Inventor new instance on close

[NachoShaw]

Hey

im having a small issue with an invisible document appearing in my taskbar when i close inventor. This appears mainly after i run my app so i mustn't be closing something properly. In summary, here is my document open / save close process

1. Import step file using translator (no open file before import)

Call oSTEPTranslator.Open(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions, oTarget)

2. Create a document view from the import

Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document = oTarget
oDoc.Views.Add()

3. Process all of the components in this document (not saved yet)

4. Rebuild & update active assembly (document from step 1)

5. Create a temp doc to hold the original ActiveDoc

Dim OldDoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = AddinGlobal.InventorApp.ActiveDocument

6. SaveAs the current ActiveDoc into a new location

 AddinGlobal.InventorApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(PathRoot & AssyName & ".iam", True)

7. Open the newly saved document as a new assembly

Dim NewDoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = AddinGlobal.InventorApp.Documents.Open(PathRoot & AssyName & ".iam", True)

8. Close the old doc that i created as the ActiveDoc prior to saving

OldDoc.Close(True)

9. Iterate assembly and SaveAs all components then replacing them in the assembly for the saved ones

This should leave 1 assembly active (the new one) and the old ones closed or is that not the case? Does item 2 actually create another document and is that the rogue document? Somewhere in this process is an invisible document. For every other process, i pass the ActiveDocument through instead creating document instances for example-

Private Sub DoSomething()
'process stuff here
Call NextSub(_InvApp.ActiveDocument)
End Sub

Private Sub NextSub(ByRef CurrDoc As AssemblyDocument)
'do something with CurrDoc
End Sub

The problem highlights when a new project is initiated as all documents need to be closed...

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

A little hard to follow, but kind of sounds like this built-in iLogic Sub may be able to help.

Dim oDoc As Document
oDoc.ReleaseReference

I only put the Dim oDoc As Document, in there to activate iLogic Rule Editor's intellisense type ability, to show what id does.
