HowTo Suppress a Save Dialog Box.

rberghLJ4SA — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:11:58 GMT

We running an AutoCAD Extension. We aslo set the system variable SDI to 1 (Single Document Interface).

When I use

Application.DocumentManager.Open

A save dialog pops up, I need to suppress this dialog. I've tried CloseAndSave but because we're running SDI a document must be open. So basically when I open a doc the active doc will be closed I just don't want the active doc saved.

Did you tried this,

For intI = 0 To Acadapp.Documents.Count - 1 Acadapp.Documents.Item(intI).Close(SaveChanges:=False) Next

I would suggest that you try doing a SaveAs to a file in the temp folder and always overwrite any existing file so that the drawing is not in an unsaved state and the save dialog won't appear. I honestly don't think that there's any other way around that problem.

object obj = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.GetSystemVariable("DWGTITLED"); // Check to see if the drawing has been named if (System.Convert.ToInt16(obj) == 0) { if (File.Exists(Path.Combine(FileHandler.AppDataInstancePath(), "WorkingDoc.dwg"))) { Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.SaveAs(Path.Combine(Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%temp%"),"temp.dwg"),true,DwgVersion.Current,null); //Still showing save dialog on Open... Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open(Path.Combine(FileHandler.AppDataInstancePath(), "WorkingDoc.dwg")); } Document acDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; string strDWGName = acDoc.Name; acDoc.Database.SaveAs(Path.Combine(FileHandler.AppDataInstancePath(), "WorkingDoc.dwg"), true, DwgVersion.Current, null); }

This is what I've tried, I still get a Save dialog on opening of the WorkingDoc.dwg. Even after saving the default drawing to a temp folder.

Btw this is running in Application context during initialization of AutoCAD.

Can you try this sequence and tell.

'EndAcadTasks() Acadapp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application") Acadapp.Visible = True Acadapp.WindowState = AcWindowState.acMax Acaddoc = Acadapp.ActiveDocument Acaddoc.SetVariable("SDI", 1) Acadapp.Documents.Open("e:\testcad.dwg") '''' code for endAcadTasks if required Public Sub EndAcadTasks() Try Dim processes As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("acad") For Each proc As Process In processes proc.Kill() Next Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Error ending acad.exe tasks: " & ex.Message) End Try End Sub

I would try using the COM AcadDocument.SaveAs() method.
