Hello!
I use this piece of code:
http://inventortrenches.blogspot.de/2012/11/ilogic-batch-output-pdfs-from-assembly.html
Which works but the thing is; there are components of the code that are not integrated in ilogic since version 2018.
like the red marked sections below. (Or difference in ilogic and VBA thingy.)
If PDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then
'oOptions.Value("All_Color_AS_Black") = 0
oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = 1
oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
'oOptions.Value("Custom_Begin_Sheet") = 2
'oOptions.Value("Custom_End_Sheet") = 4
End If
So i deleted this parts and the pdf creation works well.
it creates the files in the correct folders and so on. but then there is this error:
System.NullReferenceException: Ungültiger Zeiger (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))
bei Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateGet(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack)
bei Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateGet(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack)
bei LmiRuleScript.Main()
bei Autodesk.iLogic.Exec.AppDomExec.ExecRuleInAssembly(Assembly assem)
bei iLogic.RuleEvalContainer.ExecRuleEval(String execRule)
i guess this error has the same root.
Actually i wonder why the rule is perfectly working, except this error message.
Can anyone tell me which lines i have to delete to get rid of the message?
i looked that up, but the answers here are already included in my code: (callPDFAddin and so on)

My code looks like this now:

Thank you very much.
