SetEquationAndConfigurationOption Method (IEquationMgr)

Modifies the equation at the specified index for the specified configurations.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function SetEquationAndConfigurationOption( _
   ByVal Index As System.Integer, _
   ByVal Equation As System.String, _
   ByVal WhichConfigurations As System.Integer, _
   ByVal ConfigNames As System.Object _
) As System.Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IEquationMgr
Dim Index As System.Integer
Dim Equation As System.String
Dim WhichConfigurations As System.Integer
Dim ConfigNames As System.Object
Dim value As System.Integer
 
value = instance.SetEquationAndConfigurationOption(Index, Equation, WhichConfigurations, ConfigNames)
C# 
System.int SetEquationAndConfigurationOption( 
   System.int Index,
   System.string Equation,
   System.int WhichConfigurations,
   System.object ConfigNames
)
C++/CLI 
System.int SetEquationAndConfigurationOption( 
&   System.int Index,
&   System.String^ Equation,
&   System.int WhichConfigurations,
&   System.Object^ ConfigNames
) 

Parameters

Index
Index of the equation to modify
Equation
String containing the modified equation (see Remarks)
WhichConfigurations
Configuration option as defined in swInConfigurationOpts_e
ConfigNames
Array of the names of the configurations to which to add this equation; valid only if WhichConfigurations is set to swInConfigurationOpts_e.swSpecifyConfiguration, in which case, include the name of the current configuration in this array

Return Value

Index of equation if successfully modified, -1 if error

Example

Remarks

This method modifies only equations added using IEquationMgr::Add3.

 

To add an equation using the SolidWorks user interface, you must embed the names of dimensions and global variables in double quotes: 

  

    • Global variable assignment:
      "B" = 2    
    • Component equation:
      "N_SPOKES@CirPattern" = "BARLENGTH@Sketch2" /10 
    • Dimension equation that uses the Visual Basic IIf function:
      "D1@Extrude2" = (IIf("D1@Extrude3">20, 15, 6))+5
    • Dimension equation that sets a dimension to the current value:
      "D1@Extrude2" =  
    • Dimension equation that modifies the right-hand side of an already existing dimension equation:
      "D1@Extrude2" = 0.05

NOTE: To modify an equation using this method, you must specify Equation with the names of dimensions and global variables in double double quotes and the entire equation in double quotes. See the Examples.

Global variables cannot be set to current values using this method.
