Application Programming Interface

The SolidWorks eDrawings Application Programming Interface (API) is an OLE programming interface to SolidWorks eDrawings and is implemented as a Microsoft ActiveX control. You can use the eDrawings API to customize the eDrawings Viewer, create interactive web pages, and translate files. The API contains functions that you can call from Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), VB.NET, C++, and C#. These functions provide direct access to the eDrawings environment.

To download the eDrawings API SDK, go to www.edrawingsviewer.com/pages/support/APISupport.html.
