Use Template to add Document gives Style conflict

[dominiek_vanwest]

Hi,

I want to add a new assembly based on our Template. I've tried all the below codes. However I keep getting a style conflict but I don't get this when I manually add a new assembly myself.

What could be the problem here and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

oAssDoc = oApp.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject, oApp.FileManager.GetTemplateFile(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject))

or

oAssDoc = oApp.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject, oApp.DesignProjectManager.DesignProjects.ItemByName("Vault").TemplatesPath & "\Standard.iam", True)

or

oAssDoc = oApp.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject, oApp.DesignProjectManager.ActiveDesignProject.TemplatesPath & "\Standard.iam", True)

You need to update the styles in the styles library or update the template with the styles library.

This is a default inventor message you will get when there is a style conflict.

You also get that when you create a new file if messages are not suppressed by the user. Never show this message again.

Thank you Arthur for the reply.

I looked through the prompts (under Application Options) but I can't find this particular message. Also all the Prompt are set on Always.

Is there another way to get this message to pop-up again?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Reset application options?

Are you using a different style library when using your code, that would also explain the message.

[dominiek_vanwest]

In my code there is nothing to set which Library I should use.

I looked a bit further and found there is this conflict in the template but it's not in the Inventor Material Library but in the Autodesk Material Library.

But I still don't understand why I do get the message when I use my code and why I don't get the message when I manually use the template when creating a new assembly.

I tried adjusting the template. I select Yes for Update here:

But then I get a conflict in the Inventor Material Library:

So I keep going back and forth....

I have this issue seen too.

Remove the library that you do not use from the ipj file.

[dominiek_vanwest]

Removing the library from the ipj file didn't work.

I see we also have a style conflict with another library, which is called RAL_Appearance (see pic below).

I tried to update that library with the style which gave a conflict and this worked all fine. Untill I closed and opened Inventor again, then the style conflicts were back. Is that because my colleagues use the same library and even though I update the library it's not actually updated or is it something else? And how can I actually update the style?

Is your style library file(s) located on your PC, like in the default install location, or is it located on a shared network location?  If located on shared network location, and others projects are all pointing to the same file at the same time, then it may not let you update that style library file properly.  It may be a situation where there must be no other references to the file when you update it for the update to stick properly.  If the file is local, and there are no other Inventor users logged into your PC but you, then it should be able to update OK.  But I noticed you have a project named "Vault".  Are you using Vault?  If so, is it possible that may have something to do with it?

[dominiek_vanwest]

Our libraries are on a network so I think I'll have to ask the colleagues to close Inventor first to change anything to the libraries.

In the meantime I found a solution so the message doesn't pop up anymore. I just added this to my code:

oApp.SilentOperation = True
