This macro shows you how to create a new CATIA
document. It details the programming equivalent to the File ->
New command.
CAAInfCreateDocument is launched in CATIA [1]. No opened document is needed.
CAAInfCreateDocument.CATScript is located in the CAAScdInfUseCases module. Execute macro (Windows only).
CAAInfCreateDocument includes one step:
Creating a New CATIA Document
...
'Create a new part document.
'Add the new document to the end of the collection of documents.
'Create and display a new window for the new document.
'Activate the new document and the window.
Dim oNewPartDoc As Document
Set oNewPartDoc = CATIA.Documents.Add("Part")
...
|
A new CATIA document is created using the Add method of
the Documents collection (Documents object). The type of
document to be created must be specified to the Add method.
This type can be a part, an assembly, or a drawing. You would then use Part,
Product, or Drawing type respectively as the
argument to the Add method. In this case, a Part
document is created. The new document is added to the end of the
collection of documents. A new window for the document is also created and
displayed. Both document and window are activated. Note that the existence
of the new document is limited to the CATIA session. To be persistent, the
document must be saved. See the CAAInfSaveAsDocument [2]
sample for an illustration of how to save the new document. Note also that
the newly created document should also be closed at the end of the
session. See the CAAInfCloseDocument [3] sample
for an illustration of how to close the new document.
