PresentationObject doesn't support Rebuild method?

[WK-VA]

Hi all,

Why does this

' I know it's an IPN file!
Set oModelDoc = oDrawingView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
' Either this...
oModelDoc.Rebuild 
' ...or this
oModelDoc.Rebuild2 (True)

 fail with Runtime error 445 "Object doesn't support this action"?

The documentation clearly states that Rebuild as well as Rebuild2 are methods of Document and PresentationDocument class...?

Thanks in advance!

Because an Ipn cannot be rebuild!

Only the referenced Assembly can be rebuild.

Try this:

Dim d As Inventor.DrawingDocument = ThisDrawing.Document
Dim v As Inventor.DrawingView = d.Views.Item(1)
' I know it's an IPN file!
Dim omodeldoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument
omodeldoc = v.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument

Dim adoc As Inventor.Document = omodeldoc.ReferencedDocuments.Item(1)
adoc.Rebuild
adoc.Rebuild

Well, by trial and error, I noticed, that

Rebuild

Rebuild2

Update2

are not supported by PresentationDocument, while

Update

seems to be supported.

On the other hand, then your documentation seems to be completely off... (See attached screenshots, I'm obviously too dumb to include them into the posting right now...)

I thought that at least the VBA object browser reference sheets would be generated automatically, based on the respective classes definitions?

That seems to be not correctly documented than!

[WK-VA]

That's what I think as well...

Just for clarification: Are you member of the official Autodesk team?

If yes, then I would consider your statement as an official confirmation of the facts and thus mark the topic as solved.

Hi @WK-VA 

I am an Autodesk Expert Elite Member and not part of the Autodesk Team.

So the statement is only a assumption!

@johnsonshiue could you ask the development team for a confirmation!
