Updating Title Block using ApprenticeServer

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to modify the Drawing Revision entered in an INV Drawing file using ApprenticeServer without opening the INV Drawing file explicitely in Inventor application?

Please help.

Yes, you can modify file properties of a document using Apprentice. The
titleblock will be updated the next time the document is opened in Inventor.

Sanjay,
Can u please elaborate on how to do this?
I tried getting the Document sheet. But there are no methods further to get the Title Block of the Drawing.

I am attaching the piece of code which i have used.
Any help would be very much appriciated.


Thanks and regards,
Nagarajan R

Code:

Set oApprenticeServerDoc = oApprenticeApp.Open(txtFilename.Text)
If oApprenticeServerDoc Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Unable to open the specified document."
Exit Sub
End If

oApprenticeServerDoc.Sheets(1).TitleBlock
??? This does not work

I believe that you can only access the iProperties of the IDW, but getting
the Prompted Entries from a TitleBlock is not supported (Sanjay, please
correct me if I am wrong)

So you meant to say this has to be done as two step process:
Step 1. Using the apprentice server, first update the iProperties.
Step 2. Using a macro then update the title block when the drawing is opened in Inventor next time.

Is that correct?

Please reply. Thanks.

The Title Block will update automaticly when you open the drawing in
Inventor, so you will not need a macro for that.
