Run SolidWorks Design Checker Example (C#)

This example shows how to check the active document using the SolidWorks Design Checker API.

//--------------------------------------------

//

// Preconditions:

//  1. Load the SolidWorks Design Checker add-in

//     (click Tools > Add-ins > SolidWorks Design Checker).

//  2. Create c:\test if needed.

//  3. Create a SolidWorks Design Checker standards file using

//     the SolidWorks Design Checker tutorial

//     and save the standards file to c:\test (click

//     Tools > Design Checker > Build Checks > Design Checker

//     Tutorial to open the tutorial and perform the steps

//     through "Building the Design Requirements-2").

//  4. Reference the SolidWorks Design Checker primary interop assembly

//     (in the IDE, right-click the project name, select

//     Add Reference, click the Browse tab, navigate to the

//     <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist folder and

//     select SolidWorks.Interop.dsgnchk.dll).

//  5. Open the Immediate window.

//  6. Run the macro.

//

// Postconditions:

//  1. The Design Binder folder is shown in the FeatureManager design tree.

//  2. SolidWorks Design Checker checks the active

//     model document as per the standards file, adds the

//     Post-Correction Result.drp and Pre-Correction Result.drp

//     reports to the Design Binder and the SWCDReport.xml reports to the

//     c:\test\Food Processor_mm_dd_yyyy_hr_min\Post-Correction Result and

//     c:\test\Food Processor_mm_dd_yyyy_hr_min\Pre-Correction Result folders.

//  3. To verify that these reports were added

//     to the Design Binder, examine the Design Binder in the

//     FeatureManager design tree. To verify that the folder and reports

//     were created, examine c:\test.

//

// NOTE: Because this drawing document is used by a SolidWorks

// tutorial, do not save any changes when closing the

// document.
