I have a part file XXXXYYYY.ipt and I would like an ilogic code that searches if my file name contains "XXXXYYYY" to replace the X's and Y's with 1244SIMS and moves that file to a specified folder. Is there any code out there that will allow me to do this?
View 5 RepliesI am having a bit of trouble finding the correct code for some automated ilogic in inventor 2011.
I am trying to achieve an automated rename and save process for an assembly file as well as the variable parts in the file.an example would be a steel column...
Open ilogic steel column, run rules to change column length and section size...then save a copy to workspace, but also to a specific folder in the workspace..also rename the column file and save.
i have this for file saving -
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Test=InputBox("Add File name", "Please Add your file name", "Prefix number - File - .iam")
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()&Test, True)
Which works fine to save the new assembly, but i need the same for the variable column within the assembly, and also to save to a specific folder not just the workspace top level.
How could I rename a hole assembly and all parts (pre- or suffix)?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to create an iLogic rule that automatically renames the browser nodes based on part number. I know that this is a function in Inventor itself. The problem is that there is no built-in functionality to automatically change the default browser name to something besides part number. I've done a lot of digging and I came across the following code from an old thread discussing Inventor 2011. I am interested in 2013. It is also worth noting that when I run this code, my Inventor crashes.

way to rename a new dimension parameter in sketch with a dialog box directly not having to go to Functions or diemnsion properties.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to have iLogic code that looks at a part with only one extrusion, such as bar stock or angle stock and automatically export the length to iProperties. As per the request of the other engineers however, this code cannot be based on a common renamed parameter. Also, since no one draws things the same exact way, it can't be based off of a common dimension parameter either. At least not in terms of d0,d1..etc.
Is there such thing as a code similar to variable=standard.extrusionextentslength that I can imbed within an if then that would pull this information from the model?
I'm running Invenor 2013 and I'm trying to figure out a way to rename my components from an iLogic assembly when placed in a new assembly.
Right now when I start a new assembly, then place an iLogic component it names everything "Part-01," Part1-01" and so on for all of the variable components.
What I'd like to do is write a rule that when placing my iLogic component it will name it based on the filename of the new assembly that I've created. "Part-New Assmebly," "Part1-New Assembly" and so on.
see attached link for the explaination of what I am looking for.

is it possible to rename the browser node on part level with an iLogic rule? I know that in the assembly environment is an Inventor OOTB functionality to rename the nodes to the filename, Part number or the default value.

i placed an ilogic component (wich i use as a template to later change dimentions) into an assembly file after changing dimentions i placed the same "template" ilogic component into the assembly but when i want to change something on the second component it also changes the first one and that only happens with only one feature of the component the other features work fine.

I need to use/write a iLogic code. I have a assy, in this assy i have parameter Height and Width. And it´s no problem to controlls this two rules/value.
But I have a problem with the rule when my height will control the number of parts
If my height is 500-1000, one part.
If my height is 1000-1500, two parts.
If my height is 1500-2000, three parts.
Is it best to use suppress or use a pattern in this case?
I would like to count all my parts in the main assembly and assign that amount to each part.
Example: Main assembly has: 10 Parts A and 5 Parts B. I would like to run a rule that "sends" that "10" to Part A.ipt and the "5" to Part B.ipt
I would like to assign it to iProperties.Status.Status. I start to understand iLogic more and more but it is nice to get a little boost in the right direction.

View 6 Replies View RelatedBelow are 2 rules that run in succession to create and save a parts list from a base view in a drawing.
I am now trying to set the parts list style to a custom style, ideally while creating the list.
Also, I have to manually go into the list to turn off visibility of certain items (based on material), does I can do this with Ilogic? I ask because these steps precede a rule that automates placing base views of all parts in the parts list. If I could get the style and visibility right, I could automate the entire process.
Looking for changing such a style with ilogic?

I made a flanged connection using I logic. Very simple Tube + Flange + Gasket + Blind flange + Bolting.Then I tried to write some ilogic rule to have Blind flange on / off when needed, hence the Gasket & Bolting also need to be off. Like in these images:
That works fine visually, but I also want the BOM to be set accordingly. For the Blind flange & Gasket my BOM is OK. But for my bolting the BOM is not OK. I tried to set the BOM structure the same way as the visibility but that failed. It only subtracted 1 bolt from my list (see code)
If Blindflange_status = 0 Then 'Bolting offComponent.InventorComponent("Bolting:1").BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kReferenceBOMStructure 'Sets BOM Structure to Reference (Remove from BOM)Component.Visible("Bolting:1") = FalseElse 'Bolting onComponent.InventorComponent("Bolting:1").BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kDefaultBOMStructure 'Sets BOM Structure to Reference (Remove from BOM)Component.Visible("Bolting:1") = TrueEnd If
Is there a way to set all parts within a pattern BOM structure? I made my bolting by adding 1 bolt, 1 washer & 1 nut and then pattern them using feature pattern select.

I am creating a drawing controlled by ilogic. The assembly can vary in size considerably so I have set the IDW to change between sheet size A3 and A2 accordingly using ilogic. However, when the sheet size is changed, the parts list stays in a static position.
Currently, the parts list is situated in the top right corner up against the title block and the border. So when changing from Size A3 to Size A2, the parts list ends up in the middle of the page. Is there anyway i can control the position of the parts list so it changes with the sheet size change?
I know I could simply move the partslist to the bottom left corner, which is a work around. However, I'd like to be able to keep the drawings in line with the company standard.
I have a iLogic assembly with some parts and sub assembly. I need to do a copy of this " Generator " to apply the result later in other assemblies. (something like a member of a ipart or i assembly).
Is there any way to do the copy the assembly to a new folder without the suppressed parts and subassemblies (wich are suppressed in the initial main assembly by iLogic rules)?
I tried to use "Pack and go" and "iLogic design copy", but they always bring the suppressed parts and assembly's, to the new folder and which i don't need to apply in the other assemblies.
I am Trying to add the category Field to the parts list, if a sting exists in the field. I want to run this as a rule at the Drawing Level. I can check if there is a sting in the Category Field But not sure how to add this in the Parts List.
