Hello;
I would like to modify the properties of my Solidworks projects with Excel, for this I thought of using the Solidworks " Document manager " API.
So I adapted an existing code in order to be able to use it but unfortunately, I have an error on a function of the " SolidWorks document manager " library for which I can't find a solution.
" An ActiveX component cannot create an object "
The position in question:
Set swDmDoc = swDmApp.GetDocument(path, docType, readOnly, openDocErr)
With SwDmDoc = Nothing
here is the code (PS: the code needs a personal license key that I can't show you)
Const SW_DM_KEY As String = "Clé perso"
Sub main()
End Sub
Function ConnectToDm() As SwDocumentMgr.SwDMApplication
Dim swDmClassFactory As SwDocumentMgr.swDmClassFactory
Dim swDmApp As SwDocumentMgr.SwDMApplication
Set swDmClassFactory = CreateObject("SwDocumentMgr.SwDMClassFactory")
If Not swDmClassFactory Is Nothing Then
Set swDmApp = swDmClassFactory.GetApplication(SW_DM_KEY)
Set ConnectToDm = swDmApp
Else
Err.Raise vbError, "", "Document Manager SDK is not installed"
End If

Thank you in advance
(note: I didn't find the Smiley who shoots himself in the head)... so I have doubts now.)
