Update and Rebuild

[Anonymous]

What is the Update and Rebuild properties for DrawingDocuments supposed to
do? Why does both of these lines throw a error?

Dim oDDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
oDDoc.Update
oDDoc.Rebuild

Kent,

I use this method (with no error) to update the model: ( the RaiseEvent is
there because its part of an Inventor Class Model I have built)..

Public Function UpdateModel() As Boolean

On Error (edited)

'Update the entire document
Set invDocument = invApp.ActiveDocument
invDocument.Update

'Update and Fit to window in one command
'invApp.ActiveView.Fit True

'Zoom All
With invApp.CommandManager
    .StartCommand kZoomAllCommand
    .StopActiveCommand
End With

'Raise Update event
RaiseEvent UpdateComplete

'Return success
UpdateModel = True

Exit Function

Hell:
    UpdateModel = False

End Function

Thanks for the reply, but is this for a drawing document? I have no
problems with the methods for parts and assemblies, but with idw files I do.

Ps. I find your error routine interesting coding style, but probably not
really appropriate for the Autodesk Server.

These two methods are on the Document object which means that all document
types inherit them. They are not currently supported on Drawing documents.

Thanks Brian... I didn't really think they fit in the Drawing Document
object... maybe a note in the help page for the DrawingDocument Object page
saying they aren't supported there would be helpful.
