One Big Problem, googled, searched in forum - nothing found !

I'd like to save each drawing view with the "saveas" method to iges,

it works if I make a breakpoint on save as !!!, because SE needs some time to open the view

with the StartCommand, (haven't found any mathod for opening the view into viewedit).

So how can i find out SE is busy?

 Dim views As SolidEdgeDraft.DrawingViews = DraftDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews
        For i As Integer = 1 To views.Count

            Dim view As SolidEdgeDraft.DrawingView = views.Item(i)

            Dim NewFullName As String = IgesPath & FileName & "_" & i & ".igs"
            If System.IO.File.Exists(NewFullName) = True Then
                System.IO.File.Delete(NewFullName)
            End If

            Dim ActiveWindowName As String = SE_App.ActiveWindow.Caption
            'OpenView
            view.Select()
            SE_App.StartCommand(40037)

            'SE fnished??

            'Save Iges
            DraftDoc.SaveAs(NewFullName) 'BREAK

            'CloseView
            SE_App.ActiveWindow.close()
            DraftDoc.SelectSet.RemoveAll()
        Next

Hi,

the Idea of ErWo is good. But you can do this without events, like this:

Dim test As String = SE_App.ActiveEnvironment
Do While test <> "DrawingViewEdit" 'was the environment changed?
test = SE_App.ActiveEnvironment
Loop

and after closeView (window):

Do While test <> "Detail" 'back?
test = SE_App.ActiveEnvironment
Loop

I have a hunch that it will work as expected if you call Application.DoIdle() after calling Application.StartCommand().

Give it a try and let us know.
