Hello Forum,
I am following the example to mate a part with an assembly. 2017 SOLIDWORKS API Help - Add and Mate Component Example (VB.NET)
My question is about the flowing two lines...
boolstat = swDocExt.SelectByID2(FirstSelection, "PLANE", 0, 0, 0, True, 1, Nothing, swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault)
boolstat = swDocExt.SelectByID2(SecondSelection, "PLANE", 0, 0, 0, True, 1, Nothing, swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault)
The FirstSelection and SecondSelection are defined as Strings. boolstat is Boolean.
Because I have a selection command in UserPMPage.vb. so I want to use the selected object directly. Thus I rewrite the codes as follows...
Dim FirstSelectedObject as Object
FirstSelectedObject = swSelectionManager.GetSelectedObject6(1, -1) 'Get the selection from the user PMPage selection controll
boolstat = swDocExt.SelectByID2(SecondSelection, "PLANE", 0, 0, 0, True, 1, Nothing, swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault)
...And then run the AddMate5.
I could tell you that my code does not work, sadly. The difference between my code and example is mainly on the GetSelectedObject6. I have tried a lot of ways, but just could not get the correct method... Although I dont think the selection method is wrong, because sometimes we need to do so on SolidWorks.
Could somebody please give me some hints? Thank you in advance!
