how to use new method ?

Dear friends,

I have used the following code but it returns the error as

"; error: Automation Error. AutoCAD is unable to service automation request"

what is wrong with this code?

(Setq cur_user_temp_location  (vla-get-QNewTemplateFile (vla-get-files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))))
 (vlax-invoke-method (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) 'NEW cur_user_temp_location)
 (vla-new (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))  cur_user_temp_location)

Hi muthu123

The AutoLisp help files seems to recommend using

(VLA-ADD <documentCollection> <dwt>) 

as opposed to the

(VLA-NEW <document> <dwt>) 

Maybe

(Setq cur_user_temp_location
      (vla-get-QNewTemplateFile
 (vla-get-files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 )
     )

(VLA-ADD
 (vla-get-DOCUMENTS (vlax-get-acad-object))
 cur_user_temp_location
 )

It is ok. But i hope it will be applicaple for only When SDI set to 0. But i need in SDI mode.

Correct, it would be for MDI as opposed for SDI.

I am not sure how to achieve this in SDI. There is some info on the error in the Quit Method of the AutoCAD developers help files
