IFC import to Civil 3D

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to develop a VB.Net Application in Civil 3D 2018 so I can convert some IFC files to dwg.  I've tried using the SendCommand, but this doesn't wait until the process has completed, before moving to the next task and this is causing an error.  This there a better way to access the IFCIMPORT command?

This is my code

Dim FileName as String = "C:\Test.ifc"

Dim DrawingName as String = "C:\Test.dwg"

Dim CommandLine as String - "-IFCIMPORT" & vbCr & FileName & vbCr & "NO" & vbCr & DrawingName & vbCr & "IMPORT" & vbCr

ActiveDocument.SendCommand(CommandLine)

Thanks in advanced

If you're going to rely on running the commands AND your going to do in in a dotNet app, you might be best served to setup a handler to respond to the command ended event. This way, you can explicitly trigger your next step after the last one is completed.
