Better HSMWorks API and more API resources

[Anonymous]

HSMWorks API is an extremely primitive element of HSMWorks. It is truly disappointing and frustrating that a HSMWorks feature that has been developed for a few years is still a mystery to even Autodesk developers and engineers. It needs to be developed better as soon as possible and more API resources (e.g. tutorials) should be made available to customers.

Totally agree!

Would be great to have a simple "getting started" and a working example.

Hello,

Is anywhere a manual or video how to start with API in HSMworks?  Or exmaples? Is here anybody, who can make small API code for HSMWorks for me? (dzino@seznam.cz)

Hello,
I´m trying to use HSM library (link: https://www.autodesk.com/products/hsmworks/overview?plc=F360&term=1-YEAR&support=ADVANCED&quantity=1) in SolidWorks. I created c++/cli project with marshaling code (hsm library is C, my solid works plugin is c#).
The problem is, that I´m not able to run any function which takes document as an argument. If I try function which takes bool, it seems to work fine.
I´m not sure where the issue might be.
This is how I declare interop function:
[DllImport("hsmsw.dll")]
unsigned int HSMWorks_checkTasks(IntPtr document);
This is how I call it:
hsm.HSMWorks_checkTasks_(Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject(document))

Complete project is here: http://www.uschovna.cz/zasilka/YWPK5JX6C5WYXE56-PUT

Did anyone had any succes using hsm library in SolidWorks?
