Skipping question ' save changes to ... and its dependents? '

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a little problem:

When I save my assembly (Assemblydoc.save) my VB-routine stops and I get the question: "Do you want to save changes to ... and its dependents?"

Is it possible to skip this question and automatically save the assembly and his dependents?

Greets,
Peter

Try this:

oApp.SilentOperation = True

Assemblydoc.Save

oApp.SilentOperation = False

When SilentOperation is True, Inventor doesn't
display any dialogs but proceeds using what the default of the dialog would have
been.

Try this:

      Dim oFileSaveAs As
FileSaveAs

        Set
oFileSaveAs = oApprentice.FileSaveAs

        Call
oFileSaveAs.AddFileToSave(oDoc,
SvAs)
        Call
oFileSaveAs.ExecuteSave

Where do you put that code?

[MechMachineMan]

After you assign the application object variable and before you start doing anything with it, then also add the inverse before your code exits.

[Anonymous]

The API includes a Document.Save2 Method (PartDocument, AssemblyDocument, DrawingDocument, PresentationDocument as well) that saves the document and dependent documents. This would prevent the need to mess around with the Application object. This is directly from the API docs. NOTE the RED text in the Remarks section.

Document.Save2 Method

Document.Save2 Method

Parent Object: Document

Description

Method that saves the document and the specified dependent documents.

Syntax

Document.Save2( [SaveDependents] As Boolean, [DocumentsToSave] As Variant )

Parameters

Name	Description
SaveDependents	Optional input Boolean that specifies whether or not to save dependent documents that have been dirtied. Defaults to True indicating that the dependents will be saved. If the DependentsToSave argument is not specified, all dirty dependents are saved. If the argument is specified as False, only this document will be saved. The argument is ignored if the document doesn't have any dependents needing save.
DocumentsToSave	Optional input ObjectCollection that contains the Document objects to save. Use the Document.AllReferencedDocuments property to iterate over all dependent documents and find the ones that need to be saved (i.e. Dirty property returns True). If the SaveDependents argument is True and this argument is not specified, all dirty documents are saved. The argument is ignored if the document doesn't have any dependents needing save.

Remarks

If the document has never been saved, calling this method prompts the user for a file name just like the Save method. Calling Document.Save2 without specifying any arguments results in the dirty dependents getting saved. The "Save Dependents" dialog is not displayed (the Save method does display the dialog).

Version

Introduced in Inventor version 2010
