Republish Markup Sheets

<?xml encoding=”UTF-8″>By Adam Nagy

The DWF markup related functionalities in the drawing are provided by the DWF Markup Manager tranlator addin, and it does not provide an API. However, you can still take advantage of its ControlDefinitions if needed:

If you use the PrintCommandNames function from this blog post then you’ll find these registered by this addin:

The Republish Markup Sheets command requires a file name. The way to provide that is through the PostPrivateEvent function. Here is a VBA sample:

Sub RepublishMarkupSheets()
Dim oCommandMgr As CommandManager
Set oCommandMgr = ThisApplication.CommandManager
' Get the collection of control definitions
Dim oControlDefs As ControlDefinitions
Set oControlDefs = oCommandMgr.ControlDefinitions
Call oCommandMgr.PostPrivateEvent( _
kFileNameEvent, "C:temptest.dwf")
Call oControlDefs( _
"MarkupManager:Command: DWF Republish Markup Sheets").Execute
End Sub

iLogic / .NET version:

Dim oCommandMgr As CommandManager
oCommandMgr = ThisApplication.CommandManager
' Get the collection of control definitions
Dim oControlDefs As ControlDefinitions
oControlDefs = oCommandMgr.ControlDefinitions
Call oCommandMgr.PostPrivateEvent(
PrivateEventTypeEnum.kFileNameEvent, "C:temptest.dwf")
Call oControlDefs(
"MarkupManager:Command: DWF Republish Markup Sheets").Execute
