Automation when publishing

Rob C

Hi all,

 

I'm looking into executing commands automatically when the user attempts to publish a drawing. From looking at the API docs it seems like the only thing we have access to is inserting a new format into the already-existing publisher dialog (shown in the FormatRegisterTest example).

 

Is it possible to react and run code automatically when the user asks to publish?

 

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, there is no way to get notified when this event occurs. As you mentioned, the only thing you can do is inserting a new format and react when the publishing of the inserted format is called.

Best Regards,
Ákos

Hi Ákos,

 

Thanks for the response. That's unfortunate, hopefully the API will allow for a more broad spectrum of reactions to user actions soon.

 

Thanks
