Hi there,
I’m currently working on what should have been a quick project that manages our internal file releases, and I’m trying to use the pack and go interface through COM. I’ve written a small python wrapper to the com interface, and am just running into my first major roadblock. Basically when I run the IModelDoc2.Extension.GetPackandGo function I get an error thrown out that says “ Parameter not Optional” and I can’t seem to get around this. It seems to me from the online help that the only parameter going into this function is the modeldoc extension that is passed in by the fact that get pack and go is a member function of the interface. Is there something I’m missing? The code shown below is a quick snippet that shows the problem. It is python code, but I hope the comments help illustrate the problem. The output is shown just below the code in a light blue. Below that is the code that is generated by the python com library that I am using to wrap the interface. So clearly it’s COM parser is showing no other variables necessary for working.
