Hello,

I have seen that there have been some questions concerning „custom features“ ( ie.: https://forum.solidworks.com/message/358402 or https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/45193 )

At the end of the day there are not really many examples around – and all the examples I have seen do not show how one can add “real customized data” to a feature (ie a structure or a class).

In an ideal API it would be possible to have a customized macro feature where the macro feature can be instantiated in such a way that it can have hold customized data structures (class or structure)

However InsertMacroFeature3 seems to be very constrained concerning this matter and I could not come up with a solution so far  - is this the bottleneck ?

swMacroFeatureParamType_e ...defines the crucial parameter in InsertMacroFeature3

So String, Doubles and Integers are not sufficient for my desired task.

Background: I would like to have several coordinate systems in a part, the coordinate systems being managed in the tree of the feature manager, a VB.net function would call up the custom feature beneath the coordinate system and adding XYZ coordinates (and other information concerning a specific point)

Any help and inspiration appreciated.
