iLogic has the capabilities to access the physical properties of part files such as mass / area / volume etc. ilogic syntax to read the inertial properties of the part file such as Global Ixx / Iyy / Izz??
I can find it in the API help, but i don't really want to write it as separate code, just want to simply access it through iLogic interface.

Is there a way to export properties such as Moment of inertial to Partlist or use it as a customer property?

I'm currently creating a program to replace all fasteners in an assembly with there Metric / Imperial opposites. My program works and I've created a log file for any issues that do come up.
My question now is:
Is there any way to manipulate bolted connections through the API? Or is this not supported yet?
I cannot seem to find anything to do with them. It's strange though as my program creates an error log for the Lock Washers in the Bolted Connection (which it was struggling with previously anyways), but shows the other fasteners as being successful.
I am trying to have access to the property Custom scale of the Viewport object and trigger a piece of code as soon as I pick the Viewport and change the zoom / Custom scale property.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to force an update of mass property values of a component from within an iLogic routine?
I am trying to produce a calibration chart showing the volumes of an irregular shaped object by taking incremental slices off the component and accessing the "volume" of the remaining portion, then writing the the results to an external file - All from within a "For - Next" loop.
The main routine works O.K. but the resultant chart only shows the original starting volume for each slice instead of the required reducing volumes.
I am a novice with iLogic and can only assume that I must somehow "update" the mass properties of the sliced object before reading its new volume on each pass.
After changing colors at assembly level only ,below is a rule that changes all parts that have material "Plywood" to poplar works great.
However I want a rule that does the same kind of change but on only temporally at assembly level only then we can change back to default colors by removing color override.
It would be good if we can do the following
Search assembly for .ipt files that have material that contains PlywoodChange to color using temporary override of "Clear - Light" Possibility of searching more materials within same rule ie : "Timber" to be black in color"Pvcu"to be white in color
Dim oCurrentDoc As Inventor.Document

Inventor 2012, DWG drawing file Revision table - iLogic
Using iLogic, how to extract data from "Design Tracking Properties" in a revision table to an embedded or linked Excel spread sheet? Design Tracking Properties like "Today's Date", "Designer", "Checked By", "Eng Approved By" are of great interest.
I want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model. I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault. So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings: Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.
I want to know what the best in class practice is? What are others doing? I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.
We have written a VB6 program for non-Inventor users that uses the Autodesk Inventor Object Library from an install of the Inventor Viewer 2011-2012. The program collects drawing sets from a VaultMirror folder exported from the actual Inventor vault. In addition, the program exports assembly parts to a formatted Excel file for purchasing.
We thought that it worked fine but, have recently found an issue: the program reads and exports ALL items referenced in an assembly, not just items in the parts list. For a particular assembly that I am using to test with, there are seven items in the parts list but, 23 parts referenced in total in the assembly. So, we get an Excel export with 23 + line items and when plotting to pdf, get 23 pdf files instead of the seven that should be created.
We are using the ApprenticeServerComponent to open the file objects but, I can't find a parts list. I have reviewed a number of posted examples of accesing parts lists and opening ApprenticeServerDrawingDocument objects but, nothing seems to work. It is like I don't have access to all of the object types needed to make it happen.
Should I be trying to open an iam or idw to access the parts list?
Are there any very basic code examples available of accessing a parts list?
How we can access the part parameters after hitting create iAssembly. do I need to make i parts first and then bring them to an assembly and make an iAssembly??
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm crating a macro wich would allow me to select multiple parts in an assembly and then calculate the length of each part. The parts are tubes wich are made of a sinlge sweep.
I started from the example truesweeplength, and built from there.
Now my problem is accessing the sweepfeature from the assembly.
In the part enviroment i use this:
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
Dim oDef As PartComponentDefinition
Dim osweepcount As Long
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Set oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
osweepcount = oDef.Features.SweepFeatures.Count
The sweepcount is simply to check how many sweep features are in the part.
This works fine in part level.Now from assembly level I first create an obecjtcollection from all the parts I selected
Set oOccurrences = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection
Then I try to acces the first occurence
oDoc.SelectSet.Item(1)
But then I'm stuck. I cant find the way to acess the features of the selected part.

I have installed Inventor 2014 and Revit 2014 on to Windows 8.1 64 Bit.The install went fine.
The only problem I have struck is that for instant if I create a new Assembly and want to open the Content Center from Assemble - Place - Place from Content Center. Nothing happens when I go through this path way, there's no error, you know it's trying as the harddrive light is flashing away rapidly for a few minutes each time you ask for it to open.
What I have tired so far is to install service pack 1 and update 1 to service pack 1, neither have made a difference.
I made a simple dialog to access some of the iproperties. This is quite handy when working on a drawing of a part, but there is one flaw with this script. If the part's description has a function referencing the parts dimensions for instance, when my script gets the description it gets the plain text and not the formula. Meaning if the part's description is "=<d0> X <d1> X <d2>" and appears as "1 X 2 X 3" the script will get "1 X 2 X 3" and when it resaves the description it will over write the formula with plain text.
Is it possible to get the formula so my script could display that for editing instead of the plain text?
Below is a part of the code I'm using and it's the standard code I've seen for retreiving ipropterties.
Dim invDoc As Document Set invDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.ItemByName(GetToken(PartList.Value, 3, Chr(1))) Dim invDesignInfo As PropertySet Set invDesignInfo = invDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties") Dim invProperty(1 To 4) As Property Set invProperty(1) = invDesignInfo.Item("Part Number") partnumber.Value = invProperty(1).Value Set invProperty(2) = invDesignInfo.Item("Description") description.Value = invProperty(2).Value

This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.
I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.
the properties palette started only showing the current properites for the drawing and not the properties of the entity selected. what causes this i am using autocad civil 3d 2013.

Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.

I finally got some Lisp scripts working. They generate a block library from a CSV file. The script reads the file, and generates a simple rectangular block based on dimensions on the line. I have another script that can read a csv of block names and values, and add these as attributes to the block.
The attributes added are simple, like "weight" and "max stack qty". I would like to be able to see these values in the properties tab or in quick properties. In my CUI I have "Display Custom Attributes" checked under "block reference".
However, when I select a block, no attributes show up. I can get it to show me things like "name" and all of the scaling values, just no attributes.
why the BOM settings would be greyed out, when trying to add a BOM to a drawing? I also can not expand sub-assemblies.
