Im adjusting the CAD setup in our company, and therefore im looking for a way do change the document settings on all parts in an assembly (or the whole CAD directory) the easiest way possible.!
I have attached a picture of the setting i would like changed.
Is it possible with some Autodesk task scheduler tools..?
or can it be done with an ilogic rule?
Im looking to make a simple ilogic rule that can toggle an option in the document settings, the setting I would like to change is the Document settings> Modeling> Participate in assembly and drawing sections
I would like a form to switch the option on and off quickly, its a really usefull function however I know a few of my colleagues wont use if they cant find it easly.
Is there a way in iLogic to change the document setting for an .idw file?

How do I change the document units using iLogic rules.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to change the default precision shown in my drawing from two decimal places to three. In my .idw file the "Units" tab does not seem to be there. I see Standard, Sketch, Drawing, Sheet. I could change each dimension one by one, but there's got to be an easier way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs 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...
Where did they put it in IV 2013?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to set Default BOM Structure (Document Settings/Bill of Materials) in my own Form (with Rule) for active part/assembly.
This Form (Rule) will be in template. Is there any simple way to do this (picture is in attachment)?
I have an assembly with a dozen or so rules and a form in it.
After selections have been made on the form, one of the rules saves the assembly as a new assembly (save as).
This closes the first assembly and opens the "saved as" assembly, BUT the form from the first assembly stays open.
It appears the first assembly gets closed so quickly the form does not close also.
I can just hit "done" button on the form to close it in new assembly, but would rather the form close automatically.
Is there code that I can add to close the form ??
If my style library is enabled in project it always refresh definitions whenever i create a document using template and press update the window in snapshot shows up.
Is there any way to do vice versa - i.e. get all these items updated in style library as per the current document setting.
I have a spreadsheet and iLogic driven mater assy to generate different iterations.
I would like to change the scale of a base view on a drawing based on a parameter in my assembly. The idea is to get iLogic to change the view using a simple If / Else statement.
This is what I tried:
If Parameter("0 Generic Assembly v2.2.iam.BP") < 1570 Then
ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/8
Else
ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/10
EndIf
So basically the value of "BP" parameter (excel parameter in my assy) would drive the scale of the views. But its not working. Is it actually a sensible method? Can I use in the drawing environment the excel parameters in my assembly?
This is the error message I get when the rule is run:
"Error in rule: View Scale, in document: 0 Generic Assembly v2.2.idw
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))"
Also using the same thinking I use iLogic to populate the drg number field on the drawing based on an excel parameter. The rule works but does not always updates the drawing no upon the parameter change or update/rebuild commands.
When I add "Document Settings" to the quick acess toobar it causes Inventor to Crash when I close the active .ipt, idw, etc.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'd hoped that I could change the name of a part document like I did with sketches, simply assignment:
BSTR bstrName ;pPartDoc->get_FullDocumentName (&bstrName) ;wprintf (L"
Full document name was %s
",wchar_t(bstrName)) ;pPartDoc->FullDocumentName = L"Whatever" ;
But the compiler complains about no put method on that last line.How do I change the name of a Part Document programatically?
When I import a part from content center, a tube in this case, I get a length parameter called <PL>.
I am using this parameter in the parts lists, so it shows "=Outer diameter x thickness x <PL>"
However I don't want trailing zeros, leading zeros or units string to be shown.
I know I can open the parameters window, right click the parameter, then click custom property format and then uncheck these boxes and its fine.
But I want to know if there is a smarter way to do this, like creating a rule to execute on all the parts?
I have around 500 pipes with the parameter <PL> that needs to be changed.
I've seen snipppets of code to get the Sheet name but is there a way to set it via code? I'm thinking it might be useful to set the sheet names to the chosen sheet format (as opposed to just 'Sheet').
I'm sprucing up my drawing template...
Rule #1 is for selecting sheet format (which title block/sheet size / orientation)
Rule #2 is for setting iproperty values to populate the titleblock with info. (if required)
Rule #1 was based on code from S.Bixler & inventortrenches
Rule#2 was based on more code taken from here.
Issue between an i-assembly and i-Logic. So, I have an assembly that includes some extra components that are not always needed and therefore an i-Logic rule takes the decision whether these will be suppressed or not.
Of course this is not a problem however it turns out that I miss some info from BOM according to the suppressed parts ...and all these makes sense following the LOD etc.
A potential solution to keep up to date the BOM while you are excluding the needless components is to create
an i-Assembly.
To keep that simple I turned my current Assembly to an i-Assembly and very successfully I excluded various components and of course I included some others by adding extra ROWS.
So far So good
Now I want to apply some dimensional boundaries by using i-Logic rules. According to them I want to allow this i-assembly to jump among these different ROWS that meet the right criteria.
Very rough thoughts led me to the following code...
For example...
If Width > 600 Then
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-1'
Else
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-2'
End if
The Problem is that the above code works fine, for a example, in case that I will place an i-part in my assembly... However I am looking to change the row of the actual assembly that as I mentioned before I turned it to an i-assembly
To make this even more clear I want to be able to manipulate my i-assembly with i-Logic rules while this is open in Inv. I don't want to change rows while this is placed as a component or sub-assembly in an another assembly...
I'm using rules to control a part that I made. This part is available in steel and wood.
But steel = normal and wood is something we have to buy.
I would like to adjust my rule so that my material choice will effect the "Default BOM Structure"
I just can't find the right "code" to start with.
I am using Inventor 2012: I have a table with different part numbers. I want to create an iLogic rule to change the color of second solid body in my part for a specific part number.
This is what I did.
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray"
ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796V" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Dark)"
ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796N" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Light)"
Else
Feature.Color("plastic")="Gray"
End If
However it does not change the color of the second solid body when I make the part number active.
I have a sheet metal part that I converted into an iPart and I set up different rows with different sheet metal styles. What I want to do is run an iLogic code to change to a specific row which in turn would change the actual material of that sheet metal part....I've tried the snippet iPart.ChangeRow but cannot get it to run the code. I'm not sure if I'm not doing something right or what...

I already have been updating the DisplayName of documents but this name only shows in the Browser Bar and Title bar in Inventor.
When multiple documents are loaded, there are document tabs shown in het bottom area of the Inventor window, these show the File Name. I would like to show the DisplayName there but I don't knop how.

I would like to know if it is possible to use iLogic to change the Hole Type from Through to Tapped as conditions dictate. Is this even possible? I already have a backup plan but wanted to check out all possibilites before I proceed. Using Inventor 2012 SP2.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?
For example:
I generated "Part1.ipt" and "Part2.ipt",...... (I have hundred of member)
In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.

So far im doing ok with the standard ilogic code, but when it´s API or VBA code im lost.. which leads me to this.. i've been searching the forum back and forth to find a code that performs the feature "Shrinkwrap", and somehow everything i have found so far does not work... even the code example in Inventors help menu under programming, Therefore im trying to solve this with Curtis's code as staring point..

I need to change one dimension using iLogic. It changes due to the path taken to manufacture the part. In a nutshell majority of the time the "OD" has a +.004 / .000 tolerance and the model is drawn at the minimum size. There are cases when the "OD" has a +.005/-.005 tolerance and is modeled at the nominal size. I've learned some of the iLogic to make the change I'm after but not all. I'm having trouble setting ModelValueType to change the model size.
See the code below, for setting +/-.005"

The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser.

I want to be able to change the header on a PL in a drawing using iLogic.
I'm able to "find" the PL(s) on a drawing but can't seem to figure out how to access the header property My goal to to change the header to show the P/N of the assembly/part it's created from.
My Current code is below:
doc=ThisDrawing.Document
oBOMs=doc.DrawingBOMs
For Each oBOM In oBOMs
MessageBox.Show("Found a PL", "Title")
Next oBom
In between the for/next loop is where I want to access the current BOM and change it's header depending on the related .iam/.ipt.
Change pattern ilogic. How do you change the distance and quantity in an assembly with ilogic?
It is simple in a part but in an assembly the parameters and equations do show.
