    3rd party data storage API

    Thanks. The question was more that the LoadFromStorageNotify event was being raised by Solidworks before I'd got the reference. It turns out that I need to grab the AssemblyDoc reference in the DocumentLoadNotify event... waiting for FileOpenNotify2 is too late. J

    3rd party data storage API

    Anyone know at what point to get a reference to an AssemblyDoc in time to get the LoadFromStorageNotify event? I don't seem to be getting that event when I get the reference during the FileOpenNotify event, nor at any time after? Thanks, Jake.

    API Fixed sub-components

    Ahh, thank-you. My help-files are clearly out of date, as those extra remarks are sadly missing. J

    API Fixed sub-components

    It appears that IsFixed returns true for any components of fixed subassemblies, even with Flexible Solving... ie though Solidworks allows you to move the sub-part, the API tells you that it's fixed! Anyone seen this and knows whether it's a bug and if there's a workaround? Thanks, J

    Anyone know how, using the API, to replicate the standard red highlighting of components etc when the mouse passes over them in the Design tree? If I could use GetBox within the context of a component part, that might work, but when called on a component it returns an bounding box within the...

    Flexible sub-assemblies

    Ouch, Sunday morning and I forgot to say "from the API"... But the keyword turned out to "Solving"... Many thanks.

    Flexible sub-assemblies

    I'm sure this has been covered here and I'm just not finding the right keywords... Is there a way to make sub-assemblies flexible? ie allow their constituent parts to move, while retaining the mates within them in the context of a larger assembly? Many thanks.
