Please see the attached dwg file.
It references a font that is missing
When I open the file in AutoCAD via File->Open and giving the path of the dwg file,
after open, AutoCAD gives an error alert that the font file is missing
This is fine.
BUT
When I open the same file, in the same setup without any changes
but run via a API call , then I do not see this alert why ??
API call is something like this
Application.Documents.Open "C:\Test\missing.dwg"
My Question is
On the same setup without any changes, If file is opened via API , no alert for missing font is shown, whereas Opening via AutoCAD UI shows alert"
WHY??
How can we enable the alert using ARX/COM/VBA?
