AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Parameter From IPT File

Aug 8, 2012

I created a *.iam file. And from this asembly file, I need run some rules in *.ipt file.

I use

Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12

to give d12 parameter in my assembly to d12 parameter in *.ipt. It works.

But I need get parameter in the *.ipt file after running the rules in *.ipt.

so, I put 

d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")

following above line.

But everytime, I just be able to get the result before *.ipt run the rules, not after.

I noticed the rules in assembly were compeletely run, then run the rules in *.ipt. So, the result is not correct.

I am using Inventor 2009 with ilogic. XP OS.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Set Parameter For End Value Of Parameter Animation

Dec 19, 2011

I got a deadline for my project, but I got a big problem:

"I cannot set the "parameter" for the End Value in Parameter Animate dialog"

For easy understand, let's see a example:

1. I got a part which has two parameters named: "A" and "MaxA"
2. I animate Favorited parameter A.
3. The End Value is MaxA_ (Everything is ok)
4. I finish Studio environment, then I change parameter MaxA_ from 200 mm to 400 mm
5. I turn back to Studio environment, the End Value now is "200 mm" (I want this will be MaxA_, so I can animate the flexible parameter). 

show me how to keep the end value will be "MaxA_" after I change parameter?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ipart - Standard Parameter Column Change Depending On Custom Parameter Column

Jan 3, 2013

I am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.

I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)

Is this possible?

AutoCAD .NET :: Passing Parameter To Batch File?

Nov 20, 2012

I got a problem to pass parameter from VB to batch file. My code is below to run the batch file and to pass parameter.

Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimension And Parameter

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Parameter In IProperties

Jan 6, 2014

Sometimes I change the dimensions of a material I use but then I have to open Iproperties and change the description by hand. This can create problems as you can understand especially when I forget to update the Iproperties.

Then I had the thought to automate it. Lets take a steel bar as example. I have thickness and width as parameter, both are exported and available under IProperties/Custom. But they show as 200 mm and 10 mm. I would like to loose the units. I tried also UL but then it reads 200 ul and 10 ul.

What I like to get are just the numbers, no units. I like to use it to create this  "steel bar 200x10" where the 200 and the 10 are linked to the Parameter and will change when I change the dimensions av the steel bar.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom VBA Function In Parameter

Jan 31, 2013

I've got a custom VBA function that works perfectly when called from a parameter in my part.

However, when in the context of my assembly, there is no error, but the function no longer runs, and the parameter text is red.

Apparently, the function is no longer in context?

I've heard of external rules, but have never implemented one.

Is there a way to declare my function and keep it in context regardless?
 
Public Function BumpHeight(dblHeight As Double, dblMember As Double) As Double Dim X As Integer X = 2 If dblHeight > dblMember * 2 Then BumpHeight = dblHeight Else BumpHeight = dblMember * X End If BumpHeight = BumpHeight / 2.54 End Function
Here is the Parameter:

 VBA:BumpHeight(ValanceBackBumpoutHeight;ValanceMemberSize) * 1 in

Update: (problem better defined)

What seems to be happening is that once I insert the part into an assembly, it creates a new blank copy of the parts' modules in VBA and the functions no longer work.

If I go to the VBA editor, 

There are now two copies of my part listed in the browser tree, but the new one is blank.

If I paste in my function to the new one, it will work until I return to the parent assembly.

Next time I come back to the part, it will have a new blank set of modules.

This appears to continue indefinitely...

see the attached screenshot.

At this point there are only 2 copies of the DocumentProject. The original still contains my functions, but the new one is blank.

I need these functions to work in order to build my model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Round Parameter Using ILogic?

Sep 20, 2011

how to round a parameter using ilogic.

For example. I have Roperev=Roperev_1. Roperev_1 is determined by an excel equation. I need Roperev to produce a nominal number because this parameter dries a coil revolution and I need the revolution to be a whole number.

I can not just round the excel result because the excel result needs to be multiplied by 2.53 to get the resultant for Roperev_1

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pattern Subassembly By Parameter

Sep 5, 2013

In my head assembly I have a subassembly that has derived parts from my skeleton. My skeleton (part ending with skt in the picture) is in the subassembly.

In this subassembly I made a view representation: NoSKT..When this is activated the skeleton is hided (see picture).If I now make a pattern of this subassembly in my head assembly with for example a parameter from my embedded excel or a parameter in inventor "quantity = 2" inventor will add 1 element with the same view representation. Still no problem.

The problem is now when I change the parameter. If I change the quantity to for example 3, the view representation of the third element is gone and the skeleton will become visible.I have many parts like this in my head assembly and quite a lot of patterns. Which means a lot of skeletons become visible. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using ILogic To Change Parameter

Mar 26, 2013

When I import a part from content center, a tube in this case, I get a length parameter called <PL>.

I am using this parameter in the parts lists, so it shows "=Outer diameter x thickness x <PL>"

However I don't want trailing zeros, leading zeros or units string to be shown.

I know I can open the parameters window, right click the parameter, then click custom property format and then uncheck these boxes and its fine.

But I want to know if there is a smarter way to do this, like creating a rule to execute on all the parts?

I have around 500 pipes with the parameter <PL> that needs to be changed.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pass Parameter To DLL Using ILogic

Mar 26, 2013

I have built a vb interface using a tutorial from AU. Now I would like to do the same without the interface.

Inventor uses ilogic to pass parameters to the dll - the dll does the number crunching & returns values to Inventor - no interface required.

The tutorial uses an OK button to fire values back & forth - how can I do this without a button? I would like this to fire in the background without a form appearing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parameter Precision In Form

Apr 11, 2013

I have the following problem:

I have created a form in which I need to see the volume value. For that I created a User Parameter that is set to be equal with part's volume:

Volume=iProperties.Volume

What I don't like is that the precision for the parameter is too long and I can't change it.  I changed the precision in Document Settings and also for the parameter itself in the Parameters window, but these changed don't affect what is the form.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ilogic Parameter Identification

Dec 31, 2012

I have several part models that are very simple and are basically long cylinders. I want to create an external ilogic rule that i can run in each part file that can identify the largest sketch parameter dimension. So basically it will find the Length of the cylinder due to it being a larger dimension and then rename the parameter.

I could just name the cylinder length sketch parameter the same in each part file, but I wanted to attempt to make it more universal for all users. So if a new user forgets to properly label his part parameters, the ilogic program can identify what parameter it should be looking for and rename it properly.
