Update all views in a sheet to turn on Associative check box - iLogic

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to turn on the Associative check box for all views in a drawing using iLogic?

Here is what I have so far which does the opposite of what I want:

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheet As Sheet

Dim oDrawView As DrawingView

For Each oSheet In oDrawDoc.Sheets

For Each oDrawView In oSheet.DrawingViews

Representation = oDrawView.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation

If Representation <> "" Then

oDrawView.SetDesignViewRepresentation(Representation, False)
'End If

Next
Next

The problem is that the Representation = "" if the associative box is unchecked. And I require the Representation name to SetDesignViewRepresentation and set the Associative value to True.

Hi @Anonymous,

As Jon indicated, there is a way to turn on/off the "Associative" box is to use DrawingView.SetActiveDesignViewRepresentation("myDVR", True) 

(i.e., it takes an optional second argument that controls the associativity). 

In your case, you have query out all related view name first, but not 100% sure.

@JaneFan, any good idea here?

Thanks!

Hi @Xun.Zhang,

Thanks for your response.

This is exactly my issue, I don't know how to effectively query out all related design view representation names first (if associative tick box is off).

Any ideas?
