I populate the members of a (text) Paramter from an Excel file
i.e.
MyArrayList = GoExcel.CellValues.("MyExcelWB.xlsx", Sheet1", "A2","")
Now this list contains plenty of duplicates. Is there anyway inside iLogic to remove the duplicates.
I use a setup with Shader List (Volume) with two mists. One regular and one to blur out the horizon. After working on the scene for some time I notice that the shader list now contains eight copies of the last shader. I think I would remember if I did that. So, whats up with the shader list?

Trying to have ilogic find parts in an assembly that start with 900C7 so I can link the to a cell in excel showing the QTY and the LENGTH..
Right now I am just trying to get ilogic to find and list them then I know I can move to the next step..
Example:
900C71.250
900C72.125
900C7A.750
900C7P1.1875
And many more.
Here is what I have but it keeps posting the NOTHING message box. I have a few of the parts in the assembly and a few none 900C7 parts.

Is there a way I can write some code, so that in idw, I can choose from two different text for "Description" in BOM table? My work place requires to show material information when it's a fabrication drawing, to show part description in assembly drawing in "Description" column.
At the moment, we just override material information (for example, 40x40x3 RHS) to part description (RHS Spreader). It's not very safe to do that. Most of the times, we just forget to change it.

I have a section of code (see below) which runs a program which highlights a part/subassembly red, then gives the user a list dialgue box in order to easily replace the compent. At present, I have this code repeated for each part/subassembly in my main assemby (i.e. FRAME, POWER_RISER, BUSBAR_CHAMBER, BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY...).
Having the code repeated multiple times, means it is very time consuming to modify. I want to be able to generate a list then have the code below, run for each of the entries in the list. So I need something along the lines of
dim mylist as something
mylist = FRAME, POWER_RISER, BUSBAR_CHAMBER, BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY...
FOR each entry in mylist
run all the code below (with the words 'BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY' replaced with 'mylist'

It takes a list of Parameters and cycles through the assembly looking for parts with the same parameter names. It then copies the value of the parameter from the assembly down to the part.
It occured to be that this would be more efficient if I didn't have to manually create a list of parameters to compare.
What I'd like to do is create a list of all parameters in the assembly file that begin with the prefix 'A_', and compare this list against the parameter list held in each subassmbly and part file in the assembly, copying the values down as before.how to build the parameter list?

The error its showing is 'Parameter incorect' on the line that sais PartsList.add(...

I need to generate an iLogic rule exporting Parts List (not BOM) from a IDW to a specific folder in XLS format.
Using Autodesk AutoCAD Inventor 2011
I am trying to populate a multi-value user parameter with a list composed of the various materials available from the iProperties "Physical" tab. So far I have this:
For Each material In iProperties.Materials
Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material)
Next
iProperties.Material=Bracket_Material
Running the Rule gets this error message:
Rule Compile Errors in Material_Rule, in _Mounting_bracket.ipt
Error on Line 2 : 'Bracket_Material' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I think I am doing the "Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material) " line wrong, but I don't know enough VB to fix it. It seems to me it IS declared in the Parameters table - isn't adding the parameter to the parameter table sufficient to declare it?
Eventually I want to add the Bracket_Material Parameter to a form so the user can select material from drop down list and assign it to part.
I have got some ilogic code that i have patched together to sort my parts list in inventor which works great but it will not update all sheets at the same time as when we design we have multiple sheets with parts list on and the odd one without.
add to this code to update all sheets partlists and also recognise that some sheets will not have partslists on so this will need to skip.

Below are 2 rules that run in succession to create and save a parts list from a base view in a drawing.
I am now trying to set the parts list style to a custom style, ideally while creating the list.
Also, I have to manually go into the list to turn off visibility of certain items (based on material), does I can do this with Ilogic? I ask because these steps precede a rule that automates placing base views of all parts in the parts list. If I could get the style and visibility right, I could automate the entire process.
Looking for changing such a style with ilogic?

A client was looking to develop a custom interface for documenting iAssemblies.
Would it be possible with iLogic to:
1. Show form.
2. User selects a Browse button to select iAssembly to document.
3. List all iAssembly configurations in the form.
4. User picks configuration.
5. Select OK to create base view, projected view, and Parts List.
This may require API.
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 am Trying to add the category Field to the parts list, if a sting exists in the field. I want to run this as a rule at the Drawing Level. I can check if there is a sting in the Category Field But not sure how to add this in the Parts List.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a multi value selection containing name vaules from an iPart.
I want to make a selection from the field in my form and swap out my iPart in the assembly for my selection.
I thought that something like:

MulitValue.SetListInComponent ("FileName:1", "Param name", "list of params.......")
Parameter("FileName:1", Param name") = "PK 407" 'could be any thing selected from the list of params..
iFactory=Param name
iPart.ChangeRow("iPart Factory File Name:1", iFactory)
Such that the part would be swaped out for what ever Param name = as a result of user selection.

1. I have a number of folders where the photo's where stored on my Mac HD. I then moved these folders to a new location on an external HD. I re-imported these folders into Lightroom and they showed up under the external HD. However, all of the colour coding/ratings and even the adustments I have made to the images are not visibible. Is there a way I can correct this?
2. I've also imported a number of folders to Lightroom that were originally colour coded/rated in Bridge and edited in Adobe Camera RAW. Again the edits that I made to these and the ratings info is not visible. Is there a way I can change this?
3. Is there a way to search for duplicates within a particular folder or within the whole library?
At my company when producing drawings for manufacture we require a sheet for any steel profiles to be cut!..We do this by selecting the assembly from base view,hitting model view tab, selecting presentation and choosing the relevant profile from the drop down!
Once the profile is placed, we highlight the view and hit the parts list tab which obviously creates a parts list, but for the whole assembly, we then have to edit the parts list by turning off the visibility of the lines of all the parts which are not relevant!!...as you can imagine this is quite a laborious task if you have 50 different profiles.
The reason for this is to show the qty, steel grade and part number to the suppliers. My question is, any code that will take the lines of the parts list that are not relevant to the selected view and turn the visibility of those lines off?
I was just wondering how to place a component into an assembly using ilogic? If this is possible, is there also an option to choose if iMates will be generated?
I would ideally like to place a list of components into an assembly, the list with probably exist in excel, then have iMates set to 'Automatically generate iMates on place' so that my assembly assembles automatically.

I want to print what is in the Message Box into a cell in the parts list, and i am stumped. The cell i am trying to print to is a user property in the Parts List.
I am trying to make an iLogic rule that gets mutliple strings from different places, and prints them to a user property in the Parts List.
My ultimate goal is to print the drawing number, sheet number and the item column value to the user property with the format being...
"XXXXX-X-X"
So far, i can get the drawing number from an iProperty and the sheet number easily. But im getting stumped on obtaining the item coloum value and printing it to the same row.
This is what i have so far...
Dim DWGNUM As String = iProperties.Value("custom", "DWG Number")
SheetNumber = Mid(ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.Name, InStr(1, ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet.Name, ":") + 1)
MessageBox.Show(DWGNUM+"-"+SheetNumber, "DXF Number")
And print the message box output to a column in the parts list
