Open IDW with Apprentice.OpenWithOptions method HELP

[Raider_71]

Hi I have created a batch printer using VB.net but are having issues when some of the idw files have unresolved references and I get HRESULT errors etc and then crash. I use Apprentice server and have noticed that there is a method OpenwithOptions that can be used. I have tried specifying SkipallunresolvedFiles in a Namevaluemap but with no luck. See code:

Dim oDocOpenOptions As NameValueMap

oDocOpenOptions = oApprentice2.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap

oDocOpenOptions.Add("SkipAllUnresolvedFiles", True)

oApprDoc = oApprentice2.OpenWithOptions(lstBox1.Items.Item(i), oDocOpenOptions)

Dim oApprDrgPrintMgr As ApprenticeDrawingPrintManager

oApprDrgPrintMgr = oApprDoc.PrintManager

Any ideas?

Thanks

I would also know about this. Having the same issue. Can do it with an Inventor App object but as soon as you use Apprentice the .OpenwithOptions dont seem to work.

Hi,

Unfortunately in case of "OpenWithOptions" and the "SkipAllUnresolvedFiles" options, Apprentice doesn't support it yet. We have logged a wish about that to our engineering team but it has not been implemented yet. I guess there is no workaround while using Apprentice at the moment.

Sorry for the bad news.

Regards,

Philippe.
