Microsoft C++ 6.0 and Microsoft C++/CLI |
In the precompiled header file, include:
#import "path_and_filename"
for each SOLIDWORKS type library that you are referencing. Path and
filenames for each SOLIDWORKS type library are:
disk:\install_dir\sldworks.tlb
disk:\install_dir\swconst.tlb |

If you recorded a SOLIDWORKS macro, the SOLIDWORKS type libraries are
automatically referenced.

In an open project in VBA, click Tools,

User-specified Type Libraries
You can also add and remove references to user-specified type libraries.
A user-specified type library first appears on
the list of available references only after adding it and only after recording
a macro.
User-specified type library references are not
persistent across SOLIDWORKS sessions.
Only macros created after adding a user-specified
type library reference can reference that type library.
See these topics for details about adding and removing references to
user-specified type libraries:
