How to update the style libary through the API

[davidt162003]

So im nearing completion of a project where my users will run Inventor through a external UI. As part of the initial setup I need to add in the Drawing template which is fine but it has a different style library. I know how to get users to do this through the UI but Ideally I want the whole setup to be automated. I

s their a way to do this through the API? I tried looking through the documentation but nothing stood out.   

For those unaware I'm talking about the "save" under then styles and standards section which pushes the styles in the document to the style library.

Does this work? Dont want to test it on my machine haha

Dim oDDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document

oDDoc.StylesManager.ActiveStandardStyle.SaveToGlobal()

Hmm it might do, I think for now were going to get the users to do it for now as were on crunch to release but Ill try adding that in after initial testing.

@daltonNYAW9 Im struggling to think how best to use it. Currently the setup steps I have are
1. Copy template from shared drive, move it to “C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Templates\en-US”
2. create a new project setting the style libary to "Read-Write"
3. open up the template and click save,

I think I know how to do 1 and 3, but its step 2 I'm struggling with

You could create the project with ilogic. Don't have too much experience programming w/ inventor external to the cilent's ui.

Sub Main()
    ' Set a reference to the DesignProjectManager object.
    Dim oDesignProjectMgr As DesignProjectManager = ThisApplication.DesignProjectManager

    ' Create a new singler user project
    Dim oProject As DesignProject = oDesignProjectMgr.DesignProjects.Add(kSingleUserMode, "MyProject", "C:\temp\")
	
	oProject.StylesLibraryAccess = StylesLibraryAccessEnum.kReadWriteStylesLibraryAccess
End Sub
