I have the same ilogic part placed in the same assembly, and i am trying to drive two different configurations of the same part and when i apply the configuration it changes both of the parts but to only one of the configurations.
Is there a way to drive them seperately even though they are the same part.
I`m looking for the iLogic code that can change one parameter (user defined) for each (ipt) part in assembly (iam)
The one below doesn`t work.
Sub Main Dim oApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication Dim oAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = oApp.ActiveDocument For Each oSubDoc as Inventor.Document In oAssy.AllReferencedDocuments On Error Resume Next Parameter(oSubDoc, "FH") = 15.26 Next End Sub
How to run iLogic Rule which I created for .ipt file in assembly?
As I have a myPart.ipt file with iLogic Rules which could create part1.ipt, part2.ipt, ..... (hundreds of them).
Now, I want creats iLogic Rule in myAssembly.iam to run the iLogic Rules in myPart.ipt in order I could create correct .ipt file to be used in myAssembly.iam.
Before using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?
For example:
I generated "Part1.ipt" and "Part2.ipt",...... (I have hundred of member)
In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.
Which is the iLogic Code I should to use?

I have made an iLogic external module who copy the iProperties from an Excel files, when i open the module from the *.ipt file il works perfectly. But i need this function from *.iam files.
Something like this: when i click with right button in one selected part of assembly i can open the module only for this part and when i save it save the change for all modify part of *.
I'm trying to write a script which would process all the ipt files within assembly and launch certain functions according to a ipt file type.
I've already made such script for dimensioning parts which work for standart parts but not for metal sheets.
Here it is:
Sub Main Dim oApp As Inventor.Application = ThisApplication Dim oAssy As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = oApp.ActiveDocument For Each oSubDoc as Inventor.Document In oAssy.AllReferencedDocuments If oSubDoc.DocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then Dim oPartPropset As Inventor.PropertySet = oSubDoc.PropertySets("Design Tracking Properties") Dim oPartParam As Inventor.PropertySet = oSubDoc.PropertySets("Inventor User Defined Properties") Dim oParameter As Parameter For Each oParameter In oSubDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters oParameter.ExposedAsProperty = True Next oParameter If oSubDoc.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then Dim d1 = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength, 1) Dim s1 = Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth, 1) Dim g1 = Round(Parameter("Grubość"),1) FindOrCreateProperty("Długość [mm]", d1, oSubDoc, True) FindOrCreateProperty("Szerokość [mm]", s1, oSubDoc, True) FindOrCreateProperty("Grubość [mm]", g1, oSubDoc,
[code]....
this code distinguishes parts from sheet metal, and launches appropriate functions to get their dimmensions. It just doesnt work for metal sheets somehow. Seems like SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength is performed from within the assembly, not part as it should be. I must have the addressing wrong. I've tried many things and different functions but nothing works for sheet metal parts.
This code might also be useful for different purposes. I'm also trying to lunch some external scripts for each part within an assembly, but there is no direct function for that (there is one only for internal scripts , based within the file).
I'm wondering if I can move a part in iLogic or rule via X,Y,Z coords say from it's current location to 0,0,0?
I don't want to use constraints because it simply can't jump from one constraint to the next without blowing up.
Is there a standard command or command sequence that allows for the changing of a parameter, say length, of a component from within an assembly. I'm looking to compile a code that allows for a template to be created, then that template will do changes based on text box input and then save out the modified parts with new part numbers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've done an Addin which contains a "Place iLogic Component" function. This funcion work properly and the iLogic form is opened at place component time. Now, i would like to be able to open the form after the insertion, for edition purpose. So, i'd like to open the iLogic form of an assembly component (occurence) with the context menu for example.
So, my question is : Is there a way to check if a part or an assembly contain an iLogic form and to open it through Inventor 2012 API ?
I have a rule in the top assembly to update & want to run this as a final 'clean up' after various rules have run in sub assembly parts.
I have a rule within a part at the end of the line. I want this rule to goto the top assembly & run the 'Update' rule.
I have received a great solution from Bobvdd allowing ilogic control of the view rep in a part file (not an assembly file). The code below works brilliantly when the part file is the active document. However when the part is placed in an assembly and the ilogic is run with the assembly active, the code produces no result. How to modify the top 6 lines of code?

oApp = ThisApplication

When we send 3D models to customers, we always derive the assembly to make it 1 solid part, so the customer cannot disassemble it to copy our product, and then save it as a step file.
I want to Derive an assembly to a part and then save it as a *.step file with an ilogic rule.
I worked out the last part, but i cannot find the Derive assembly code anywhere.
Im not an experienced programmer, i can only Copy paste, so if the solution is already posted in a simular rule, i will not be able to pick what i need from the code
can't get the COG of a single part inside an assembly using the default feature of iLogic:
centerPt=iProperties.CenterOfGravityOfComponent("part1:1")
Wikihelp states that it's possible to get the COG of a part within an assembly.It doesn't seem to work anytime getting an error on some missing included references .do I need a Sub-Rule inside the single part?
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?

We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.
I want to be able to control the location/position of a component in an assembly. This is easy enough through the iProperties/Occurrence tab and then adjust the location of the X,Y, and Z offsets. Is this possible using iLogic? I have been unable to find a function to access via iLogic. Ultimately I am trying to translate a component about an axis not a pattern.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to simplify this assembly into one seamless part for FEM calculation:The assembly consists out of parts that, in reality, will be welded together. Due to their form, there is no way to place them exactly onto each other, therefore there are slight gaps between the parts:
Now when I try to merge the assembly into one part via "simplify" --> "create simplified part" and choose "single solid body with seams between planar faces merged", Inventor does not fill these gaps (even though it displays only one part in the bottom right corner of my window). Unfortunately, the remaining gaps brings "contact" problems in the FEM simulation.
how to close the gaps and really merge the assembly into one part?

Part created in assembly does not update to part file.
I have a part that has protrusions. When i mate that part up to another part that second part needs to have cutouts/holes to receive those protrusions.
i mainly use it in sheetmetal parts. and use the rectangular protrusions on de contour to mate up with corresponding cutouts in the other sheet. this works with positioning and also makes for a nice weld spot/area.
But also for making holes to accommodate a mold pin used in custom punch dies. I want the intervening part to receive a corresponding (propperly tolleranced) hole automatically. Much like a bolted connection does.
same for parts like circlips. i want them to automatically generate the seat in the part it's mated to. Rather than using the axle generator.
Ofcourse one can place the parts and do an in assembly interpart projection and go from there, but i want the part to generate the (predifined) modification to the other part. It would save time and also reduces problems as the parts are moved about or even removed.
I have an assembly with 10 parts in it. We use many assembly features at the assembly level (Revolve cut, Extrusion cut..etc). How to find the mass difference of each part by comparing at its parts level and its assembly level.

If I want to find part which is inside another part or assembly, which means no matter how I turn camera, I always cannot see that part.
Does inventor has this function? Or is it possible to develope by .NET API?
I can't seem to find how to use the Inventor 2012 API to project an entire sketch profile from one .ipt to another .ipt file from within an .iam file.

I wish to set the properties of an assembly using i Logic. I have the values of the properties in a part that is in the assembly. I wish to pass those values from the part to the assemblies i properties. I tried using the following code, but it gives an error saying it can not find the document "MyAssy.iam"
iProperties.Value("MyAssy.iam", ThisDoc.Path, "Part Number")=AssyNo
I'm not even sure that this is the way to do, but it's the only way I could think of to try.
I got here on in my templates, two types of weight - net and gross. I've changed the main property MASS of each PART to be the GROSS weight, so when i have one assembly i always get the total gross weight.
And when i wanna get the NET, I open the BOM, show the proper column with this net weight and then export do XLS to sum all of then..
Now the doubt is, to get the things easier, is there a way to put some code in the assemblies, that could sum all the properties "X" from each part and sub assembly to get the total net weight ?
I am very new to this whole concept of having ilogic based rules to drive your part design. I have even gotten as far as creating a ipart and having ilogic rules be able to suppress, unsuppress, change values and dimensions using ilogic rules. I now want to be able to use ilogic rules to drive some of the various(yet similiar) assemblies that I create all the time.
For instance, If I have just a flat plate as the base component with a shaft welded to it that varies in length for my assemblies. Since the shaft varies in length, I went ahead and created iparts for all the lengths of the shafts. I can manually change which shaft I want represented in the assembly, but I would like to to know how do I get Ilogic to place the different shafts based on user parameters???
I've looked into component place iparts, but can't seem to get the code to work. The list of iparts tree within the model doesn't pop up in the model tab in the ilogic rule, only the base component.
