AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Reposition Revision Table On Sheet Size Change
Sep 24, 2012
a customer has a title block with a revision table ( standard vault revision table) add on top of it.
If you change the sheet size the revision table remains his position.
If found the way to reposition the table with a ilogic rule.:
'point afstand in cm
PointX=(ActiveSheet.Width/10)-13
PointY=5.5
'punt vanaf rechtonder gemeten in cm
[Code]....
This is working perfectly. But now the challange how to trigger this rule to run if you change the sheet size?
if tried:
trigger=Activesheet.size
or
to create a userparameter and added this line in my rule : Size=ActiveSheet.size, normaly is you change parameters it triggers the rule to rule. but both way didn't work.
Can event triggers from the API be used? Do i need the "Onchange" event? Any example for a ilogic rule?

Just created a 2nd drawing sheet in my IDW, and when i place a revision table it is missing most of the data that is shown on sheet 1. All i get are the description column entries, nothing else.

how to access the drawing sheet revisions using Ilogic.My company is wanting to start making the default initial rev on a drawing a "-" and inventor does not like to keep this when brought in as a template.
So like normal I am trying to trick it into having the dash until a rev is actually added.

I have a rule in the .idw drawing template, that displays a dialog box asking for the size (A, B, C, D...). Once the size is selected, it displays the appropriate border and title block. There is a small & large title block, so an A or B size gets the small, and a C or larger gets the large. This works great.
My question is, how can I have the appropriately sized Revision Table (small or large), automatically ready for use, based on the drawing size? The (2) Revision Tables are defined in the Styles library.

I have a question about the revision tag. It's seam that we can not change the size of the balloon or Triangle. But we can use a user symbol. But we can make this choice only after placing the tag. see picture.
My question is : It is possible to make this choice in the stylelibrary ?

You know the square, traingle, circle, and the hexagon shapes that are used on the revision tags? How do I change the size of the geometry to be smaller? If I just change the text size, all that changes is the text, the geometry remains the same. I'm wanting to make them ultra small so that when there are lots of revisions, it doesn't clutter up the drawing too much.

I made a form that allows the user to enter in a custom sheet size. Using the API I am changing the Drawing Sheet Size Enumerator to the Custom Sheet size which allows the user to enter in custom values. That part is all working fine. My problem is that when a custom size is used in my title block it says that the size is "Custom Size (mm)". I know that the API uses cm for the sheet size units so I have the code convert the values into cm.
In the sheet settings window built into inventor it has the option for Custom Size (inches) and Custom Size (mm). How do I change whether it is inches or mm?

I use a simple If/ElseIf code to suppress / uns uppress & reposition holes on a plate to ensure the desired number of fixing hole pairs.
The hole positions will change and suppress/unsuppress depending on the value of the Tie Rod Pitch (vertical) and the O/A length of this plate (and pressure inside the radiator but this is sorted in Excel).
For example PitchMax = 500mm, BP_2ndS= 1600mm (plate length)
If (3 * TieRodPitch_MAX_2ndS ) < BP_2ndS < (4 * TieRodPitch_MAX_2ndS) Then
...
For some reason some times the parameters don’t update in the hole and pattern features after running the rule thus they are in the wrong position or not suppressed/unsuppressed. When I rearrange the If/ElseIf codes it may work. All I change is just replace ElseIfs with If-End Ifs or the other way around...
Which does not make any sense to me, since I change nothing in the parameters or conditions. Is this code structured poorly?
p.s. this is an engine radiator and the number of tie rod pairs depend on the height of the block, pressure inside, width, etc.
The part fie has the code.

I've seen snipppets of code to get the Sheet name but is there a way to set it via code? I'm thinking it might be useful to set the sheet names to the chosen sheet format (as opposed to just 'Sheet').
I'm sprucing up my drawing template...
Rule #1 is for selecting sheet format (which title block/sheet size / orientation)
Rule #2 is for setting iproperty values to populate the titleblock with info. (if required)
Rule #1 was based on code from S.Bixler & inventortrenches
Rule#2 was based on more code taken from here.

I'm simply trying to delete the revision table if it exists on a drawing. I did find where you can't do anything with Rev Tags with the API, but what about the Actual Revision Table?
Trying to get this to work;
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")>0Dim oRevTable as RevisionTableoRevTable = ActiveSheet.Sheet.RevisionTable.Item(1) oRevTable = nullRevisionTable

I have never attempted any i-logic before and this may be running before I can walk, but I was wondering if this premise even sounded do-able. I would like to create a rule to set the last row of my revision table to all static values, and then add a row.

I am having an issue with changing sheet sizes using VBA. Due to the constraints under which my borders and title blocks were created, inventor forces me to delete the current border before changing the sheet size. I have 5 different borders and 2 title blocks.
-Borders
"A0 Border (13x8 Zone)"
"A1 Border (8x6 Zone)"
"A2 Border (6x4 Zone)"
"A3 Border (4x3 Zone)"
"A4 Border (No Zones)"
-Title Blocks
Title Block 1 - All sizes except for A4
Title Block 2 - A4 Only
I'm having trouble changing the sheet size. This is the extent of the code that I know actually works:
Option ExplicitPrivate oDoc As DrawingDocumentPrivate oSheet As SheetPrivate oBorderDef As BorderDefinitionPrivate oBorder As BorderSet oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentSet oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheetSet oBorderDef = oDoc.BorderDefinitions.Item("A0 Border (13x8 Zone)")Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() cmbPageSize.AddItem ("A0") cmbPageSize.AddItem ("A1")

I have a situation where I just created brand new drawing templates and they have the revision block inthem already. The revision block that comes with Inventor. The vault is driving the revision in the titleblock and when the revision is placed in the revision block it too is linked to the vault. When the drawing is checked into the vault and the lifecycle is changed to "Released" and then back to "WIP" the revision updates. Both in the titleblock (which I want) and in the revision block which I don't want. Not only is it change the revision block, but the last revision posted as per the image below.
how do I change the property in the settings of the title block to not get it's revision from the vault or allow it to be manually driven?

I have created the code to print out the pages from a drawing using Ilogic and the Print Manager.However, I cannot get the ilogic code via the Print Manager to change either the orientation OR the paper size to suit the print out.
For example, If I have an A3 drawing i can create the Ilogic code for the Print Manager to select the page size of A3 (kPaperSizeA3) within the code, but when I run the code the printer will ONLY select the Default of A4 paper.
The A3 paper is in a different tray but I cannot get the Print Manager to Select the A3 Paper.The printer we are having this issue with is a HP LaserJet 5200...We are also having the same problem of Printing out 1:1 Scale drawing to an A0 Plotter. I cannot get the Print Manager to change the Output Page Size either.
This is for a HP DesignJet 430...I have just tried to use the iLogic Snippet for Printing, and if you change the page size to suit A3 (kPaperSizeA3), the printer asks for a paper size of 312mm x 210mm.... This was with the HP LaserJet 5200.
how to get the Printer output paper size changed through the Print Manager.

Is there any way you can use the "Application option" "user name" in a revision table column?
The "APP'D" by "Author" is not very useful considering most changes are done by various people.
If this is not an option could it possibly be added?

Is there a way to pin or standardize where a revision table is located in a drawing?
I have a title-block set up and would like a revision table either embedded or populated upon command, just above my title-block. It would also need to extend upward with additional revisions...

I am trying to create some new templates for 2013 and I'm trying to figure a way to get the model revision number to populate into the drawing's iproperty revision number so that they will match upon save. I'm trying to do this by creating an ilogic rule but I don't see a system property in the idw that will allow me to access the 3D model iprops. I am going to Event Trigger the rule to run Before Save. Is this possible?
On the drawing border I have created a formatted text box that is built as:
Type: Properties - Model
Property: Revision Number
It simply pulls the data from the models revision number and populates the text box. I need this same thing to happen but rather than populate into a text box I need it to populate into the drawings revision number iprop.
