Is it in ilogic possible to check which pos rep that is active using a rule? Is it possible to activate a view rep using a rule?I'd like to do something like: If this "pos rep name" is active, then activate this "view rep name".

I am trying to piece together some code for an ilogic rule. This rule should look for a drawing view that is a flat pattern, if it finds one it should change the object layer to our "CNC" layer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently have an iLogic rule in my drawing template that base on user input brings up the Drawing View dialog box (as though you click on base view). I want to know if there is some coding I can do to control or handle what happens if the user clicks the cancel command inside this dialog box. Possibly show a message box. Or even run another rule after the cancel button has been clicked?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a way to run a rule which is saved in my top-level assembly using iLogic rule which is saved in a part file in the parent assembly.
I have even tried using an external rule in a txt file, but that gives the error "Component: This function can only be used in an assembly." - which makes no sense to me. I hope I am just missing something simple. I cant believe with all its other strengths, that iLogic would be so limited in that regard. Why is there not simply a snippet under the 'Run Other' that allows you to specify an assembly file and the rule name? (like there is for running a rule in a component from the assembly)
I want to simply set a custom iproperty as the Description in each part file within my assembly. I can do this easily at part level with ilogic but I want to be able to run the rule from the assembly level and all the parts run the rule. I am struggling to find a way to do this.
I think this may be the best method I have found but I think it must be far easier?

I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.
The more info tab says:
System.ArgumentException: iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

I'm trying to setup a custom form that matches my company's title block information. My desired end result is to eliminate the need to open the iproperties (some users find it confusing/inconvient). I have a seperate tab for the check/status information listed in the "status" tab of the iproperties. In the iproperties, these are activated and deactivated with a check box. When I add these properties to my form, I have the ability to open a calendar but I have no way of knowing if the date is activate or not.
I saw in another post, that a ticket was opened to added the material selection to the options in forms. Could this functionality be added as well?
I have created a new form using three fields, to show quantities, job no etc. and was wondering what code I need to use to be able to push enter after filling out a field and then jumping to the next field?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to create a rule that will warn the user when the plate thickness they are using is not standard. I have already created a multivalue parameter for plate thickness, which lists all standard steel plate thickness's and also allows for custom values.
I was hoping I could create a rule that would prompt a dialogue box warning when the user creates a custom value for plate thickness.
I know this can be done, but like I said, Im bloody useless with iLogic and find it hard to come across relevent examples and/or tutorials online.
I have an ilogic external rule which contains functions that I use from rules in my local assembly document. I'm trying to access the value of a parameter in the document from the external rule's function. Attached is a simple version of what I'm trying to do. If I manually run the external rule, it seems to work just fine, but when I call on the function from a seperate rule, its unable to get the parameter value. I get an error stating, "'Parameter' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level."
'this is the external rule. if I run this manually, it works
Public Class test_functionsSub Mainmyresult = ""thisisatest(myresult)MsgBox(myresult)End SubFunction thisisatest(ByRef resultcreated As String)resultcreated = "it worked - " & Parameter("ParameterInDocument")End FunctionEnd Class

I have an iPart which includes iLogic Rule. When I change iPart by table, iLogic Rules are not triggered.
In iLogic Utilities, there is a button "Rules Triggered by Events", If I use "Any Model Parameter Change", the update need long time, looks like Inventor is "No Response".

Is it possible to run an external rule in assembly occurrences?
You have RunRule in Component, But it does not seem to work with external rules
I referenced to occurrences and opened it using ThisApplication.Documents.Open(filepath, False)
Then i tried calling the same external rule. I thought it would run the external rule in the opened file,
but I ended up with a infinite loop on the main assembly.
Is there a way to run your rule in every occurrence with external?

I am very green to ilogic and VB. Running Inventor 2013.
I have a three part question. First, I have an iLogic routine in an assembly that opens all the parts within the assembly, runs a particular rule, and then closes that part. Is there anyway I can get this to run in the background. I don't want my users to see all of my part files opening and closing.
Here is my
'assign path values in iproperties to be equaliProperties.Value("RD FLANGE:1","Custom", "FilePATH") = iProperties.Value("Custom", "FilePATH")Dim FilePATH As String = "FilePATH"customPropertySet = ThisDoc.Document.PropertySets.Item _("Inventor User Defined Properties")Try prop= customPropertySet.Item(FilePATH)Catch customPropertySet.Add("", FilePATH)End TryIf
[code].....
My second question is how do I add a routine that as the part files are opened checks to see if "MyRule" is there. If "MyRule" is not there add "MyRule" else if "MyRule" exist move on to the next part.
My third and final question is there anyway for my code to distinguish between standard parts and sheet metal parts. Basically, if the opened part is not a sheet metal part then I do not want "MyRule" to be inserted and I do not want "MyRule" to be run. I want it to move on to the next part within the assembly.
