I have a requirement to insert PDF files via an OLE object link into a large number of .iam and .ipt files. Is there iLogic code out there that will perform this feat? The plan would be to gather all file names and associated pdfs in an excel spreadsheet and run the iLogic against that.

I am trying to use an iLogic Excel link to define the hub and bushing dimensions for a wing pulley part file. I get an error: GoExcel: Could not match the column title: "Size". I've attached the part file and Excel file. The iLogic rule in the part file is called Hub_Bushing.

I pinched the code from the example hand rail iLogic part that comes with inventor and tweaked it to suit. After inputting the code shown in the image, when I click OK I get a 'fatal error' of some sort.
Is it possible to use iLogic to insert a row into excel?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI’m a design engineer for a company that make press tooling to manufacture parts. I am trying to automate the design process using I logic. I know the basics but the part I’m having trouble with is importing a surface.
Our process is to 3D scan the part which then gets a surface from this and extrude up to the actual surface.
Is there any way in ilogic to automate this process. Ideally I would like it to come up with a browse button you select the surface file .stp or .iges. Once the surface is in the part file it extrudes up to the surface from a plane.
I want Inventor to add sketch symbols automaticly on cordinates according to a Custom Text Paramater
for example I have created Custom Multi Value Text User parameter Approved & Not Approved or Plate Work Notes & SteelWork Notes wich each represent diffrent sketch symbols that needs to be placed out base on the value selected. Each sheet consist of diffrent sketch symbols
insert a sketch symbol to a specific coordinate on a dwg border (top middle of dwg)
Workflow needed is as follows
Copy Sketched symbol folder from Standard.dwg from (C:UsersPublicDocumentsAutodeskInventor 2012Templates.Paste into open dwg document and yes to all to overide symbolsPlace a named sketched symbol from drawing resources folder ie (PRELIMINARY) to top center of all sheets within documentreturn to first sheet when complete My new dwg has symbols in correct place so any new dwgs this is ok but we need to add it to hundreds of dwgs when opened or revised,so i want to tie this to external rule and trigger on save event.
In my title block I have a material section that pulls to iProperties from the model
One is material, which displays the material used in the model
and the other is manually input by me in the comments section of the model, I typically only use this field for sheet metal description, example, .125 Sheet Metal, this saves me from a drawing view to show thickness only.
In my sheet metal template I have checked the little box for the thickness model parameter so it will show up as a custom property - model.
So i can display the thickness parameter anytime the sheet metal base view is placed.
My issue is I want the thickness property to have the following with it "Sheet Metal"
But I only want this to appear if the base view is in fact sheet metal, all other parts and assemblies, this field would be blank,
So this is what I want when a sheet metal part is placed:
This is what I want to display when a part is placed:
This is what I get when anything is placed:
Sheet Metal shows up because:
I am looking for a Rule that will only apply <Thickness> Sheet Metal to my title block only if the base view is in fact a sheet metal part. Is this possible??

Any way to use iLogic to create custom iProperties from the cells in an Excel spreadsheet (both text and numbers) for a .dwg template. The only thing even close has been a user who already knew how to do it and was having a different problem. I am using Inventor 2012 and Excel 2003 and have very little experience with VB. I currently have a family of assemblies, consisting of two parts linked to an Excel spreadsheet to control the various parameters for each variation of the assembly.
I need creating an iLogic rule that will:
Go to a specific tab (I have four different tabs/worksheets) in an Excel spreadsheet.
Make a specfic row of that worksheet the current row based on the part number used to generate the models of the assembly shown in a .dwg.
Use the contents of a cell in that row (text or numeric or a combination of both) to generate a custom iProperty for the .dwg template.
Use the custom iProperties to fill in the title block of the template.
I would like to know, whether is there is any ilogic option by which the Custom content center is triggered automatically to insert component in an assembly.

I made a drawing where there is is a complex part dimensioned. For this part there is also a .dxf drawing of the unfold contour.
I want to add a link to this .dxf so the person on the CNC can quickly open it. But, when I display as icon I still get a the full drawing.

I have a user who has AutoCAD LT 2013 SP2 installed. When he tries to insert a link (Insert > Data > Link) the application bugs/stops responding. He then has to stop the application via the Task Manager.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I get at the hatch objects within a drawing using iLogic?
I would like to be able to customize hatch color based on various part properties.
ie:
Purchased part = Green Hatch
Refrence = Light Grey
and much more
This would be possible if I can get to the hatch object and determin what part it is associated with.
I only see iLogic code that allows you to change visibility of all hatching, and set general hatch angle.
Since I can select a hatch in the drawing and change its color, I assume there is an un-published API object that relates to hatches
I am trying to insert a table using a data link. I set up the Link through the DataLink manager and then insert the table using a range. I click OK to insert the table and after a few seconds of thinking ACAD sits there with no table on the screen. When I look in XREFs, the DL is there but says it is unrefrenced. Tried multiple ways of entering or setting up information to no avail.

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhenever I am moving an inverter or module shape around, I always have to either shift those wires or extend them to some extent.
I was wondering, like Google SketchUp, can AutoCAD have a follow extension mechanism for a fix point with an fix object?
I would love so that only one wires extends. So I am just looking at a linear expansion for now. I am not looking for complex 3D expansion... I just want 90° lines to extend:

View 5 Replies View RelatedRunning a Query that inserts a block with attributes filled with text derived from a file that has a large set of polylines with object data (text)? Is it easier just to insert this object data as text with a query. Or can I place this object data (text) into a block that inserts?
Example:
- You have land locations defined within the object data assigned to a set of closed polylines. (Large subdivision)
- Field name for object data on each closed polyline is "LAND_LOC"
- Now, I'd like to label these locations with a block that inserts to a central point within the closed polyline.
- Block Attributes with "get" the information from the polyline / object data and place this value in the block attribute.
- I have 1 drawing file that has closed polylines with object data assigned to them.
- What is the best method for this? I'd like a block with attributes to insert and pull the object data / field and place it into the block with a defined attribute, that is central to each of the closed polylines. (LAND_LOC)
I am having trouble with my PScs6 wherein the layered doc I am working on looses it's link to the source file within the smart object "container" layers refering to it. I opened up a saved version from timemachine and the same thing happened. At the same time ALL the masks all went nuts and presented with lined artifacts instead of white (in the case of adjustment clipped layers to the smart object. The original file was not moved to a new location or deleted. I closed PS6 and reopened to find the problem did not go away. It started when I used the rotate tool to do some fine work on the smart object's mask with brush and wand. I was using the fill command to fill the wanded areas in the mask. I believe it was a problem with the rotate tool because it became more and more jerky and resizing over 100% caused the image within the smart object to dissappear on all layers using that source image in the doc. PS6 has been buggy and crashing more frequently recently in general, especially after using plugins that have worked flawlessly for years. I run a macbook pro with snow leopard. 10.6.8
this one show the smart object now emptied of it's source image after using the rotate (R) tool for a while and zooming in over 100%..this one shows the mask artifacts (on the topmost "wash" layer mask) that also developed after using the rotate (R) tool for a while and zooming in over 100%.
I've been using photoshop for a while with no problems, but last night I tried and failed to cut a picture of me (snowboarding down a small slope) from photo 1, and paste this into another photo 2 (a picture of a pro jumping through the air).
After removing the professional snowboarder from the photo, using the clone tool, I pasted my picture onto the photo. Thereby making myself look like a pro. (long story about me and a competetive friend).
Alas I was massive compared to photo 2. I was bigger than the ski-slope itself. I tried to shrink myself, but my picture changed resolution, my photo wasn't cut properly, and so many other problems.
I looked through the helpfiles and found stuff about layers, but nothing about cropping, pasting, resizing.
When setting a URL link to selected text in a text object, the link style (blue w/ underline) is not preserved after save, close & reopening. The url is still set if you select the same text.The biggest issue is when publishing to PDF, those links do not get published as it did in previous versions of CorelDRAW. This breaks thousands of our documents when publishing to pdf since we have upgraded from X3 to X6. This is a show stopper for us using X6.
