See SOLIDWORKS API Help: Release Notes for late-breaking updates.
SOLIDWORKS® 2019 API includes the ability to:
- Access Bounding Box feature data.
- Access Ground Plane feature data.
- Access Tab and Slot feature data.
- Convert an existing balloon to a stacked balloon.
- Create a geodesic sketch offset along the curvature of a surface.
- Create a pattern feature with a smaller subset of parameters and then extend or
modify it using a pattern-specific feature data object.
- Create an assembly mate with a smaller subset of parameters and then extend or
modify it using a mate-specific feature data object.
- Get a component's suppression state or, if an internal ID mismatch exists, an error
code.
- Get an annotation's text scale in the 3D View.
- Get data from the Hole Wizard database.
- Get or set more properties on linear, linear component, and circular component
pattern features.
- Get or set more table column types, including the equation-driven type.
- Get or set the orientation of text in table cells.
- Get or set whether an angle or distance mate is a limit mate.
- Get or set whether to bidirectionally project a curve.
- Get or set whether to enable the pushpin of an add-in's callout.
- Get or set whether to enable the Select Identical Components
menu item in the context menu of a PropertyManager page selection box.
- Get or set whether to exclude a component from the bills of materials in specified
configurations.
- Get or set whether to generate a display list for a part's configuration.
- Get or set whether to load external references in memory when opening a
document.
- Get or set whether to reverse the direction of a specified reference of a reference
plane feature.
- Get the error status of an assembly mate.
- Insert a Delete Hole feature for selected hole edges on a surface.
- Insert, open, and update models developed in other CAD packages.
- Repeatedly detect collisions among groups of components in a variety of
transformations.
