SolidWorks 2014 API SDK 22.10

SolidWorks 2014 API SDK by SolidWorks Corporation is a developer toolkit for automating, customizing, and extending SOLIDWORKS 2014. It exposes a comprehensive, COM-based object model and .NET interop assemblies that let you create macros and full add-ins in VBA, C#, VB.NET, or C++. With it, you can streamline repetitive CAD tasks, build custom features and user interfaces, and integrate SOLIDWORKS with external systems.

Key capabilities:

• Programmatic access to parts, assemblies, and drawings: create and edit features, mates, configurations, views, and BOMs.
• Event handling and UI customization: add Task Pane tabs, PropertyManager pages, menus, and toolbars.
• Batch operations and data exchange: manage custom properties, traverse feature trees, measure geometry, and export/import files.
• Macro development and prototyping: record and edit VBA macros; translate patterns into robust add-ins.
• Documentation and samples: API help, code examples, and project templates to jump-start development.

What’s included:

• Type libraries and .NET Primary Interop Assemblies for SOLIDWORKS 2014.
• Sample projects for VBA, C#, VB.NET, and C++.
• Developer documentation, object model references, and wizards/templates for add-ins.

Typical use cases:

• Automating drawing creation and revision updates.
• Generating complex, rule-driven geometry.
• Extracting and synchronizing BOMs and metadata with PLM/ERP.
• Enforcing modeling standards via custom checks and tools.

Requirements:

• SOLIDWORKS 2014 installed on Windows.
• A supported Microsoft development environment and familiarity with COM/.NET programming.

Note: This SDK targets SOLIDWORKS 2014; APIs and binaries are version-specific. Ensure your add-ins are built and tested against the 2014 release to maintain compatibility.
