SOLIDWORKS API development made easy
xCAD.NET is a framework for building CAD agnostic applications. It allows developers to implement complex functionality with a very simple innovative approach. This brings the best user experience to the consumers of the software.
It has never been easier to create SOLIDWORKS add-ins with toolbar and menu commands.

public class MyAddIn : SwAddInEx
{
public enum Commands_e
{
Command1,
Command2
}
public override void OnConnect()
{
this.CommandManager.AddCommandGroup<Commands_e>().CommandClick += OnCommandsButtonClick;
}
private void OnCommandsButtonClick(Commands_e cmd)
{
//TODO: handle the button click
}
}Framework reinvents the way you work with Property Manager Pages. No need to code a complex code behind for adding the controls and handling the values. Simply define your data model and the framework will build the suitable Property Manager Page automatically and two-way bind controls to the data model.
public class MyPMPageData
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public int Number { get; set; }
public ISwComponent Component { get; set; }
}
private ISwPropertyManagerPage<MyPMPageData> m_Page;
private MyPMPageData m_Data = new MyPMPageData();
private enum Commands_e
{
ShowPmpPage
}
public override void OnConnect()
{
m_Page = this.CreatePage<MyPMPageData>();
m_Page.Closed += OnPageClosed;
this.CommandManager.AddCommandGroup<Commands_e>().CommandClick += ShowPmpPage;
}
private void ShowPmpPage(Commands_e cmd)
{
m_Page.Show(m_Data);
}
private void OnPageClosed(PageCloseReasons_e reason)
{
Debug.Print($"Text: {m_Data.Text}");
Debug.Print($"Number: {m_Data.Number}");
Debug.Print($"Selection component name: {m_Data.Component.Name}");
}Complex macro features became ease with xCAD.NET

public class BoxMacroFeature : SwMacroFeatureDefinition
{
public override CustomFeatureRebuildResult OnRebuild(ISwApplication app, ISwDocument model, ISwMacroFeature feature)
{
var body = app.MemoryGeometryBuilder.CreateSolidBox(new Point(0, 0, 0),
new Vector(1, 0, 0), new Vector(0, 1, 0),
0.1, 0.1, 0.1);
return new CustomFeatureBodyRebuildResult()
{
Bodies = body.Bodies.ToArray()
};
}
