API Start a drawing clean, without running ilogic or prompted entries

[DWhiteley]

Hi,

I want to start a new drawing clean, using:

 oDrawdoc = m_inventorApplication.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject, oTemplate, True)

But most importantly, for any iLogic routine to NOT run & any prompted entries NOT to come up.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Whiteley,

It is possible to create clean drawing on creating addin.

In StandardAddInServer.vb file, there is a method/function called as Activate(....). Inside this, a DrawingDocument can be initialized as shown in the following.

Public Sub Activate(ByVal addInSiteObject As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal firstTime As Boolean) Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Activate

m_inventorApplication = addInSiteObject.Application            

Dim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument            
oDrawingDoc = m_inventorApplication.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject, oTemplate, True)

End Sub

After starting inventor, a drawing document will be opened without any prompt.

Please feel free to contact if there is any doubt.

Try this:

m_inventorApplication.SilentOperation = True
Try

'<Your code here>

Catch
End Try
m_inventorApplication.SilentOperation = False
