Need help with Inventor VBA to do actions during Save Events

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm working on a project for my company where I takes documents from AutoCAD 2015 and Inventor 2015 and make copies of them during the save event to be placed in a different directory so they can be converted to .pdfs. I have this done in AutoCAD and was now just trying to do in Inventor as well. However, even though I was able to find the vba editor easily enough in Inventor 2015, I can not seem to find a working function that interacts with Inventor whenever the user saves. Once I find a way to interact with it I should be all right with the coding I already did for the AutoCAD side.

Also, is there a way to save the coding in a seperate file, like .dvb for AutoCAD?

If you have Inventor on your computer go find the

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2014\Local Help\admapi_18_0.chm file and check it out. It's a good reference to start with for inventor.

(Also found by going to Programming Help through the question mark in the top right on the open inventor window)

I'm not sure for VBA but there are triggers that will run iLogic rules. see the attached screenshot.

To add, using Ken's method requires changing templates and may no work the greatest for already created files.

Hello, thanks for look at my post and offering suggestions, but it's my fault for not being specfic in the first post. I'm working in the VBA and would like to do something like this code I have for AutoCAD, but use it instead for Inventor:

"Private Sub AcadDocument_BeginClose()
Dim name As String
name = ThisDrawing.name
ThisDrawing.SaveAs "C:\otherDirectory\TEMPLATE\test\" & name
End Sub"

I'm saving it in the other directory s a backup and for conversion purporses later.

Also does the Inventor VBA have some similar to "Private Sub AcadDocument_EndSave(ByVal FileName As String)" and "Private Sub AcadDocument_BeginSave(ByVal FileName As String)" functions?
