New and changed functionality

Improved API architecture

• Advanced assembly mates. See IAssemblyDoc::CreateMate, IAssemblyDoc::CreateMateData, IAngleMateFeatureData, IDistanceMateFeatureData, ILinearCouplerMateFeatureData, IMateFeatureData, IProfileCenterMateFeatureData, ISymmetricMateFeatureData, and IWidthMateFeatureData.

Thread features

• Support for internal and external threads. See IThreadFeatureData and Thread Features and ThreadFeatureData Objects.

Advanced Holes in parts

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) 3.0

• VSTA 3.0 upgrade requires Visual Studio 2015. Read How to Configure and Use Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) 3.0.

Context-Sensitive Help Viewer Help for .NET Macros

• Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015, and later all support Microsoft Help Viewer. When you install SOLIDWORKS 2018, SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS enumerator context-sensitive helps are registered and integrated with the Help Viewer of the Visual Studio installed on your machine. After installing SOLIDWORKS 2018, configure Visual Studio to launch Help Viewer F1 help by selecting Help >  Help Preference > Launch in Help Viewer. For details, read about Context-Sensitive SOLIDWORKS API Help.

SOLIDWORKS Accessor Diagrams

• Each interface help topic in this release of the SOLIDWORKS API help includes an accessor diagram. 
• Accessor diagrams quickly show you which interfaces either access or are accessed by an interface.
• Click the link in the Accessor Diagram section of any interface help topic. The topic interface's accessor diagram opens in a PDF reader. On the left side of the diagram are the interfaces whose methods or properties access the topic interface. On the right side of the diagram are the interfaces accessed by methods or properties in the topic interface.
• For detailed information about accessing a particular interface, inspect the Accessors section in that interface's help topic.
