I am trying to call a REST web service in a VBA module to populate some bookmarks in a Word document. For some reason the code freezes at this line
Set cCap1 = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("CCAP1").Range
cCap1.Text = keyResult.SelectSingleNode("//cCap").Text
saying that the bookmark "CCAP1" does not exist inside the document, when in fact is perfectly visible in the bookmarks list, as you see here
I checked the webservice and it returns a valid XML document which should not pose any problem.
Following you will find the complete VBA module code
Public Static Sub callRestService()

keyService.Open "GET", query, False
keyService.send
keyResult.LoadXML (keyService.responseText)

Has anyone ever encountered something like this?
Thank you for your time.
I managed to solve the issue, "simply" recreating all the document bookmarks.

I´m making a macro that does some actions in Catia v5, I got all the code written by recording it, and it works wonders!
But, now i want to be able to just run the code on another catproduct, catpart, etc. But without having to manually change the file name on the code.
CODE:
Sub CATMain()
Dim drawingDocument1 As DrawingDocument
Set drawingDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim drawingSheets1 As DrawingSheets
Set drawingSheets1 = drawingDocument1.Sheets
Dim drawingSheet1 As DrawingSheet
Set drawingSheet1 = drawingSheets1.Item("Sheet.1")
Dim drawingViews1 As DrawingViews
Set drawingViews1 = drawingSheet1.Views
Dim drawingView1 As DrawingView
Set drawingView1 = drawingViews1.Add("AutomaticNaming")
Dim drawingViewGenerativeLinks1 As DrawingViewGenerativeLinks
Set drawingViewGenerativeLinks1 = drawingView1.GenerativeLinks
Dim drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 As DrawingViewGenerativeBehavior
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
Dim documents1 As Documents
Set documents1 = CATIA.Documents
Dim productDocument1 As ProductDocument
Set productDocument1 = documents1.Item("*FILENAME.CATProduct*")
Dim product1 As Product
Set product1 = productDocument1.Product
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Document = product1
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.DefineIsometricView 0.707107, 0.707107, 0#, -0.408248, 0.408248, 0.816497
drawingView1.X = -1262.192063
drawingView1.Y = -1262.192063
drawingView1.[Scale] = 1#
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Update
Set drawingViews1 = drawingSheet1.Views
Set drawingView1 = drawingViews1.Add("AutomaticNaming")
Set drawingViewGenerativeLinks1 = drawingView1.GenerativeLinks
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
Set documents1 = CATIA.Documents
Set productDocument1 = documents1.Item("FILENAME.CATProduct")
Set product1 = productDocument1.Product
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Document = product1
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.DefineIsometricView -0.707107, 0.707107, 0#, -0.408248, -0.408248, 0.816497
drawingView1.X = 7266.177117
drawingView1.Y = -1262.192063
drawingView1.[Scale] = 1#
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Update
End Sub
Use the Name or FullName properties of the Document object.
CATIA.ActiveDocument.Name 'returns the name of the active document
CATIA.ActiveDocument.FullName ' returns the full path to the document including the name
In your case since you assign CATIA.ActiveDocument you can just use DrawingDocument1.Name or DrawingDocument1.FullName.
I have a sub with a variant variable set up that changes its type midway for now apparent reason.
I have the variables declared at the beginning of the procedure:
Dim acsp As Variant
Dim oldmaster As Variant
Dim acontacts As Variant
Dim avp As Variant
Dim acctst As Variant
Dim ashipto As Variant
Dim abillto As Variant
Dim found, found1, found2 As Boolean
acsp = Sheet6.UsedRange.Value2
acontacts = Sheet5.UsedRange.Value2
avp = Sheet9.UsedRange.Value2
acctst = Sheet20.UsedRange.Value2
ashipto = Sheet11.UsedRange.Value
abillto = Sheet15.UsedRange.Value
The code runs and based on an IF condition it might call this code (inside the same sub):
c = UBound(acsp) + 1
shipto = Trim(UCase(acctst(aa, 27)))
billto = Trim(UCase(acctst(aa, 38)))
shiptofound = False
For shiptorow = 2 To UBound(ashipto)
ashipto1 = Trim(UCase(ashipto(shiptorow, 2)))
If ashipto1 = shipto Then
shiptofound = True
Exit For
End If
Next shiptorow
Up until the shiptofound=False line the abillto variant is shown as variant/variant (1 to 677, 1 to 18) which is correct.
But as soon it runs the line For shiptorow = 2 To UBound(ashipto) then the abillto variant changes to a type variant/long with a value of 2?
At no point prior to this code abillto is used in the code.
Why does VBA do this?
I've recorded a line creation in a VBA macro file, and it generated the following code:
Sub CATMain()
Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument
Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim part1 As Part
Set part1 = partDocument1.Part
Dim bodies1 As Bodies
Set bodies1 = part1.Bodies
Dim body1 As Body
Set body1 = bodies1.Item("PartBody")
Dim sketches1 As Sketches
Set sketches1 = body1.Sketches
Dim originElements1 As OriginElements
Set originElements1 = part1.OriginElements
Dim reference1 As Reference
Set reference1 = originElements1.PlaneYZ
Dim sketch1, sketch1Variant As Sketch *
Set sketch1 = sketches1.Add(reference1)
Dim arrayOfVariantOfDouble1(8)
arrayOfVariantOfDouble1(0) = 0#
...
arrayOfVariantOfDouble1(8) = 1#
Set sketch1Variant = sketch1
sketch1Variant.SetAbsoluteAxisData **
arrayOfVariantOfDouble1
part1.InWorkObject = sketch1
Dim factory2D1 As Factory2D
Set factory2D1 = sketch1.OpenEdition()
Dim geometricElements1 As GeometricElements
Set geometricElements1 = sketch1.GeometricElements
Dim axis2D1 As Axis2D
Set axis2D1 = geometricElements1.Item("AbsoluteAxis")
Dim line2D1 As Line2D
Set line2D1 = axis2D1.GetItem("HDirection")
line2D1.ReportName = 1
Dim line2D2 As Line2D
Set line2D2 = axis2D1.GetItem("VDirection")
line2D2.ReportName = 2
Dim point2D1 As Point2D
Set point2D1 = factory2D1.CreatePoint(21.285706, -30.501825)
point2D1.ReportName = 3
Dim point2D2 As Point2D
Set point2D2 = factory2D1.CreatePoint(112.826553, -68.875053)
point2D2.ReportName = 4
Dim line2D3 As Line2D
Set line2D3 = factory2D1.CreateLine(21.285706, -30.501825, 112.826553, -68.875053)
line2D3.ReportName = 5
line2D3.StartPoint = point2D1
line2D3.EndPoint = point2D2
sketch1.CloseEdition
part1.InWorkObject = body1
part1.Update
End Sub
Now
The issue is that when i run the code as is after recording I get the following error:
Error in loading dll.
Than I add sketch1Variant object at line * and run the code again.
This time I get the
"Function or interface marked restricted, or the function uses an automation type not supported in Visual Basic" error for line **.
I don't know what's wrong.
Any info is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
The basic rule is this: When using VBA, any CATIA method which takes an array as an argument, or returns through an argument must be called on a variant object.
You have declared Sketch1Variant as Sketch. And SetAbsoluteAxisData takes an array as an argument.
What you want is this:
Dim Sketch1 as Sketch
Dim Sketch1Variant as Variant
(or just leave the "as variant" part off).
With this change you should be able to get past your problem.
In the future please do a web search first, because this is a VERY common question. coe.org is a good site to search.
I am working on a project that joins two or more pp presentations into one new presentation.
The selection of the original pp presentations is in a webbased Lotus Notes xPage and after the submit, Lotusscript talkes to the OLE Powerpoint object.
Adding the slides into the new Presentation in the right order is no problem.
The problem is that after the adding the original connection with the slides Template(s) is lost.
To solve this I found the next codesnippet:
Sub joiner()
Dim sFileName As String
Dim oDonor As Variant
Dim otarget As Variant
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo errhandler
Set otarget = ActivePresentation
Do While sFileName <> ""
Set oDonor = Presentations.Open(Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\joiner\" & sFileName, msoFalse)
For i = 1 To oDonor.Slides.Count
oDonor.Slides(i).Copy
With otarget.Slides.Paste(otarget.Slides.Count + 1)
.Design = oDonor.Slides(i).Design
.ColorScheme = oDonor.Slides(i).ColorScheme
End With
Next i
oDonor.Close
Set oDonor = Nothing
sFileName = Dir()
Loop
End Sub
I have to declare the presentations oDonor and oTarget as a Variant because lotusscript doesn't understand Dim oTarget As Presentation
This is probably the reason why the code returns a typemismatch error at:
.Design = oDonor.Slides(i).Design
My questions are:
Am I doing the join the right way or is there a better solution?
Is there a solution for the typemismatch error?
*ps: The result presentation doesn't have to be editable, so maybe it is not necessary to add templates.
Update 04-10-2012:
The next code solves the template problem.
What still is missing now is the background image used by some slides.
See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12731691/how-to-export-a-backgroundimage-of-a-slide-to-the-filesystem
Dim oDonor As Variant
Dim h As Integer
Dim thetmplt As Variant
Dim thetmpltname As String
Dim thetmpltnew As Variant
Dim thetmpltnamenew As String
Set oDonor = PPApplication.Presentations.Open(tempdirectory +
jobid+CStr(filenamearray (i)),False,False,False)
thetmplt = oDonor.TemplateName
Call oDonor.SaveAs(tempdirectory +jobid+CStr(i)+ thetmplt+".pot" ,5, -1)
For h = 1 To oDonor.Slides.Count
Dim oTargetSlide As Variant
oDonor.Slides(h).Copy
Set oTargetSlide = newPres.Slides.Paste()
Next
Dim theubound As Variant
theubound = oDonor.Slides.Count
ReDim thearray(1 To k + theubound) As Variant
For k = k To k + oDonor.Slides.Count-1
thearray(k) = k
Next
Call newPres.Slides.Range(thearray()).ApplyTemplate(tempdirectory +
jobid+CStr(i+thetmplt+".pot")
oDonor.Close
Set oDonor = Nothing
This is just a hunch, but try:
Dim oTargetSlide as Variant
Set oTargetSlide = otarget.Slides.Paste(otarget.Slides.Count + 1)(1)
With oTargetSlide
.Design = oDonor.Slides(i).Design
.ColorScheme = oDonor.Slides(i).ColorScheme
End With
I've been trying to resurrect an existing drawing check macro, and want to find the co-ordinates of any note blocks on each sheet. I've been modifying code found here using the GetAttachPos method from this page, but for some reason any co-ordinates returned come back around (8.80942311664557E-03,2.24429295226372E-03).
I'm thinking that the problem is that I've missed a reference somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Although it's definitely finding the notes since it passes back their text. Anyway, here's the method I'm testing at the moment:
Sub Main()
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
Dim NoteNumbersText As String
Dim NoteText As String
Dim NumberofSheets As Integer ' The number of sheets in this drawing
Dim NamesOfSheets As Variant ' Names of all of the sheets
Dim sheet As SldWorks.sheet ' The Sheet that we are working on
Dim LocalView As SldWorks.View ' Current View that we are looking at
Dim LocalNote As SldWorks.Note ' Current Note that we are looking at
Dim TextFormat As SldWorks.TextFormat ' Current text format object of a note
Dim Xpos As Double ' X, Y Z position on the drawing in Metres
Dim Ypos As Double
Dim SizeOfSheet As Double
Dim x As Integer ' general Loop Variables
Dim j As Integer
Dim k As Integer
Dim l As Integer
Dim vPosition As Variant
Dim vNote As Variant ' Single note
Dim swNote As SldWorks.Note ' Single Solidworks Note Object
Dim ThisAnnotation As SldWorks.Annotation
Dim swBlockInst As SldWorks.SketchBlockInstance
Dim swBlockDef As SldWorks.SketchBlockDefinition
Dim NumofNotes As Integer
Dim ArrayOfNotes() As NoteInfo
Dim LocalDrawingDoc As SldWorks.DrawingDoc ' Declared as an Object so that non Drawings can be detected!
Dim LocalPart As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 ' Declared as an Object so that non Drawings can be detected!
Dim strShtProp As Variant
Set LocalDrawingDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set LocalPart = swApp.ActiveDoc
ReDim ArrayOfNotes(0)
' Get the sheet names and the number of them
NamesOfSheets = LocalDrawingDoc.GetSheetNames()
NumberofSheets = LocalDrawingDoc.GetSheetCount
' store this sheet name
Set sheet = LocalDrawingDoc.GetCurrentSheet()
strShtProp = sheet.GetProperties() ' get the sheet properties use much later for converting position into ref
SizeOfSheet = strShtProp(5)
Dim SwSketchMgr As SldWorks.SketchManager
Set SwSketchMgr = LocalDrawingDoc.SketchManager
Dim i As Integer
Dim vBlockDef As Variant
Dim vBlockInst As Variant
Dim strReturn As String
' Dim bret As Boolean
vBlockDef = SwSketchMgr.GetSketchBlockDefinitions
For x = NumberofSheets - 1 To 0 Step -1
If LocalDrawingDoc.GetCurrentSheet.GetName <> NamesOfSheets(x) Then LocalDrawingDoc.ActivateSheet NamesOfSheets(x)
Set LocalView = LocalDrawingDoc.GetFirstView
While Not LocalView Is Nothing
If Not IsEmpty(vBlockDef) Then
For i = 0 To UBound(vBlockDef)
Set swBlockDef = vBlockDef(i)
vBlockInst = swBlockDef.GetInstances
vNote = swBlockDef.GetNotes
If Not IsEmpty(vNote) Then
For j = 0 To UBound(vNote)
Set swNote = vNote(j)
NoteNumbersText = Trim(swNote.GetText)
If Left(NoteNumbersText, 1) = "n" And Len(NoteNumbersText) > 1 And Len(NoteNumbersText) < 4 Then
Set ThisAnnotation = swNote.GetAnnotation
'vPosition = swNote.GetAttachPos
vPosition = ThisAnnotation.GetPosition
Xpos = vPosition(0)
Ypos = vPosition(1)
Debug.Print ("Note " & NoteNumbersText & ": " & Xpos & "," & Ypos)
End If
Next j
End If
Next i
End If
Set LocalView = LocalView.GetNextView
Wend
Next x
End Sub
Turns out that SolidWorks is set up to return positions of blocks relative to the drawing view on which they're placed. Calling GetXForm for the view which they are placed on then provides a way of calculating the absolute position of each note.
