I have received some files from our external design office with the extension .nwc and .dgn (software: Autodesk Naviswork) and I cannot used it in my Autodesk Inventor Professional 2011 (Error: "Failed to open document"). They cannot export in step file or others which can be useful for me.
There are two Autodesk softwares and we cannot use data in both?
Is there a way to get a list of the currently open documents in VBA?
Right now to process a bunch of open drawings I simply process the active drawing and then close it, then repeat until all are closed. I'd like to be able to get a list of open documents and switch between them to process them all, which would leave them open.
when I join pdf's that I have exported from Inventor with ones exported from word and other programs. Both files are fine when seperate but once they are joined the other pages text becomes all distorted. This also happens when I join pdf's exported from Inventor with ones exported from AutoCAD.
Using: Autodesk Inventor 2013, Acrobat Pro 9 and AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.
I could not see the preview of the drawing in any document of inventor. The icons shows only a box and not the drawing in miniature. The same happens with all my Autocad drawings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using iLOgic on Inv 2012 to try and close the active document using the following piece of code -
InventorVb.Application.activedocument.Close (True)
This close the document but brings up the following Error msg...
Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
Any better piece of code that shuts down the active document but doesn't return the error? (I only want to shut down one document, not the application)
I need assign automatically, a unipersonal code at file, before saving it. When i do save as or save at the first time, inventor take automatically the name listed over the tree of operations at the left of screen, My problem is, that i can't identify this paramter or property, for assign this code in ilogic.

We have a multi solid bodie part that changes on via suppression to different styles of profile we then need the file naming prefix to chage depending on what key have selected .
ie Parameter = Style with 4 Multi selctions 1,2,3,4
depending on selection picked we then need to change the Solid Bodies Prefix in document settings..
Example :: If style = 1 then Solid Bodies Prefix = Dave
I'm looking to add the name of the person printing the document as well as the date to any paper copies printed. However, since everythign is stored in Vault, this needs to be done without making any changes to the document that require saving the document.
Ideally this would be automatic(requiring no user input).

I have lists of Documents I am altering and saving automatically in a loop, The problem is that if the file needs to be migrated you get a dialog box in your face for every file in the list. How can I temporarally turn the dialog off?
ThisApplication.SaveOptions.PromptSaveForMigration = False
Does not do it.
I can't remember when I first saw the recently-opened-document-list in which you can preview the documents; you hover your mouse above one of the documents listed there, a preview of the document pops up, and if you wait a second longer, underneath the preview some dates are displayed (modified date, Version info etc.). For as long I CAN remember, these dates have always been set to 1-1-0001 0:00:00, see picture below. I hoped that the release of Inventor 2011 solved this issue, but after installing Inventor 2012 this year, this issue has still not been solved. Is this an Inventor issue, or is it Microsofts responsibility?

I am using AutoCAD 2012 and the .NET API. How can i loop through the document objects of all the open documents? i am trying to do something like the code below..
public void GetDocNames() {
DocumentCollection docs = Application.DocumentManager;
for (int i = 0; i < docs.Count; i++) {
AcadDocument doc = docs[i];
Debug.Print(doc.Name);
} }
When a client sends me drawings via email, how do I open them up/upload them to my AutoCad LT program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to change all the DOCUMENTS of the Tile Mode to 0. But, the following code the Active Document changes only. How can I modify the code?
Dim acdc As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager Dim acdoc As Document = acdc.MdiActiveDocument Dim acTile As Integer = Application.GetSystemVariable("TileMode") For Each acdoc In acdc If acTile = 1 Then Application.SetSystemVariable("TILEMODE", 0) End If Next End Sub
I´m using the events "DocumentActivated" and the event "DocumentDestroyed" .
With the "DocumentDestroyed" method I can know how many documents are closed and when is the last..
But, I want to know, how many documents are minimized (deactivated).
It´s to say, there aren´t any active (current) document.

I've run into to some trouble when trying to create an instance of AutoCAD.
In fact, the behavior is strange, and it leads to believe it's not from creating an instance!
Anyways, I'm coming straight from VB6, so I used: Dim rpDoc As AcadApplication
I wonder whether it is possible to add custom attirbutes to AutoCAD Documents. Like, when adding new key-value pairs to the OS registry. I see this as a function that can add a pair "attribute" => "value" to the Document's database (or another saveable component) and later pull the "value" back by passing the "attribute" to another function.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a total beginner at this vb.net thing. I have a vba routine that I have used for years to execute a lisp routine on an open document, then switch to the next already open document, and continue until the routine has been performed on each already open documents. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how in vb.net to get a document collection and make each document the active document so that I can execute the lisp routine.

When loading a previously saved item the preview shows the "complete job lot" however when you load the item it does not load the full drawing and is missing approx 3 hrs of work.
how to load the full document, I have tried the recovery manager which only loads the part document
Below is a picture of the preview working fine

I'm getting a problem regarding getting a document database. I've tested two alternatives:
Alternative1
doc = autoCadApp.DocumentManager.Open(fullpath);
autoCadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = doc;
doc.LockDocument(DocumentLockMode.Write, null, null, false);
Database db = doc.Database
Alternative2
Database db = new Database(true, false);
db.ReadDwgFile(fullpath, FileShare.ReadWrite, false, string.Empty);
Because what I'm trying to do is modify the xref path of documents, and when i detach the xref and then attach the newer xref, if i access the database from the alternative 1, I don't get any error and the xref is updated correctly. But when I use the alternative number 2, when I attach a newer xref i get and ePermantlyErased exception. Shouldn't that be the same? By the way, I need to open the document silently that is why I'm using alternative number 2.
Attached is a zip file with a standalone program to aid in cleaning up the Recent Documents list for all flavors of AutoCAD, 2009-2013.
It's pretty self explanatory, just be sure to run it with no sessions of AutoCAD, or vertical products, running. It should refuse to run if it sees any Acad.exe application in the running tasks list. Once the dialog opens it will show you all of the Autocad related products you have installed, select one and it will fill in the first list of recent documents. Then select a profile for that product and the second list will populate with the SSM related recent documents saved for that profile. You can then select any item from either list, if the same DST filename exists in both lists it will automatically select them both. Use the standard selection methods to select more than one (shift-click, control-click, window).
Be sure to Unblock, if needed, the zip file before extracting the exe file. (Check the file properties)
is there a way to suppress all check dialogs box during opening a document. I need to open a document in "silent mode". Now I have a first dialog for missing Xref, another one for shx font...
How can I set AutoCAD Application to open all document without show this dialogs box? System variables?
Any way to remove the .dst listings in the "Recent Documents" list on the "File" pulldown? We use Civil 3D mostly with dwg files and they are usually pushed off the list because of Sheet Set Manager files. Some of these dst's haven't been opened in weeks? But there still at the top of the list....very unproductive when you have to go searching for a dwg file you were just working on.....

I have created .dwg drawings in AutoCAD LT 2013 and have found that people with older versions of AutoCAD cannot open them. Is there a generic overall version of AutoCAD that I can save my drawings in that would be accessible to all versions of AutoCAD?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe just moved the Autocad LT installation for one of our users to a new computer and now when opening certain documents, we get the below error. The error didn't originally occur on the old machine, but after re-installing it on that machine, we get it there too. Is there a way to clear the error or find out which plugin we are missing? We have tried installing the plugins on the autodesk website, but weren't able to fix the error.

The drawing you have opened or referenced contains custom object created by an unavailable ObjcectARX application. You do not need the original application to display proxy representations of objects that were saved in the drawing. However, many manufacturers, including Autodesk, provide object enablers that also allow you to edit these custom objects.
Visit the AutoCad LT Object Enabler Assistant web page to locate Autodesk object enablers or contact the software publisher about object enablers for other applications.
Note: If your computer has internet access, verify that Check Web for Live Enablers is selected in the Options dialog box on the System tab to have AutoCAD LT automatically search for the Live Enabler website for the appropriate object enabler.

This refers to AC A2011, when looking at the recent documents in the pull-down, it ONLY shows .dst files. Selecting file types is not the solution...
View 3 Replies View RelatedWorking in ACA 2012 on a Windows 7 machine. Noticed that pinning documents in the "Recent Documents" under the main menu is acting goofy. If I pin a document (so that it presumably stays there no matter what) and then open other drawings, the pinned drawing gets pushed down the list just like any other. Eventually, it gets pushed off the list just like all the others.
Is there a system variable I'm not aware of that controls this feature? Or is this just a bug, but since this feature is rarely used no one has noticed it?
I'm currently working on a project that requires that I eTransmit a large quantity of files, which is becoming very time consuming. I need writing a script that will allow me to etransmit all of the files at once.
My requirements:
- All .dwgs must be saved as individual .zip files with all references included.
- .zip file must have same name as associated .dwg (basically just swap extensions).
My progress:
- Seems very simple, basically my script is:
Qsave
-eTransmit
-CH
-SetupName
-C

My problem is that I want to have AutoCAD return the filename sans extension and filepath when I'm prompted to input the filename for the .zip file. How can I do this? I've been looking up options using VBA, but with limited success given.
Any way to stop the recently opened Sheets Sets from showing up? To me, it's highly irritating and they always crowd out my .dwg's. All you have to do is open any sheet file and the Sheet Set Manager opens automatically.

I downloaded a Copy of AutoCAD Recent Documents Manager.exe from the autodesk website and it won't run on any of the computers in our system. I was thinking about writing a LISP routine to delete the filenames with a DST suffix by replacing them with the next filename in the list. My question is If I replace the file with the next one above and the filetime,filepinned and class respectively. When I reach the end of the list can I just use "" for the file,filetime and class and integer 0 for filepinned (it looks like it requires a double).
