Close microstation through VBA

Hi Robert,

something like

CadInputQueue.SendKeyin "exit"

would be enough.

Thanks a bunch, this solves my issue with time scheduled automated batching!

Do you also know if you can VBA script so that a file thats in DGN is saved as DWG in the same location as the DGN?

All I need is the code that saves the file in the other format...

I've been using batch convert until now (I have to do this every week for hundreds of files) but I am looking over the solution to time Schedule this aswell.

I also have to convert it back from DWG to DGN after.

Thanks a bunch!

SaveAs method is what you need. But you have take care about creating a proper file name. Something like this code:

Dim fileName As String
fileName = ActiveDesignFile.Name
fileName = Replace(ActiveDesignFile.Name, ".dgn", "")
fileName = fileName & ".dwg"
ActiveDesignFile.SaveAs fileName, True, msdDesignFileFormatDWG

Now all I want is that the working units of these exports always are in meters....

Isn't it from a song from Love Actually movie? ;-)

Your the best friends should be MicroStation help and search tool at this web as the same topic has been discussed several times.

set units meter millimeter;filedesign

"filedesign" key-in is equal to Ctrl+F (File > Save settings), otherwise the changed units will be not remembered by the model.

Haha you are right :)

wow you are fast to deliver answers!

Ok but will the exported file have those working units? is it possible to set the resolution also?

sorry if I am bombing you with these questions..!
