      Export fails using InventorServer

      Issue

      An inventor file is converted with powerJobs Processor using the InventorServer into one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and the job fails with following error:

      Failed to export document ***** to *****.bmp! Reason: The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

      Cause

      The InventorServer application does not support converting files to following formats:

      • JPEG
      • BMP
      • GIF
      • TIFF
      • PNG.

      Solution

      For these conversion you need to use Inventor instead of InventorServer. To change this follow this steps:

      1. On the machine on which powerJobs Processor is installed navigate to "C:\ProgramData\coolOrange\powerJobs\Jobs"
      2. Open your job's script file
      3. Search for the Open-Document cmdlet: 
        1. Open-Document -LocalFile $file.LocalPath ...
      4. Change it to use Inventor as application: 
        1. Open-Document -LocalFile $file.LocalPath -Application "Inventor"
