&   System.double Z,
&   [Out] System.Object^ CompInserted
)

Parameters

FileName
Full path name of the third-party native CAD file to insert
X
X-coordinate of the component center
Y
Y-coordinate of the component center
Z
Z-coordinate of the component center
CompInserted
IComponent2; null or Nothing if unsuccessful

Return Value

Error code as defined in sw3DInterconnectImportErrors_e

Remarks

To successfully use this method, you must first turn on 3D Interconnect by either:

  • Setting Tools > Options > System Options > Import > Enable 3D Interconnect

    - or -

To edit the imported assembly, save the SOLIDWORKS assembly and then use IFeature::GetImportedFeatureParameters and IFeature::SetImportedFeatureParameters.

See the IImport3DInterconnectData Remarks.

If 3D Interconnect is turned off, use IAssemblyDoc::AddComponent5 instead of this method.
