AutoCAD Inventor :: Change The Position Of An ILogic InputListBox?
Aug 8, 2012
We have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser.
Looking at using ilogic to display and populate a custom field of available finishes for my products.. I'm using the InputListBox message box and its working BUT I would like to know how to make the actual list box larger (wider to be exact).

Some months ago I created an iLogic code that creates all my notes that I use in my drawings, linked to a form. A good tool the made my work a little easy. Now I wanna make an update on it.
In my code I create a sketchedSymbol and then some textBoxes with my notes, but before that I erase all the Symbols in all sheets and then the main Symbol itself. Then I create again the symbol and textBox in a specific point of my Sheet. So, everytime that I need to update my Notes, it goes to that point of the sheet, it's not a problem, but it's annoying have to move them always to the correct place. And i can't use a specific final point for the notes because it may change according to the drawing.
So, my idea is:
If the Symbol is already created, how can I get its position ?
I create the points with TransientGemometry and then CreatePoint2D, but I dont know how to retrieve these points, even if that is possible.
The code I use is that below (I just erase the notes because it was too big, this is just the main code creating the stuffs).
' Set a reference to the drawing document. ' This assumes a drawing document is active. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument'Update the document oDrawDoc.Update'apaga o symbol existente em cada sheet Dim oSheets
I am creating a drawing controlled by ilogic. The assembly can vary in size considerably so I have set the IDW to change between sheet size A3 and A2 accordingly using ilogic. However, when the sheet size is changed, the parts list stays in a static position.
Currently, the parts list is situated in the top right corner up against the title block and the border. So when changing from Size A3 to Size A2, the parts list ends up in the middle of the page. Is there anyway i can control the position of the parts list so it changes with the sheet size change?
I know I could simply move the partslist to the bottom left corner, which is a work around. However, I'd like to be able to keep the drawings in line with the company standard.
I will be pulling the subassemblies in as read-only parts and I would like to change the positional representation with code in the top level assembly.
I have a spreadsheet and iLogic driven mater assy to generate different iterations.
I would like to change the scale of a base view on a drawing based on a parameter in my assembly. The idea is to get iLogic to change the view using a simple If / Else statement.
This is what I tried:
If Parameter("0 Generic Assembly v2.2.iam.BP") < 1570 Then ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/8 Else ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/10 EndIf
So basically the value of "BP" parameter (excel parameter in my assy) would drive the scale of the views. But its not working. Is it actually a sensible method? Can I use in the drawing environment the excel parameters in my assembly?
This is the error message I get when the rule is run:
"Error in rule: View Scale, in document: 0 Generic Assembly v2.2.idw
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))"
Also using the same thinking I use iLogic to populate the drg number field on the drawing based on an excel parameter. The rule works but does not always updates the drawing no upon the parameter change or update/rebuild commands.
is there any way that I can change position of represenations with shortcut on keyboard? I use mouse to select each position now.

I've seen snipppets of code to get the Sheet name but is there a way to set it via code? I'm thinking it might be useful to set the sheet names to the chosen sheet format (as opposed to just 'Sheet').
I'm sprucing up my drawing template...
Rule #1 is for selecting sheet format (which title block/sheet size / orientation) Rule #2 is for setting iproperty values to populate the titleblock with info. (if required) Rule #1 was based on code from S.Bixler & inventortrenches Rule#2 was based on more code taken from here.
Issue between an i-assembly and i-Logic. So, I have an assembly that includes some extra components that are not always needed and therefore an i-Logic rule takes the decision whether these will be suppressed or not.
Of course this is not a problem however it turns out that I miss some info from BOM according to the suppressed parts ...and all these makes sense following the LOD etc.
A potential solution to keep up to date the BOM while you are excluding the needless components is to create an i-Assembly.
To keep that simple I turned my current Assembly to an i-Assembly and very successfully I excluded various components and of course I included some others by adding extra ROWS.
So far So good
Now I want to apply some dimensional boundaries by using i-Logic rules. According to them I want to allow this i-assembly to jump among these different ROWS that meet the right criteria.
Very rough thoughts led me to the following code...
For example...
If Width > 600 Then iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-1' Else iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-2' End if
The Problem is that the above code works fine, for a example, in case that I will place an i-part in my assembly... However I am looking to change the row of the actual assembly that as I mentioned before I turned it to an i-assembly
To make this even more clear I want to be able to manipulate my i-assembly with i-Logic rules while this is open in Inv. I don't want to change rows while this is placed as a component or sub-assembly in an another assembly...
I am using Inventor 2012: I have a table with different part numbers. I want to create an iLogic rule to change the color of second solid body in my part for a specific part number.
This is what I did.
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796" Then Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray" ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796V" Then Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Dark)" ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796N" Then Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Light)" Else Feature.Color("plastic")="Gray" End If
However it does not change the color of the second solid body when I make the part number active.
I have a sheet metal part that I converted into an iPart and I set up different rows with different sheet metal styles. What I want to do is run an iLogic code to change to a specific row which in turn would change the actual material of that sheet metal part....I've tried the snippet iPart.ChangeRow but cannot get it to run the code. I'm not sure if I'm not doing something right or what...
I would like to know if it is possible to use iLogic to change the Hole Type from Through to Tapped as conditions dictate. Is this even possible? I already have a backup plan but wanted to check out all possibilites before I proceed. Using Inventor 2012 SP2.
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 got this code earlier from Curtis_Waguespack, and i would like to add a setting... When i run this rule it Derives the assembly, but LOD is set to Master, i would like it to be set to my own (Configurator) LOD...
I don't seem to be able to find anything in this code, that defines LOD...
So far im doing ok with the standard ilogic code, but when it´s API or VBA code im lost.. which leads me to this.. i've been searching the forum back and forth to find a code that performs the feature "Shrinkwrap", and somehow everything i have found so far does not work... even the code example in Inventors help menu under programming, Therefore im trying to solve this with Curtis's code as staring point..
'set a reference to the assembly component definintion.'this assumes an assembly document is open.Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinitionoAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition 'define the path and file nameDim sPathandName As StringsPathandName = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)
I need to change one dimension using iLogic. It changes due to the path taken to manufacture the part. In a nutshell majority of the time the "OD" has a +.004 / .000 tolerance and the model is drawn at the minimum size. There are cases when the "OD" has a +.005/-.005 tolerance and is modeled at the nominal size. I've learned some of the iLogic to make the change I'm after but not all. I'm having trouble setting ModelValueType to change the model size.
The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.
Is there a way to control what the Base Quantity is in Document Settings using iLogic. I want to be able to use a form to change it to a parameter I have created.
I am trying to change the titleblock definition of a drawing when I run my custom ilogic code. Currently (and for the past few years) the drawing name is defined by the drawing properties part number but when I run my code I would like the drawing name to be defined by the model properties part number as shown below:
Currently the textbox for the part number is configured as below:
And I'd like to change it to this:
The code I have to find the part number is as follows:
Dim x = 1 Dim oTxtBox As Inventor.TextBox For Each oTxtBox In oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes If oTxtBox.Text = "<PART NUMBER>" Then oStuff =
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") Next
I want to be able to change the header on a PL in a drawing using iLogic.
I'm able to "find" the PL(s) on a drawing but can't seem to figure out how to access the header property My goal to to change the header to show the P/N of the assembly/part it's created from.
My Current code is below:
doc=ThisDrawing.Document oBOMs=doc.DrawingBOMs
For Each oBOM In oBOMs MessageBox.Show("Found a PL", "Title") Next oBom
In between the for/next loop is where I want to access the current BOM and change it's header depending on the related .iam/.ipt.
I am looking for a rule that will search assembly down all levels and find .ipts with the material of plywood and when found change all plywoods to color Clear - Light.
