I am completely new to ilogic but would like to make a rule in my idw file that change the hatch pattern in a section of a specific material.
Short Version:
I have an aluminum extrusion part. Material is set to Aluminum-6061. In any section view of this part I want the hatch to be ANSI 31 with a rotation of 45 degrees and a scale of .02 How do I do this?
Is it possible to assign hatch patterns for material styles? I need IV13 to draw Ansi32 for steel and Ansi31 for Aluminum automatically.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe use the snippets from iLogic on all of our parts to measure the length, width or height of our parts. However, we have noticed that when a 'Move Face' operation or a 'Replace Face' operation is used, the length measured does not seem to take into account the Move/Replace operations.
Are the Move/Replace operations different than other features like Extrude/Revolve? Is there something "ghost-like" about them??? The edges work fine on the drawing side, so I'm not sure what is different. Maybe it is the iLogic snippet?
In regards to it being the snippet, is there another code I can use that doesn't require specific feature or part information built in?

The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.

ShThk = InputListBox("Sheet Thickness", MultiValue.List("ShThk"), ShThk, Title := "Choose Thickness", ListName := "Thickness")
' material thickness from multi-value parameter called ShThk

Change pattern ilogic. How do you change the distance and quantity in an assembly with ilogic?
It is simple in a part but in an assembly the parameters and equations do show.
I have section views created from corridor model that also have had materials computed. The cut and fill areas are hatched solid and I want them set as another hatch style but after attempting to adjust the pattern it does not change. How does one change this and have it show? Civil 3d 2013 is currently being used but may have to back track to 2009.

Is it possible to get the wall fill pattern to show up in plan view but not in a specific section view? I tried the detail levels, Course, medium, fine, and of course the hatch pattern doesn't show up in course, but then the wall components don't show up either.
I am in a section view where i want to show a repeated cmu detail component up the wall as part of a detail, but then the hatch pattern is displayed behind it. I don't want to remove the hatch pattern entirely because I still want it to be displayed in the plan view.
Is there any way to change the default hatch patern from ANSI31?
the default hatch is WAY too small for sitework & tends to bog things down if you forget to set the hatch pattern first.
I tried HPNAME but that seems to be session dependent & doesn't work if set in the default template.
I'm about >< this far from just editing the ANSI31 definition - I know this is NOT a good idea but I hate having things freeze up whenever I forget to set the hatch pattern & hatch a 20' wide X 1000" long firelane with ANSI31 at scale 1.
I am running Civil 3D 2010. I have hatch a bunch of areas with the gravel pattern hatch. However, they are at different scales. When I try to change the scale I get a totally different hatch pattern. I have attached a screen shot showing my problem. Hatch picture.pdf
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several objects in a drawing. These objects are placed on a layer: "Layerhatch". These objects all have a hatch pattern: "solid". Now I want with vba that the pattern of this objects change from "solid"into "ANSI31". (For example with a button).
I have tried this with a adadselectionset but it doesn't work.

I need to change the hatch size (not the pattern scale or space, juste the hatch size).
Exemple : I have a circle, and a hatch inside the circle. The radius of the circle is 10, so the radius of the hatch is 10 too.
What i want to do is to make the hatch smaller (or bigger) like this : Circle radius : 10, Hatch Radius 5 (or 15).
My first idea was to recreate a new circle with radius 5, and a new hatch inside and then erase the second circle. It works, but not very effective in my case.
So, it's why i came here to ask if there is any solutions to make this faster, easier, without having to recrate another hatch, another circle...
I am having a very strange issue that appears in the Materials editor within Revit 2013 Update Release 3. If I change a surface or cut hatch pattern within the editor, and then attempt to close out of the editor, go to a different material, or apply the change, the hatch dialog pops right back up again, as if I never closed it. I have found two ways to get out of this obnoxious loop:
1. Use the 'esc' key to back out of the materials dialog (unfortunately no changes are saved).
2. Change the color of the hatch - this allows for the changes to be applied etc.
I've tried resetting the UI and reinstalling Revit to no avail.
For some reason I can't change the hatch pattern scale prior to hatching an object although after placing the hatch I can. The procedure I am using is as follows in LT2011. Select hatch, set the hatch style, over type the scale say to 100, click inside the area to hatch. Immediately the hatch pattern scale sets itself back to 1 I then have to type 100 back in and then the hatching will be set.

This specific steel type will also need to be called up in the parts list relevant to the individual part that it is attached to.
I know that a custom material can be added to the favourites section in the materials library,and this can be done if required.
Have i delved deep enough into the inventor materials library , do the basic steel and others materials ie plastics break down into specific types with their elastic properties,yield stresses etc etc in other words a more comprehensive materials library or is this something that must be created by custom material input.
I patterned features but the material did not come along for the ride. I know I can change the material manually after the fact but I am making a parametric design so I want this to happen automatically. How do I do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.

I've got a recurring problem with using hatch patterns on 2013. Importing a new hatch pattern more than often than not results in Inventor winding up the memory usage on the PC to bursting point as it runs through "Calculating containment of profile areas" that seems to be called when previewing a hatch pattern.
The problem seems to be with more complex patterns (I'm using a stone wall type hatch - mountainledge.PAT is a prime example) and I think the issue is related to the scaling factor used. IF you remember to wind the scale up BEFORE trying to preview the pattern you can get away with a few minutes of down time, but if you leave the scale at 1 its goodnight!
It would be nice if Inventor could warn you (a bit like it does if you foolishly opt for a huge part array) becasue not only do you lose your inventor files but also any other unsaved app data as in my case my Dell M6500 PC just dies as all available memeory just gets swallowed up.
Perhaps I should try multiplying the co-ords in the PAT file by 25.4 as it could be that we use the poorer cousin of the good old inch system. metric???
I am interested in Learning about Ilogic and the Itrigger. I worked at a company where they had a prompt that would change, size, material, hole quantities etc. I am trying to recreate that for a cabinet but cannot seem to find a good tutorial, I know I need to write some sort of rule to do this but cannot find out specifcally how to do so.

How to access the color for a particular hatch within a drawing using iLogic.
I would like to color the hatching for parts based on paramaters besides material.
ie.
Purchased parts = Green Hatch
Refrence = Grey Hatch
I would hope one could loop through the views looking for hatches, and once found, check the part they are associated with, then based on an "if then, change the hatch color and move on to the next pattern.
I have a problem were when , i take a design accelator shaft to .idw and section it the the hatch lines do not appear as they would if it was a shft drawn from scratch.
