AutoCAD Inventor :: Trigger Custom Add-Ins Button Through ILogic
Feb 14, 2012
I'm trying to find a way to trigger an "Add-Ins" button that we have customized, and have it pop up on the closing of a form. If you know a way to program how to close a form through iLogic, or find a way to see if it's still open
I'm not sure that I actually want to access the button per say, but instead launch the dialog box. I'm not sure if this differs your answer in any way, but I searched the customization forum and found little information.

I'm trying to find a way to add a custom button to my ribbon that will launch a global rule or form using VB. I know of a way using VBA but I want to get away from VBA. I'd much rather create an add with VB and use that.
I'm currently running IV 2012.

I have a few assemblies setup that are controlled with a bunch of iLogic rules to modify all related parts when parameters are changed at the assembly level. I also have an opening message that pops up when the assembly model is opened (After Open Document trigger) to tell people how to use the parameters to make modifications.
Now, when this assembly model is placed into a drawing I am getting random pop ups of the opening message when placing views of additional models in the same drawing. If you open the drawing and try to place a base view of another model, Inventor stops to think for a minute or so before having the opening message of the iLogic controlled model pop up. The only event trigger for this message is "After Open Document" and the model is not being opened; why it is being triggered in the drawing and/or how to make it stop?

I am currently using a vb.net application to control inventor using the API code.The API code is used to delete/suppress unwanted occurances from parts and sub-assemblies, depending on what is selected in the external application. It then puts all the parts and sub-assemblies together into a final assembly.
Most of the parts contain iLogic rules, to control dimensions, and these have been set to trigger when the part file is opened.I have noticed that in my final assemblies some of the parts don't appear as they should, however if i close the final assembly and open the individual part it appears to be correct. If i then open the final assembly it looks fine.
I think this might be due to the iLogic rule being triggered when the part is opened.Is there any way to trigger the rules using the API code while the final assembly is open, instead of closing it down and opening all the component parts and sub-assemblies?Or should we set the rules to trigger on a parameter change?

I have a ipt which is controlled via an ilogic form,this form is opened by ilogic code, which in turn is triggered when the ipt is opened.
my problem is when the part is placed within an assembly the said form is triggered and the same happens when the assembly is reopened!.... I would prefer if the form opened only when the ipt is opened or edited....
Is there a snippet of code for this? Or is it even possible?

Is there any chance to define an event trigger which runs an iLogic rule when we check out an already open file? Problem is, that we need to synchronize iProperties on check out to clear "Approved by" when Vault State of Part is "under revision"
Vault Parameter "State" is mapped with iProperty "State".
So I want to run the following on check out:
Call ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("VaultPropertyWriteBack").Execute2(True)

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". I like the way "Material Change", but I need "part Number" change to trigger the rules. How can I do it? I tried other events as After Open, Before Save, etc, they are does not work.

Is there a way to set the event trigger of an ilogic file that's already inside of a document? I have code that can automatically create and populate new rules across my assembly parts, but it would be nice to set certain rules to fire every time that part gets saved.
If it can't be accomplished outright from the API, would it be possible to throw an OnEvent (save event in this case) inside of the iLogic code, to get the same results? URL...

I'm making some ilogic code for my new drawing templates and I'd like run part of the code only when the rule is trigger by the "after open document" trigger. Is there a way to check which trigger started an iLogic rule or would I be stuck making a second rule which is only triggered by the "after open document" trigger?

How to get the API to add an iLogic Event Trigger but I cannot find the exact code on how to do it.
Is there a Simple way to add an Ilogic Rule (External or Internal) to an event trigger with a VBA Macro or iLogic Rule?
I would like to automate adding an iLogic rule to an Event Trigger when we update our old drawings.
The details of the Rule I am trying to call is as follows:
Rule Name = Save On Close Commands
Event = Before Close
We currently have Inventor 2013 and 2014. If it is not possible in 2013, is it possible in 2014?
get the Rule Added to the Event Trigger

I'm trying to create a rule in ilogic that would search through all child components (looking for both .ipt and .iam file types) looking for an ilogic rule within each child component with a particular name, and running that rule if it is found.

When using Inventor with Vault, we have a problem when categorizing custom content center parts in Vault. In short, custom content center parts are incorrectly categorized as "Content Center" and automatically released - as there is no property that we can use to identify these files.
I need iLogic code to trigger when custom content center files are created/saved, wich adds the following custom iproperty "IsCustomContentCenter=True".

I need a way to programmatically click one of the interface buttons, if at all possible. I've tried calling the method directly linked to the button, but for some reason it doesn't work. I've tested several different scenarios, but it never works as expected. So, I figured the easiest, most effective way would be to activate a button as if a user had clicked it.
Is there any way to do this? My button is of course an IADMItem and I've tried stuff like SendNotify(), but it just doesn't work as expected.
Seems like there's something really simple that I've been overlooking.
I'm actually a server admin/web developer who inherited a complex C++ project, so I'm still in the middle of figuring half of this stuff out.

I wish to create a form that with multiple buttons. Each button will place another component (platform, stairs, ladder, railing).
I wish to place them using 'Place iLogic Component"
I know you can call this command by:
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("iLogic.PlaceComponent").Execute
But is it possible to automatically browse to and open a file this way using a path "C:CPSVaultPlatformComponentsStairs.iam" within this command?

How do I use a button being clicked to trigger a function within CompositionReady? My overall aim is an On/Off button, the 'OnOffStatus' of which can be used to determine other factors within the program.

I have created some custom button in VBA. I wish I can make those buttons toggling their image.
For example my custom button toggles Part/Component priority or Highligt on/off and I would like the button image will change showing the current state.
The background image color change will work too, or the some extra tiny mark on working sceen would be useful if it quite complicated to deal with ribbons.
Generally I need to see the current state at glance.

I have an animation with 5 different parts. I would like to trigger a random part when clicking on a button.
In order to do that I put labels on all parts (play1,...,play5). Then I put a code on the button on the click event :
var RandomNb=Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
if(RandomNb=1){sym.play("play1");}
It is just a simple test but it does not work : the animation play1 is always played no matter the value of RandomNb. I obviously make something wrong but I don't know what...

I am migrating our old Inventor data to our new system. I will do an ilogic script for that.
I know how to add custom iProperties with iLogic but how can I remove them? Is it possible with iLogic? I would like to clean out all old iProperties that we don't need anymore.

I have a form used to select from pre-defined settings (case statements in the rule) and custom entry.
I have a drop down that provides the selections from the pre-defined stuff or custom with fields that show the results.
If custom is selected the user is prompted to enter data in popup dialog boxes which all works fine but I would rather select custom and enter the data in the fields on the form than in the popup. can that be done?
See the png files
I want to just enter the data in without the popup box

Is it possible to automatically add custom iproperties using iLogic?
I have a rule thats adds text to a propery, but when I run the rule in an old partfile i get the error:

Is there something like:
"Create iProperties.Value("Custom", "DrawingNo")"?

I made a form that allows the user to enter in a custom sheet size. Using the API I am changing the Drawing Sheet Size Enumerator to the Custom Sheet size which allows the user to enter in custom values. That part is all working fine. My problem is that when a custom size is used in my title block it says that the size is "Custom Size (mm)". I know that the API uses cm for the sheet size units so I have the code convert the values into cm.
In the sheet settings window built into inventor it has the option for Custom Size (inches) and Custom Size (mm). How do I change whether it is inches or mm?
