Sheet Sets in VB

[Anonymous]

I am trying to write a program in VB6 to automate the plotting of sheet set packages. It works great until I get to the point where I atcually have to access the AutoCAD ActiveX control.

I have added the reference to AcSmComponents16 1.0 Type Library, as any of the other Autodesk components that I think might be needed.

However, I get the error:

"Specified module cannot be found"
on this line:

Set ssm = CreateObject("AcSmComponents.AcSmSheetSetMgr")

Partial sample code:

'has the user selected a drawing package
If lstdst.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "You must select a drawing package to plot."
Exit Sub
End If

' open the database
'create the db filestring
dstname = lstdst.Text
msgstring = "selected package = " & dstname
MsgBox msgstring
If dstname = "WGVU 179051" Then
dstname = "wgvu.dst"
End If
If dstname = "OETA 388041" Then
dstname = "oeta.dst"
End If
If dstname = "PAPPAS 144051" Then
dstname = "pappas.dst"
End If
If dstname = "SALES SAMPLE PACKAGE" Then
dstname = "sample sales dwgs.dst"
End If


filestring = "\\signastor\engineering\sheet sets\" & dstname
msgstring = "selected package = " & filestring
MsgBox msgstring

Set ssm = CreateObject("AcSmComponents.AcSmSheetSetMgr")
Set db = ssm.OpenDatabase(filestring, True)
' lock the database
Call db.LockDb(db)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think you need to use the GetInterfaceObject form of calling the library.

Nope, that doesn't help.

I think the problem might be with the CreateObject call and not with the Autodesk library, so I am looking at that.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ssm As AcSmSheetSetMgr
Set ssm = CreateObject("AcSmComponents16.AcSmSheetSetMgr") 'note the "16"
Set db = ssm.OpenDatabase(filestring, True)
End Sub

This gave me a '429' - ActiveX component can't create object.

Do I need to bind to AutoCAD before I jump into the ssm code section?

That is exactly the same error I am getting...ok, it may well be that the API does not work with VB, only with VBA...and I absolutely will not work in VBA (too restrictive). I am checking with Autodesk as well.

Joe's earlier suggestion that you use the GetInterfaceObject method of the AcadApplication class is most likely correct. Calling CreateObject from within a running instance of AutoCAD is not at all like calling CreateObject from a standalone application. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Assuming you all are using 2005, all you need to do is add a reference to the ACSMCOMPONENTS16Lib file. There is no need for Get/CreateObject or using the GetInterface.

I could not get your code to work. Clarifying that you are using Visual Studio VB6 (or better) and NOT VBA.

The code broke on the first If Not statement for me - specified module not found.

Thanks, everyone, for their efforts!

You cannot use the SSM from an out-of-process ActiveX client. I won't get into the gory details, other than that the SSM is not OLE Automation- compatible, which is necessary in order for it to be accessable from a remote process. If you're using VB and working with a standalone windows application, you will need to build an ActiveX DLL that acts as an intermediary between the standalone app and the Sheet Set API. The ActiveX DLL can encapsulate the code that talks to the SSM (in the DLL code, you must use the 'new' keyword to create the AcSmSheetSetMgr instance, the GetInterfaceObject method will not work for this type of interface). If you're serious about AutoCAD programming, my first piece of advice for you, is to learn how to build and use ActiveX DLLs in VB, as they are essential for serious AutoCAD development. -- http://www.caddzone.com AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 http://www.acadxtabs.com "elise_moss" wrote in message news:30201867.1109359175185.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum2.autodesk.com... >I could not get your code to work.

See my other post, and visit MSDN and read up on what 'OLE Automation-compatible' means, and the limitations on ActiveX/COM servers that do not meet that requirement (as is the case with the SSM API). It has nothing to do with managed/unmanaged code. It is about in-process verses cross-process ActiveX. The SSM can be used from VB, provided the client is loaded into AutoCAD's process (e.g., an ActiveX DLL loaded with the GetInterfaceObject method). Since VBA is inherently an in-process client, there is no problem using SSM from there. -- http://www.caddzone.com AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 http://www.acadxtabs.com "Jimmy Bergmark" wrote in message news:4220b180_2@newsprd01... > Can you then answer the question how SSM can be used in VB? > Or is it just so that SSM API can only be used in managed code unless within VBA within AutoCAD? > > -- > Best Regards, Jimmy Bergmark > CAD and Database Developer Manager at www.pharmadule-emtunga.com > Blog: http://jtbworld.blogspot.com > JTB FlexReport (FLEXnet / FLEXlm report tool) - www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport > SmartPurger (Purges automatically) - www.jtbworld.com/?/smartpurger.htm > or download some freeware at www.jtbworld.com > More on AutoCAD 2005; > www.jtbworld.com/autocad2005.htm > > > "Tony Tanzillo" wrote in message news:42208bb6$1_2@newsprd01... >> "Jimmy Bergmark" wrote >> >>> The SSM API is based on managed code and cannot be used with VB. >> >> The SSM API is not based on managed code. >> >> -- >> http://www.caddzone.com >> >> AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 >> http://www.acadxtabs.com >> >> > >

Almost forgot, there is one other requirement needed to use the SSM from an in-process VB ActiveX DLL, which is that the DLL code that calls the SSM must be executing in the application context. In other words, you can't load the dll from a Visual LISP function because the Visual LISP code executes in the document context, not the application context. To load a VB ActiveX dll that uses the SSM, you will need to use VBA. This requirement is mainly because the SSM has methods that open and activate documents, which as I'm sure you know, cannot be done from code that is running in the document context. -- http://www.caddzone.com AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 http://www.acadxtabs.com "Jimmy Bergmark" wrote in message news:4220b180_2@newsprd01... > Can you then answer the question how SSM can be used in VB? > Or is it just so that SSM API can only be used in managed code unless within VBA within AutoCAD? > > -- > Best Regards, Jimmy Bergmark > CAD and Database Developer Manager at www.pharmadule-emtunga.com > Blog: http://jtbworld.blogspot.com > JTB FlexReport (FLEXnet / FLEXlm report tool) - www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport > SmartPurger (Purges automatically) - www.jtbworld.com/?/smartpurger.htm > or download some freeware at www.jtbworld.com > More on AutoCAD 2005; > www.jtbworld.com/autocad2005.htm > > > "Tony Tanzillo" wrote in message news:42208bb6$1_2@newsprd01... >> "Jimmy Bergmark" wrote >> >>> The SSM API is based on managed code and cannot be used with VB. >> >> The SSM API is not based on managed code. >> >> -- >> http://www.caddzone.com >> >> AcadXTabs: MDI Document Tabs for AutoCAD 2004/2005 >> http://www.acadxtabs.com >> >> > >
