Autodesk Developer Blog : Adding new file location using Sheetset API

<?xml encoding=”UTF-8″>By Balaji Ramamoorthy

Here is a code snippet to add a new file location and to set it as the new sheet location using the Sheetset API :

 AcSmSheetSetMgr manager = <span>new</span><span>  AcSmSheetSetMgr();</span>

 AcSmDatabase sheetDb =

         manager.FindOpenDatabase(<span>@"D:\Temp\MySheetset.dst"</span><span> );</span>

 sheetDb.LockDb(sheetDb);

 <span>// New sheet location</span><span> </span>

 AcSmResources resources

             = sheetDb.GetSheetSet().GetResources();

 AcSmFileReference fileRef = <span>new</span><span>  AcSmFileReference();</span>

 fileRef.InitNew(resources);

 fileRef.SetFileName(<span>@"D:\Temp\SampleDrawings"</span><span> );</span>

 sheetDb.GetSheetSet().SetNewSheetLocation(fileRef);

 <span>// Add New location</span><span> </span>

 AcSmFileReference fileRef1 = <span>new</span><span>  AcSmFileReference();</span>

 fileRef1.InitNew(sheetDb);

 fileRef1.SetFileName(<span>@"D:\Temp\SampleDrawings"</span><span> );</span>

 resources.Add(fileRef1);

 sheetDb.UnlockDb(sheetDb);

After you run the code, the model views from all the drawings in the path should get listed under Model Views as shown in this screenshot :
