Create a Flattened Route Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to create an annotation type flattened route and its drawing.


'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Add SOLIDWORKS Routing as an add-in

'  
(in SOLIDWORKS select Tools > Add-Ins > SOLIDWORKS Routing).
' 2. Add SOLIDWORKS.interop.SwRoutingLib.dll as a reference

'  
(in the IDE right-click the project,
'   
select Add Reference, and browse install_dir\api\redist).
' 3. In Tools > Options > System Options > Routing > Routing File Locations,

'   
add locations of your SOLIDWORKS Routing files.
' 4. Open public_documents\samples\tutorial\api\5connector.sldasm.
' 5. Ensure that the specified templates exist.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. FeatureManager design tree shows AnnotateFlattenedRoute1 and hides Route1.
' 2. Sheet1 of 5connector.SLDDRW has the a2 - landscape format and contains:
'    * drawing view
'    * five electrical connector tables
'    * circuit-summary table
'    * electrical BOM table.
'
' NOTE:  Because this assembly is used elsewhere,

'
do not save any changes to it.
