I feel really stoopid!
In 2009, and apparently using Visual Studio 2003, I created a SolidWorks AddIn for SolidWorks 2009. This was no easy task considering we were x64 bit, however it worked. I subsequently migrated that AddIn to Visual Studio 2010. It's alive and well today and functions flawlessly.
What I want to do now is develop a 2nd AddIn. I thought this would be easy. I went to Visual Studio 2010, but was unable to locate the SolidWorks AddIn template. Installed the SolidWorks API SDK, but still couldn't see it.
Checked the SolidWorks 2009 API documentation and saw it apparently only works with .NET and .NET 2003?
Is there any way to get a SolidWorks VB.NET template in Visual Studio 2010?
Alternatively - can I simply take my existing AddIn, copy/rename the source folder, generate a GUID, and start from that? Will it really be divorced from the 1st AddIn if I do that?
This may be a question for API support however I thought I'd ask here first.
Thanks for any guidance.
p.s. - yes we are on 2009 and will be upgrading in April. Right now 2009 is what I have to work with.
