Open API, problem with plot

[freeman3k]

Hello,
I'm new of the forum and NXOpen/C#, I'm try to write a command utility to plot in pdf a UGS/NX3 drawing, but I hit some problems and due to my poor experience I'm not able to fix it.

My first attempt was to create a CGM to PDF converter, but I realize is not possible to do.

So the second attempt was open a .prt drawing then convert in pdf, but here I got 2 problem

1) I was unable to do Plot.SaveCgm due to this error:
Unhandled Exception: NXOpen.NXException: NX error status: 1105012
at NXOpen.UF.UFPlot.SaveCgm(Tag drawing_sheet, JobOptions& job_options, String job_name, BannerOptions& banner_options, String cgm_file_name)
at cgm2jpg.CGM2IMAGEConverter..ctor(String[] args) in D:\User Profiles\apelle\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\cgm2jpg\cgm2jpg\CGM2IMAGECon
verter.cs:line 88
at cgm2jpg.CGM2IMAGEConverter.Main(String[] args) in D:\User Profiles\apelle\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\cgm2jpg\cgm2jpg\CGM2IMAGEConv
erter.cs:line 115

2) I use as pre-condition and existing CGM file and then try to print to file with: Plot.PrintFile, no error seems to be riese but no output will write. Here the log of NXPlot
