Inventor hangs when running drawing ilogic code with application set to invisible

[johnster100]

Hi,

I've written some code which moves views and dimension on some drawings to update them.

The code works fine when inventor is visible but fails when I switch the application to invisible (I'm running invisible to try and speed it up).

The code does not crash but instead just hangs with the cpu dropping to 0% for for the inventor application. If you wait around 5minutes the code will then continue to run. I only seem to get this behaviour on more complex assembly drawings (piece part drawings run fine).

I've attached visual studio to the process and the error / strange behaviour always occurs when retrieving view information (such as oView.Width or oView.Height). 

Is this a known behaviour?

thanks,

John

can be that there is now a hidden dialog that wait for answer.

us also inventorapp.silentoperation = true when inventorapp.visible = false is used.
