AutoCAD Inventor :: Form Picture - Parameter Driven Picture On A Form
Apr 10, 2013
I am working on a form (global) and have added a picture with a parameter and a picture folder underneath. So that the picture displayed on my form will change depending on the parameter value.Here comes the trick. Only text parameters can be used!On the form editor only 'Text parameter' can be selected to drive the picture selection. I actually need an integer, so that i can use my User/Excel parameters from Inventor.
I can work this around with an iLogic rule to equal the value of my string Picture Parameter with the relevant integer Inventor parameter, but the rules need to be run before the pic and the form updates (by pressing the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the form and then the assy updates too. So this takes a couple of minutes)... whereas if it was an option on the form editor then the update would be instant without waiting for everything to update...
Is there a particular reason why the Picture Parameter only can be a text parameter?

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.

I have the following problem:
I have created a form in which I need to see the volume value. For that I created a User Parameter that is set to be equal with part's volume:
Volume=iProperties.Volume
What I don't like is that the precision for the parameter is too long and I can't change it. I changed the precision in Document Settings and also for the parameter itself in the Parameters window, but these changed don't affect what is the form.

I would like to use a multi-list parameter in a form, that isn't a problem. However I want the selection to be copied to a custom parameter when the form closes. Is there anyway to fire a rule when the form closes or to add a multi-select list to a parameter, in a form?

Any way to modify a user form parameter's read only status using a rule?
I have a parameter that I want people to be able to edit when another parameter is set to true and to be locked if it's set to false. The only thing that comes to mind is have a rule that will just switch the value back automatically if the user changes it but it would be good if i could control the read only status.

One of the features I was really looking forward to in CS6 was creating fillable forms with ONE application. I created a form following the step by step instructions in classroom in a book for CS6. When I opened the exported form in Reader X, I get a "This operation is not permitted" error. I opened the completed "end" document in the lesson to make sure I didn't commit an error, and I got the same message when exporting. I have looked for places in menus to modify security restrictions and I can't find any. I installed the updates and that didn't solve the issue.
I saw one solution posted which is to open the document in Acrobat, then do a "save as" option. Is there anything we can do that doesn't involve buying additional software? If this is not the case, then Adobe seriously needs to change its training and advertising about this functionality.

In this lesson we will consolidate code to prevent code reuse. Follow along as we demonstrate by doing the following and more:
Apply a color to a form command button, loop form controls, and save and get the color from registry

I am in the process of compiling a parameter driven sprocket. I just download the model from the CBLISS website these items are spreadsheet driven and they conflict with the MRP system interface we are using here.
All my formulas seem to be going nicely until I have to enter the square factor into the formula. [i.e. (d0)^2 or powr ((d0):2)]
It just will not accept syntax function. I have an idea the problem my lay in the unit types in the equation or the previous equations.
The formula I am trying to achieve is
Hr = sqrt(Fr^2-(1.4ul*DR-0.5ul*PITCH)^2)
Refer to JPG for clearer picture as to where I am coming unstuck.

We are having issues with text height and variations depending on how the text is added.
I am currently adding etching to sheet metal parts by using the user parameters (which are driven by 3rd party source, excel file) and using a cut extrusion -1mm.
We have developed a marco which detects the shape of each letter and adds etching to our sheet metal program manually. We do this to get rid of the double lines when you cut text into a part. Our process is design in Inventor, unfold then convert to DXF 2004, where we import to our SM programming package (Radan).
I have noticed that when using 10mm simplex if the text is driven by parameters and 10 point text is selected the charecter height is 9.9928mm, however if the text is added manually it measures 10mm exactly. Why is this happening? It is probably of no concern to most, but we would need to add extra charecters to our macro to account for the descrepency, and in turn would take the macro longer to run.
When the text is added by user parameters, you can briefly see the 10mm text height flash to 9.99mm when finishing the edit sketch. Changing this to 10mm again has no effect.
what is causing this, or have any alternative ways of adding 10mm simplex single line etching to a dxf from an Inventor 2012 SM part?

I have a flange that I use iLogic and the parameters list to update the different styles. My problem is that my flange won't update until after I hit save and update. My other square flange is not this way. As soon as I change the parameter in my square flange it immediately updates. Is there anyway I can get my round flange to update immediately like my square flange? I attached pictures below.

I'm trying to enter a model parameter value with a VBA form, but I don't know which type of control to use neither how to write the code. I want to enter a number or a value with any control and use this value for modify a model parameter.
I have a simple code with a line:
oModelParams.Item("z").Value = 25
I want to make something like:
assuming that "TextBox1.Value" is a numeric value obtained with a control at the form
oModelParams.Item("z").Value = "TextBox1.Value"

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 am creating a large form. The goal of the form means I am unable to break it down into smaller forms as there is a great deal of interaction between all levels of the form.
One of my first fields is a multi-value field (Foundation Type) with four options (None, Slab, Piers, Wall). Three of those options have a group of fields lower in the form with between 1 and 5 fields.
(Multi:Value Option: Example of fields specific to that option)
Slab: Thickness, Edge Depth, Edge Width
Piers: Diameter, Depth.Offset
Wall: Footing (T/F), Depth, Width,
I currently disable all of the groups of fields that are not part of the active option in the primary multi-value field throught the (Enabling Paramter Name) option with a rule. This keeps the user from entering values that affect a Foundation Type that is not currently active, but the disabled fields take up a lot of room on my form and may confuse end user less familiar with the system,
The group function in the form has a minimize toggle next to the group name, but the Form Editor does not show any options to manipulate this toggle. Is there a way to automatically toggle this minimize/maximize function through a rule or other means)? Or are there any other means of hiding form fields that are not currently enabled?

Why can't you show the file name on a form (without using iLogic to link it to a property)?

I have a form for adjusting center distances between several posts, up to a total of 20 posts. The number of posts is adjustable depending on how many I need. If there is 10 active posts there will be 10 suppressed post. When there are 10 suppressed post, I don`t need them in the form. Is it possible to hide the center distances I don`t need?

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 made a model that can be adjusted by using a ilogic form.
This alters the parameters in my "master" part & then changes my part in my assembly.
Problem: the form is located in my "master" part is there a way to access the form from my assembly?

I'm trying to setup a custom form that matches my company's title block information. My desired end result is to eliminate the need to open the iproperties (some users find it confusing/inconvient). I have a seperate tab for the check/status information listed in the "status" tab of the iproperties. In the iproperties, these are activated and deactivated with a check box. When I add these properties to my form, I have the ability to open a calendar but I have no way of knowing if the date is activate or not.
I saw in another post, that a ticket was opened to added the material selection to the options in forms. Could this functionality be added as well?

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.

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 VBA form coded that we use to generate part numbers and descriptions that then populate the iProperties. We often use the part sizes in the description. I would like to be able to put a button on the form that allows users to use the "Measure Distance" tool so that they can measure the part while they are creating the description.
Any code that I could use to activate the "measure" tool while a vba form is active?

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
