Document Manager API - Design Table

SOLIDWORKS API/VBA Macros
1

I am new to Document Manager API and have come across a command that I have not been able to implement properly. Within ISwDMDocument13 members, there is a method called GetExternalDesignTable that when I use in my routine only returns a blank string. Is there anyone that knows how to return the path to the design table or how to properly implement this method?

Is your design table really saved externally? Or is it stored within the model file itself, so internal?

The method that you’re calling has an out parameter. Check its value for a hint on what’s going wrong.

@artem prolly knows. I have not used design tables with docMan

I have multiple parts the routine iterates through, some with internal but most with an external location.

So what does the out parameter say about the status of each table?
