Creating a draiwng of a generic from a template in J Link

[sbots]

Using the code below I am able to create drawings using a template of all model types other then family table generics. When the model is a generic the code will not execute properly.

WhenI try to manually follow the steps in Pro/ENGINEER fr creating a drawing from atemplateif I select a family table generic as the model for the drawing it prompts me again to select a model from the family table, generic or instance.

How do I programatically tell Pro/ENGINEER to use the generic model for the drawing from template? Am I going about this the wrong way?

public static Drawing drawingFromTemplate (Model model, String drawingName, String template){

Drawing drawing = null;

try{
Session session = pfcGlobal.GetProESession();

Utilities.log("Creating drawing instructions");
DrawingCreateOptions options = DrawingCreateOptions.create();
options.insert(0, DrawingCreateOption.DRAWINGCREATE_DISPLAY_DRAWING);

Utilities.log("Creating drawing from template "+template);
drawing = session.CreateDrawingFromTemplate(drawingName, template, model.GetDescr(), options);
Utilities.log("Drawing created");
}
catch (jxthrowable e){
Utilities.log("JLink Exception creating drawing from template");
Utilities.log(e);
}
return drawing;

Hi Scott
There has been some changes on handling of Family Table Instances in
J-link from Wildfire 4.0. You can read about it in the API Wizard's
Summary of Technical Changes.

You could try this in your method after having detected you have a
generic:
drawing = session.CreateDrawingFromTemplate(drawingName, template, ((
FamilyMember )((Solid)model)).GetImmediateGenericInfo, options);
