VBA Check design doctor for errors in drawing

pball — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:50:41 GMT

Is there a way to check in VBA if the design doctor has found errors in a drawing? I have a mass print script and it'd be handy to be able to skip printing any drawings that have errors like unatached dimensions and such.

Hi There,

Take a look at the "ErrorManager Interface" in the help files, you can find samples there.

Public Sub ErrorManager()

    Dim errorMng As ErrorManager
    Set errorMng = ThisApplication.ErrorManager
    
    Dim errors As String
    errors = errorMng.AllMessages
    
End Sub

Regards,

Philippe.

I tried this and all I get is <ErrorsAndWarnings/> even though I can see errors in the sketch doctor. An suggestions? Is there maybe a document error manager?

The method above apparently can only pick up errors that happen while your code is running. If you just want to see if a document has an error or not there is a solution in a more recent thread of mine.
