Return Value

Contact SOLIDWORKS API Support to obtain Close and Reopen a Drawing Document (VBA, VB.NET, C#).

Before a third-party application can process a drawing document that is open in SOLIDWORKS, it must close the document. Usually when a drawing document is closed, its references are unloaded from memory, and reopening the drawing document takes a lot of time. This method closes a drawing document, keeps its references in memory, and quickly reopens it.

After the drawing document is closed and before it is reopened, SOLIDWORKS fires a FileCloseNotify event with reason swFileCloseNotifyReason_e.swFileCloseNotifyReason_CloseForReload. In the handler of this event, a third-party application can call ISldWorks::SetPromptFileName2 to open a different file, or it can process the specified document before it is reopened in SOLIDWORKS.

See IModelDoc2::ReloadOrReplace to perform a similar function with part and assembly documents.
