GetCurrentDiagram() returns null

[aljazjelen]

Hi to whoever reading this

I have a following code:

Code: [Select]


// Main
var rep as EA.Repository;
rep = Repository;

var diag as EA.Diagram;

diag = rep.GetCurrentDiagram();

if (diag != null){
Session.Output(diag.type);
}

I cannot get the "GetCurrentDiagram()" function returning anything. It always returns null (the if statement above in the code is skipped).

Anyone knows why?

Additional info:
EA v13
Selected diagram in tree
clicked on the diagram in the viewport

The current diagram returns the diagram in the main view.

It returns null if you don't have a diagram in the active tab in the main view (there could be a script, the one you are debugging, or the database builder, or...)
I think it worked the same way back in the v13 days.

The current diagram returns the diagram in the main view.

It returns null if you don't have a diagram in the active tab in the main view (there could be a script, the one you are debugging, or the database builder, or...)

To make it even more complex, you can drag a script editor out of the main view. If you're using that it will still by the active window and the current diagram will still be null.

I think it worked the same way back in the v13 days.

I think it's been the same since the v4 days.
