Project file template directory not being read by ilogic rule

[tmathieson]

Hello to All,

i am having an issue with  the template directory being read by an ilogic rule.  we have set up a project that points the template directory to the server folder on the server.  in Inventor, if I create a "create new drawing" icon, the proper directory is shown, and i see all the options for different drawing templates.  however, when i run the rule, it looks for my files in the standard "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2023\Templates\en-US\" directory...

 I use these line of code to get the template directory, but instead of returning the server directory I am looking for, and set in the Project file, it returns the directory above

strLocation = ThisApplication.FileOptions.TemplatesPath
Logger.Debug(strLocation)

 short of hard coding the server directory in to the rule,  or changing the defaults in application options, there a way to force Inventor/ilogic to see the template directory in the project file, instead of the 'standard' shown under file options

thanks for any and all suggestions!

If you want to get templates path of active project, you need to use different property

Dim defaultTemplates = ThisApplication.FileOptions.TemplatesPath
Dim projectTemplates = ThisApplication.DesignProjectManager.ActiveDesignProject.TemplatesPath

Logger.Info("defaultTemplates: {0}", defaultTemplates)
Logger.Info("projectTemplates: {0}", projectTemplates)
