AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Environment Variable To Run External ILogic Rule
Sep 17, 2012
I tried to read an environment with iLogic and to combine it with an external rule name and to pass the whole path over to iLogicVB.RunExternalRule.
StrPath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ILOGIC_DIR")ilogic_rule = "IPT__01_New_Document_EXT.iLogicVb"rule = StrPath & ilogic_rule'MessageBox.Show(rule, "iLogic Rule to execute")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule(rule)
The message box shows the correct path, but I allways receive a error massage:
'GetEnvironmentVariable' is not a member of 'Inventor.Environment'

I want to simply set a custom iproperty as the Description in each part file within my assembly. I can do this easily at part level with ilogic but I want to be able to run the rule from the assembly level and all the parts run the rule. I am struggling to find a way to do this.
I think this may be the best method I have found but I think it must be far easier?

I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.
The more info tab says:
System.ArgumentException: iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

We are using Inventor 2011.
I have found a rouind about way to display document thumbnails in VBA in 64 bit windows 7 inventor.
The only piece of the puzzle I am missing is for a way to push a document object or a document file name into an iLogic Rule from VBA.
Below is a 64 bit thumbnail solution for VBA sans the input.
Essentially I am launching an iLogic Rule from VBA that pushes an inventor document object into a VB.NET dll.
The dll converts the iPictureDisp into a VB.NET image object, reduces the size then converts it into a byte array.
The byte array is passed back to VBA through the same iLogic Rule.
Once the byte array is received it is converted back into an iPictureDisp object.
' ----------------------------------------
' --- VBA Project Form Code ---
' ----------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
End Sub
' -------------------------------------------
' --- VBA Project Module Code ---
' -------------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Public Sub SetPic(ByRef bBuffer() As Byte)
Set UserForm1.Pic.Picture = PictureFromRes(bBuffer)
End Sub
[Code]....

why this will not run as an external rule? It runs fine as an internal one.The error I get is object referance not set to an instance of an object?
'Updates rule when done
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
'Creates input list dialog box & allows the user to choose the state
Product_Code=InputListBox("Enter Product Code", MultiValue.List("Product_Code"), Product_Code, Title :="Product Code", ListName :="Available Codes")
'Writes values to iProperty
iProperties.Value("Project", "Cost Center")=Product_Code

I've made an External rule in Ilogic that must read a parameter value (Thickness) to set a value in a property (StockNumber).
The value is not written to the property by Using 'Select Case', see code. There is no error or something like that. So what am I doing wrong?
Tested in an internal rule, where Select Case = <Thickness> instead of Parameter ("Thickness") and that works fine.....
Select Case Parameter("Thickness")Case 2iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686001"Case 4iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686002"Case 3iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")="686003"End SelectiLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

My company has recently switched from the H drive to the G drive. This has resulted in a lot of old files still referring to the H drive where the External Ilogic rules used to be. I'm wondering if there's any automatic way to change that? Uploading a pic showing the event triggers as they are now.

I need a way to run a rule which is saved in my top-level assembly using iLogic rule which is saved in a part file in the parent assembly.
I have even tried using an external rule in a txt file, but that gives the error "Component: This function can only be used in an assembly." - which makes no sense to me. I hope I am just missing something simple. I cant believe with all its other strengths, that iLogic would be so limited in that regard. Why is there not simply a snippet under the 'Run Other' that allows you to specify an assembly file and the rule name? (like there is for running a rule in a component from the assembly)

Win7Pro, SP1, x64
Inventor 2011, SP1, no Vault available
I am trying to use a Windows environment variable to point to my root directory where the projects are stored. When I type %MYINVPROJECTROOT%/newproject/... into the path of a new project, it seems Inventor is unable to resolve the path.
We use SVN to collaborate, hence, instead of forcing everybody to the same folder structure, we keep everything in SVN and people just need to set an env var to point to the respective folders where they checked out their working copy. This is especially useful when working with branches, etc. All other engineering tools seem fine with this (MATLAB, Labview, Maple, ...) only Inventor seems to fall behind.

I have an ilogic external rule which contains functions that I use from rules in my local assembly document. I'm trying to access the value of a parameter in the document from the external rule's function. Attached is a simple version of what I'm trying to do. If I manually run the external rule, it seems to work just fine, but when I call on the function from a seperate rule, its unable to get the parameter value. I get an error stating, "'Parameter' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level."
'this is the external rule. if I run this manually, it works
Public Class test_functionsSub Mainmyresult = ""thisisatest(myresult)MsgBox(myresult)End SubFunction thisisatest(ByRef resultcreated As String)resultcreated = "it worked - " & Parameter("ParameterInDocument")End FunctionEnd Class
'this is my rule in the assembly document trying to use the external rule's function
AddVbFile "z_testrule.iLogicVb"Dim external_rule As New test_functionsmyresult = ""external_rule.thisisatest(myresult)MsgBox(myresult)

Is it possible to run an external rule in assembly occurrences?
You have RunRule in Component, But it does not seem to work with external rules
I referenced to occurrences and opened it using ThisApplication.Documents.Open(filepath, False)
Then i tried calling the same external rule. I thought it would run the external rule in the opened file,
but I ended up with a infinite loop on the main assembly.
Is there a way to run your rule in every occurrence with external?

I want to create a rule that will warn the user when the plate thickness they are using is not standard. I have already created a multivalue parameter for plate thickness, which lists all standard steel plate thickness's and also allows for custom values.
I was hoping I could create a rule that would prompt a dialogue box warning when the user creates a custom value for plate thickness.
I know this can be done, but like I said, Im bloody useless with iLogic and find it hard to come across relevent examples and/or tutorials online.

i have an iLogic rule in serveral files. Now this rule has to be deleted. This should be done with VBA. I can not find any function to delete a rule using VBA.
I found a function iLogicAuto.RunRuleDirect(rule), but not iLogicAuto.DeleteRule(rule) ...
I can not find any documentation for iLogic/VBA.

I have an iPart which includes iLogic Rule. When I change iPart by table, iLogic Rules are not triggered.
In iLogic Utilities, there is a button "Rules Triggered by Events", If I use "Any Model Parameter Change", the update need long time, looks like Inventor is "No Response". I like the way "Material Change", but I need "part Number" change to trigger the rules. How can I do it? I tried other events as After Open, Before Save, etc, they are does not work.

I've caught glimpses of how to do this (For instance, this plugin (Inventor LinkParameters) [URL]...... when trying to actually find information on any documentation of how to get from point A to point B. I can't seem to find anything about ilogic automation / rule creation / ilogic in general, in the object browser at all.
I know code like this exists
Option ExplicitSub RuniLogicRule()Dim iLogicAuto As ObjectSet iLogicAuto = GetiLogicAddin(ThisApplication)If (iLogicAuto Is Nothing) Then Exit SubDim doc As DocumentSet doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim ruleName As StringruleName = "Rule0"Dim rule As ObjectSet rule = iLogicAuto.GetRule(doc, "Rule0")If (rule Is Nothing) Then Call MsgBox("No rule named " & ruleName & " was found in the [code].......
(and even fixed the error it gave me due to the original code leaving something out) , but any info on the GetRule method is.

Is there any way to create a rule to create a substitute on my weldment files?
what I need is something like:
If this document file type is weldment then create shrinkwrap substitute, go to the file (substitute) read the custom iproperty "area" and write to this document custom iproperty "area for sand-blasting" activate LOD Master then delete substitute LOD.
The propose is for purchase department to know the area of the assembly (only the area of visible surfaces).
