Possible to check if an add-in is enabled using API ?

Refer to API help, the SldWorks::GetAddinObject() function. By calling it you can grab any addin object (and call it's methods, btw). If it returns nothing, the specified add-in is not loaded, obviously.

Hope this helps!

Any idea what thecall for SaveAsPDF addin is? I just want to make sure its loaded, otherwise the user wont know why the macro button didnt save a pdf.

Good question indeed - it is not an addin no more in SW2006, so it's hard for me to find it out. I assume, that one way to find it out could be following:

- Open registry editor

- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SolidWorks\Add-Ins

- Browse through add-in keys (named{xxxx.xxx..}) and find the one with correct Description value

- Copy the addin key GUID to clipboard (long number in curly brackets)

- Use the find tool in registry editor and try to find that key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder

You should be able to find a folder with same key name, and under that a folder named ProgID. For example, the GUID for HarnessWorks dll seems to be {5D4259AC-8693-4423-88C4-14618B5E9151}, and the ProgID is HWorks.HarnessWorks.1, therefore the function call for that add-in would be

Dim foo as Object set foo = swApp.GetAddinObject("HWorks.HarnessWorks.1")

Hope this helps, sorry that I could not be more specific regarding PDF add-in!
