Disable Update OLE dialog

Anonymous · ‎07-02-2014

HI everyone,

I'm compilling a VB programm to batch print every DWG drawing to PDF (we've got like 25000 of them)

My program works ok, exept for one point : Sometimes, it opens an old DWG file which had an OLE object in it, so Autocad ask, with a dialog box, if the user wants to update the linked OLE object. At this point, my program stop running and wait until someone click an answer.

Do you know a way to disable this dialog box or to answer it yes or no (it doesn't matter) automatically, so my program could continue to run ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer but I already tried it end unfortunately it didn't work 😞

As I understand, the Hiadeable dialog boxes are the one with the checkbox "Do this for all the other drawing" or something like that.

Here is a screenshot of what the dialog boxe I want to get rid off look like :

Thanks.

Too bad there wasn't a sysvar for ole like proxynotice. What I would do is open the file in a side db and check for ole objects. If there isn't any, go ahead and open the file for plotting. If there is, log it and don't open it. After the batch finishes, you can deal with the files that had ole in them.
