Topic: Active Document

[Arizona]

I am trying to run a batch process from an empty drawing (drawing1.dwg). When the first file opens, drawing1.dwg still seems to be the active document. how do I make the file being opened the active document using C#?

DocumentManager.MDIActiveDocument

DocumentCollection acDocMgr = Application.DocumentManager;
Document acDoc = acDocMgr.Open(strTemplatePath, false);
acDocMgr.MdiActiveDocument = acDoc;

Thanks! I'll try that.

If you are doing this in a registered command, make sure that you
add CommandFlags.Session to the [CommandMethod] attribute, as
that's the only way you will be able to change the active document
without your code being suspended.

Thanks Tony! I remember reading about that. I think I will go read that again. I appreciate the help!

Excellent! Thank you so much! That was exactly what I was running into!
