AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Find Next Free Cell In Excel

May 27, 2013

What im trying to do is take the i properties from an inventor .dwg, and place them into a specific excel spreadsheet. I've managed to get so far, by using code that Curtis posted, which does the opposite of what im looking to do.The code Curtis posted takes info from excel and fills in iprops.

I can fill in specific cells, for instance columns A, B & C on Row 1 and place that info into a specific spreadsheet. But my code falls down when i run the code on another .dwg, It obviously overwrites what was previously in those cells.... I am looking for the code that looks to see if those cells are in use, and if so, go to the next available cell down.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Error Cannot Find Excel File After Saving File As Template

Dec 6, 2012

I'm linking an excel file to an .ipt file with iLogic code determining if the Material type is a certian value it will find the correct material thickness. These file work great when working on them thru Vault but when I "Save As Template" and create this file where our other template files are located (not Vault) this fuction does not work. I have realized that I had to place the a copy of the excel file in the same file folder as the template ipt, but even this does not fix the issue. 

I recieve this error:

Error in rule: Material, in document: Part6

'MWW Materials (Inventor).xlsx' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.

It seems completly countintutive that just saving the file as a template file would cause this not to work when all files that are required are located in the same file folder. Maybe I need a reference to the excel document within the iLogic code.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Cell Borders In Table Driven By Excel?

May 18, 2012

I am using a link to an .xls worksheet to populate a General Table in my .idw (Inventor 2012).  See attached.  The blank space underneath the first lines of information will always be blank, no matter how many rows we get.  Is there a way to have the drawing hide the blank/empty cells, make the borders invisible, etc? 

I have tried using the Insert Object for an Excel file instead of using the Table feature, but it does not appear to be an updatable link.  As in, if I change data in my .xls file, it won't update the inserted object to the same info.

How would I format my date in Excel so that it matches the wway Inventor stores it in iproperties>Project>Creation Date?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Excel And ILogic To Control IParts

Jan 9, 2012

I am currently using iparts/assemblies to model a resistor bank. We have dozens of different configurations and currently each time we need a new one its is re modeled from scratch.

I have created an assembly with all my relevant parts and controlled it through parameters to auto update when key values are changed.

What I would ideally like to do is to either link my two iparts to the iassembly though the excel sheets they use. Currently I have to added each variation to the parts first and then added the parameters to the assembly.

Would it be possible to have a master sheet were all control values are inputted and then each excel sheet for the different parts are linked to this?

As the excel sheets are saved in the temp file and are deleted once you have finished editing I have found it hard to do this so far. Can I change where they are saved? I tried save copy as which created the file but inventor did not link to it.

If this is not possible can I utilize iLogic to input the key values and then write them to a new row in the table. I have created a rule already to limit the number of elements and also the length of the by's (the space between each supporting rod). I have included a zip file with all my parts in it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic / Export Parameters To Excel?

May 21, 2013

I want to export reference parameters to an excel table using i-Logic

I found the function GoExcel.CellValues("filename.xls", "Sheet1", "A2", "A10") = MultiValue.List("d0")

It looks like the syntax calls for the file location and name if the xls file is not open and if open is not supposed to be required.

I have entered it both ways and with and with out the target file open and with the function GoExcel.Open("pathFilename.xls","sheet1") and continue to get the error:

we couldn't find C:AbellAbell VaultWorkSpaceDEVELOPMENTAC100-0100MRLTEST Table.xls. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?

Also, I was expecting that to fill in the sheet cell's would be MultiValue.List("d0","d1","d2")

but the system give me an error that says

Error on Line 3 : Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'List' accepts this number of arguments.

See below
 
GoExcel.Open("C:AbellAbell VaultWorkSpaceDEVELOPMENTAC100-0100MRLTEST Table.xls", "AC-100-0101003-TEST")GoExcel.CellValues("C:AbellAbell VaultWorkSpaceDEVELOPMENTAC100-0100MRLTEST Table.xls", "AC-100-0101003-TEST", "A2", "A10") = MultiValue.List("d194_A")GoExcel.Save

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get New Part Number From Excel With ILogic?

Jan 28, 2013

I have made a configurator, that defines my part. Now i would like to add some intelligence for the Save process...

When i activate my rule it should.:

1. Go to a Excel spreadsheet and find next Empty cell in a specific collum

2. Place Title from inventor in that empty cell

3. Return the value from the cell next to this cell

3. Use this value as the new filename for my part.

Example: here i would like to get the parts tile put into B3 and A3 (103) returned to Inventor as filename to my part

--------------------

A        B       C

1  101  Title1

2  102  Title2

I have an ilogic rule to open an existing excel file template and export the inventor parameters into it. I am trying to find a way to then save the excel file as a different filename.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Populate IProperties From Excel Using ILogic

Jun 27, 2011

I am trying to use an iLogic rule to populate iProperties (some generic, some custom) from a part number spreadsheet (containing columns such as PART NUMBER, DESCRIPTION, FINISH etc) and the rule keeps throwing up the following error 'Conversion from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid.'

Here’s part of the code (would be extended for the required custom iproperties but I’m assuming the same principle is ok)
 
StartRule:
'read excel file
GoExcel.Open("C:DESIGNDocumentsEXCEL FILESPART NUMBERS", "PARTS")
'index row 3 through 10000
For rowPN = 3 To 10000
'find first empty cell in PART NUMBER column (Column A)
 If (GoExcel.CellValue("A" & rowPN) = "") Then
[code]...
 
Changing the format of the excel data (number or text) has no effect. Is manipulation of the format required so that Inventor can read text and numbers to iProperties in this way?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic And Excel Spreadsheets - Linking Values

Mar 6, 2012

Ok what I'm tring to do is have a spreadsheet that has a list of prices in it that we could modify if needed for all these parts i'm making.  Best way is to have the spreadsheet obviously external of the file.Though now I do not know how to do this in iLogic.And example of what I'm trying to do is, with 3 parameters.

A, B, and P

Value "A" and Value "B", these are just read items which when combined will give Value "P" to be imported into the Part file.  So need A & B to be read and give the row number for P to be imported.

AutoCAD LT :: 2007 - Inserting Individual Excel Cell Value Into Drawing

was wondering if it's possible to bring in the value of a single Excel cell into a predefined window area in AutoCAD LT 2012? Some of our tool and die calculations are done in Excel, but we only want one cell (equation summary or description) brought into to AutoCAD 2007. If not AutoCAD LT 2007, then what about a more recent version of LT or even full blown AutoCAD?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Cell Formatting Height And Width From Excel?

I've created a data link, linked to my autocad drawing, checked the box to keep excel formatting and update.  Once i Import the table, the size of the table is NOTHING like what the size is in excel.

I have my page layout in excel to be 11 x 17 landscape.  I have my table at about 9 1/4 x 15 landscape. Once I import it into autocad, it is now about 6 3/8 x 20 1/4. I don't know what i'm doing wrong but i need it to transfer just like it is in excel as far as the size of it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Replace Or Refresh Embedded Excel Spreadsheet

Sep 20, 2013

For Creating my own templates i want to use iLogic and embedded Excel-Spreadsheets. The embedded Sheet has its own data, but i want to create a rule to refresh the data from an external Excelsheet.

For now i use the following rule:
 
For I = 65 To 90 '65=A 90=ZBuchstabe = Chr(I) GoExcel.CellValues("3rd Party:Embedding 1", "Platte", Buchstabe & "1", Buchstabe & "999") = GoExcel.CellValues("G:KonstruktionVorlagenMaterialgrunddaten.xlsx", "Platte", Buchstabe & "1", Buchstabe & "A999")Next I

it works well, but wont insert a new single-sheet or refresh formats, i have to add the same code for each sheet. And its REALLY slow.

Is there a possibility to refresh or replace the whole embedded file via a simple iLogic-rule?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule To Retrieve Part Number From Excel

I am template where the user can select different lengths of shells to achieve the desire overall length. I have been able to achieve this using iLogic rules and forms and making the shell length parameter multi value.

But now I need to show predetermined SAP part numbers for the shells in BOM or part list. I all ready have an excel sheet with shell sizes with corresponding part numbers on file. I also thought about incorporating our custom CC parts/shells that already have the SAP part numbers set up as a custom iProperty but might be to complicated for a newbie iLogic user.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Table From Data Link To Excel 2000 Cell Limit

May 5, 2011

I struggled for a while this morning with trying to data link to a large door schedule in Excel.  After several failures, I searched online for answers, and read in another forum that AutoCAD won't data link to more than 2000 cells. 

My door schedule is about 2050 cells now, and will be about 4000 when done.  I defined a set of about 1,000 cells in the Excel spreadsheet, and AutoCAD linked to it no problem.  So, I tend to believe the poster who stated the 2000 cell limit, but I can't find this.
