Write Parasolid Partition Stream to File Example (C#)

This example shows how to write a Parasolid partition stream to a file for a part or assembly using the SolidWorks Document Manager API.

 
NOTE: To get the name of the stream and a preview bitmap of the sheet active when the drawing was last saved, use ISwDMDocument10::GetPreviewBitmap and ISwDMDocument10::PreviewStreamName. To get the name of the streams and the preview bitmaps for all sheets in a drawing, use ISwDMSheet2::GetPreviewPNGBitmap and
ISwDMSheet2::PreviewPNGStreamName.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Read the SolidWorks Document Manager API Getting Started
//    topic and ensure that the required DLLs have been registered.
// 2. Copy and paste this module into a C# console application
//    in Microsoft Visual Studio.
// 3. Ensure that the specified part exists (or point to
//    another part or assembly).
// 4. Add the SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll reference
//    to the project:
//    a. Right-click the solution in Solution Explorer.
//    b. Select Add Reference.
//    c. Click the Browse tab.
//    d. Load:
//  <SolidWorks_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2\SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll
// 5. Add the following references to the project:
//    System.Drawing.dll, stdole.dll,
//    and Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.dll.
// 6. Substitute <your_license_code> with your SolidWorks
//    Document Manager license key.
// 7. Compile and run this program in Debug mode.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Output Window and the code
// to see how the API is used.
