How to NOT run an "After Open Document" rule event trigger?

[Anonymous]

I have mistakenly created a monster! 

I have many drawing files that run a rule on the trigger "After Open Document", but I have a minor, but costly, error in this rule (local rule in each file, copied from template).

Is there a way to open a file, but defer any triggers or rules from running?

(The rule was supposed to defer updates. My mistake is that it un-defers and thus updates the model, ruining the drawing.)

If you use FastOpen through the API, it should leave the model disconnected from the drawing, which should give you time to change things.

That seems like it would work, but I am a hopeless Copy-Jockey when it comes to iLogic

Dim oFileDlg As Inventor.FileDialog = Nothing
Call ThisApplication.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)

oFileDlg.InitialDirectory = ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()

Call oFileDlg.ShowOpen()

Documents.OpenWithOptions( oFileDlg.FileName, FastOpen, True)

I'm sure I need to Dim [something] As [whoknows] for the Documents part to work, but my mind has just melted.

I would be grateful if you could help me with what I need to make this work.

Dim oFileDlg As Inventor.FileDialog = Nothing
Call ThisApplication.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)

oFileDlg.InitialDirectory = ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()

Call oFileDlg.ShowOpen()

Dim oOptions As NameValueMap
oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
oOptions.Add("FastOpen", "true")

ThisApplication.Documents.OpenWithOptions(oFileDlg.FileName, oOptions, True)
