Calculate Environmental Impact of Part (C#)
This example shows how to calculate the environmental impact of a part.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Add the SolidWorks Sustainability primary interop assembly as
// a reference (in the IDE's Project Explorer, right-click
// the project name, select Add Reference, click the Browse
tab,
// navigate to the install_dir\api\redist\CLR2 folder and
// select SolidWorks.Interop.sustainability.dll).
// 2. Open:
// install_dir\samples\tutorial\api\ZZM7005 End Plate.sldprt
// 3. Open an Immediate window.
// 4. Run to the breakpoint and wait for the environmental impact results to
// finish updating in the Sustainability Task Pane.
// 5. Press F5 to finish.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes when closing it.
