DesignViewAssociative does not work for Documents.OpenWithOptions

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue
I set DesignViewAssociative in an option for Documents.OpenWithOptions. But OpenWithOptions failed.

Solution
DesignViewAssociative does not support with Documents.Open. But you can still control the option by

• AssemblyOptions. DefaultDesignViewIsAssociative   (Inventor 2010 and before)
  – FileOpenOptions. DefaultDesignViewIsAssociative   (Inventor 2011)

static void Test()    {          // assume we have had Inventor application              // Create a new NameValueMap object        NameValueMap oDocOpenOptions =           _InvApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap();          // Set the representations to use when opening the document.       oDocOpenOptions.Add(              "LevelOfDetailRepresentation", "MyLODRep");        oDocOpenOptions.Add(              "PositionalRepresentation", "MyPositionalRep");        oDocOpenOptions.Add(               "DesignViewRepresentation", "MyDesignViewRep");    //  oDocOpenOptions.Add(               "DefaultDesignViewIsAssociative", false);             FileOpenOptions oFileOp =              _InvApplication.FileOptions.FileOpenOptions;        if (oFileOp.DefaultDesignView ==              DesignViewTypeEnum.kLastActiveDesignViewType)        {         // This property is only applicable if the default          // design view is 'Last Active' as indicated by the          //DefaultDesignView property          // returning kLastActiveDesignViewType. If the default          // design view is any other value, then this property is          // not  applicable and  setting it will fail.            oFileOp.DefaultDesignViewIsAssociative = false;        }                 // Open the document.        AssemblyDocument oDoc =            (AssemblyDocument)_InvApplication.Documents.OpenWithOptions(                                @"C:Temptest.iam",                                oDocOpenOptions, true);           }
