Make an open drawing visible in the drawing editor

[victorbarrage528662]

Hi

I've managed to open a drawing without loading it into the drawing editor using Visual Lisp:

	  ;; Create a unbound drawing object
	  (setq	objDWG
		 (vla-GetInterfaceObject
		   (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)
		   (strcat
		     "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument."
		     (substr (getvar "AcadVer") 1 2)
		   )
		 )
	  )

	  ;; Open the drawing and bind it to our object
	  (setq	errObj (vl-catch-all-apply
			 'vla-Open
			 (list objDWG
			       (cond (tmpFile)
				     (FullNameAndPath)
			       )
			       (if optOpenReadOnly
				 :vlax-true
				 :vlax-false
			       )
			 )
		       )
	  )

Now that the drawing is open, is there a way to load it into the drawing editor and make it visible? I'm processing the drawing first before allowing the user to see it.

While the drawing is still open in ObjectDBX, you can only open it as "read only" in the drawing editor. You will need to use vla-saveas to save your changes in ODBX, then close it in that interface (vlax-release-object objDWG). You can then open the drawing in the editor;

(vla-activate (vla-open (vla-get-documents (vlax-get-acad-object)) (FullNameAndPath)))
