I'm trying to find a way to add a custom button to my ribbon that will launch a global rule or form using VB. I know of a way using VBA but I want to get away from VBA. I'd much rather create an add with VB and use that.
I'm currently running IV 2012.
Is it possible to add a stop or cancel button onto ilogic code?
I have code that looks into all .ipts with a certain material type,that works great but if we run by accident there is no way of stopping code until it finishes .
I have created some custom button in VBA. I wish I can make those buttons toggling their image.
For example my custom button toggles Part/Component priority or Highligt on/off and I would like the button image will change showing the current state.
The background image color change will work too, or the some extra tiny mark on working sceen would be useful if it quite complicated to deal with ribbons.
Generally I need to see the current state at glance.
<Subassembly document name>” = iProperties.Value("Custom", "CUSTOMER P.O. NUMBER") iProperties.ValueInDoc("<Subassembly document name>.iam", "Custom", "CUSTOMER P.O. NUMBER")= Ucase(InputBox("CUSTOMER P.O. NUMBER?", "Create Customer P.O.#", iProperties.Value("Custom", "CUSTOMER P.O. NUMBER")))

I'm not sure that I actually want to access the button per say, but instead launch the dialog box. I'm not sure if this differs your answer in any way, but I searched the customization forum and found little information.
I was looking for some iLogic Code for Inventor 2013 that would cycle through all the parts in an assembly grabbing the quantity of each part and setting it equal to the custom property "Qty" of each part.
Having a little trouble creating the for each loop and setting reference to each part without referencing each part by specific name.
So I can run the following code from the command line with no problem:
(WRK-Insert_Standards_Block '("S:\AUTOCAD\_Common\Linetypes\CSW_Civil-Linetype"))
(WRK-Insert_Standards_Block '("S:\AUTOCAD\_Common\Linetypes\CSW_Survey-Linetype"))
(WRK-Layer_Insert_all "CSW-X-FM_Layers_List")
However when I put it into a macro (custom command to be used from the ribbon) it spits out the following in my command line:
(WRK-Insert_Standards_Block '("S:

I would like to instantly launch an External Rule just by clicking on a button in the Global Forms area of the iLogic browser. Is this possible, and if so, how would I do it?

When using Inventor with Vault, we have a problem when categorizing custom content center parts in Vault. In short, custom content center parts are incorrectly categorized as "Content Center" and automatically released - as there is no property that we can use to identify these files.
I need iLogic code to trigger when custom content center files are created/saved, wich adds the following custom iproperty "IsCustomContentCenter=True".

Trying to make some of code collapsible.According to what i know this is achieved like this
'[

However it does not work, I am assuming that this is because I am running INV 2009 +ilogic.
I know I can make a button on the ribbon for running a specific macro. But, is this possible for iLogic rules? I would love to be able to run rules and launch forms from the ribbon!?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to log out of vault from within Inventor using iLogic codes. I have created an iLogic rule that automates export an assembly drawing and all sub component drawings. In my code, I have suppressed all Inventor prompts but I do not have a way to suppress Vault prompts. I can manually log off from vault and run this rule without any problems. However, if I forget to do so, I am stuck responding to update requests from vault and check out requests constantly for each and every file.

I recently created some iLogic based components. I wonder how difficult it is to protect the iLogic code, similar as VBA code which can be password protected.
The reason being:
1. Of course, to hide & protect the creator's modeling logic;
2. To avoid the relation between parameters being messed up by the end user unintensionally.
I did have the opportunity to raise the question during the Portathon event and the answer was that the protection not directly available, though the workaround could be mixing with some Inventor API coding in .NET.
However, this might defeat one of the benefits of iLogic, simple and ease to use, gentlr learning curve, especially for users with VBA experience. .NET might not be so easy for a lot of engineers from mechanical or other disciplines.
1 Disable the "Edit" button for iLogic components, including rules, forms, etc.;
2. Put all code that are to be protected in an external file, and then make that file unreadable (password protected, or other protection) to un-intended user, however, readable to those who have proper access privelege.
A while back I figured out how to put a few characters before and after several lines of code in iLogic to make it compress to one line or expand to its full size inside the code editor. I belive this is a fairly common VBA command, but I can't figure out how to do it again.

I am trying to use a code window plugin on my website, and would like to create a temple for iLogic code. Is there any way to output iLogic code in a format that would work?
I cannot modify any of the existing templates because iLogic requires information as to whether to make some text brown or blue, and it would need some form of output to do that.

I have been manually highlighting or using images, but both have their problems. (cut & paste will lead to a pile of errors with the manual highlighting). I can create the css file, but need some form of output beyond cut & paste to work with.
If something is worked out, it will be added to the program and be available to everyone free (this is a Wordpress plugin).
