iLogic Print Command

Is there a way to catch this command before it executes?

 

ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppFilePrintCmd").execute

 

Example: I want to use an iLogic form that is triggered via the iTrigger that users have to prompt to select what kind of print this is "RELEASE, REFERENCE, or DRAFT" once there selection is made the "Plot Stamp" in the title block is updated based on the selection and the print window is excuted with the above command.

 

Now I have all this worked out but being that this isnt a perfect world the problem is users still sometimes click the print button which does not prompt them for the print type nor update the "Print Stamp" Info which is a problem. Which is why I am wondering if a user clicks the print button can I prompt the iLogic form before the print options window comes up?

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

I am afraid you have to use the event UserInputEvents.OnActivateCommand of Inventor API to watch when the Print command is executed.
