SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM is
a project-data management application designed to run both natively
inside of the SOLIDWORKS environment and as a standalone application.
The SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Application Programming Interface (API) is
an OLE programming interface to SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM, which allows
you to automate and customize SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM. The API
contains functions that you can call from VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI. These
functions provide direct access to the SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM
environment. It is assumed that you are familiar with at least one of
these programming languages.
This online reference manual documents the interfaces available in
the SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM API, including their structures, methods,
properties, and enumerations.
