Fire Notification When Publishing Part to MBD 3D PDF Example (C#)
This example shows how to fire a notification when publishing a part document
to SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that:
// * specified part,
// * SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF theme, and
// * c:\temp exist.
// 2. Open the Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the specified part.
// 2. Gets the MBD3DPdfData object.
// 3. Sets the path and file name for the SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
// 4. Sets the theme for the SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
// 5. Sets standard views for the SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
// 6. Publishes the part document to SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
// 7. Displays a message saying that the part document
// was published to SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDF.
// 8. Click OK to close the message box.
// 9. Examine the Immediate window and c:\temp\MBDPart1.PDF.
//
// NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not save changes.
