AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Measure Extents Snippet And Move Face
Nov 2, 2011
We use the snippets from iLogic on all of our parts to measure the length, width or height of our parts. However, we have noticed that when a 'Move Face' operation or a 'Replace Face' operation is used, the length measured does not seem to take into account the Move/Replace operations.
Are the Move/Replace operations different than other features like Extrude/Revolve? Is there something "ghost-like" about them??? The edges work fine on the drawing side, so I'm not sure what is different. Maybe it is the iLogic snippet?
In regards to it being the snippet, is there another code I can use that doesn't require specific feature or part information built in?

Wondering if there is a way to change the ilogic snippet to override the BOM value based on a filename instead of the part number?

I am completely new to ilogic but would like to make a rule in my idw file that change the hatch pattern in a section of a specific material.
Short Version:
I have an aluminum extrusion part. Material is set to Aluminum-6061. In any section view of this part I want the hatch to be ANSI 31 with a rotation of 45 degrees and a scale of .02 How do I do this?

I have some users that use Solid Viewer that I am cosidering switching to Inventor LT. I use Inventor Pro. There is a feature in SolidWorks that let's them quickly display the overall extents; length, width, and height for quoting purposes. The tool creates a transparent box around the 3D model and displays these dimensions.

Is there some method to get the extents (i.e. bounding box) of a sketch? I'd like the vertical and horizontal dimension.

I want to have a Blank size custom iproperty using flat extents length and width this is what i did but gives error is there a way to get this to work the way I want it to? I dont want a Length and width to be seperated would like it all in one.
iProperties.Value("Custom", "BLANK SIZE")=Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength, 3)"X"=Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth, 3)

How to create a measurement between two planes using ilogic rules?
I have created the planes on the asssmbly parts but dont know how to directly pick them.
The measurement is going to be used as reference dimension.

I have just started to use ilogic, what i want to do is measure the length of a loop in a sketch and then use this measurement as a parameter.
I have found this rule that will measure the loop length and display it in a message box
Dim se As SketchEntity = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).SketchLines(1)
MsgBox(ThisApplication.MeasureTools.GetLoopLength(se)*10 & " mm")
but i do not know how to capture the measurement as a parameter .

I am trying to create a iLogic Rule that will measure the Length, Width and Thickness of a part and ut it into the custom fields we have. I am having a hard time remembering how to get it to do it from the assembly level. I want to run this on the assembly and have it populate all the parts inside of it. The code below will do it for a part but what is it I add to get it to drill down into the assembly?
iProperties.Value("Custom", "THICKNESS")=Measure.ExtentsHeight
iProperties.Value("Custom", "WIDTH")=Measure.ExtentsWidth
iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH")=Measure.ExtentsLength
Then I want to add this formula to the Stock Number iProperty = <Length> X <Width> I can get it to add the values but I can not get it to add the formula to the stock number.

In doing a move face I noticed there isn't any parameters that can be edited after the move face has been created. I want to control the face length with a parameter after it has been created. Am I missing something or is there a work-a-round?

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 was recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2005 to AutoCAD 2012. I set my interface to AutoCAD Classic. When I check the Measurement Tools (toolbar) the ribbon appears, but I can not move the toolbar. I run two displays, so the the measure tool shows up on one all the time.

There is any option to merge bottom face of pad eye and pipe curved face... Something like
1. Extrude face to a surface or
2. like notch option available in frame generator ?
N:B - pad eye is made by extrusion and pipe made by frame generator.

All I need to do is merge a circular face to a flat face, so both faces become one continuous face. Is this possible at all?
I have a attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Face 1 needs to be merged with face 2. This is so if I constrain anything to that face it will constrain to the entire face and not either the circular face OR the flat face.

I have unfolded a 3D model into a flat plate, however the bend lines/extents do not appear in ISO.dwg
I doubled clicked into the view to access 'Display Options'. However, I cannot tick the box to display bend extents as this option is shaded out (refer to attached screen dump).

I am using IV ultimate 2013
just found about this add-in:[URL]
But its not working for me:
I ran the installer, created a sheet metal part and hit rebuild all, it did not create any proeprties, also tried to manually create the properteis then hit rebuild, no go.
I also did a search on my hardrive for the ApplicationPlugins, and placed the sheet metal folder in all of them(there were 3) tried again noto.
The add-in also does not appear in the add-in manager.
Or is there different what to get the flat pattern dimensions in 2013

When you create your own template part file and change the "Initial View Extents" setting in Document Settings on the Modelling Tab. Does this affect the behavior of the initial view extents when re-opening a part file created from this template?
FYI - I recently created a new template part file so that the sketch gridline spacing was more relevant to the size of parts I create. I like to use gridlines while in sketch mode because it is a good visual indicator that I'm in sketch mode. On opening a new part file that referenced to my new template, I noticed that the initial view extents meant only a couple of gridlines were visible due to the zoom level. I therefore tweaked my template file by increasing the initial view extents by a factor of 4 (400mm x 200mm).
The problem now is when opening a part file created from this template, the zoom level seems to snap to the customised view extents and not to the physical extents of the part. Right clicking the View Cube and re-setting the "Fit to View" has no effect. This feature seems broken now that I use modified initial view extents.

I'm sure I have accidently set some mode that does this, but when I select a face and do a move function, the entire object moves instead of just that 1 face.
The entire object turns yellow when selected, or yellow/red depending on the size/shape.

When I first upgraded to Inventor 2012 from Inventor 2010, I found that Inventor automatically created and populated three custom iProperties in the sheet metal environment. The props contained information for sheet metal style and sheet metal extents (width and length).
With a fresh installation, Inventor does not seem to be creating the custom props any more. Did I miss a setting or has the feature been discontinued already?

If there is a way to remove the bend extents line when you create flat pattern. I don't mean in the drawing, the actual flat itself. My reasoning for this is when i transfer the flat into my nesting program, the bend extents lines transfer too. See attached img.

Whenever we use measure tool it will show the a dialog box with valves of x,y,z, delta X, delta Y & delta Z. I want to customize the same as per the attached image.
Customize this, dialog box will not disappear(modal) after entering into any other command so no need to remember the values of x,y....etc.

I made a screw that intrudes into a part, but not to the end.
I want to measure the remaining distance, so, i have to select the face of the screw and the hole in the part.
I cannot do that since the program doesn't let me select the faces.
I tried to slice the part with the half section view, but when i press the measure tool the section view ends.

I've created Custom properties, parameters, to get the outside measure of the parts and it works fine until we create and leave activated a work plane outside the part so it measures not until the end of the part but until the plane.
