Get Minimum Bend Radii of Wires Example (C#)

This example shows how to get:

  • minimum bend radius for the bundle of wires in each route segment,
  • minimum bend radius for each route segment, and
  • types of routes.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Add SolidWorks Routing as an add-in
//   (in SolidWorks select Tools > Add-Ins > SolidWorks Routing).
// 2. Add Solidworks.interop.SwRoutingLib.dll as a reference 
//   (in the IDE right-click the project, 
//    select Add Reference, and browse install_dir\api\redist\CLR2).
// 3. Open install_dir\samples\tutorial\api\RoutingAssem1.sldasm.
// 4. Open the Immediate window.
// 5. Run the macro.
//
// Postconditions: Examine the Immediate window.
//
// NOTE: Because the assembly document is used elsewhere, do not save
// any changes when closing it.
