLIDWORKS PDM, one of the most common mistakes I see is relying on file paths or names to
When developing SOLIDWORKS macros and add-ins, performance optimization is crucial. Slow execution times can frustrate users and reduce productivity, especially when automating complex operations. Fortunately,
When writing an add-in for SOLIDWORKS PDM, it is essential to consider compatibility across different versions of the software. Some API calls introduced in newer
