Vault API – ERROR 109 when checking in a drawing while the referenced model is checked out

[mateusz_baczewski]

Hi everyone,
I’m running into an issue with the Autodesk Vault API when trying to check in a drawing file (.idw).
If the referenced model (.ipt / .iam) used on that drawing is checked out, I always get this error:

It seems that Vault is blocking the drawing check-in because one of its dependencies (the model) is checked out or out of date.
Has anyone encountered this issue and found a way to check in a drawing even when the referenced model is checked out?

public void UpdateFile(Connection vaultConn, DrawingDocument drawingDocument, ACW.File drawingFile, FileAcquisitionResult fileResult)
{
    Stream fileCont = new FileStream(drawingDocument.FullFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    byte[] fileContents = new byte[fileCont.Length];
    //ByteArray uploadTicket = UploadFileResource(vaultConn.WebServiceManager, drawingDocument.FullFileName, fileContents);
    FileAssocArray[] drawAssoc = vaultConn.WebServiceManager.DocumentService
        .GetLatestFileAssociationsByMasterIds(new long[] { drawingFile.MasterId }, 
        FileAssociationTypeEnum.None, 
        false, 
        FileAssociationTypeEnum.Dependency, 
        false, 
        false, 
        false, 
        false);
 
    List<ACW.FileAssocParam> mFileAssocParams = new List<ACW.FileAssocParam>();
    if (drawAssoc.FirstOrDefault().FileAssocs != null)
    {
        foreach (ACW.FileAssoc item in drawAssoc.FirstOrDefault().FileAssocs)
        {
            ACW.FileAssocParam mFileAssocParam = new ACW.FileAssocParam();
            mFileAssocParam.CldFileId = item.CldFile.Id;
            mFileAssocParam.ExpectedVaultPath = item.ExpectedVaultPath;
            mFileAssocParam.RefId = item.RefId;
            mFileAssocParam.Source = item.Source;
            mFileAssocParam.Typ = item.Typ;

            mFileAssocParams.Add(mFileAssocParam);
        }
    }
    string localPath = drawingDocument.FullDocumentName;
    drawingDocument.Close();
    
    FileIteration mUploadedFile = vaultConn.FileManager.CheckinFile(fileResult.File,
        "Aktualizacja styli",
        false,
        mFileAssocParams.ToArray(),
        null,
        false,
        null,
        ACW.FileClassification.DesignDocument,
        false,
        fileResult.LocalPath);

    fileCont.Dispose();
    fileCont.Close();

    if (System.IO.File.Exists(localPath))
    {
        System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(localPath);
        fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false;
        fileInfo.Delete();
    }
}
