I'm writing a small C# app to test the cost API but got an error at line:
swCosting = (CostManager)swModelDocExt.GetCostingManager();
Precondition:
1/ Start Solidworks software and open one sample file
2/ Add reference in c:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SOLIDWORKS\api\redist\ to my C# app.
SolidWorks.Interop.sldcostingapi.dll
SolidWorks.Interop.swconst.dll
SolidWorks.Interop.sldworks.dll
Please help to take a look at below code (the code is copy from the help of Solidworks) except line #18, #19.
