[API BUG] Application.documentActivated Event do not raise

Application.documentActivated Event does not raise when switching between Design and Drawing documents.
At the same time Application.documentActivating Event works fine.

In attachment you can find a test script and a short video which describes the issue

Hello,

Did you try to execute this sample program: Application Event API Sample API Sample ?

On my machine, the documentActivated event works perfectly.

Yes, I am. Maybe it is a platform-dependent issue? I am working on Windows 10 environment.

And as you can see on my screencast the Application Event API Sample API Sample script does not raise documentActivated and documentDeactivated events when I switch between Drawing and Modeling tabs.

I see the exact same problem. I tried the API sample linked above.

Result:

* Drawing to Design or Design to Drawing: Only Activating and Deactivating events

* Design to Design: Activating, Activated, Deactivating and Deactivated events

2.0.8624
Active Plan: Fusion 360, Personal
Windows 10 (18362)

Note: This makes it very hard to hide/show a panel depending on the document type.

Has there been any progress on this issue? I have multiple add-ins where I have had to hook on to e.g. CommandTerminated to work around this.

Sorry for spamming. Here is how to work around it in the mean time, I think (likely making Fusion 360 a tiny bit more slow with each add-in doing this, as the UserInterface.commandTerminated handler will trigger on every select and small user action).

def command_terminated_handler(args: adsk.core.ApplicationCommandEventArgs): # PLM360OpenAttachmentCommand, CurrentlyOpenDocumentsCommand are workarounds for DocumentActivated with Drawings bug. if (args.commandId in ('PLM360OpenAttachmentCommand', 'CurrentlyOpenDocumentsCommand')): # document activated
