Import a From-to List Example (VB.NET)
This example shows how to import a from-to connection list.
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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. In Tools > Options > System Options > Routing > Routing File
Locations,
'
add locations of your SolidWorks Routing files.
' 4. Open:
' install_dir\samples\tutorial\routing\electrical\top_assy.sldasm.
' 5. Ensure that the specified files exist.
' 6. Open an Immediate Window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Position the components in the harness by clicking the housing wall
' five (5) times. If at any time the mate
toolbar displays,
' click the green checkmark to continue.
' 2. Click Yes in the message box.
' 3. Click the green checkmark in the Route Properties PropertyManager
page
' to accept
the defaults.
' Guidelines display in the electronic
housing.
' The Auto Route PropertyManager page displays.
' 4. Click the green checkmark to accept the
defaults.
' 5. Stop editing the route.
' 6. Stop editing the assembly.
' 7. Harness_1-top_assy appears in the FeatureManager design tree.
'
' NOTE: Because the assembly is used elsewhere,
'
do not save
any changes when you close it.
