API presentation ideas
API presentation ideas
(OP)
I just got an email about a call for papers for a regional SW users conference scheduled for this fall. I gave one recently about an advanced API topic (creating addins with VB) at another conference. (Presentation text available at <http://www.esoxrepublic.com/devtools/>)
I would like to hear from anyone who has an idea for an intermediate to advanced level SW API presentation. I have some ideas of my own (asynchronous processes, creating ActiveX objects), but I want to know what other people are interested in seeing.
Thanks in advance...

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.

The BOM’s looks like it might be a hot topic.
I am almost sure that one day we will not be able to use the MS Excel BOM anymore. Would it be possible to write an API that would give users full control over the SolidWorks BOM? Similar to what a user can do using the Excel formulas.

RE: API presentation ideas
But I think that SW should manage to create BOMs as a separete document and not as a part of the drawing (that is, it should be possible to configure both ways). I've seen more companies using BOMs as a separete document than those using as part of the drawing.
Bradley: what do you mean by "I am almost sure that one day we will not be able to use the MS Excel BOM anymore"?
RE: API presentation ideas
SolidWorks is no longer supporting the MS Excel BOM now. They are letting us use it, but not supporting it. The next step would be to take it out all together.

They only decided at the last minute to leave the Excel table available until their own table could handle the same funtionality.
