AutoCAD Inventor :: Form Button To Place ILogic Component
Jan 22, 2013
I wish to create a form that with multiple buttons. Each button will place another component (platform, stairs, ladder, railing).
I wish to place them using 'Place iLogic Component"
I know you can call this command by:
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("iLogic.PlaceComponent").Execute
But is it possible to automatically browse to and open a file this way using a path "C:CPSVaultPlatformComponentsStairs.iam" within this command?

Show on Place Component
If I set this to true, then when I "place iLogic component", I don't get the form displayed or the parameter table or the model preview.
If set True, displays the form when placing this model as a component in an assembly. This setting affects Place Component and Place iLogic Component. If the template file has a form, this setting also affects Create In-Place Component.

I created a simple Part with some parameters to drive dimensions. Saved the part. I created an Assembly. Saved the assembly. Clicked Place iLogic Component. The Place iLogic Component window appeared Selected the Part. I can see the preview window (Part-01) & the parameter window... Used default values. Hit OK NO PART INSERTED!

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 have created a standard part that has imates and all features are adaptive. When I create an assembly and then try to place the component I would like for the part to come in adaptive automatically.
For example I have a nightstand I am modeling. The top and endpanels are in the assembly constrained to each other. I have a standard top back rail that is set up in a library and is used in all cases. The rail width and thickness is always the same but the length is different. I have two imates set up on the rail so when it is brought in, it will snap into place with one end of the rail mated to one endpanel and the other end mated to the opposite endpanel. But since the part is not adaptive on input it dosen't work right. One mate works fine but the other doesn't snap into place. Once I make the rail adaptive then it works fine but I have to insert it into the drawing first then make it adaptive then move the imates into place. Is there a way to make it adaptive automatically when it is initially placed in the assembly.

Is there a way that will allow me to place a component into an assembly where it automatically creates a constrain between the components xz plane and the assembly xz plane? I tried the Ground and root component, but it does too much, I will need to constrain the component differently on the other component planes.

Create code that will allow me to place a part in an assembly at all matching iMate locations. I would also like to call this function from iLogic using RunMacro if possible.

I love the new triad function when placing a new part in Inventor 2014: I am now searching to trigger the same function for a part that already has been placed.
Something like:
1) select component
2) press a button (triggers the macro I now want to write)
3) the triad pops up.
I searched true the Inventor Help & what's new in the API. But didn't find any reference to that command. So I am afraid that it is not yet in the API. Could I maybe emulate it by replacing a component with itself using the place component command + emulating a mouseclick at the same origin as the original piece?
So a piece of code like:
1) get filelocation of selected part
2) get the origin point (x,y,z) of the part
3) get the translation between the origin of the assembly and the part
4) delete the selected part
5) place the part using the place component command (so the triad has been triggered)
6) fill in the filelocation, origin & translation
7) give control back to the user so he can move the part using the triad.

I am using Windows 7 64bit and Inventor 2012 SP1 (Build 190). When placing a new content center item an error message of "Unable to place component" is reported. Content center was working previously.
I determined the problem resulted in using a custom Date format in the Windows Region and Language setting. To duplicate go to Control Panel -> Region and Language ->Formats Tab -> Additional settings button -> Date tab and change the Short date format to a custom format (I was using ddd M/dd).
To fix simply reset to a standard date format.
Note that this can be done whilst Inventor is running and I have have submitted a bug report. None of the standard date formats resulted in errors. I have tested "ddd-dd/M", "ddd/MMM/yyyy", "yyyy/MM/dddd", and "yyyy-MM-ddd" and all resulted in an error. "yyyy-MM-dd" did not result in any error.

What I am trying to do is insert a part into an assembly file using iLogic. I basically want to mimic Inventor’s “Place” command using ilogic, maybe something like this:
oPath = ThisDoc.Path & ""
oFile = "File.ipt"
Component.Place(oPath & oFile, False)

Our Council has been updating our school system. We have the design suite and have chosen Inventor 2013, AutoCAD 2013, Inventor Fusion.
The issue is that in Inventor the EDIT FORM tool isn't on the Ribbon. It also isn't on the add in's for Inventor 2013 either.
We also downloaded the suite direct from AutoDESK.

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?

I´m having a bit of an issue with a form.
I have a global form which is exactly made for a specific assembly for configuration of this very assembly. To make things easier for the user I call another external rule which only opens exactly this assembly.
Now when the user opens the form the assembly is not open and obviously can´t reference the used parameters.
Even after loading the assembly the parameters are not available, which results in something like this:
So this is a really simple question, is there a way to update a form so that it rereads the parameters from the assembly?
What I tried is using iLogicForm.CloseGlobal("Name of form") to no availability and then open it again with iLogicForm.ShowGlobal("Name of form").
But I couldn´t find any further info on the iLogicForm Commands.

I have a iLogic Form which includes several Tabs. Can I control which Tab is active if I select a radio but which controls which feature is active in the part? I have attached a picture of the Form.

How can I include component suppression in the idw views? I suppress a component in the ipt or asm, but it doesn't
disappear from the drawing views. Is there a way to carry this over to the drawing?

I'm trying to play around with iLogic for creating dynamically dimensioned subassemblies. I've created my dimensioning rules that link to the parts I wish to change dimensions on.
Parameter("Bridge Spine:1", "BridgeLength")=Length
And I've tested this in the SubAssembly I've created and all appears fine. However when I go to insert the sub assembly into the main assembly I get the following error:
Parameter: The component named "Bridge Spine:1" was not found.
I've noticed that the new sub assembly has created new parts with the extension -01 on the end of each part (As expected) It appears that this link is being lost in the rule for the new sub assembly. i.e the rule is looking for Bridge Spine:1 instead of Bridge Spine-01:1

Can you have dropdowns in an ilogic FORM? For example I want to setup 5 choices for a custom iproperty. Then when I run the form I can pick from those 5 choices only? Please click "Accept as Solution" if this response answers your question.
Down with IDW/DWG files..... Long live 3D PMI..

i want to use pictures with my forms and was wondering if i can use them like the way i showed in attached image.
the CaseA image is the one i can currently use and CaseB is the way i want to use. My reason to do this is, i have alot of parameters to change and having both the picture and a menu below/above takes alot of space which also seems redundant.

Is there anyway to reference a form and its specific items in iLogic. For example, say I wanted to change a label on the form when the code ran. How would I do something like this?
Form1.Label1.Value = "SomeString" ?

I have a form used to select from pre-defined settings (case statements in the rule) and custom entry.
I have a drop down that provides the selections from the pre-defined stuff or custom with fields that show the results.
If custom is selected the user is prompted to enter data in popup dialog boxes which all works fine but I would rather select custom and enter the data in the fields on the form than in the popup. can that be done?
See the png files
I want to just enter the data in without the popup box

I have one particular file which will not allow me to add an iLogic form. When I select "Add Form" it does nothing. This only happens in this one file. I can open other files in the same session and they work fine. I can add iLogic rules to this file but I can't create forms.

I have a code which I want to rotate a part. I have a text parameter 6 and 7. If one of the values is active I want to give the component a certain rotation.
Under the 'Hoekkoppeling' parameter is the angle constraint.
Below the
If Parameter ("KlemHoekstuk-01: 1", "KoppelingType") = 7
Then Hoekkoppeling = 60 deg
ElseIf Parameter ("KlemHoekstuk-01: 1", "KoppelingType") = 6
Then Angle = -60 deg
End If
I now get always an error on the second and fourth line.
I feel that the specify for the value is incorrectly.
