Check Against Existing File Example (C#)

This example shows how to use the Design Checker API to check against an existing file.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Load the SolidWorks Design Checker add-in
//    (click Tools > Add-ins > SolidWorks Design Checker).
// 2. Open a part document.
// 3. Reference the SolidWorks Design Checker primary interop assembly
//    (in Project Explorer, right-click the project name, select
//     Add Reference, click the Browse tab, navigate to the
//     <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2 folder and
//     select SolidWorks.Interop.dsgnchk.dll).
// 4. Rename the namespace of this macro to match the name of your C# project.
// 5. Open an Immediate window.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Select Drawing (*.drw;*.slddrw)

//    and

// <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\advdrawings\FoodProcessor.slddrw

//    from the pop-up file dialog.
// 2. Check Builder launches and creates checks from the

//    selected drawing document.
// 3. Design Checker uses the checks to validate the active document

//    and posts its results on a tab in the SolidWorks Task Pane.
