Compatibility

Cimatron 2024 or later

Syntax

interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument CreateDocument(string aPath, interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumType aType, interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumUnit aUnit);

def CreateDocument(str aPath, interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumType aType, interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumUnit aUnit)->interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument

Return Type

Return: interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument	oIDoc—A reference to ICimDocument interface of the created file in oIDoc

Input Type

Input: string	iDocPath—Full path or title for new file
Input: interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumType	iType—Document type of new file
Input: interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumUnit	iUnit—Document unit for new file

Remarks

This method creates new document and opens it in Cimatron. Only one NC document can be open in the application, you must close any previously opened NC document to create another.
If the chosen file name exists, the new file will be suffixed with a hash and an ordinal number. For example, if the file name "Test" already exists, then the file will be saved as "Test#1".
If the path is not supplied, the Cimatron Browser dialog is displayed to select the path when you close the file.

Example

interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess aAppAccess = new interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess();
interop.CimatronE.IApplication aCimApp = (interop.CimatronE.IApplication)aAppAccess.GetApplication();
interop.CimatronE.IPdm aPdm = aCimApp.GetPdm();
interop.CimatronE.ICimDocument aDoc = aPdm.CreateDocument(@"C:\Temp\NewEltFile.elt",
interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumType.cmPart,
interop.CimatronE.DocumentEnumUnit.cmMillimeter);
