RE: win32com problem: more than one instance


Hello Thomas,

excel registers its COM objects with REGCLS_SINGLEUSE that means one COM
object is created
per process. In Solidworks it seems that that they register with
REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE, which means
on process can serve more than one COM object. Hence you have no chance
to get multiple instances
running in any COM client.

Hello,

I start my script convert.py simultaneously in any
dos-shells several
times. But I get every time the same solidworks instance.
I see in the proccess (task) manager only one
solidworks.exe Therefore
I get for all simultaneous conversions the same output file.

I *think* -- and I'm really hoping someone more knowledgeable
can chip in here -- that it's down to the particular COM
object implementation. ie Excel may choose to offer you
separate instances (or whatever they're called) while
SolidWorks may not.
