FAQPage Schema
How do I automate building a SolidWorks C# add-in with MSBuild?

You can automate building a SolidWorks C# add-in by invoking MSBuild with specified Debug/x64 configurations and tool paths. This streamlines the compilation process by executing the build step automatically without manual command entry.

What problem does automating C# add-in compilation solve for developers?

Automating C# add-in compilation solves the problem of manually executing complex MSBuild commands. It streamlines the development lifecycle by facilitating quick rebuilds after code changes, accelerating deployment for SolidWorks add-ins.

Do I need MSBuild in my PATH to compile a SolidWorks add-in?

Yes, you need MSBuild available in your system's PATH to compile the SolidWorks add-in. The solution file must also be accessible to execute the automated build process correctly.

Can I use specific build configurations like Debug and x64 for SolidWorks add-ins?

Yes, the build process supports specific build configurations such as Debug and x64 for SolidWorks add-ins. It compiles the solution using MSBuild while applying these specified configurations and tool paths.

Why is my MSBuild command not working for my C# add-in solution?

Your MSBuild command might not work if MSBuild is not in the system PATH or the solution file is inaccessible. Ensure your environment is correctly configured and the solution path is valid for the build to succeed.
