Database.SaveAs Avoid Resetting view

drewj — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 17:39:43 GMT

I am attempting to batch process multiple dwg's.

I am sideloading the database, then after changes are made I use Database.SaveAs.

The resultant file saves with the modifications, however the saved file has its view reset.

The dwgs view have a Roll Angle to account for a building that is not drawn orthogonally, but this dissapears in the saveas file.

Anyway around this?

Should I be using a different workflow?

Thanks for any guidance

I'm not sure what Roll Angle means (View Twist?), but I don't seem to have a problem with Database.SaveAs() loosing the current view. When I open a file saved via SaveAs(), even as a side database, the view that was current when the file was last saved in the AutoCAD editor, remains intact.

Is the view that is being lost in a layout viewport or the model tab?

If the changes made in the processing includes changes to layout (such as changing layout name), then there is a recent discussion here

without solution proposed.
