AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy IPropeties Back And Forth Between Part And Assy With ILogic
Jun 21, 2013
I need a simple iLogic code that lets me copy iProperties of my choosing from my assy and to a Part, and grab som iProperties from my part and put into Assy iProperties.
the Assy and part are always named the same, and placed in specific folder, so i can easily locate the files.
I have been searching the forum without finding anything i have the skills to adjust to my needs...
It should be like this..: (not written in correct code but you´ll get my point.. )
'Get partnumber from active assy or part, depending what you have active
PartN = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")
'Defining Assy file
Assy = "M:80000" & PartN &".iam"
'Definging Part file
Part = "M:80000" & PartN &".ipt"
[Code] ..........
If only i knew what to write in the above lines it would work

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`m looking for the iLogic code that can change one parameter (user defined) for each (ipt) part in assembly (iam)
The one below doesn`t work.
Sub Main Dim oApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication Dim oAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = oApp.ActiveDocument For Each oSubDoc as Inventor.Document In oAssy.AllReferencedDocuments On Error Resume Next Parameter(oSubDoc, "FH") = 15.26 Next End Sub

Is there a way to connect parameters from part1 to part 2 using iLogic, without using an assembly.

I have created the part based on piece of standard angle taken from library. Now I want to make a mirrored copy of this part by Component-Mirror.
Inventor does not let me do it with standard part.
The question is: How I can transform a standard part to normal one, I mean I could get rid of belonging to standard part? Making a copy does not work. The only way is to derive and mirror this part but I wish there could be easy way.

I started out with a single 3 dimensional piece i had made using sketches, and split it into two using the split feature under the modify tab. Now I would like to take each of those two pieces and copy them into their own individual part files. I could do this by remaking them, but was wondering if I could simply copy and paste them into separate files.

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.

I have two questions - one simple and one more complex, in my opinion. As of now I have a user form where one can enter a variety of values, hit a button, and it writes these values to a designated excel sheet. My first question is how would I be able to allow the user to change one value and have the rest of the entered values change based on this one value. For example if someone were to change the ID # of a part then the height and width would change corresponding to that ID number and would be displayed in the user form. I'm new to VBA so my thought process is kind of trash at the moment...
My second question is whether or not it is possible to write a vba program/macro that automatically utilizes iLogic Design Copy and makes copies of an assembly and continues to copy said assembly while adding a constantly increasing suffix ie -01, -02, -03... for a given number of times.

I need to derive a part in a model (not assembly and as a separate solid), to remove it and make a cavity. However, I need inventor to prompt what file is to be derived through iLogic.

I have an assembly with 20 parts.
I will make a detail drawing of the parts in the assembly.
In the detail part IDW I would like to have the qty needed for the assembly 1,2,4 ect.
So how I think the ilogic should work.
In the detail drawing have a rule named QTY when ran auto or manually Will pompt to pick the Top Level Assembly the parts are in.
The user will look for the top level assembly select it.
The rule would filter out all parts but the detail part number and return the QTY of parts needed for the assembly.
I only need the Qty.
I know this is done by the number of Occurrences in the assembly this I can find but what I can't find is how the user would look up the assembly and set it to parts only.
Like the pic below when doing a parts list.
I don't need the select view because it is a part and it would return QTY of 1 but the assembly may have 5.

I have an assembly which I want to replace one of the parts with one of four other parts.
My code reads:
Select Case Width
Case "750"
Component.Replace("part:1", "L:Drawingspart2", True)
End Select
This works fine and when 750 is selected, part1 is replaced with part2.
My problem is then if I want to select "1000" I don't know the part name which I will be replaced by part3 as this could be part1, part2, part4,or part5.

As I have a myPart.ipt file with iLogic Rules which could create part1.ipt, part2.ipt, ..... (hundreds of them).
Now, I want creats iLogic Rule in myAssembly.iam to run the iLogic Rules in myPart.ipt in order I could create correct .ipt file to be used in myAssembly.iam.

I have the same ilogic part placed in the same assembly, and i am trying to drive two different configurations of the same part and when i apply the configuration it changes both of the parts but to only one of the configurations.
Is there a way to drive them seperately even though they are the same part.

I have an assembly that I am working on that will be used as a configurator, driven by I-logic. Everything is work fine but there is one part off the assembly that will be custom to each new assembly. Is there a way to use I logic to open the ipt file save it as copy with different name and replace the original in the assembly. I know this can be done manual through the productivity tab within the assembly environment, but I am trying to automate the process so the end user will just have to follow prompts that will be given by i-logic.

I had with a custom texture not showing up on my parts while they were showing up on a coworkers computer fine. I recently cured my own issue (I just needed to click Textures On in the View toolbar under Appearances). I am thinking it is going to be a simple fix as well but I have not been able to find it.
Everytime I close out of a part or assembly it automatically turns the textures back off so I have to turn them on everytime. I looked through the Application Options and Document settings to keep textures turned on but could not find anything. How to turn the textures on and leave them on?

I would like to be able to add iproperty values to a derived part from the assembly..!
Breaking it down..:
When i run the rule, it creates a derived part from the Assembly i have open.
The iproperties from the assembly should be copied to the new Derived Part. or just set direclty from the rule, doesn't matter...

Before 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.
Which is the iLogic Code I should to use?
Inventor 2009, WIN XP.
Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 (64 Bit) SP2
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5645

Apparently the occurrences tab setting aren't easily accessible through the code snippets in ilogic.
How would one go about writing a rule that, in essense, would say:
If x = "whatever" then
occurrence.enabled = false
else
occurrence.enabled = true
end if
I've been reading that LOD's and suppression aren't the best course of action for assemblies especially when you're dealing with 20-40 parts as I am. I've got an assembly and parts controlled by a spreadsheet and when things are clicked off in the spreadsheet they need to be off in the model/drawings/bills etc. I have it working (to an extent) with suppression of parts in the assembly, but that casues LOD errors in the drawings. Research says parts are best disabled which is what i'm trying to do.

I got this code earlier from Curtis_Waguespack, and i would like to add a setting... When i run this rule it Derives the assembly, but LOD is set to Master, i would like it to be set to my own (Configurator) LOD...
I don't seem to be able to find anything in this code, that defines LOD...
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..
'set a reference to the assembly component definintion.'this assumes an assembly document is open.Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinitionoAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition 'define the path and file nameDim sPathandName As StringsPathandName = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)

I have created a ilogic rule that should set the size and the cut length of my parts. Most of the time the rule behave as I want it to. But sometime it gives me a error. See attached picture. By the way, I have included this rule in my custom content center parts (beam's etc). The rule is:
'Turn off workfeatures
ThisDoc.Document.ObjectVisibility.AllWorkFeatures = False
'check if the part has any geometry
If Measure.ExtentsLength="0" Then

I have made an iLogic external module who copy the iProperties from an Excel files, when i open the module from the *.ipt file il works perfectly. But i need this function from *.iam files.
Something like this: when i click with right button in one selected part of assembly i can open the module only for this part and when i save it save the change for all modify part of *.

I would like to make an External Rule that would make an iLogic Internal Rule (with the same code every time). I guess what I really need is a way to drive an Ilogic rule into every part that does not have the rule in the part already.
I know what you’re thinking and just using the External Rule doesn’t work for what I want to do. I need it to be an iLogic Internal Rule.

I have made a configurator, that defines my part. Now i would like to add some intelligence for the Save process...
When i activate my rule it should.:
1. Go to a Excel spreadsheet and find next Empty cell in a specific collum
2. Place Title from inventor in that empty cell
3. Return the value from the cell next to this cell
3. Use this value as the new filename for my part.
Example: here i would like to get the parts tile put into B3 and A3 (103) returned to Inventor as filename to my part
--------------------
A B C
1 101 Title1
2 102 Title2
3 103
If possible, i would like to be able to adjust this alittle as i go forward in my work,

I have a couple of dozen features in my part, of which only one will be active at any time. The feature tree may be subject to additions, so I am looking for an ilogic rule that will first suppress all of the features in the part, and then switch on the specific feature I require (using a parameter). Any code to suppress ALL features?

I am using Ilogic to control visibility of a subassembly in a subassembly of my main assembly. It works correctly inside of the subassembly just not from the Main Assembly. If I use IsActive instead it works but I can't use this because the dimensions in the associated drawings lose there attachment points using IsActive. I can change my assembly by removing the middle sub assembly but will require writing a lot more code.

I have created a very simple yet effective tool for starting a new manifold assembly using iLogic. The rules and windows essentially fill out the size of the block, material type, description, project and part number.
Below I have a hydraulic manifold I have designed and from that I created the final .ipt of the internals. The way I did this (which may not be the best method) was to create a second .ipt matching the LxWxH of the original manifold, next I inserted and aligned both into another .iam file, lastly I derived a third .ipt from a subtraction resulting in the third image below. This is a bit time consuming to create, but has been very useful in error checking our designs. I would like to see if iLogic is capable of allowing me to automate this so we can easily create these internal flowpath .ipt's for every manifold we design.
