Yes, this is available as of R11. Look for the
DrawingView.SetDesignViewRepresentation method. The method provides an
option to specify whether you want to set the design view associatively or
not.

Is this available yet, or the ability to set the view to be associative?

This functionality is not yet available thru the API.

Can you edit a drawing view of an assembly and change the Design View via
the API?
Ok, I see that in the Help examples.
What if the view has already been created, and I just want to toggle the
Associative checkbox, via a toolbar button?

In order to do that, you can simply call the SetDesignViewRepresentation
method with the first input argument being the string returned by the
DrawingView.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation property (i.e. the currently used
design view) and the second argument being the 'Associative' flag.

I will do. The same code just fails without an error on 2008, but works fine with 11 on the same drawing file. If you've got error set then it re-directs as per the error. Perhaps I need to migrate the file??
No, a migration shouldn't be required (drawings are in fact migrated on
open). Let me know if you are able to narrow it down further.

I am finding that if the Associative box is not checked, then the value returned by the ActiveDesignViewRepresentation property is null. Even though when I look at the drawing view options form it has a design view selected. We have been using design views for a while, but we often forget to check the associative option. So what I want to do is get the current design view name that is being used in the view, and then set it again with the associative = True. But I can't get the design view name unless associative is already checked.
Any ideas on this? I have been trying to get it to work for 2 days and I can't find a way to get the name of the Design View Representation unless the associative box is checked. But the drawing view knows what design view was used because when I double click on the view, the name of the design view is still highlighted. What am I missing here?
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to get the "last
used" design view thru the API. As you've found, the
face="Times New Roman" size=3>ActiveDesignViewRepresentation property returns a
design view only if applied associatively.
