- SOLIDWORKS API for the Total Beginner
This video features guest contributor Keith Rice from CADSharp.com. This 6-part video tutorial series takes users from the most basic Macro Recorder that anyone can use to record clicks and actions, through building a custom macro from scratch. He introduces three pillars or skills that are required to create and operate these macros at a high level: Programming using VBA, Using API Help, Understanding the SOLIDWORKS API Object Model. If you need help with an API project for your SOLIDWORKS or PDM environment, contact MLC CAD Systems today to see what options are best for you.

I had such a hard time learning MATLAB in college and I really appreciate you going over things & giving helpful information. It's so useful to be able to backtrack & take notes if I need to.
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for the feedback!
Really helpful for beginner like me! Thank you!
Great! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for the video ! Perfect explanation ! I would like to know how to extract X Y Z coordiantes of a part using SWKS API ?
Good luck! The API is very powerful but requires a lot of time to discover which commands to use and how to combine them to solve problems. Let us know if you would like us to quote a project to build something for you 😀
Much useful, Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
These video series are what I have been searching for for a long time. Thx!
Glad you like them!
do you have a command for taking screenshot of the whole screen? I'm looking to export a pdf of a full screenshot with properties included
I would first try it using Macro recorder to see if it captures the command. I think you can do File > Save As or View > Screen Capture > Image Capture, but you'll have to do some testing to see if those will give you the end result you needed.
@@MLCCADSystems awesome! I didn't think of that. That's the only part I'm missing!
Thanks a lot.
Glad to help!
really useful ！ thanks！
Glad it was helpful!
Video refers to solidworks 2013, is the interface still same for 2017, 2018 and later versions
Yes, there are only very minor differences in the interface and the overall approach is identical. Very much like learning to design in 3D, the basics of learning how to code do not change much over time, but this is only an introduction.
How can I get the solid part file?
Any solid part file will work, it isn't specific to this part file. The only thing that changes is the name of the dimension.
