AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Creating STL With Options?
Sep 11, 2013
I created a iLogic routine to generate a STL file if the iProperty "Printed Part" is set to YES.
I am getting an error when Ln33 oTranslator.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oData) is executed.
If iProperties.Value("Custom", "Printed Part") = False Then 'False = "NO"ReturnElseMsgBox ("Selected to output STL for printing" & vbCrLf & "Disable by setting the custom iProperty:Printed Part to NO")End If'Create _OUTPUTS directoryoPath = ThisDoc.PathoFolder

I am new to iLogic and trying to access the "Application Options" under the "Tools" tab. I am trying to grab some information from a couple of fields but it seems that I don't have the right coding or Snippets that indicate how I would do so.

Any good example of ILogic in creating stairs? We generate many different widths, lengths and heights? Been trying to utilize iLogic to make all the different types more easy to create from the start. Have set angle of stringers and certain widths of treads but cannot figure out my rules on the number of treads needed per the length of my always changing stringer lengths. Stumped on how to take a certain length (parameter) and divide it up equally. Top tread flush with top of horizontal stringer and with bottom tread having a minimum and or maximum height the from floor.

I'm new to inventor and I need to be able to create coppies of a part in my assembly that are uniquely identified so they can be individually changed. I see that this can be done through the ribbon with the "Place iLogic Component" button, but is it possible to do this from the API in a rule?
I am using inventor 2012 pro.

I kept the code simple
fname = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension fpath = ThisDoc.PathoPartDocPath = fpath+""+fname+".ipt"oPartDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(oPartDocPath, False)oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument oSheet = oDrawDoc.Sheets.Item(1)oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometryoPoint1 = oTG.CreatePoint2d(5, 5)oBaseView = oSheet.DrawingViews.AddBaseView(oPartDoc, oPoint1, DrawingViewScale, kFrontViewOrientation, kHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle, "Default")
it is a local rule in an idw file that has been saved with an ipt file of the same name saved in the same directory. Now I get the most useless error message ever devised by manking
"The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))"

I'm new in use of iLogic and tried to use it by myself (and internet). But I have some difficulties.
Here is the open point, I wold like to create an assemblies with different length (and also some different part inside).
So I made some iLogic rules to make a configuration of my .iam with length selection.
I made rules to show or hide parts with is linked to the proper length.
I made rules to switch from a positional representation to another one and do the same for level of details representation and for view representation.
All is good in my .iam.
My problem is comming now. When I would like to put my .iam in a .idw in several views (corresponding to different length), my views are the all the same. I can't see one length per view even if I select the proper representation, the proper position and the proper level of detail.
At the end, all this work is to have all views length to be able to make in one drawing all length block in autocad.

Long time Autocad user but now am moving most of my work across to Autodesk Inventor.
Some of the work I do is with companies that their parts are standard components that will not change.
So I am using Inventor to automate the drawings based on their requirements. For example if it needs to be 4m high. then to use 2 x 2m sections. Currently I have create different assemblies of the different potential heights that I can switch between using ilogic but I need to be able to shift the top truss arch depending on how high the truss is.

Im quite new to customizing inventor and have been playing around with I-logic. I can get I-logic to enter values into existing ipt paramaters when run from a rule within the idw. I can also get I-logic to create a custom Paramater within the ipt using some copied API code, however I dont know my way around API at all yet. So...
I was wondering if it was possible to create a custom part parameter from an ilogic rule run in an idw with that ipt featured?

how to change the default options when creating a video?
I keep forgetting to turn off "smart render" and "non-square pixel rendering" in the options dialog when I convert.
Also it would be nice to be able to turn on Dolby 5.1 by default as well.

Ribbon has been acting strange. One example is when creating a sweep the ribbon will not show the mode options to accept or discard changes while creating the sweep path. I have to cycle the ribbon display options to show the X and check options to complete the sweep path. This is only one example of many different odd things happening.
Sometimes when I am simply drawing model lines the selection options for rectangle, circle etc do not appear until I cycle the ribbon display options. This only started in the last week or two.

The options window will not display when typing "options" in the command line or selecting from the drop down. The options menu has to be hidden somewhere because AutoCad will not allow any other commands after typing options until I hit escape. I have tried restarting CAD and rebooting my computer with not luck.

I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.

I am detailing a drawing with typical hole dimensions on a piece of steel angle. The drawing is setup such that the fabricator will have two options for each end of the steel angle. I have created two parts with the two options per end and have placed them outside of the page for reference.
I would like to reference each end of each piece, so that there are four pairs of views on the page (the two legs of the angle at each of the four ends), aligned in a grid. I have determined the best way to do this is with detail views. (Using breaks causes the break sign to appear huge, given the large gap I want between views. Using cropped views does not make it obvious that each end is a cutaway.)
My issue now is aligning the eight views. I know of the align options (horizontal, vertical, and in position), but they align to the "origin" of each detail, which is the center. With the angles being the same size, this works fine horizontally, but vertically, the pieces will never line up exactly, which is crucial to at least lining up the two legs of a single angle. The best I seem to be able to do is get the detail sizes as close to exact as possible so the centers come close to lining up. Even creating a projected view from a detail treats the cutaway end as part of the geometry, making it look a bit ridiculous.
way to precisely line up the views? I have done extensive searching and am confident that there is no inherent way to align based on a point or edge (seems like a deficiency on Autodesk's part), but is there a way to move the origin of a detail or something like that?

We produce our own plasma cut sheet metal parts (up to 60 mm thick) for our manufactured machines. We have just installed a new machine that has a 24 station drilling/tapping head as well as the plasma head.
Our existing method automated of exporting the DXF shape files works great but I have a problem with drilled/tapped holes. I have configured the DXF output to put the external profiles on a named layer and done the same for internal profiles.
The problem arises with the DXF output of a drilled/tapped hole also being on the internal profile layer as the plasma machine see's any hole (drilled or not) as a plasma cut hole. I need to to be able to put drilled/tapped holes on a different layer but I don't want to have to do this manually (open DXF in Autocad, select and change drilled/tapped holes to another layer), save DXF file, as 80-90% of the parts we use on a machine are plasma cut 9no manual cutting).
So I'm putting it out there for the developers of Inventor to increase the DXF output layer options so that features (drilled/tapped holes, slots, etc..) can be put on a different layer to the inner and outer profiles.

Is there a list of possible options for Apprentice with the Open with Options method?
Even if the Apprentice.open call is inside of a Try Catch, it doesn't throw an error when a file is missing references it just goes back to the routine that called it.

While creating a drawing yesterday, I noticed that the RMB Options to modify a detail view has disappeared?
- Cutout Shape
- Detail Boundry
- Connecting line
I am not sure how long this has been like this, What I do know is that I had a corrupt model, (Broke when it migrated to 2013) I restored from backup and tested the model in ver 2012.
I can not say if bouncing between the two versions of inventor has perhaps changed something, or of this option has not been available for a while?

I have a square to round transition that I need formed up and the shop is telling me that they would prefer to split this thing at the corners rather than the flats. I've tried two different ways of doing this but how to handle this part. It's 10.75" OD at the bottom and 2'-4" square at the top and 1'3" in length and made of 1/4" stainless steel plate. The shop wants this in four bent pieces that they can weld together down the corners.
I've tried making just the one side but I'm not getting the results I would like to see. Making the full transition (as in the picture above) gives the finished result I am looking for but I can't separate it into multiple sides.

When set it to use 11x17 paper it will print 8.5x11 which is the default size for the printer. So if I change the printer options to default to 11x17 it will print with 11x17. Changing the color between color, greyscale, and blackandwhite don't affect the prints either.
Also is there a way to detect the default printer since I noticed when I "printed" a pdf manually and then tried this script it used the pdf printer and not the default printer, which I would always want to use.
Public Sub Single_Print_11x17() Dim oPrintMgr As PrintManager Set oPrintMgr = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.PrintManager If MsgBox("Using default printer """ & oPrintMgr.printer & """ with 11x17 paper. Do you want to continue?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then Exit Sub Print_doc printer:=oPrintMgr.printer, paper:=kPaperSize11x17, black_white:=TrueEnd Sub
If you notice that i'm not using two of the arguements in the function that are passed, that's because they don't appear to affect anything so I just left some of it hard coded. When/if I can get the different options working I'll start using the arguements more since I have plans.
Function Print_doc(ByVal printer As String, ByVal paper As String, ByVal black_white As Boolean) If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> kDrawingDocumentObject Then Exit Function Dim oDrgDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrgDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oDrgPrintMgr As DrawingPrintManager Set oDrgPrintMgr = oDrgDoc.PrintManager 'choose printer works oDrgPrintMgr.printer = printer 'choose sheets works oDrgPrintMgr.PrintRange = kPrintAllSheets 'choose size doesn't work oDrgPrintMgr.PaperSize = kPaperSize11x17 'choose scale works oDrgPrintMgr.ScaleMode = kPrintBestFitScale 'color/black & white don't work oDrgPrintMgr.ColorMode = kPrintGrayScale oDrgPrintMgr.AllColorsAsBlack = black_white oDrgPrintMgr.SubmitPrintEnd Function
I'd love to get all these options working since I want to be able to select size and color options when using my print scripts.
