Application Object

Description

Provides the properties and methods necessary for a Visual Basic user to drive Solid Edge programmatically.

Object Model

Remarks

All of the exposed objects for the application can be accessed once you have accessed the Application object. The Application object contains application-wide options and settings, including access to preference sets, version information, window states, status and toolbar controls, mail and routing slip access, and so forth. All top-level objects (ActiveDocument, ActiveEnvironment, and so forth) can be retrieved from the Application object.
