Is there a way to set the event trigger of an ilogic file that's already inside of a document? I have code that can automatically create and populate new rules across my assembly parts, but it would be nice to set certain rules to fire every time that part gets saved.
If it can't be accomplished outright from the API, would it be possible to throw an OnEvent (save event in this case) inside of the iLogic code, to get the same results? URL...
How to get the API to add an iLogic Event Trigger but I cannot find the exact code on how to do it.
Is there a Simple way to add an Ilogic Rule (External or Internal) to an event trigger with a VBA Macro or iLogic Rule?
I would like to automate adding an iLogic rule to an Event Trigger when we update our old drawings.
The details of the Rule I am trying to call is as follows:
Rule Name = Save On Close Commands
Event = Before Close
We currently have Inventor 2013 and 2014. If it is not possible in 2013, is it possible in 2014?

Is there any chance to define an event trigger which runs an iLogic rule when we check out an already open file? Problem is, that we need to synchronize iProperties on check out to clear "Approved by" when Vault State of Part is "under revision"
Vault Parameter "State" is mapped with iProperty "State".
So I want to run the following on check out:
Call ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultPropertyWriteBack").Execute2(True)
Using Ilogic 2010 I wish to trigger my rule on sheet change. Is this something that can be done? I am using it to zoom the drawing on sheet change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an iPart which includes iLogic Rule. When I change iPart by table, iLogic Rules are not triggered.
In iLogic Utilities, there is a button "Rules Triggered by Events", If I use "Any Model Parameter Change", the update need long time, looks like Inventor is "No Response". I like the way "Material Change", but I need "part Number" change to trigger the rules. How can I do it? I tried other events as After Open, Before Save, etc, they are does not work.
I want to simply set a custom iproperty as the Description in each part file within my assembly. I can do this easily at part level with ilogic but I want to be able to run the rule from the assembly level and all the parts run the rule. I am struggling to find a way to do this.
I think this may be the best method I have found but I think it must be far easier?

I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.
The more info tab says:
System.ArgumentException: iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

I'm making some ilogic code for my new drawing templates and I'd like run part of the code only when the rule is trigger by the "after open document" trigger. Is there a way to check which trigger started an iLogic rule or would I be stuck making a second rule which is only triggered by the "after open document" trigger?

why this will not run as an external rule? It runs fine as an internal one.The error I get is object referance not set to an instance of an object?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've made an External rule in Ilogic that must read a parameter value (Thickness) to set a value in a property (StockNumber).
The value is not written to the property by Using 'Select Case', see code. There is no error or something like that. So what am I doing wrong?
Tested in an internal rule, where Select Case = <Thickness> instead of Parameter ("Thickness") and that works fine.....
Select Case Parameter("Thickness")Case 2iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686001"Case 4iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686002"Case 3iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686003"End SelectiLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
I tried to read an environment with iLogic and to combine it with an external rule name and to pass the whole path over to iLogicVB.RunExternalRule.
StrPath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ILOGIC_DIR")ilogic_rule = "IPT__01_New_Document_EXT.iLogicVb"rule = StrPath & ilogic_rule'MessageBox.Show(rule, "iLogic Rule to execute")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule(rule)
The message box shows the correct path, but I allways receive a error massage:
'GetEnvironmentVariable' is not a member of 'Inventor.Environment'
My company has recently switched from the H drive to the G drive. This has resulted in a lot of old files still referring to the H drive where the External Ilogic rules used to be. I'm wondering if there's any automatic way to change that? Uploading a pic showing the event triggers as they are now.

I need import all new params, rules and forms from a new template to older parts. I'm trying to use an external rule to create a new iproperties and import params from xml file but I can't assign these parameters with these iproperties.

Is there a way to invoke the iLogic Rule Editor and pass it an existing rule name or external rule for editing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a way to run a rule which is saved in my top-level assembly using iLogic rule which is saved in a part file in the parent assembly.
I have even tried using an external rule in a txt file, but that gives the error "Component: This function can only be used in an assembly." - which makes no sense to me. I hope I am just missing something simple. I cant believe with all its other strengths, that iLogic would be so limited in that regard. Why is there not simply a snippet under the 'Run Other' that allows you to specify an assembly file and the rule name? (like there is for running a rule in a component from the assembly)
how can I close an iLogic Form from either an iLogic Rule, or a VBA Rule (VBA is the Preferred method)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a few assemblies setup that are controlled with a bunch of iLogic rules to modify all related parts when parameters are changed at the assembly level. I also have an opening message that pops up when the assembly model is opened (After Open Document trigger) to tell people how to use the parameters to make modifications.
Now, when this assembly model is placed into a drawing I am getting random pop ups of the opening message when placing views of additional models in the same drawing. If you open the drawing and try to place a base view of another model, Inventor stops to think for a minute or so before having the opening message of the iLogic controlled model pop up. The only event trigger for this message is "After Open Document" and the model is not being opened; why it is being triggered in the drawing and/or how to make it stop?
I am currently using a vb.net application to control inventor using the API code.The API code is used to delete/suppress unwanted occurances from parts and sub-assemblies, depending on what is selected in the external application. It then puts all the parts and sub-assemblies together into a final assembly.
Most of the parts contain iLogic rules, to control dimensions, and these have been set to trigger when the part file is opened.I have noticed that in my final assemblies some of the parts don't appear as they should, however if i close the final assembly and open the individual part it appears to be correct. If i then open the final assembly it looks fine.
I think this might be due to the iLogic rule being triggered when the part is opened.Is there any way to trigger the rules using the API code while the final assembly is open, instead of closing it down and opening all the component parts and sub-assemblies?Or should we set the rules to trigger on a parameter change?
I have a ipt which is controlled via an ilogic form,this form is opened by ilogic code, which in turn is triggered when the ipt is opened.
my problem is when the part is placed within an assembly the said form is triggered and the same happens when the assembly is reopened!.... I would prefer if the form opened only when the ipt is opened or edited....
Is there a snippet of code for this? Or is it even possible?
Is it possible to have an iLogic rule trigger a standalone .exe?

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.

Is it possible to run an external rule in assembly occurrences?
You have RunRule in Component, But it does not seem to work with external rules
I referenced to occurrences and opened it using ThisApplication.Documents.Open(filepath, False)
Then i tried calling the same external rule. I thought it would run the external rule in the opened file,
but I ended up with a infinite loop on the main assembly.
Is there a way to run your rule in every occurrence with external?
