| name | swpilotcli-new-part |
| description | Create a new SolidWorks Part document using the user's configured default Part template. Reads `swDefaultTemplatePart` from user preferences and calls `NewDocument`. Use when the user asks to create a new part, start modeling from scratch, or needs a fresh `.sldprt` to host a subsequent sketch/feature workflow. |
SolidWorks New Part
Create a new empty Part document from the configured default Part template.
Prerequisites
- SolidWorks 2024+ with SwpilotCLI add-in installed
- .NET 8+ Runtime
- A valid default Part template configured in SolidWorks (Tools ▸ Options ▸ File Locations ▸ Document Templates)
What this Skill does
- Makes SolidWorks visible (
swApp.Visible = true)
- Reads
GetUserPreferenceStringValue(swDefaultTemplatePart) to get the template path
- Fails with exit code 4 if the template path is empty
- Calls
NewDocument(template, 0, 0, 0) and reports the new part's title
When to use
- User asks "開一個新的零件" / "create a new part" / "start a new part"
- As the first step of an AI-driven part-modeling workflow before
sketch-on-face, sketch-draw, feature-extrude-boss, etc.
Quick start
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-new-part/scripts/NewPart/NewPart.csproj
