DEVELOPERS FORUM - Checkout file method problem

Urban_42 - Friday, June 22, 2012 4:35 AM:

Hi!

I am trying to write a simple method with which I will be able to checkout a native file attached to a CAD document. This is what I have so far:

var partName = prompt("Enter the Part Name:",""); // enter CAD, that you wish to checkout
var inn = this.getInnovator();
cad = inn.getItemByKeyedName("native_file",partName); // get item with the name

// error if not successful
if (cad.isError())
{
 top.aras.AlertError(cad.getErrorDetail());
 return;
}

// otherwise checkout native file

var file = cad.checkout("H:\ ")

I always get the error, that the native file is inaccessible.

I would be glad for some pointers on how to proceed.

Thank you, Urban Potocnik

Hello Urban,
Please use following updated code for Checkout native_file form CAD.

var partName = prompt("Enter the Part Name:",""); // enter CAD, that you wish to checkout
var inn = this.getInnovator();
cad = inn.getItemByKeyedName("CAD",partName); // get item with the name
if (cad.isError())
{
 top.aras.AlertError(cad.getErrorDetail());
 return;
}
var File=inn.getItemById("File",cad.getItemByIndex(0).getProperty("native_file"));
if (File.isError())
{
 top.aras.AlertError(File.getErrorDetail());
 return;
}
var FileCheck=File.checkout("H:\ ");
return this;

Hope it helps...

Thanks & Regards,

Vasant Padhiyar

Sorry, still doesn't work and I think that native_file is a PropertyItem rather than just Property.

Thanks anyway, will keep you posted if anything comes through.
