Edrawings using API

[MaxbyMike]

Hello and Happy New Year,
I was wondering if any one know if you can control eDrawing 2.0 using API/VB programming. I want to write a program that open an eDrawing and saves it in .htm format. If eDrawings can’t do this, is there any other way I can make this happen.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

I don't believe that eDrawings has an API. I only have the free version, so the Professional Version may have that capability. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

Mike;
Did you ever find an API/VB for eDrawings ? I need to create HTML files in batch mode also.

SW homepage states that there is no API exposed from
eDrawings.

Yes I did and there is no suport aviable for API with eDrawings and PipingWorks as well. I talk to there UK API suport guy and no luck. Hopefully they will see the intrest with this and add it to one of their SW releases. I also want to use it to create HTML files.

Regards,
Mike

The problem could be handled by providing a means to 'saveas' html within Solidworks. Then the Solidworks API could be used to create a batch program. This would seem to be easier than providing an entire API for eDrawings.
