How to call ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_SaveID) inside ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand scope?

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 08:02:02 GMT

Hello guys,

I call a function in ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand scope and inside this function I call ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_SaveID) and ACAPI_Automate is not working:


ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand("Import Files", [&]() -> GSErrCode { ImportFiles(); return (0); });

void ImportFiles()
{
        ...
        ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_SaveID);
}

Is there a way to get out of this scope or I have to call it outside ImportFiles?

Hi,

APIDo_SaveID is not allowed to be called inside ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand scope.
Sorry, you have to call it outside.

Regards,
Tibor

In order not to open a new topic for these automated functions, how can I open a new project with the "rectangle area" in the center? I open a new project using the example and don't have it:


        API_NewProjectPars npp;

	BNZeroMemory(&npp, sizeof(API_NewProjectPars));
	npp.newAndReset = true;
	npp.enableSaveAlert = false;

	GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_NewProjectID, &npp);

If I manually open a new project, ARCHICAD 23 Template.tpl is choosen and everything is OK.

How can I choose this template with the automated function?

Hi!
You are right it is currently not possible.
I register it in our issue tracking database and we will implement as soon as we can.
Thank you for the report.

Tibor,

If I understand this correctly, this prevents me from creating a custom menu [AC23] with a choice that updates all drawings and saves. I understand I have to reserve before I can save a Teamwork file. However, I am the only one working in a non-Teamwork .pln file. I am using Do_Save_Plan() found in the AC23 Examples Automate_Functions.cpp file.

It would also be unclear to me if I cannot call this from inside the ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand scope of MenuCommandHandler(), how exactly would I execute my update instructions and save my work?

Currently, when I try this, I get err = -2130312312

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL MenuCommandHandler (const API_MenuParams *params) { return ACAPI_CallUndoableCommand("JHP_BatchPdf Menu Command", [&]() -> GSErrCode { switch (params->menuItemRef.menuResID) { case JHP_BATCHPDF_MENU_STRINGSID: { switch (params->menuItemRef.itemIndex) { case 1: { ACAPI_WriteReport("Refresh", true); RefreshAllLayoutBooks(); break; } case 2: { ACAPI_WriteReport("Save project", true); Do_Save_Plan(); break; } case 3: { ACAPI_WriteReport("Save PDF", true); Do_Save_PdfFile(); break; } } } } return NoError; }); } // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Save the current project // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- static void Do_Save_Plan(void) { GSErrCode err; err = ACAPI_Automate(APIDo_SaveID); if (err != NoError) // ACAPI_WriteReport("Error in APIDo_SaveID: %s", true, ErrID_To_Name(err)); ACAPI_WriteReport("Error in APIDo_SaveID: %d", true, err); return; } // Do_Save_Plan

Thanks for any hint you can provide,

Chris
