Internal Validation Error on documentReference.getLatesetVersion in subassembly

[p.seem]

All,

I've encountered another case where I always hit an internal validation error, even on new data.

The simplest path to reproduce the problem is as follows:

Create a new design, with a single body in it, save it as A.

Create a new design, save it as B. In design B, create a new component called C.  Add a reference instance of A into C. Save B.

Open document A, make a change, and save it.

Open document B, and run the following script:

        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        
        curDoc = app.activeDocument
        docRef = curDoc.documentReferences.item(0)
        if docRef.isOutOfDate:
            docRef.getLatestVersion() 

This always throws "RuntimeError: 2 :InternalValidationError : res" on getLatestVersion.

Note that it works as expected if A is in B directly.  I only see the error if the XRef inside a sub-assembly of the main model.

I've attached a screenshot for clarity.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you for posting it along with detailed steps. I am able to reproduce it. Created UP-40530 in our internal bug-tracking system to track it. There is following workaround if you want to try

docRefDataFile = docRef.dataFile

docRefDataFile.latestVersionNumber

Thanks for looking into it. I'm a little unclear on your workaround. This isn't a function that returns the latest version (like data file.latestVersion), this is one that updates the link to the latest version. Like choosing "get latest version" in the UI. I don't think your workaround dies that, does it?

If you meant something along the lines of:

docRef.version = docRef.dataFile.latestVersionNumber

(instead of docRef.getLatestVersion), the former also causes an internal validation error.

My suggested workaround was just to get the version number. You are right docRef.version API is allow throwing error. It is for same reason. I will try to fix them all in one go. Thanks for posting it.

Hi ,

I have a similar issu:

With a python script, i modify a design which has a drawing.

And when I try to update the drawing it doesn't work. Nothnig happen :

Here is a piece of the code :

            i=0

            while fichier.name!='My-xxxx-drawing':

                fichier=dossier.dataFiles.item(i)

                i=i+1

            fichier_copie = fichier.copy(dossier3)

            fichier_copie.name='LPL-'+str(int(long_prim_longi_ext))+'-ext'

            testtt = app.documents.open(fichier_copie,True)

            originett=app.activeDocument.documentReferences.item(0) 

           

            ui.messageBox('nom : '+originett.dataFile.name)  #to check if it is the good one (and the result is good)

            originett.getLatestVersion

            app.activeDocument.saveAs('LPL-'+str(int(long_prim_longi_ext))+'-ext-fini', dossier3, fichier_copie.name, fichier_copie.name)

            app.activeDocument.close(True)

Have you some ideas for this issue ? or another way to do what I want ?

And is it possible to export with python script the drawing in dxf or dwg file on my computer?

Thank you
