Open DXF file in Illustrator without dialog box

[Flexo-Baker]

Hi, I'm trying to open a DXF with a extendScript in Illustrator without having a dialog box .

this is my script. Illustrator opens the file. But the dialog-box is presented. None of the open options are taken into account. Any Help?

var optRef = new OpenOptions();
            optRef.centerArtwork=true;
            optRef.globalScaleOption=AutoCADGlobalScaleOption.OriginalSize;
            optRef.globalScalePercent=100.0;
            optRef.mergeLayers=false;
            optRef.scaleLineweights=false;
            optRef.selectedLayoutName="Model";
            optRef.unit=AutoCADUnit.Millimeters;
            optRef.unitScaleRatio=1.0;
var testDocument = app.open(File('//mac-server-2/JOBS/2019/1902000/1902785/CAD/19AF0325_0201_450x320x140.dxf'), DocumentColorSpace.RGB, optRef);

Not sure you can get rid of it. Just tried adding a non display alerts user interaction level and got an error.

var optRef = new OpenOptions(); 

   optRef.centerArtwork=true; 

   optRef.globalScaleOption=AutoCADGlobalScaleOption.OriginalSize; 

   optRef.globalScalePercent=100.0; 

   optRef.mergeLayers=false; 

   optRef.scaleLineweights=false; 

   optRef.selectedLayoutName="Model"; 

   optRef.unit=AutoCADUnit.Millimeters; 

   optRef.unitScaleRatio=1.0; 

var uil = app.userInteractionLevel;

try {

   app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

   var testDocument = app.open(File('/path/to/tutu.dxf'), DocumentColorSpace.RGB, optRef); 

}

catch(err) {}

app.userInteractionLevel = uil;

The dialog is gone. BUT non of the OpenOptions is taken into account.

My DXF file has 3 LayoutNames. But the layout "Model" is never opend.

your syntax is incorrect, use openOptions as follows

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
var optRef = app.preferences.AutoCADFileOptions; 
            optRef.centerArtwork=true; 
            optRef.globalScaleOption=AutoCADGlobalScaleOption.ScaleByValue; 
            optRef.globalScalePercent=100.0; 
            optRef.mergeLayers=false; 
            optRef.scaleLineweights=false; 
            optRef.selectedLayoutName="Model"; 
            optRef.unit=AutoCADUnit.Inches; 
            optRef.unitScaleRatio=1; 
var testDocument = app.open(File('c:/temp/autocadOpenTest.dxf'), DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DISPLAYALERTS;
