Solidworks Export Edrawing API Problem

2D plans Layout
1

Hello
After searching for a long time in vain, I decided to post my problem, I hope you can help me.

I made a macro that saves my drawings in e-drawing. So far no problem, the problem is that when there are several sheets to save Solidworks displays a popup window asking me which sheets I want to save. I have a large amount of plan to export so, I would like it to happen in batch without the need for intervention.
Is there a way to delete this window a bit like an "Application.DisplayAlerts=False" like in excel?

Thank you in advance for your help.

PS: I don't want to go through the task scheduler because my macro does a small operation before exporting to edrawing ;-)

Hello

If you disable alerts, your code will no longer work since it does not manage sheets.

To do this, you need to use the "SaveAs" method: http://help.solidworks.com/2015/english/api/sldworksapi/SOLIDWORKS.Interop.sldworks~SOLIDWORKS.Interop.sldworks.IModelDocExtension~SaveAs.html

 

Then in the "Options" settings, indicate "swSaveAsOptions_UpdateInactiveViews"

As shown here: http://help.solidworks.com/2015/english/api/swconst/SOLIDWORKS.Interop.swconst~SOLIDWORKS.Interop.swconst.swSaveAsOptions_e.html

 

See you

Hello remrem,

What you offer only activates all the sheets when I save, but the window still shows up

Hello .PL,

Unfortunately no, I've already looked in this direction.

Thank you for responding.

I'm starting to despair, I have the impression that there is no solution :-s

In fact this should work:

Yeeesss it works thank you very much, what a time saver!

So I used the following function:

Part.SaveAs "NewName.EDRW", swSaveAsVersion_e.swSaveAsCurrentVersion, swSaveAsOptions_SaveReferenced+swSaveAsOptions_Silent, Nothing, nErrors, nWarnings

it works without a hitch Thank you.PL
