Camber External Layout Not Working

Packages
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying start a decently large sheet generation project, but am trying to get the basic foundations working before I fully dive into it to make sure it’s possible.

I am trying to use Camber’s “ExternalLayout.ByName” to generate layouts in an external file, it runs and says it generates them but the layouts don’t show up in the .dwg when I open it. I think the most interesting thing is that I can see them technically be generated if I use Camber’s ExternalDocument.LayoutByName node and ExternalLayout.TabOrder and see the layouts exist and are present in the tab order. They just seem to be invisible so I am pretty confused. Any ideas?

(The error on the ExternalLayout.ByName is because the layouts are now “generated” so it’s complaining the name is a duplicate, so that is not the issue).

Nevermind solved my own problem. For anyone in the future looking at this, Camber stores data virtually in memory until saved, so while these layouts were being created I was never actually saving them to the file. To do this you have to use the ExternalDocument.Save node (or in my case, as this node wasn’t working, ExternalDocument.SaveCopy and just use the same name as the file you’re trying to write to.)
