Parameters

BodyName

Name of Costing body to activate or an empty string to activate the common Cost analysis for this Costing part (see Remarks)

Errors

Status as defined in swcActivateBodyResult_e

Return Value

To get the name of a Costing body for BodyName:

1. Get the Costing bodies in the Costing part by calling:

• ICostPart::GetBodies 
  - or - 
• ICostPost::GetBodyCount and ICostPart::IGetBodies.

2. Get the names of the Costing bodies in the Costing part by iterating through the array of returned Costing bodies and calling ICostBody::GetName.

Activating Costing bodies by their names allows you to use names directly from existing references to SOLIDWORKS bodies.

If you passed an empty string to BodyName, then Return Value is null and Errors is swcActivateBodyResult_e.swcActivateBodyResult_Success.
