I need to read a dwg template file to copy block into current drawing modelspace,

when I pre open the template file and then start my current drawing, it reports error message eFileSharingViolation.

I want to catch this error, but I don't know how to do, Can somebody else give some suggestion？

Thank you very much.

2 questions

why do you have the template open in the editor? the error msg is self-explanatory.

what do you hope to accomplish by "catching" the error?

Thank you very much for your reply.
When I read dwg file to copy block into current modelspace,
If I use FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, the error disappear.

"I need to read a dwg template file to copy block into current drawing modelspace,"

you do not need the template open in the editor - you can use a side database. there are several examples in this forum.

older example

but, if your way works for you, good! IMO - it seems odd to me - the template should be a static document - only edited for administrative purposes (in other words, almost never "open").
