SOLIDWORKS C# API - Edit Solidworks Feature Sketch

1 minute read

Objective

I want to:

  • Edit Feature Sketch into Solidworks Part Document using Solidworks C# API

  • We will use same code from previous article 🚀 Edit Solidworks Sketch.

  • Extend article by adding Solidworks C# API to previous code.

Demo Video

Please see below video on how to “Edit Feature Sketch into Solidworks Part Document” using Solidworks C# API from WPF Application.


Please note that there are no explanation in the video.
Explanation of each step and why we write code this way is given in this post.

Update Method - SelectSketch

In this section, we update SelectSketch method for selecting Feature Sketch.

Please see below 👇🏻 image for sketch we want to edit.

feature-sketch-we-want-to-edit

For editing we need to update below 👇🏻 line.

bool isSelect = swDoc?.Extension.SelectByID2("Circle", "SKETCH", 0, 0, 0, false, 4, null, (int)swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault) ?? false;

In above code, we need to replace “Circle” with “Sketch2” value.

Please see below 👇🏻 image for value we required.

value-to-select

After updating SelectSketch method will look like below.

private bool SelectSketch()
{
    swDoc = null;
    swDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc;

    bool isSelect = swDoc?.Extension.SelectByID2("Sketch2", "SKETCH", 0, 0, 0, false, 4, null, (int)swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault) ?? false;

    return isSelect;
}

FINAL RESULT

For Demo, we already had feature whose sketch we want to edit with our program.

Please see below 👇🏻 image for reference.
