[Geomedia-l] Layout Automation

[Matthias Lambracht]

Hello, 

I'm working with GeoMedia Professional 6.0 and I want to automate the layout
and add a Cartographic Grid programmatically. My code is running up to
oLWPlacementService.PlaceCartographicGrid(objSF). Then I had an error says
"Invalid map frame selected. Choose a valid map Smartframe."

 

Has anyone an idea to solve the problem? Thanks
