Example

Remarks

Some file types, such as files from AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, MS Word, etc., contain references to other files. You can also set up your own references via SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional's User Defined File References dialog box. SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional manages all of these references for you, and they appear in the check-in dialog box in the form of a reference tree.

To specify lParentFolderID, inspect all of the parent folders of this file by calling IEdmFile5::GetFirstFolderPosition and IEdmFile5::GetNextFolder.

Use IEdmReference5 that is returned in ppoRetRoot to enumerate referenced files and referencing files and set up user-defined references.

C++ programmers not using smart-pointer wrapper functions must release the returned interface, IEdmReference5.

Return codes:

  • S_OK: The method successfully executed.
  • S_FALSE: An argument is invalid.
