AutoCAD Inventor :: Using ILogic To Rename Browser Nodes?
Jul 3, 2013
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.

Is there a way to rename browser nodes within a part in a similar way that the rename browser nodes tool works in assemblies? I am copying designs with derived parts, after copying the design I can see that the part files contain the correct links to other parts when I open the base component but they display as the old name in the browser which is not ideal.

Looking for a way to add additional properties to the drop-down list in Rename Browser Nodes.
Standard List:
Filename
Part Number
Default
Additional properties would be a concatenation of native inventor properties:
<Part Number>-<Description>

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 the alpha sort function available trough API ? It's located in Assembly tab, Productivity tools. I'd like to use it in a custom program instead of asking my customer to click on the button.

I am attempting to rename a browser node. Here is the code I'm using and I'm getting a "Property 'Label' is 'ReadOnly'" error. In the API I found a note about using SetLabel() but that seems to only have ones for ClientMade browser nodes.
oSubAssyNode.BrowserNodeDefinition.Label = "XXX"

WHAT WERE they thinking when they created the Rename Browser Command. We had someone find out about it and really screw up a bunch of top level assy's. I'm having to WASTE WAY TOO much time fixing them, bringing them back to showing the modified descriptions in the Browser.

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.

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.

Working on a product configurator using iLogic and have a large amount of hardware that needs to be suppress or unsuppressed based on certain parameter choices. Instead of creating hundreds of lines of code suppressing and unsuppressing the hardware one by one, I was hoping to put hardware into folders based configurations. In my mind this would have allowed me to have one line that would suppress the folder as needed. Unfortunately I cannot figure how to suppress a folder in iLogic as I saw someone else mention I was hoping for a "Folder.IsActive" rule but have yet to find one.

I want my browser name using iLogic particular change to the part number. I fill in my iproperties, the part number. Then the browser name has to take over the part number.
But i get an error.
doc = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oCC As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oCC In doc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
OccName = oCC.Name
oCC.Name = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")

When I replace elements with iLogic the Inventor Browser is not automatically refreshed.
E.g. I have a file A.ipt and I replace it with B.ipt then in the Brwoser will be shown: A.ipt:1, even when B is already inserted.
Is there some refresh, like "Update Browser nodes when done" ?
These both has no influence on it:
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
By the way. To Update the Browser manually, I have to rename the block nodes (From Filename to Filename). So it's only opening up the Renaming Function and then hitting "ok".
If there's no direct function to update the Browser, maybe there's a way to do the manually way by iLogic?

I'm trying to create an ilogic rule that will look within the folders of an assembly and take the contents of each of those folders and demote them to separate sub-assemblies.
ie. Assembly1 contains NewFolder 1. NewFolder 1 contains Part1:1 and Part2:1. Upon executing the ilogic rule, I would like Assembly1 to contain NewFolder 1 and within NewFolder 1, Assembly1-01. Assembly1-01 contains Part1:1 and Part2:1. I would like this ilogic rule to look within each successive folder within Assembly1 and demote them according to their position in the browser such that NewFolder 1 - at the top of the browser list - contains Assembly-01, NewFolder 2 contains Assembly-02, etc.
I currently copy a master assembly with browser folders that contain parts and sub-assemblies to a secondary assembly where I manually demote the contents of the folders to sub-assemblies. When I create a drawing for our machine assembly department, the demoted sub-assemblies to isolate only those parts - nuts, bolts and the pieces they fit to - so it is easier for the assembly department when putting a machine together.
Is it possible, using ilogic, to demote folder contents to sub-assemblies with an assembly document?

I am looking to apply a set part number iproperty to the first, then second, then third components in the assembly browser tree in my iLogic rule, regardless of their current part number. (I need to select them by their position in the browser tree as their part number will vary). How do I do this?

I want to be able to have All Work Planes set as 'Invisible' but create a Message.box or Icon that allows me to change the Visibility of any individual workplane(s) physically selected in the browser.
A rule written by another member should do the trick if the following line could be altered so as not to read 'For Each' oWorkPlane but instead for 'Each Selected' oWorkplane.
'For Each oWorkPlane In docFile.ComponentDefinition.WorkPlanes'
'get user input
oInput = InputRadioBox("Select workplane visibility:", _
"Turn ON workplanes for all components", "Turn OFF workplanes for all components", "False", "iLogic")
'Define the open document (top level assembly)
Dim openDoc As Document
openDoc = ThisDoc.Document

I am trying to use the Browsernode.addchild method to add an occurence to an empty browser folder. The code fails at this point and I gett an error pointing to the line "Call oTargetNode.AddChild(oSourceNodeDef)". I can add the occurence with the browserpanes.Reorder method without issue if the folder is not empty. The code is pasted Below.

I have created a report from a frame analysis of an arrangement of I-Beam steelwork. I need to check that I have placed the nodes in the right order and this is reflected in the results of the report. I have the parent and child nodes connected at the ends of the beams as shown on the attached screen shot. I'm interested to know if the order in which I have selected the nods makes any difference to the results. There a 3 node connection points at each corner section.

I want to make some changes to the node information in an assembly browser but as there are many hundred parts so I only want to do the operation on the expanded nodes to keep any delay to a minimum.

What I am trying to do is importing a CorelDraw file into Inventor and extruding a few features. The point is to mimic a silkscreen file on metal work. My work process has been as such: create the file in CorelDraw and change all lines/shapes to curves. Save the complete CorelDraw as a dwg. Open the dwg in Inventor and copy and paste the sketch into a new part in Inventor. This process seems to work for simple parts. As soon as there is text and more complicated features there is alot of points which slows my computer down and makes it impossible to do anything. Any way to auto-reduce points in a sketch or have a better way of importing vector files into Inventor? I have tried importing the text as text instead of curves but it does not transfer correctly.
