Triggered iLogicCode only working on one machine

[RNDinov8r]

So, I have this code (I believe it is a provided snippet verbatum) that I run on the close of every drawing.

' Get the DXF translator Add-In.
Dim DXFAddIn As TranslatorAddIn
DXFAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{C24E3AC4-122E-11D5-8E91-0010B541CD80}")
'Set a reference to the active document (the document to be published).
Dim oDocument As Document
oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oContext As TranslationContext
oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism
' Create a NameValueMap object
Dim oOptions As NameValueMap
oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
' Create a DataMedium object
Dim oDataMedium As DataMedium
oDataMedium = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium
' Check whether the translator has 'SaveCopyAs' options
If DXFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDocument, oContext, oOptions) Then
Dim strIniFile As String
strIniFile = "C:\temp\dxfout.ini"
' Create the name-value that specifies the ini file to use.
oOptions.Value("Export_Acad_IniFile") = strIniFile
End If
'Set the destination file name
oDataMedium.FileName = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False) & ".dxf"
'Publish document.
DXFAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)
'Launch the dxf file in whatever application Windows is set to open this document type with

When I set the trigger to run "On Close" in the drawings tab, it works fine on my machine. But it seems every other Engineering that uses this, gets an error when they close the drawing. I can't for the life of me figure out why that would be. We all point to the same directories. Even if they manually run it, they still get the same message.

is this available for all machines?

strIniFile = "C:\temp\dxfout.ini"

Could you upload that file

Try to change this:

'Set the destination file name
oDataMedium.FileName = oDocument.PathAndFileName(False) & ".dxf"
'Publish document.
DXFAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)

That ini file does not even exist on my machine that I can see (Unless it is something that is being temporarily created and then removed.

When I made that change to "oDocument", then the code wouldn't run on my machine either...

Take a look if these settings are the same for each machine:

Another place to check for that ini file is at the following location is under your "Design Data\ DWG-DXF\" folder.  That's where the default ones are located, and might be where your custom one is (if you have a custom one).  This is an example of the full path where that folder would default to, if you haven't changed it:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2021\Design Data\DWG-DXF\

(of course the inventor version part might be different)

Anyways, if multiple user are running this code from different PC's, that file needs to either be on a shared network location where everyone can point to it, or there needs to be a copy of the same file in the same place on everyones PC's, to avoid errors.
