xarial/xcad

Framework for developing CAD applications for SOLIDWORKS, including add-ins, stand-alone applications, macro features, property manager pages, etc.

xcad's Issues

BitmapButton bool not firing propertyManagerPage DataChanged Event

        [Description("Barra Quadrada")]
        [BitmapButton(typeof(Resources), nameof(Resources.Barra_Quadrada), 48, 48)]
        [ControlOptions(left: 37, top: 0)]
        public bool SquareBar { get; set; } = false; 

        private void M_Page_DataChanged()
        {
            var test = m_Data;
            
                //TODO: handle the data changing, e.g. update preview
        }

if I set a breakpoint on var test = ... and click on the button the breakpoint is never reached
On combobox change the breakpoint is reached

Set Dimension Exceptions

I Think mPart.Dimensions["A@Extrude1"]?.SetValue(Dimentions.Asize) should not break the code when there is no "A@Extrude1" in the model, or if it is really necessary we could have a mPart.Dimensions["A@Extrude1"]?.TrySetValue(Dimentions.Asize) that fails silently. Or return an bool informing if it worked or not.

Add Suport to Bitmap Button

Add IXComponent::Path

This should also resolve to correct path for the lightweight components or components opened in view-only mode

Add option to extract all dependencies from the document

Add options to specify items source based on the property for ComboBox control

Add ability to configure services for dependency injection

For example IXLogger

Add ability to add controls dynamically to property manager page

Should be possible to add controls at runtime

Implement Macro Feature Handler service

Create API reference documentation

Need API reference (generated from XML comments) added to the xcad.xarial.com
Also need to refer all the links used in the user guide to the API reference

Document management breaks if custom doc handler has an unhandled exception

If any registered document handler has an exception this breaks the documents management

IXAssembly::Components empty for the LDR assembly

Add ability to render numberbox as slider

Implement xCAD for SOLIDWORKS Document Manager

Need to support:

• Open document
• Custom properties
• Cut lists
• Assembly components

Add support for checkbox in group

Add WindowRectangle API to find the bounds of the host window

Add SwApplication::GetInstalledVersion static method

This function will be helpful for the out-of-process applications

Build error when cleaning the solution

Build error will be shown when cleaning the solution and regasm or regsvr is run with /u switch but assembly cannot be unregistered (for example missing references). Make this error non blocking

Add attribute to exclude the property from the macro feature binding

Add IXApplication::Process

Provide an access to the process of the main application

Add to docs How to open solidworks in debug

Add support for drawing views

xcad does not compile (.NET5.0

SwAssembly.Components returns empty enumerable in add-in

Works correctly in stand-alone

[CheckBox] using [Flags] enum

This idea transferred from SwEx ticket

Implemented multi-checkboxes for Flag enumeration for property pages

Add support for List control in the property page

Selected items should be bound to value
Multi selection should be supported

List should behave and accept parameters similar to ComboBox control and multicheckbox

Add ability to serialize and deserialize pointers for SW objects

Persistent References ID

Updating Combobox based on another comboBox selection change

this code works great.

public override IEnumerable<string> ProvideItems(SwApplication app) => Directory.GetDirectories(@"X:/");

but how can I show in the next combobox the subfolders of the selected folder in the previous combobox?

xcad does not compile (.NET5.0) due to RegAsm.exe

dotnet.exe build:

RegAsm : error RA0000: Could not load file or assembly 'Xarial.XCad.SolidWorks, Version=0.6.8.0,

Document events are not attached for pre-created templates

Documents commited via ISwDocumentCollection::PreCreate with a specific document type do not attach event upon commit and thus not correctly released when closed.

This applies both for opening and creating new documents.

Documents created as IXUnknownDocument work correctly

Add ability to read feature tree from IXComponent

INotifyPropertyChanged is ignored

Control no longer reacts on the event to update its state

Instruction on installing the addon

While developing it works great but I think we need a tutorial on instaling and common issues
I'm developping in .net core 3.1 and couldn't install on another computer.

Add support for cut-list custom properties

Add support for version on IXDocument and IXApplication

Add option to open document in rapid mode

This is an equivalent for detailing mode in SOLIDWORKS

IXDocumentRepository::Open should support all file types

Currently, this API can only open sldprt, sldasm, slddrw files
Need to support for other files, e.g. non-native, lib feats and blocks

Add support for progress bar in application

Error when opening documents breaks IXDocumentRepository

If there is an error when opening the document from code (e.g. missing file) then as the results of this SwDocumentCollection will be broken due to the hanging model which is not dispatched

Allow to specify template when creating new document

Custom controls added to Property Page are not loaded after page is closed

Control is only displayed on the first page open

Add IXApplication::WindowHandle

Need an access to the window handle of the main application window

Add APIs to save document

Trying to run in .net Core 3.1 cannot find System.Drawing.Common

Exception when using indexed pixel format for icons

The following exception is thrown System.Exception: 'A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format.' if using indexed pixel format image (256 color BMP) as an icon

256bitmap.zip

[ComVisible(true)]
    public class BitmapButtonsAddIn : Xarial.XCad.SolidWorks.SwAddInEx
    {
        [ComVisible(true)]
        public class PMPModel : SwPropertyManagerPageHandler 
        {
            [BitmapButton(typeof(Resources), nameof(Resources._256bitmap), 64, 64)]

        private SwPropertyManagerPage<PMPModel> m_Page;

        public override void OnConnect()
        {
            m_Page = CreatePage<PMPModel>();
        }
    }

IEnumerable<SwFeature> with ForEach

Add supporte for

Features.ForEach(feat =>{ 
      //Do something with feat like getting it's type.
});

today I have to use like that many times.

var Weldment = mPart.Features.First(feat => feat.Name.Contains("Comprimento")) as SwFeature;

Add option to apply native APIs to property page controls

Need some way to inject code to add controls, modify controls to property manager page using native APIs (e.g. SOLIDWORK) before page is created. This would provide some flexibility if certain API is not covered by xCAD

Add event when extension and host application is fully loaded

IXSelectionRepository::Add fails if other objects were preselected

Add options to add colors to faces, bodies and features
