Hi everyone!
I'm trying to automate an operation with Alibre Design
(http://www.alibre.com) via COM.
It is mostly working, except for a call to a method that accepts a
single optional boolean parameter. When I try to call this method, I get
an "Invalid number of parameters" exception.
Here's my code:
----------------
import win32com.client
import pywintypes
try:
# Check if Alibre is already running
h = win32com.client.GetObject(Class="AlibreX.AutomationHook")
except pywintypes.com_error:
h = win32com.client.Dispatch("AlibreX.AutomationHook")
h.Initialize("", "", "", False, 0)
root = h.Root
# Open a file and get its mass
f = root.OpenFile(path_to_file)
d = win32com.client.CastTo(f, "IADDesignSession")
mass = d.PhysicalProperties(2).Mass
f.Close()
----------------
The exception is triggered from the last call.. makepy generates it in
this way:
----------------
def Close(self, saveSession=False):
"""Closes the session and saves the modified session and
sub-sessions, if any, to their original folder locations, if the
saveSession flag is set to true. Use SaveNew or SaveAs if this session
is being saved for the first time"""
return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(7, LCID, 1, (24, 0), ((11,
49),),saveSession )
----------------
This matches the documentation of Alibre's API, and what I get when I
try to inspect the corresponding DLL using Reflector.
Any idea on what I could try?
Thanks for your time!
