AutoCAD Inventor :: Enable / Disable Part Through ILogic
Feb 15, 2013
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`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

I am using iLogic to change assembly dimensions, suppress components and constrains. Is there any way to turn off screen updating while iLogic rules are running?

I am setting up template .ipts and .idw for my company, and i run Adept to save and store my files. Now i have a code to automatically make a .idw after i save an .ipt. but then after every save (adept saves the .ipt a lot of times) it will ask to make a drawing for the .ipt. well i was wondering if there is a code to put in a rule to disable the event triggers, and place that rule on the trigger after close document. so that the next time i open the document no event triggers will work.

I have a configurator assembly, which is controlled with an iLogic rule.
one of the parts is being changed in a lot of ways according to the different configurations. But in one of the Configurations the part must be suppressed, which works fine, however next time i run the rule i get an error message from all the other instances where it would change a parameter if the part was active.
I have tried adding if [the configuration that makes the part suppressed] = False then, in the beginning of the the code that fails, to simply prevent it from running, but it still makes an error.
and as you can see i have a lot of lines where the part normally would be configurated.
Error on Line 628 : Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
Error on Line 629 : Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
Error on Line 633 : Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
Error on Line 634 : Method arguments must be enclosed in parentheses.
[code]........
I don't understand how to enclose the argument in parentheses.

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.

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 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?

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.

The commented code does not work. I want to be able to open a part and change its size parameters before i open the assembly. this code will run as an external rule in a new empty file.
If i can do it without opening the part, that is even better. Test can I open a part, change a param, then close part.
Dim fname As String
fname ="C:Workspacemy_progchanF_BB_L.ipt"
Dim pDoc as PartDocument = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(fname,False)
pDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(fname)
These are just attempts to find a syntax that works. I need the method to change the parameter.
'param = pDoc.PartComponentDefinition.Parameter.Param("TKNS")
'pdoc.parameter.Param("TKNS") = 8
pdoc.Save
pdoc.Close

I'm trying to write a script which would process all the ipt files within assembly and launch certain functions according to a ipt file type.
I've already made such script for dimensioning parts which work for standart parts but not for metal sheets.
Here it is:
Sub Main Dim oApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication Dim oAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = oApp.ActiveDocument For Each oSubDoc as Inventor.Document In oAssy.AllReferencedDocuments If oSubDoc.DocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then Dim oPartPropset As Inventor.PropertySet = oSubDoc.PropertySets("Design Tracking Properties") Dim oPartParam As Inventor.PropertySet = oSubDoc.PropertySets("Inventor User Defined Properties") Dim oParameter As Parameter For Each oParameter In oSubDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters oParameter.ExposedAsProperty = True Next oParameter If oSubDoc.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then Dim d1 = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength, 1) Dim s1 = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth, 1) Dim g1 = Round(Parameter("Grubość"),1) FindOrCreateProperty("Długość [mm]", d1, oSubDoc, True) FindOrCreateProperty("Szerokość [mm]", s1, oSubDoc, True) FindOrCreateProperty("Grubość [mm]", g1, oSubDoc,
[code]....
this code distinguishes parts from sheet metal, and launches appropriate functions to get their dimmensions. It just doesnt work for metal sheets somehow. Seems like SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength is performed from within the assembly, not part as it should be. I must have the addressing wrong. I've tried many things and different functions but nothing works for sheet metal parts.
This code might also be useful for different purposes. I'm also trying to lunch some external scripts for each part within an assembly, but there is no direct function for that (there is one only for internal scripts , based within the file).

The company I'm working for is moving toward standardising all plant designs. iLogic appears to be the best way for rapidly producing assemblies that keep to a standard.
My new task is to automate the adding of walkways (including hand rails) to large plants. My idea is that walkways would be added to the plant similar to how frame generator works. The draftsman would draw a sketch on a plane around the structure. He would then run a form (That looks like the frame generator form).He would select the lines, a rule would capture the length of that line, pattern the standard walkway along the line until the line intersection, add a corner walkway, and then pattern the straight walkways again.
1) I do not know the ilogic code in order to 'get' a length from the lines that the user selects.
2) how does one constrain the center line of a part to a sketch line.
The second idea I had to create the walkway is (without a sketch), was to have a form that has a dropdown list of all the standard walkway pieces. The form would work almost like adding a bolted connection to an assembly (e.g. bolt, washer, nut, washer, nut). The draftsman would for instance, choose an straight 800mm part, a 1200mm part, a corner(left), a 1200mm part. Each walkway assembly piece, would then be added to the main assembly in the correct order and constrained. BTW, is there any book with all the inventor iLogic code, function and uses? I have found myself pouring though so many forums and picking up bits and pieces, but no actual instruction.
