How do you add a TAB to the Feature Tree in SW?

How do you add a TAB to the Feature Tree in SW?

How do you add a TAB to the Feature Tree in SW?

(OP)
Has anyone here ever added a tab to the feature manager tree in SolidWorks?

I have done a reasonable amount of SWAPI programming and never really ran into adding tabs...

Is it possible with the SWAPI alone or do you need to be a cerified SW Partner and get special software to do so?

I assume it is not possible to do with VB (most likely VC++)

But I am a bit currious if it is possible for 'anyone' to be able to add a tab.

I have access to SW 2001+ and 2003.

I mainly use 2001+ at work and only use 2003 to teach night classes at a local TechCenter (VoTech)

Any links or info are appriciated.

Please post if you have similar request/needs and I will share anything I learn on this topic

Thanks,

RE: How do you add a TAB to the Feature Tree in SW?

I've gotten this from the help-files:

retval = ModelDoc2.AddFeatureMgrView2 ( bitmap, appView, toolTip)

But I hadn't had the time to try it yet. Please let me know the results
