BoardDocument.close Method

Parent Object: BoardDocument

PreviewThis functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.


Defined in namespace "adsk::electron" and the header file is <Electron/BoardDocument/BoardDocument.h>

Description

Closes this document.

Closing a document is not supported within any of the Command related events. When a command is running, a transaction is open, and creating and closing documents cannot be transacted and, as a result, cannot be contained within a command transaction.

Syntax

"boardDocument_var" is a variable referencing a BoardDocument object.

returnValue = boardDocument_var.close(saveChanges)

Return Value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if closing the document was successful.

Parameters

Name Type Description
saveChanges boolean This argument defines what the behavior of the close is when the document has been modified. If the document hasn't been modified then this argument is ignored and the document is closed. If the document has been modified and this argument is false then Fusion will close the document and lose any changes. If the document has been modified and this argument is true then it will prompt the user if they want to save the changes or not, just the same as if the user was to interactively close the document.
