I've been working with the Design Automation API to run some simple scripts on some drawing files, but my output file is always corrupted and I'm not sure why.
I'm running the following script to add some data to a drawing in a MTEXT
; Some setup of variables
;
; Get the co-ords of the bottom right corner
(setq x-coord (car (getvar 'extmax)))
(setq y-coord (cadr (getvar 'extmin)))
; Move the coords away from the drawing a bit
(setq y-coord (- y-coord 5))
; Create multi-line text at bottom right in a 200 x 100 box
-mtext (list x-coord y-coord) h 2 (list (+ x-coord 200) (- y-coord 100)) - - MED data - -

(command "_save" "result.dwg")
; end
This script works well when I run it in a local version of autoCAD but when I run it on the Design Automation API the results file is a small un-openable mess!
I am making the activity with the following details
{
"HostApplication":"",
"RequiredEngineVersion":"20.1",
"Parameters":{
"InputParameters": [
{
"Name":"HostDwg",
"LocalFileName":"$(HostDwg)"
}
],

"Name":"Result",
"LocalFileName":"result.dwg"
}
]
},
"Instruction":{
"CommandLineParameters":null,
"Script":"; Some setup of variables\n;\n; Get the co-ords of the bottom right corner\n(setq x-coord (car (getvar 'extmax)))\n(setq y-coord (cadr (getvar 'extmin)))\n; Move the coords away from the drawing a bit\n(setq y-coord (- y-coord 5))\n; Create multi-line text at bottom right in a 200 x 100 box\n-mtext (list x-coord y-coord) h 2 (list (+ x-coord 200) (- y-coord 100)) - - MED data - - \nProject: Project X\nEnd User: TestCorp\nTag No: P1234567\nVersion: 1\nCreated: 29\/09\/16\nModified: 29\/09\/16\n\n(command \"_save\" \"result.dwg\")\n; end"
},

}
When I run this activity on the Design Automation API I get the following response
ActivityId => 'TagMtextDataAndSave'

This is where things get confusing. As you can see above the report has Status => 'Succeeded' but if we look at the bytes in/out we see
BytesTranferredIn => (int) 59840
BytesTranferredOut => (int) 22702
And when I try to download and open the file autoCAD says it is corrupted, which is no surprise as a lot seems to be missing. I've downloaded the report from the API and again I cannot see any reason why this is failing!

I've got no idea what's causing these issues when everything seems to point to success. Any help would be great.
If you need any more info please let me know.
======= Update =======
Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I've been out of the office for a few days so not had chance to test your ideas.
I thought over the weekend I may be running autoCad 2017 but I've checked this morning and it's 2016. I tried to run the script again using the 21.0 engine as a test, but the result was almost the same!
I have allowed share access to the g-drive dir where I am taking the file from and I have also uploaded the results.dwg file and the last report there for you guys to have a look at.
You can find them here
I'm sure there is something stupid I am missing
