i was stuck in a problem, where i need to open a new drawing file with the specified template file, as shown below.
objInventorServer.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject, templatePath)
But this line is giving an unspecified error in the workitem log. Problem is happening with InventorServer object, i guess. Because on using the same line in Local Machine with normal Inventor.Application object, its working fine. Please help me with issue.
I only ran into a problem if the drawing file was from a newer version than the Inventor Server I was running, but then I got more messages:

But in that case Open would fail as well 🤔
If I was using the same version for both the file and Inventor Server then this code succeeded:
public void RunWithArguments(Document doc, NameValueMap map)
{
LogTrace("RunWithArguments called");
string idwPath = map.Item["_1"];
LogTrace("Creating drawing based on template " + idwPath);
LogTrace("FileExists = " + System.IO.File.Exists(idwPath).ToString());
Document idwDoc = inventorApplication.Documents.Add(Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject, idwPath);
LogTrace("Created drawing based on template " + idwPath);
}
This is the report:

Do you run into this problem with all your Inventor Drawing templates?
