AutoCAD Inventor :: Rename And Save Using ILogic?
Sep 13, 2011
I 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 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.
PrivateSubMain
UpdateAssyBrowser(ThisDoc.Document)
End Sub

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?

I 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.

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.

Is there a way in an inventor drawing rule to do a "save as" which saves the drawing as an Inventor dwg file rather than an AutoCAD dwg file?
The below saves as AutoCAD which is ok but I need the outputted drawing to be linked to the model. I don't want the code to save the entire assembly as this is done further down the line. I also don't want to save the current inventor dwg drawing from which the rule is run as this is just a template drawing.
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.Path&"2D_DRAWINGS"&iProperties.Value("Custom", "Drawing No.")&" (Rev "&Parameter("BEAUFORT_ARRANGEMENT_3.iam.DRAWING_REVISION_NO")&")"&".DWG", True)

I'm currently using this rule for easy PDF making
SaveLoc = "C:Temp"FileName = ThisDoc.FileName(False)Revnr = " rev_" & iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")PDFnaam = SaveLoc & FileName & RevnrThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(PDFnaam & (".pdf") , True)MessageBox.Show("PDF is aangemaakt in C:Temp", "Document creation",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information)
The problem with this is that i want to save without lineweight? is there anyway to do this with this code?

I want a part automatically to be "saved as" in my workspace.
there is the command
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(NewFileNameAndExtension , True)
in the browser of iLogic but I don't know how to use it.
I tried ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs("partname.iam", True)
but that's couases a error.

I have a template part that I would like to save automatically once the parameters dialog box is closed. I would also like the Save As filename to automatically be filled in with a iProperty named "Part Name". I already have the "Part Name" description grabbing information from parameters. Is this possible? And is the best way to trigger the event after an "iProperty change" or "Any Model Parameter Change"?

I'm trying find some code that will allow me to save a PDF in 2 different locations.
I want to save a copy on my C: drive - this part has been done, but I'd like the code expanded to save a copy on the F: drive (under a similar path to that on the C: drive.
For example, for drawing XXX-XXX.dwg (C:Vault WorkspaceCADSalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawings), I would like a PDF created in C:Vault WorkspaceCADSalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawingsPDF (this part has been done) and i would also like a copy saved in F:SalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawingsPDF.
I do not know which will be easier; to create 2 PDFs, or create 1 and copy it to F:

I currently have ilogic code that automatically saves a template Inventor dawing as a job drawing. However the problem I am having is when it does this save it takes forever as it seems to be also saving the linked model also. Is there a way to save this Inventor dwg without saving the linked model? The reason why I do not want this model save is because after the drawing is outputted the user is given options to write part numbers and dxf files if required which requires a model save anyway.
Sample of code used:-
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAsInventorDWG(ThisDoc.Path & "2D_DRAWINGS (Inventor dwg)" & iProperties.Value("Custom", "Drawing No.") & ".DWG", True)

I have the following
strFile = ThisDoc.FileName(False) & "-Rev " & iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(strFile & (".dwg"), True)ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(strFile & (".pdf"), True)
And it works like a charm for pdf, but it does not export to .dwg?
And also, is it possible to decide where in the name the "-Rev " &iPro....should appear?
Ex. if the filename should be : "12345 - Rev 02 - Section cut"

I seem to have my task accomplished, but Inventor crahes on me after it is done.
Here is how my iLogic works.
' Deleting the suppressed parts from the assembly
Dim compDef as AssemblyComponentDefinition
compDef = ThisDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim compOcc as ComponentDefinition
For Each compOcc in compDef
[Code] ........
Now as soon as the last line is executed, Inventor crashes.
But when I go to the save file part (C:MyPath), both the parts and assembly files are saved and if I open it, they work just fine.
I just can't get inventor to stop crashing.

I am making some iLogic automated parts which I want to save when I place them in an assembly.
Now I have the folder the file needs to be saved in allready specified in the simple code I wrote but I want to be able to browse the folders to select a specific one.
I run the code by activating it in a Form that pops up when you place the part in an assembly.
The simple save as code I wrote is as following:
Workspace = ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()If System.IO.File.Exists(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt") = True Theni = MessageBox.Show("The partnumber you chose is allready in use, choose an other number.", "Save Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)Else If System.IO.File.Exists(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt") = False ThenThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt", False)End If
How I can browse the folders to select the folder to save the part in when placing the part?

I´m trying to create an external iLogic rule that let´s the user specify a path and saves an assembly and all it´s components into one directory. Alternatively it could be the main workspace path which doesn´t have to be specified by the user so it can be handled internally.
The background is a design template that resides on a network storage which can be configured through an iLogic Form and when the user is done configuring the assembly to it´s liking it should be saved to it´s workspace.
I was looking through the snippets but couldn´t find anything related to "save all". I have the feeling that I have to cycle through all component occurences and save them one by one.
Getting a Save As dialog box seems to be possible as I could see on Curtis Waguespack´s blog but the commands he is using are nowhere documented. For example for calling the dialog box he is using
InventorVb.Application.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)

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. This way the original template can stay unmodified. I have found the GoExcel.save command but is there some sort of GoExcel.saveas(filename, filepath) command?

I am not good with iLogic but I have this rule that gives me length and width of a sheetmetal part in mm and with , (comma). The rule works but the file will always accept saving regardless if there has been changes or not. I want the rule to only accept save IF there has been changes on SM_Length (=<FLAT PATTERN LENGTH> cm) and SM_Width (=<FLAT PATTERN WIDTH> cm) or Thickness.
sLength = iProperties.Value("Custom", "SM_Length")
sWidth = iProperties.Value("Custom", "SM_Width")
sThickness = iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness")

I have an assembly that I am working on that will be used as a configurator, driven by I-logic. Everything is work fine but there is one part off the assembly that will be custom to each new assembly. Is there a way to use I logic to open the ipt file save it as copy with different name and replace the original in the assembly. I know this can be done manual through the productivity tab within the assembly environment, but I am trying to automate the process so the end user will just have to follow prompts that will be given by i-logic.

We have a word file that we use a lot for our drawings. There is an empty file that we open and then save the file into the same directory as the drawing.
I am trying to setup some code that will open the empty Word File, and then bring up the Word Save As dialog box with the correct directory and file name already completed. The correct directory and File name will be determined by the Drawing Code.
I have been able to open the Empty Word Document from iLogic with the following
'CRS Template Path & File NameoCRSTemplate = "\WWSERVERDisplaysA-Z Stand PartsCRS-Template.doc" 'Publish document. ThisDoc.Launch(oCRSTemplate)
I have been able to Open the Empty Word File from VBA and then bring up the Word Save As Dialog Box but I cannot work out how to define the initial directory or the initial file name from Inventor.
This is the VBA Code I have been using top open the Empty Word File and Show the Word Save As Dialog Box:
Public Sub OpenCRSDoc1()
'Don't Forget to Add the Word Object Library in the Tools - References
' Call SetCRSDetails
[Code].....
If you try to use the With Command for the FilePicker it will just open the Word Document and NOT the Save As Dialog Box!!!
Example of the With Tried
With FilePicker
.InitialDirectory = "Z:"
.DialogTitle = "Hello"
.Show
End With
How to open a Word Document from either iLogic or VBA (VBA Preferred) and then open the Word Save As Dilog Box and define the Initial Directory and Filename?

as a part of automating manufacturing drawings, am trying to include ilogic code in the drawing , that would accept values from the user and store it as "user parameters" and make corresponding changes in the inventor drawing file.So, to replicate my issue on a smaller scale, i had created 2 parts and created an assembly out of these 2 parts. I used the assembly in my drawing.
In the Drawing i created a user parameter .. say "external_param". I am opening the drawing and changing the value of the user parameter through the (Fx) parameter table.
doc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf external_param >= 50 And external_param <= 99 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 15 'change the length of the blockParameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 3 'change the number of holes in the blockElseIf external_param >= 100 And external_param <= 199 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 40Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 5ElseIf external_param >= 200 And external_param <= 299 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 80Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 6ElseIf external_param >= 300 And external_param <= 399 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 160Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 9End IfRuleParametersOutput()iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True'InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
As you can see, i have commented out InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() , im not quite sure what would accomplish the update and save of the assembly document in the background (without prompting for a save/update). I have also tried thisDoc.Save and thisdoc.update. Using these 2 commands along with the InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() or iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone caused Inventor to Crash.

I am trying to create a baseline assembly driven by ilogic. When the baseline gets changed, most of the parts get replaced, but a few change size. I would like to re-name the top level assembly, as well as the parts and sub assemblies that change. We use a Vault sequential numbering scheme. How do I extract the next number from the sequence from Vault in iLogic?

I want to save my PDFs as All Colors As Black, but setting the option to 0 or 1 doesn't work, it keeps saving the PDFs in color. Here's the snippet of
If oPDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then
oOptions.Value("All_Color_As_Black") = True
oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = False
oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
'oOptions.Value("Custom_Begin_Sheet") = 2
'oOptions.Value("Custom_End_Sheet") = 4
End If
What is wrong with the option in the second line (shown in red)? I've tried a few other variations of All_Color_As_Black, but I'm having no joy. All the other examples I've looked at either has that option set to False (0) or that line is commented out .

I have an ilogic rule created to do a save as .dxf and .pdf from the .idw file. It will then open the .ipt file without any issues. The problem I am having is that I also want it to do a save as .stp of the model after it opens the model. I get the following error.
Error in rule: Save As DXF PDF and open, in document: Save As DXF PDF and open.iLogicVb
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))
Do I need to add something to the code?

Is it possible to automatically divert Inventor to save to a specific folder within the workspace???
If a certain iProperty is set to yes, we want the user to save that file into a particular folder, if they try and save it elsewhere a message is popped up telling them an error has been made please try and save in the correct folder.
Admittedly I am not the most competant iLogic programmer but this is what I have thus far
