Hello,

I am kinda new the whole Solidworks API thing, but here is what I am trying to do.  I am making a stand-alone program, no macros, that my co-workers can use to look up a product according to sizes.  Then when they have found the sizes they want, it will allow them to save a solidworks part file with a chosen name and the sizes they selected.  I have a part file already drawn, that I will be using as a template.  I was planning on having that file be opened, and saveAs to the new location, so that nothing on that will be changed.  I then want to access the dimensions of the new file and change those to the sizes that the program has selected.  Here is the method that I have so far:

Private Sub setSolidWorksInformation(ByVal loc As String)

        Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

        Dim part As SldWorks.ModelDoc2

        Dim swIdDim, swOdDim, swLgDim, swHdDiamDim, swHdThkDim As SldWorks.Dimension

        swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")

        part = swApp.OpenDoc(getBushingFile(), 1)

        part.SaveAs(loc)

        swIdDim = part.Parameter("ID@Sketch1")

        swOdDim = part.Parameter("OD@Sketch1")

        swLgDim = part.Parameter("Length@Sketch1")

        If HeadRadio.Checked = True Then

            swHdDiamDim = part.Parameter("HeadDiam@Sketch1")

            swHdThkDim = part.Parameter("HeadThick@Sketch1")

        End If

        swApp.ExitApp()

        swApp = Nothing

    End Sub

I have been successful in pulling the information out of the sketch items, but not been able to store the information into them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
