Set Tolerances and Compare Geometry (C#)

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// This example shows how to set the tolerances and then compare the volume and geometry

// of two versions of the same part and save the volume comparison results as a solid part

// using the SOLIDWORKS Utilities API.

//

// Preconditions:

//

// 1. Add the SOLIDWORKS Utilities as an add-in

//    (in SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Add-Ins > SOLIDWORKS Utilities).

// 2. Add the SOLIDWORKS Utilities interop assembly as a reference

//    (right-click on the project in Project Explorer, Add Reference,

//     Browse to <SOLIDWORKS_install_dir>\api\redist\CLR2,

//     select Solidworks.Interop.gtswutilities.dll).

// 3. The specified files exist.

// 4. C:\test\ exists.

// 5. Change the namespace of this example to <Your_project_name>.csproj.

//

// Postconditions:

//

// 1. Geometry comparison report, C:\test\Report\gtReportIndex.htm, is created.

// 2. Position and angular tolerance statuses display in the Immediate Window.

// 3. Face and volume comparison statuses display in the Immediate Window.

// 4. Volume comparison part, C:\test\volumeComparison.sldprt, is created.

//

// NOTE: Do not save the parts as they are used in a SOLIDWORKS tutorial.
