Can I use the new CAM tool in solidworks to get the toolpath of edges of a solid body?
If so which versions of Solidworks would support such macro?
Do I need a special license to use CAM api?
@Hamed : I think SOLIDWORKS CAM comes with SW Professional or Premium. I think you might need to ask SW for access to their CAM API. I can’t seem to find anything online about it. Contact your VAR.
Technically, the SOLIDWORKS API is enough to get the length of edges of all bodies. Drop your macro here and I might be able to help you.
@Hamed, Is this what you are looking for: https://www.solidcam.com/fileadmin/user_upload/downloads/PDF/automation_api/reference.pdf
I looked at it some time ago for a project but unfortunately Solid CAM doesn’t offer much API.
