Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to add reference programmatically to a file. I've been following the example here (2016 SOLIDWORKS API Help - Add Custom File Reference Example (C#) ) and editing as needed so it fits my use case. The issue I now have is in PDM, after the code runs, I can select the file and click the "Contains" tab. Nothing is listed in this view as referenced, but when I press the "Custom References" toolbar button in the "Contains" subwindow, I can then see the custom references. Let's call the file getting all the references set to it the "rootFile". If, at this point, I check out the root file, make any kind of minor edit that forces a new version, and check in the new version, the "Contains" tab view suddenly displays all the added custom references. How can I achieve this without have to check the file in and out? Is there a more straightforward way to make PDM show the custom references in the "Contains" view from the get-go? Thanks in advance.
