Re: Can I view or modify SolidWorks model in the homemade program?
Artem Taturevych Jun 15, 2016 7:21 PM (in response to JiuHeng Xi)Hi,
It depends what you want to modify.
What you can do without SolidWorks installed
- Modify metadata and file references via Document Manager API
- Display 3D model (custom viewer) via SolidWorks display lists or 2D previews
- Extract the parasolid bodies geometry via Document Manager (you might need to have a Parasolid license to do this)
- Access the data stored in 3rd party storage
- Read assembly and drawing components tree
What you can't do
- Read features tree information
- Change the parameters
- Change the geometry
Thanks,
Artem-

I remember to see a similar function in the API books, maybe I was wrong
