Hi, I am attempting to edit part metadata and then save using the Document Manager. I can connect to the document manager, open the document and manipulate metadata. However, I am not able to save the file. I get an error return.

The return value is swDmDocumentSaveErrorFail which corrseponds to "2 = Failed; reason could be related to permissions" according to the API help.

I am running solidworks 2010 x64 SP4.0 and my machine is running Windows 7 x64. The file is located on my hard drive, as is the code I am executing. Has anybody seen similar issues? Any suggestions?

Here is what my code looks like:

public void TestSaveDMDoc()
{
    String strPath = testroot+@"\TestFileOps\Part.SLDPRT";

    SwDMClassFactory swClassFact = new SwDMClassFactory();
    SwDMApplication swDocMgr = swClassFact.GetApplication(UtilController.strLicenseKey);

    SwDmDocumentType dmType = SwDmDocumentType.swDmDocumentPart;
    SwDmDocumentOpenError errOpen;
    SwDmDocumentSaveError errSave;
    SwDMDocument14 doc = (SwDMDocument14)swDocMgr.GetDocument(strPath, dmType, true, out errOpen);
    if (errOpen != SwDmDocumentOpenError.swDmDocumentOpenErrorNone)
    {
        throw new Exception("Could not open the file");
    }
    Assert.IsNotNull(doc);

    errSave = doc.Save();
    if (errSave != SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorNone)
    {
        String strMessage = "Failed to save.";
        if ((errSave & SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorFail) == SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorFail)
        {
            strMessage += "Fail error. Problem could be related to permissions.";
        }
        if ((errSave & SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorReadOnly) == SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorReadOnly)
        {
            strMessage += "Read only error. File was opened as read-only.";
        }

        throw new Exception(strMessage);
    }

    Assert.AreEqual(SwDmDocumentSaveError.swDmDocumentSaveErrorNone, doc.Save());
}

When I run the code, it throws an exception indicating a fail error occured when attempting to save.

Thanks, Will
