int Add2(

&   bool Solve
) 

Parameters

Index

Index of the new equation (-1 places it at the end of the list)

Equation

String containing the equation

Solve

True to solve the equation immediately; false otherwise

Return Value

The string specified for the equation argument must be formatted as if entered in the SolidWorks user interface (that is, you must embed the names of the dimensions in double quotes). For example:

"N_SPOKES@CirPattern1" = "BARLENGTH@Sketch2" /10

You can also use the Visual Basic IIf function when specifying a model dimension in the equation argument. For example:

"D1@Extrude2" = (IIf("D1@Extrude3">20, 15, 6))+5

Setting the Solve argument to False delays evaluation of this equation, which enhances performance when there are many equations to solve. When Solve is set to false, the equation appears in the FeatureManager design tree only after calling IEquationaMgr::EvaluateAll or IModelDoc2::EditRebuild3.
