Return Value

Name of this component

This property returns a name that includes an instance number. For example:

Part1-1

indicates that this is the first instance of the Part1 Component2. If you are examining a component that is within a subassembly, then this property returns a name that includes the full hierarchical path of component names. For example:

subAssem1-2/Part1-1

indicates that this component (Part1) is the first instance within the subAssem1 Component2. It also shows that the second instance of subAssem1 is referenced.

If you are setting the name of a component:

• Before executing a name change, this property checks the swExtRefUpdateCompNames setting. If swExtRefUpdateCompNames is true, then the name change fails; if swExtRefUpdateCompNames is false, then the name change succeeds. Use ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceToggle to change the swExtRefUpdateCompNames setting. Also, remember that some special characters are reserved by SolidWorks, so be sure to use valid characters in the new name.
• The component must be selected.
