Update IDW - HELP!!!!

How do you get an IDW to update if it is opened in an invisible instance of
Inventor?

I am running Inventor on a web-server through ASP calls but setting the
ivApp.Visible property to True has no effect. (Inventor will remain
invisible)

I have noticed that Inventor, and the IDW, must be visible on screen in
order for the IDW to update. This is not the case however for modifying
IPT's.

I also noticed that the Inventor.DrawingDocument has an Update method that
throws the error "Object does not support this property or method".

Has anyone run into this?

I want also to know the answer on your question. A proper REFRESH and UPDATE to be used...

Best regards

Hi John

You should call Document.Views(1).update to , this will force an update even
if inventor is not visible.
