Okay, I have fought with this long enough, time to ask the genius of the forum community.
I have a macro that saves a drawing as a PDF into our PDM professional vault, problem is that it is grayed out because it is a local version. I can right click and add to the vault, but I would like for this macro to not only add it to the vault but to also check it in. I have poured over the PDM API help files and am still so lost. I find the way the help files code things very difficult to understand. My visual basic skill is growing but pretty beginner level still.
This is what I have but my very last line seems to be an issue I can't figure out what to do with it.
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swDraw As SldWorks.DrawingDoc
Dim Filepath As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long
Dim vault1 As New EdmVault5
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
' Check to see if a drawing file is loaded.
If (swModel Is Nothing) Or (swModel.GetType <> swDocDRAWING) Then
swApp.SendMsgToUser ("Only for use with Drawings")
Exit Sub
End If
' vault login
vault1.LoginAuto "SPECTRUM", 0
' Set filepath and add tag on file name using custom properties
Set swDraw = swModel
Dim Rev As String
Dim folder As String
Rev = swModel.CustomInfo("Revision")
Filepath = "C:\SPECTRUM\Spectrum\Shop Pdf Access\"
If Right(Filepath, 1) <> "\" Then
Filepath = Filepath & "\"
End If
FileName = Left(swDraw.GetTitle, Len(swDraw.GetTitle) - 10)
file = Filepath + FileName + " - " + Rev + ".PDF"
swDraw.SaveAs (file)
'add and checkin to vault
vault1.RootFolder.AddFile 0, Filepath, file, 0
End Sub
