Your Big Brother looks great. I would like to modify it bit to my exact needs.

Could I get a copy of the source code please.

Thanks,
Phil

Craig,

Can you tell me a little bit more about your use case?

Can I switch this application to fill in the configuration specific properties, and if so how would I do that?

Chris,

A few things:

I haven’t tried it with SolidWorks but I have created other COM interop addins with the Express version so you should be able to. However, the SolidWorks Addin Template Wizard definitely isn’t supported by the Express edition so if you can create the Addin, then you would have to have someone send you a stubbed out addin and then fill in the gaps with your code.

Note: The Standard version supports the template and is $300. Not free but fairly reasonable.

Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,

Can the VB2008 Express version create SolidWorks add-ins? I’ve seen conflicting information.

XMLPropWorks 1.0 is nearly ready for beta testing. I will be setting up a wiki collaboratory to help me manage the beta test process a little better than last time which was via e-mail.

The next MAJOR leap for this app is translation into VB.NET.

cheers
