AIM OF THE PROJECT

• To develop Interfacing tools in Solidworks using
  Visual basic and to make the software more
  user-friendly.

4
OBJECTIVE

• There are some discrepancies faced while working
  with Solid works.
• The objective is to overcome the hurdles and
  rectify the uneasiness in working with Solid
  works and take advantages of potential time
  saving that automation provides.

5
REASON FOR CHOOSING THE PROJECT

• To automate the Solidworks workflow.
• To create our own commands in Solidworks which
  will perform the activities required by us and
  make the software more user friendly.

6
Programming Interfacing tools

• Programming interfacing tools (API), are used to
  automate and customize the SolidWorks software.
• API is a set of routines, protocols and tools for
  building software applications.
• API contains hundreds of functions which provides
  direct access to the Solidworks functionality.

7
METHODOLOGY

• First phase is to identify the uneasiness in
  Solid Works, which is done by practicing with
  Solid Works.
• Second phase is to generate corresponding codes
  in Visual Basic
• Finally icons corresponding generated coding is
  to be created in Solidworks.

8
PROJECT NARRATIVE

• We have found list of difficulties such as
• Distance between the parts in assembly view.
• Transparent view of assembled components.
• Part file location and specification in a
  drawing.
• Conversion of units of dimension.
• Chamfer dimensions in drawing document.
