API Call: Set Path for Ref Docs?

API Call: Set Path for Ref Docs?

API Call: Set Path for Ref Docs?

(OP)
I'm wondering if all you API Gurus know if there is an API call that will set the path for Reference Documents?

Before you get too deep, I'm posting this on behalf of our IT Dept.  They are experimenting with something, and they programmer knows VB, just not SW API.  I'm completely clueless.

RE: API Call: Set Path for Ref Docs?

No problem. This is in a macro, but can be called from VB.

Option Explicit

Const swFileLocationsDocuments = 1
Dim swApp As Object

Sub main()
    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    Call swApp.SetUserPreferenceStringValue(swFileLocationsDocuments, "C:\TEST")
End Sub
