He is correct that you must open it, but you can just open it invisibly, update it, save it, run your code, and close it.

Hi!

 

It's a very bad idea to have 3D ilogic and 2d documents open at the same time.

Usually is a can of error alerts and malfunctions.

 

The best workflow is: configure the 3D Model.... close it............... and finnally open the 2d documents to document the model to production, purchases, etc.
