AutoEdit

[Anonymous]

Help states
AutoEdit
If the macro exists within a part document, this macro is run when a sketch is edited.

I have a AutoEdit sub in my part but the only time it seems to fire is when I have another
document open and switch from it to the one with AutoEdit.

What am I missing?

If help is wrong about AutoEdit, then what event is the proper one to use to catch new
sketches being made?

Hi Kent, nice to meet again.
See Customer files for a sample. This part is starting both macros when creating a new part from it, also when it is the first document that's get opened.
The only limitation i could found is that it must be a document macro.

Hi Anton

Good to see you around again. 8^)

Unless I am reading this wrong??
"AutoEdit

For me it doesn't fire when you edit a sketch like it says it will???

My apologize; it does fire off when the document is edited, but indeed not when (any) object is edited.
Something for Autodesk to kook at.
Greetings,

Thanks, I thought I was going crazy(er)

I am sure this is something I should know, but what event would I use to watch for a
sketch being edited or created?

What kind of programming did you had in mind.
I found no ordinary PartDocument events to handle this (except the AutoEdit, but this doesn't seems to work).
So i guess the only way to handle this is with a separate VB program, watching the (change of) ActiveEditObject in the current document.

It isn't a real big deal, but one of the master sketches I am working on almost every new
sketch I have to project the origin point. I figured maybe I could do it automatically
every time a new sketch was started in this file.

I suppose the easy way out is to have a button that starts a new sketch and projects the
origin, but I am so used to typing S to start a sketch I would probably forget to use it
half the time.

Kent,

Do you have a VB6 compiler? If so see customer files/AutoEdit. This is just a simple example intercepting the name of the ActiveEditObject in the current document.
Write you're own code in between.

Thanks for the efforts Anton. I think for the time being I will just stick with manually
projecting the origin each time.

Hopefully Events will get a little more robust in the future. 8^)

Kent,

It is a known problem and is being debated on what the behavior should be.

Thanks Thilak

I vote for just like help says, but I guess if I knew all the options my
vote might be different 8^)
