Button does not work

[Peter_Ensing]

Hello All,

I'm trying to make a new 3D PDF template for Inventor with use of the autodesk samples.

Dropbox - Sample Assembly Template.pdf

The buttons I want to reproduce are, front view, back view, top view etc.

The code used is very simple:

this.akBom.setCameraToCannedView(this, "FRONT");

However, when I copy the existing button to a new form or reproduce it with the same settings and this JavaScript code it does not work.

Do you have an idea what I'm missing or need to do to get this to work?

Kind regards,

Peter

Look at the Javascript console for errors.

Thanks for the fast reply.

It only gives me this error:

ReferenceError: ANARKCOREDATA is not defined

6:Document-Level:AnarkCoreScript

But this error is also given in the Autodesk sample that works (Inventor uses AnarkCore to export to 3D PDF).

When I try the button I get the error:

this.akBom is undefined

This is the output when I use the template, all buttons work:

Dropbox - CEP.01276.04.02-01104.pdf

When I copy the template buttons to a new template and Generate the output, no buttons work.

The buttons call a functions that reside in a document level script. The buttons won't work when you just copy them into another document, you also need to copy the document level script.

Thanks Joel!

Thats what I was searching for.

I think this will be enough to get it to work.

Thanks, Bernd for your help as well!
