The SolidWorks Application Programming Interface (API) is a COM programming interface to the SolidWorks software. The API contains hundreds of functions that you can call from Visual Basic (VB), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), VB.NET, C++, C#, or SolidWorks macro files. These functions provide the programmer with direct access to SolidWorks functionality.
