Hey Folks,
i have a simple Question: How do i start a new drawing with API and a Custom Template.
I have a drawing template file with full path:"D:\Temp\A0_custom.slddrt" and a document Template: "drawing based 0.drwdot"
The drawing template has a title block on it and a Frame around the sheet. Normaly when i start a no drawing (without API)
then i select the "A0_custom" template and click Ok. A new drawing with my title block is started.
So now i want to do this by API:
'Generate a new Drawing
Dim drwDocument As sldworks.DrawingDoc
Dim drwTemplate As String = "D:\Temp\drawing based 0.drwdot"
Dim papTemplate As String = "D:\Temp\A0_custom.slddrt"
Dim Result As Boolean
'Create a new Drawing
drwDocument = _swApp.INewDocument2(papTemplate, swDwgPaperSizes_e.swDwgPapersUserDefined, 0, 0)
'Setup the Sheet
Result = drwDocument.SetupSheet5("Test1", swDwgPaperSizes_e.swDwgPapersUserDefined, _
swDwgTemplates_e.swDwgTemplateCustom, 1, 10, True, papTemplate, 0.2794, 0.2159, "Default", False)
Dim x As sldworks.ModelDoc2
x = _swApp.ActiveDoc
x.ForceRebuild3(False)
But after the code run through only a blank paper is on the screen, without my title block and the frame.
Why? Could you please tell me what is wrong in my code?
Tanks for help!
