Reloading Sheet format with API

Hi

I've been tring to reload a sheet format using the API but it doesn't
appear to work - no error messages just doesn't do it . What am I
missing?

Dim swApp As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long
Dim Annotation As Object
Dim Gtol As Object
Dim DatumTag As Object
Dim FeatureData As Object
Dim Feature As Object
Dim Component As Object
Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
Part.SetupSheet4 "Sheet1", 6, 12, 1, 1, False,_
"G:\SolidWorks\Sheet Formats\STA4 2004.slddrt", 0.297, 0.21,
"Default"
Part.EditSketch
End Sub

Cheers

Craig

 

'this has been tested and it works. make sure STA4 2004.slddrt is in folder
'G:\SolidWorks\Sheet Formats.

'hope this helps you out.

Option Explicit

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim Part As Object

Sub main()

Set swApp = New SldWorks.SldWorks
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
Part.SetupSheet4 "Sheet1", 6, 12, 1, 1, False, _
"G:\SolidWorks\Sheet Formats\STA4 2004.slddrt", _
0.297, 0.21, "Default"
Part.EditSketch
End Sub

 

Found my problem, the sheet format file name must be different from
the existing one to trigger a reload. (I was trying to reload the old
sheet format again). If
you want to do that you can use

Sheet.SetTemplateName "Some dummy name"
Part.SetupSheet4 "Sheet1", 6, 12, 1, 1, False, _
"Old sheet format file and path", _
0.297, 0.21, "Default"
