Save Configuration Data Example (C#)
This example shows how to mark each configuration in a multi-configuration
model as needing to be rebuilt and how to save its configuration data, including
preview bitmaps, every time you save the model document.
//------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the specified file to open exists.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Activates each configuration in the model.
// 2. Sets each configuration's Rebuild/Save Mark to true, if it is false.
// 3. Saves each configuration's preview bitmap to disk.
// 4. Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTES:
// * In SOLIDWORKS 2013 and later, to mark each configuration
// as needing to be rebuilt and to save its configuration data
// every time you save the model:
// 1. Activate each configuration and set
// IConfiguration::AddRebuildSaveMark to true.
// 2. Save the model.
// * Because this model is used elsewhere, do not
// save changes.
