Revert document?

[mrblix]

Anyone know how to revert (or re-open) a document at the end of a script?

Cheers

Just close it without saving, then reopen.

Here's the script in VB.NET, but you'll get the idea.

Dim aDoc As AI.Document = app.ActiveDocument

Dim fullName As String = aDoc.FullName

aDoc.Close(AiSaveOptions.aiDoNotSaveChanges)

app.Open(fullName)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I've found myself at a similar solution. I'm working in Javascript...

This works:

function revertDoc() {

  var docsource = activeDocument.fullName;

  app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

  app.open(docsource);

}

Actually, mine works just fine in Javascript too.

TestScript();

function TestScript() {

    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;

    var fullName = aDoc.fullName;

    app.activeDocument.close (SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    app.open (fullName)

}

Have you tried closing AI and reopening it and running the script fresh? AI notes that there are suggested limits for the number of times that you can open/close documents (can't put my finger on it now) -- might be worth a try.
