Save command during OnNewView Event causes inventor 2008 SP3 to crash

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a c# .net 2.0 AddIn I am writing for Inventor 2008. In a nutshell the AddIn needs to monitor files as they open, check/update their iProprerties then perform a save. However, since installing SP3 (also SP2 has the problem) when I issue a save from within the OnNewView Event, Inventor locks up then eventually crashes. This has previously been ok in Inventor 11 and Inventor 2008 SP0. I can reproduce the error with the code below:

void AppEvents_OnNewView(View ViewObject, EventTimingEnum BeforeOrAfter, NameValueMap Context, out HandlingCodeEnum HandlingCode)

{

try

{

if (BeforeOrAfter == EventTimingEnum.kAfter)

{

//Add a new iProperty

ViewObject.Document.PropertySets["{D5CDD505-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE}"].Add("Test2", "TestVal", null);

//Save the file

ViewObject.Document.Save();

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

}

finally

{

HandlingCode = HandlingCodeEnum.kEventHandled;

}

}

No error is raised in the error trap and control is correctly handed back to Inventor which then locks up and crashes. If I run the code above but comment out the Save() it never crashes.

Whilst it seems strange to perform a save during the opening of a document it is essential the AddIn works this way.

Any ideas why this happens???

Many thanks,

Adrian.

Furthur to my last post this actually effects all version of Inventor 2008 not just SP2 & SP3.

Also, here is my code again formatted correctly (hopefully).

{code}

void AppEvents_OnNewView(View ViewObject, EventTimingEnum BeforeOrAfter, NameValueMap Context, out HandlingCodeEnum HandlingCode)
{
try
{
if (BeforeOrAfter == EventTimingEnum.kAfter)
{
//Add a new iProperty
ViewObject.Document.PropertySets["{D5CDD505-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE}"].Add("Test2", "TestVal", null);
//Save the file
ViewObject.Document.Save();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
finally
{
HandlingCode = HandlingCodeEnum.kEventHandled;
}
}

{code}
