ActiveCommand

How to get the ActiveCommand from my CommandControl Execute, or why is this not set?

Background:

I've more commands added to Inventor.

Also I attached to some Inventor Events.

The problem (or missing internal Inventor functionality) is that the CommandManager.ActiveCommand will not be set.

Also the NameValueMap didn't have this information.

Of course I can set my own internal variable to the Command, but all other Addins / Inventor self didn't known this...

Or did I something missing?

Cheers

CommandManager.ActiveCommand gets a string of characters that is the name of the command. By nature, this will only have a value while the ControlDefinition is running.

Can you give specific command that is giving you a problem?

Hello,

indeed what you tell is what I expected.

Samples which are not working are Tube&Pipe or my own command.

There are some more..

Hi Rene,

I could reproduce the behaviour and logged it in our system: #112949

So it seems that the Tube & Pipe commands do not set the name for the interaction - more info here:
