Drawing view events, on create new sheet

[basnederveen]

Hi everyone

I was wondering if it is possible to create an event trigger that triggers when a new drawing sheet is created. If it is, how?

Kind regards

Bas

Hi Bas,

Yes:

Private WithEvents oUINewDrawingView As UserInputEvents


Public Sub Activate(ByVal addInSiteObject123 As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal firstTime As Boolean) Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Activate
oUINewDrawingView = m_inventorApplication.ApplicationEvents
end sub

Private Sub UINewDrawingView_OnActivateCommand(CommandName As String, Context As Inventor.NameValueMap) Handles oUINewDrawingView.OnActivateCommand
            'MsgBox(CommandName)
            If CommandName = "DrawingNewSheetCtxCmd" Then
'Your code here
end if
end sub

Could you break down some of this information for me? It doesn't work if I just copy and paste it into my project, and I would like a better understanding of it anyways.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use userinputevents.onactivatecommand with drawingnewsheet command. If you need to do stuff on the new sheet before it is activated probably applicationevents.onneweditobject.

Thank you. I'll try playing with those commands

I know i'm a little bit late, but these commands and instructions are for vb.net, vba, and add-in programming. So they won't work for ilogic.

There are various tutorials on autodesk university regarding addin development.
