How to Show the New Dialog?????

Hi All,

I want to know is it possible to displaying the select Template dialog, while I want to add a new document in AcadDocument collection? If I am calling the Add method of AcadDocuments object, it only expects the template name parameter, and even if the templane name is not provided, it acts as if we have asked to open without template, but I want to display the dialog to choose the template from. So is it possible. Is there any other way to display the same and once the template is selected, create the drawing.

Thanks in Advance

Manoj

 

Yes, you would need to make a form that recreates the select template
dialog. You can't access the AutoCAD one because you'd then loose control.
Depending upon what you're doing, it sounds like you'd be better off to let
the user select the NEW command, pick his template and then you do your
coding in one of the application events like New Drawing.

Thanks Mike,

But I don't want my won dialog, I want to use the AutoCAD onle. So from your post I am assuming that It is not possible to show to user to select the template selection dialog.

 

That is correct Manoj unless you write code to a event like i mentioned.
