Open and Close Document Example (C++)

This examples shows how to instantiate a SOLIDWORKS Document Manager session, open an assembly, get its latest supported SOLIDWORKS version number, list its external references, and close it.

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely used stuff from Windows headers

#include <stdio.h>

#include <tchar.h>

#define _ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS //Some CString constructors will be explicit

#include <windows.h>
