SolidWorks API examples

Unread post by andrewj »

Does anyone know where the API examples have gone?
Have logged in the the SW support page and clicked API examples link, but it just wants me to keep logging in the the user group forums.
I can't seem to find it there.

Any suggestions?

I believe you are referring to the API example link from the customer support portal...

If i recall correctly, the link actually direct you to the old Solidworks forum...
My 2cent will be that the content was not migrated....just like all the other useful post...
Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed and foisted upon us with no understanding-or even care-for how we will use them.

Those links seems to be dead now. Not sure if someone has those available in the archive.

I think you are correct. I had lots of links to that and deleted them all. Most of the time the attachments were missing and the cherry on top was that the conversations were gone for all my links. So only the first post & the 'answer' (which was the second post) were visible.

Try the archive.org from 2021-02-11 2020-11-30 - it might help you find at least what you need.

Edit: Edited the link to guide you to the correct page from Nov 2020 though.

Answer I received from our reseller was this:-

I got the following response from solidworks support, can you please provide these details.
"Do you know what API example(s) the user needs? I can see if we have it and send it to them or you directly."

Seems to be another cost cutting measure by Dassault...

That may not be the official solidworks API examples, but it looks like a decent substitute.

I found a bit of info on the old web archive. Gotta love these crawlers.
