Set and Let Properties in SOLIDWORKS API

Because the propput attribute is used for the propputref attribute in the SOLIDWORKS API Interface Definition Language (IDL) file, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Let properties are labeled as Set properties in the SOLIDWORKS API Help file.

For example, IModelView::Translation3 is documented as:

Syntax (OLE Automation)

VectorObj = ModelView.Translation3 'VBA Get property

ModelView.Translation3 = VectorObj 'VBA Set property

Although the topic says that it is a VBA Set property, it is actually a VBA Let property holding an object reference. Using VBA Set property syntax for this property would cause a compiler error in VBA and VBA. Instead, omit Set to treat the statement as a Let property.

Incorrect: Set myModelView.Translation = aVector

Correct: myModelView.Translation = aVector
