ActivateDocument

The ActivateDocument event notifies the client whenever a document is activated, i.e. when it becomes the top-level document displayed in the active window (for example when a document is opened or the user switches to another document window). _Pre fires before and _Post after the document is activated.
Editing a part in-place within an assembly does not activate the part; the assembly stays the active document (see [NewEditObject](<</code_reference/objects/inventor_event_mappings/application_events/neweditobject>)).

EventNames:

• ActivateDocument_Pre

• ActivateDocument_Post

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Document	document	Object that is being activated

Remarks:

The active document is the top-level document that is being displayed in the active view. This means that in the case of editing a part inside an assembly, the active document will still be the assembly.

Examples:

ActivateDocument_Pre:

Register-InventorEvent -EventName ActivateDocument_Pre -Action 'PreActivateDocument'

function PreActivateDocument($document) {
	#Write event code here
}

Accessing the active Inventor document from Vault event actions:

Register-InventorEvent -EventName ActivateDocument_Post -Action {
	param($document)

	$global:activeDocument = $document
}

Register-VaultEvent -EventName AddVaultFile_Post -Action {
	param($file)

	# Read information from iProperties stored in the Inventor document:
	$category = $global:activeDocument._Category
	$mass = $global:activeDocument._Mass
	$density = $global:activeDocument._Density
	$material = $global:activeDocument._Material

	#Add-ERPObject -EntitySet 'Items' -Properties @{'Cat' = $category; 'Mass' = $mass; 'Den' = $density; 'Material' = $material ... }
}
