Ignore vault checkout message in inventor API

[basnederveen]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it was possible to press NO on the 'Do you want to check this item out from Vault?' prompt in an add-in/macro?

Turning on silentoperation does not work for this. I know the commandmanager gives me the option to check-in, out and undo-check-out my files, but I haven't been able to find what I am looking for. 

Thanks in advance

Bas

Hi,

I will explain the serialization later, ok?

Please send me I private message if you want this explanation. otherwise I will forget it.

other question is:

Why does your macro's try or want to check out the not checked out files form vault.

is it not much easier to prevent them form checking out in your macro?

I am running also a lot or routines (Vb.net) but not for files that are not checked out!

Regards,

Hi,

sent the message. Thank you!

I am trying to make a batch exporter, but i need to do something to each drawing. So i get the vault popup on file edit, and the macro stops..

I think for now I am gonna go with disabling the vault addin and enabling it after finishing.

Hi Bas,

You could also save the file with a temporary name and location "strfullfilename".

open this file "strfullfilename" with :

oInvApp.FileOptions.FileOpenOptions.SkipAllUnresolvedFilesInDrawing = True

InventorApplication.Documents.OpenWithOptions(strfullfilename, oNVM, True)

This will eliminate vault from watching it.

I found your solution and would like to use it;

1 - I imported the Connectivity.Inventor.Forms dll into the references of my Win Form project in Visual Studio 2017

2 - 64-bit CPU target

3 - I have included these two instructions in the project

Connectivity.Inventor.Forms.SuppressCheckInDialog.SuppressSetting = True invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item ("VaultCheckinTop"). Execute2 (False)

but unfortunately Inventor keeps showing me the check-in dialog.

To do this type of setUp, can inventor be turned on with an open assembly or do I have to set these settings in some particular condition?

Thank you very much

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Did you save the file temporary?

[m_zano]

I don't think is my solution....

I want to check in my open drawing file by

invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop").Execute2(False)

and I would like to use your instruction

Connectivity.Inventor.Forms.SuppressCheckInDialog.SuppressSetting = True

in order to flag this checkbox via API before perform the check in command "invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop").Execute2(False) "

is it possible to do it? I am not able to obtain this behavior

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Then you will need to use the EDM add-in reference of inventor.

There you can disable it first and enable the dialog afterwards.

Also the option can be disabled from the options in the Vault tab.

I have imported Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin but

SuppressCheckInDialog.SuppressSetting = True

invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop").Execute2(False)

doesn't work correctly because inventor continues to show me the Check In dialog windows

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Ok, that is strange!

[m_zano]

Shoud it works? Inventor continue to show me the Dialog....do you see some errors?

Imports Inventor
Imports Connectivity.Inventor.Forms
Imports Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin

Public Class Form1

Dim invApp As Inventor.Application
Dim inventorAppType As Type = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Inventor.Application")

Private Sub ButtonTest_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonTest.Click

invApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")

Connectivity.Inventor.Forms.SuppressCheckInDialog.SuppressSetting = True
invApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultCheckinTop").Execute2(False)

Debug.Print(Connectivity.Inventor.Forms.SuppressCheckInDialog.SuppressSetting)

End Sub

End Class

Did you use this too?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Hi,

(I think) This only works with an Add-in.

You use it as application and that does not work!

Hi

thank you very much ... I have developed a simple addIn and now it works.

I have another (last) question ... do you know if is possible to set or change this answers via API?

Thank you

See one of my ideas for the Vault prompts.

So answer: This is not implemented yet!

Hi there,

I am also wondering if this is possible since unloading the addin isnt the best solution. Is there any progress on this issue or a good workaround?

all the best,

Tobi
