DocumentManager.Open() Is Not the current Document

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 07:04:28 GMT

I used autocad 2012,when I use code to open a drawing like below:

Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = Application.DocumentManager.Open(path, false);
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            doc.LockDocument();

I got a document, but the document is not what i open, it's the previous document.

Anyone can tell me how to get the document I opened right now~?

Any of your help will do me a big favor,

thank you.

This is what I use:

public static void OpenCadDrawing()
        {
            DocumentCollection d = Application.DocumentManager;
            string FileName = "C:\\Test.dwg"; // Add your full path of the drawing
            if (File.Exists(FileName))
            {
                Document doc = d.Open(FileName, false);
                d.MdiActiveDocument = doc;
            }
            else
            {
                Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage("\nDrawing can not be found !");
            }
        }

I tried your solution,

but the code can not go on when it goes to

d.MdiActiveDocument = doc;

the codes after this could not be called..

Actually, I tried your way,and here is what I have problem with

when I tried to call

Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name

The result is still the previous document,Not the one I Opened it right now...

If the problem is only with activating the drawing, try to set the WindowState of the newly opened drawing to Maximized as in the following example.

e.g;

Document doc = d.Open(FileName, false);
doc.Window.WindowState = DocumentWindow.State.Maximized;

And you need to add the namespace :

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;

EDIT: I made the Window state to Maximized as you wish for.

I can't using the

doc.Window.WindowState = DocumentWindow.State.Maximized;

the visual studio always remind me to add use of PresentationCore.dll

Even when I add the namespace before the Window will still get the problem.
have you faced it~?

Hi,

If your code is called from a CommandMethod attributed class, you have to set the CommandFlags.Session.

[CommandMethod("Cmd", CommandFlags.Session)]

I just used it in a private function, other place will call the function...

When I said "called from", I didn't mean "directly called from", I meant the main calling method.

How do you start the process which calls this function? a command or a click on a dialog button? if it's from a dialog, is this dialog modal or modeless? if it's a modal dialog, how is opened this dialog?...
