SOLIDWORKS

Get Sheet IDs Example (C#)

This example shows how to get the IDs of drawing sheets.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Read the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager API Help
//    Getting Started topic and ensure that the required DLLs
//    have been registered.
// 2. Open SOLIDWORKS and copy the code below to a C# macro.
// 3. Convert the drawing document specified in sDocFileName
//    to the latest supported version by opening and saving it
//    to another name in SOLIDWORKS.
//
//    NOTE: Because this document is used elsewhere, do not
//    save any changes when closing it.
//
// 4. Ensure that the latest SolidWorks.Interop.swdocumentmgr.dll
//    interop assembly is loaded in the project.
//    (Right-click the project in Project Explorer,
//    click Add Reference, click the interop assembly in
//    the .NET tab, or browse for the DLL in
//    install_dir\api\redist\CLR2 directory).
// 5. Substitute your license key for your_license_key
//    in the code.
//
// Postconditions: Inspect the Immediate Window for the sheet IDs.
