System.NotImplementedException inventor presentation file on update function.

[Anonymous]

I try to update a presentation file, but it always throws an error. System.NotImplementedException

is somethink missing in the inventor API?

the update function works on all other filetypes but not on a Presentation file?

the save function works on presentation files but not the update or update2 function.

somebody please help. see code below.

Regards Kent boettger

 Private Sub TryUpdatePresentation()

        m_InvApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")

        Dim x_CurrentDoc As Inventor.Document

        x_CurrentDoc = m_InvApp.ActiveEditDocument

        Dim thisdoctype As DocumentTypeEnum = m_InvApp.ActiveEditDocument.DocumentType

        If thisdoctype = DocumentTypeEnum.kPresentationDocumentObject Then

            Dim x_PresentDoc As Inventor.PresentationDocument = m_InvApp.ActiveEditDocument

            x_PresentDoc.Update()

            MsgBox("Presentation file Update OK!")

        End If

        If thisdoctype = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then

            Dim x_AssemblyDoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = m_InvApp.ActiveEditDocument

            x_AssemblyDoc.Update()

            MsgBox("Assembly file update OK!")

        End If

        If thisdoctype = DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject Then

            Dim x_DrawingDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument = m_InvApp.ActiveEditDocument

            x_DrawingDoc.Update()

            MsgBox("Drawing file update OK!")

        End If

        If thisdoctype = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then

Hi Kent,

Yes, that seems to be correct.

I cannot see an update button in the UI either - under the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)

I don't have much experience with presentation documents, but could you tell me what you are trying to achieve?

How do you get a presentation document into a state that it needs an update?

I change some iProperties? for example.

[adam.nagy]

Can you drive something in a presentation document with an iProperty, or how does that make the presentation view out-of-date requiring an Update?

Can you just provide some steps to get to a point when doing an Update would change the presentation view?

Also how do you update in the UI?
