is it possible to export in STEP all model state starting from .idw Drawind using Ilogic?

[lukieg66]

Here is actally a code but I can't find a way to access to a ModelState from a Drawing document.

	    ' Export STEP
	    oSTEPData.FileName = oPDFFolder & "\" & oFileName & oRevString & ".stp"
	    oSTEPAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oSTEPContext, oSTEPOptions, oSTEPData)		

I would like to cycle throug the sheet and export the referenced modelstate in step format using the SaveCopyAs metod.

 Thank you so much

Accessing model states from the print can get a little wonky - I've found it works better if you open the document in the background when you're trying to change them. Here's some basic code that'll open it in the background and loop through the model states for you.

'Open document in the background
Dim modelDocument As AssemblyDocument = ThisServer.Documents.Open(fileName, False)
'Get the name of the current model state
Dim currentModelStateName As String = modelDocument.ModelStateName

'Loop through all the model staets in the model
For Each mState As ModelState In modelDocument.ComponentDefinition.ModelStates
	Try
		mState.Activate()
		
		'Export file here
		
	Catch ex As Exception
		Logger.Error("Error on model state " & mState.Name)
		Logger.Error(ex.Message)
	End Try
Next mState

'activate the original model state
modelDocument.ComponentDefinition.ModelStates(modelStateName).Activate
'close the model document
modelDocument.Close()
