Ray,
The 'Defer Updates' option is a drawing document setting. This setting is
exposed by the DrawingDocument.DrawingSettings.DeferUpdates property. If I
remember right, this was added in IV9. Of course, in order to set this
property, you will first need to open the document which will cause the
drawing to update. The update will only be deferred for subsequent opens.
If you want the updates to be deferred on the very first open, you will need
to use Apprentice (and this can be done in IV8 SP1). You can set a property
on the document that controls the defer updates setting, to true, and then
open the drawing in Inventor.
Dim odoc As ApprenticeServerDrawingDocument
...
...
Dim oProp As Property
Set oProp = odoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Defer
Updates")
oProp.Value = True
odoc.PropertySets.FlushToFile

Application.GeneralPreferences.DeferUpdate True. But when I try to use it I
get an error. Any suggestions would be helpful.
