AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy A Ilogic Assembly Without Suppressed Parts
Feb 13, 2012
I have a iLogic assembly with some parts and sub assembly. I need to do a copy of this " Generator " to apply the result later in other assemblies. (something like a member of a ipart or i assembly).
Is there any way to do the copy the assembly to a new folder without the suppressed parts and subassemblies (wich are suppressed in the initial main assembly by iLogic rules)?
I tried to use "Pack and go" and "iLogic design copy", but they always bring the suppressed parts and assembly's, to the new folder and which i don't need to apply in the other assemblies.

Is there a way to work with parameters on a suppressed assembly using iLogic.Everything works fine, but when I suppressed a part ilogic rule give me an error: Parameter: The component named "xxxxx:1" was not found.

When I suppress a part or a sub-assembly in Inventor 2013 and then right click on the suppressed item in the browser window I always get an cadabundus error message (see attachment), after I press OK I get the normal right click menu hovering over the item.
I have Inventor 2013 RTM 64 bit Build 138, and running on Vista 64bit.

I have an assembly which has a few components suppressed.
My end results is another copy of the assembly (with copies of the all the parts) in another directory
Now i am able to create copies of un-suppressed parts using; (this allows me to SaveAs assembly components which are not suppressed)
DocumentsEnumerator = ThisDoc.Document.AllReferencedDocuments
And save a copy of the assembly using
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs
I also added the fllowing snippet (which I am not sure what is does), but it does not work for me
Component.SkipDocumentSave = true
When I open the newly created assembly, I still see the suppressed components in the model browser
I want to either;
Skip saving the of the components in the model browser (i.e. the Assembly)
OR
Delete the suppressed parts in the Assembly, so that they do not save altogether

I am trying to make an assembly copy as separate project using the iLogic Design Copy feature.
Everything seems fine except I do not have my involved in assemblyContet Centerparts in this copy.
I am also have no any possibility to chose the Content Center folder in the iLogic Design Copy feature as it does not showup there.

I would like to count all my parts in the main assembly and assign that amount to each part.
Example: Main assembly has: 10 Parts A and 5 Parts B. I would like to run a rule that "sends" that "10" to Part A.ipt and the "5" to Part B.ipt
I would like to assign it to iProperties.Status.Status. I start to understand iLogic more and more but it is nice to get a little boost in the right direction.

I Created an iLogic Rule that sets up some parameters.
I want to Automatically opens each and every Part in my assembly, run this Rule, and then save it without me having to do so manually.

I like to copy an assembly and save it under different number or name but the assembly made of huge number of parts. In order to re-name the assembly I have to go through each part and re-name them first.
Is there a way to re-name the assembly and parts all at once. I know there is a way with "pack and go" but i don't know how does it works?

I have used Inventor for quite a while but never for much more than the odd 3D model.
I have recently created templates that allow me to use Inventor to create detailed fabrication drawings rather than relying on AutoCAD. But I have run across a question with regards to the BOM. Let me try and explain my issue.
I currently create assemblies for fabricated items. However, in the complete (or top level assembly) there may be multiple fabricated items (assemblies required). At the moment I create the BOM and manually edit the quantities required to reflect the number of assemblies (and resulting parts) that are required.
In my assembly file I created a parameter called "AssemNo" which is meant to reflect the number of assemblies required. In my part files I created a parameter called "AssemQty". I would insert the following iLogic code for each part in the assembly:
quantity - This.BOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "PartNumber")*AssemNo
Parameter("Part Name:1", "AssemQty") = quantity
This works but it requires me to create that line of code for every part in my assembly. I know an iLogic code can be created to search an assembly and change parameters of all parts (see below as an example to copy Occurence name to iProperties >
' set a reference to the assembly component definintion.
' This assumes an assembly document is open.
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
'Iterate through all of the occurrences
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oOccurrence In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences
Dim oName As String
oName = oOccurrence.Name
iProperties.Value(oOccurrence.Name, "Project", "Part Number") = oName
MessageBox.Show(oOccurrence.Name, "iLogic")
Next
Can the two be combined?

I often want to copy a design (assembly plus used parts) to some other folder as a quick start for some derived work. I want to be able to work on this copy without influencing the original and visa versa.
The problem is when copying with the windows copy command, the references to the parts point to the original folder. I read that you can use the Copy feature of the Vault for this. But I'm not using the Vault and don't want to.
Pack and Go is also not a good solution because it copies a lot of other stuff and makes a new project file. How can I do this. It seems so a simple operation. But I can not figure out how to do that!

Looking for views on what the best method is to copy a selection of parts in IV 2013 which will result in the copied selection to retain it's constraints ? I have an assembly which I have used the mirror method on a batch of parts, also used the standard copy method and pattern components.

here's a macro I wrote to copy the filename to the Part Number iProperty for all parts and sub-assemblies contained in a top-level assembly. I wrote this after using a bunch of custom iParts and all the Part Numbers were the same for each part! (my fault of course, but a pain to fix one at a time).
Public Sub SetAllComponentPartNumbersToFileName()
Dim oAsmDoc As AssemblyDocument
Set oAsmDoc = GetActiveAssembly
If oAsmDoc Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
SetAssemblyComponentPartNumbersToFileName oAsmDoc
End Sub

I have created some "programs" to automate drawing creation of some of our most common products. The problem I hav eis with my assembly drawing. When parts are suppressed and unsuppressed, they don't seem to behave the same way that features do. When you dimension a part feature in an idw and suppress that feature, if a week later you unsuppress that feature the dimenensions come back. Parts don't seem to follow this behaviour. If you dimension a part, suppress it, open and save the drawing, then later unsuppress it and open the drawing back up the dimesnions do not come back. Is there anyway for me to get these dimensions to "stick"?

I am trying to model a large Control panel assembly using Inventor Pro 2011. It comprises of a main assembly with several adaptive sub assemblies containing the various items. (Relays assy, label assy, fixing assy etc). All works ok until I start using Levels of Detail to enable me break the assembly into smaller workable parts. I.e. Left door, right door, main panel full, main panel no doors etc. These will be used to create view reps from for my drawing views at a later date.
The problem I am having is I keep getting constraints failing on parts which are suppressed in various levels of detail. An example of this Is when I go to right door LOD and do a rebuild all, I get constraint errors from item relating to the main panel which is suppressed. I can suppress the constraint causing the error but when I return to the full panel LOD the constraint is still suppressed and the parts appear In the wrong place.

How to modify the code below to delete suppressed parts in a pattern (entire pattern)?
Dim oComp As ComponentOccurrenceDim oComps As ComponentOccurrencesoComps = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencesFor Each oComp In oCompsIf Component.IsActive(oComp.Name) = False Then oComp.DeleteNext
Code works fine if there are single instances of the part. It throws a error when you have a suppressed pattern.

How could I center the suppressed constraint? I woul like to selecet it in the listbox.

Set oAssDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oConstraint As AssemblyConstraint
For Each oConstraint In oAssDoc.ComponentDefinition.Constraints
If oConstraint.HealthStatus = kSuppressedHealth Then
Call ListBox1.AddItem(oConstraint.Name)
End If
Next oConstraint

In the drawing environment, is it possible to use the same file to show a client (example) option a or option b from the file? Meaning, can I create a separate side by side view in the idw using the same assembly file, but in different suppressed states? Or how does this work specifically? Right now all I have done is saved out the file with the different suppressed state showing, but this became obviously cumbersome quickly since the parts are similar and keep updating, thus forcing me to create yet even more optional files. I'm thinking that iLogic could be a possible fix.

We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.

I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

I'm looking for the best way to create a separate assembly out of various component parts in an existing assembly so that the whole thing can be placed in an assembly as you would a part, I know it's possible to demote components within an assembly but are there any other methods similar / better ?

it is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.
For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?

My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.

i placed an ilogic component (wich i use as a template to later change dimentions) into an assembly file after changing dimentions i placed the same "template" ilogic component into the assembly but when i want to change something on the second component it also changes the first one and that only happens with only one feature of the component the other features work fine.

I have numerous step files which I have imported into an assembly. I now need to move all the imported files to a predefined UCS (not 0,0,0). I can do this manually by using the assemble command and selecting the centre point then selecting the centre point of the pre-defined UCS.
I have potentially thousands of parts to move in various assemblies, is there a way to do this using iLogic and if so, how?

If I draw a flat square, and then a flat circle next to it, can I do things using iLogic that will make the two seperate parts interact? such as say 'if the circle contacts the square, then make the square become a circle too' or something like that?
