how to know the feature/body/parts name if it is selected using mouse
as topic says.
i just want to get its name if the feature/parts/body is selected with mouse and insert its name into database.
but, the first step to get its name is not easy for me now.
any suggestion will be appreciated!

hey,
try this code:
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim swselmgr as sldworks.selectionmgr
dim swselection as sldworks.component2
dim swpart as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim swpartname as string
'create solidworks object
swapp = createobject("sldworks.application")
'get active document
swpart = swapp.activedoc
'set the selectionmanager
swselmgr = swpart.selectionmanager
'get the component of selected object
swselection = swselmgr.getselectedobjectscomponent2(1)
'get the name of the component
swpartname = swselection.name2
'show name in messagebox
msgbox(swpartname)

its written in vb.net
should work for you!
