Can I view or modify SolidWorks model in the homemade program?

No.

Sure. It looks like that will work.

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

You can use a third party API to read or write SOLIDWORKS data in your program.
