AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Code To Change View Label Text

Sep 18, 2012

I am trying to rewrite Curtis Waguespack's ilogic code to modify drawing view labels from this post http: [URL]...

The completed label should appear like this

<Description> - Mk <Part Number>
Est Unit Mass = X kg
(Scale 1:1)

At this point I have 2 problems

1. I want to add the physical mass to the second line and would prefer to use the calculated physcial property rather than the a custom iproperty. If editing the view label, it would the property access under physcial properties.

2. I want to rewrite the code so it is selective or per view - in otherwords, I only want it to modify a single view I select once the code is run. At this point I know I need to remove the For loop but I dont have a clue as to how to make it selective.

'start of ilogic codeDim oDoc As DrawingDocument: oDoc = ThisDoc.DocumentoModel = ThisDoc.ModelDocumentDim oSheets As SheetsDim oSheet As SheetDim oViews As DrawingViewsDim oView As DrawingViewoSheets = oDoc.SheetsFor Each oSheet In oSheetsoViews = oSheet.DrawingViews For Each oView In oViews oView.ShowLabel = True

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Text Height Of Drawing View Label Through VBA?

Jan 28, 2013

Is it possible to change the text height of a drawing view label through VBA?

I have tried to change it by creating a new text style manually with the text height I require and then through VBA set the view label to use that style.

The View label takes on the new style but does not change the text height.

I have tried to use 'StyleOverride FontSize=' but I have text that is multi lined and using this command converts all my text onto one line.

Is it possible to change the text height of a drawing view label through VBA?

Below is my code so far,

Sub HoleDetailSheetLabels()    
' Declare the Application object
Dim oApp As Inventor.Application
' Obtain the Inventor Application object.
' This assumes Inventor is already running.
'Set oApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")

[code]...

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Automatic Drawing View Scale Label

Apr 17, 2012

what i am trying to do is create an iLogic rule that if your drawing view scale is set to the following ...

1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:12, 1:!6, 1:24, 1:32, 1:48, etc. on the view label for that view it will diplay ...

SCALE: 1/2" = 1'-0"

and so on for the rest for the standard scale factors.

i know it will be some sort of a loop and it needs to check all views when ran for any changes.

i have never done any coding for the drawing side of inventor yet only model coding

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 - ILogic Code To Change Drawing Layer Color

Aug 27, 2011

How to change the color of layer that will be used within a drawing files for special purposes.

Ideally the code will make the color Red, but change to Black prior to printing.

The "logic" behind the code currently is to differentiate a layer called "Burn" to a highly visible color for the purpose of review by others then, prior to printing, change the color to Black.  The firm I'm currently working for uses gray-scale B sided printers only.  The firm currently uses Blue for dimension and extension lines so to produce drawings that portray both type of objects "lightly".

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Code To Make Text Style Not Visible

Apr 19, 2013

I am trying to create a rule that if a certain property is set to Gx then certain text on a template becomes invisble.

I have created a Text style and thought the following code would suffice....

Format:HTML Format Version:1.0 StartHTML:    
165 EndHTML:   
1942 StartFragment:    
314 EndFragment:   
1910 StartSelection: 314
EndSelection:     314
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Ifz_ValueS="Gx"Then

ThisDoc.Document.StylesManager.Text("Standard").Visible=FalseEndIf

But alas it does not work. I guess I could create the text using layers and make the layers invisible but is it possible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Change Sketch Symbol Text Font

Jun 17, 2012

My iLogic ability is quite limited outside of what I use regularly?

I am trying to change the font style in every text definition in all my sketch symbols in one go. Actually I have started it based on only a selection set but I would be happy with just all symbols too. Below is where I got to, I am stuck on the For Each line to cover each text box in the symbol. Some of the other syntax may not be right either but I can't test it all the way through.
 
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument: oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim oSheet As Sheet: oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheetDim i As LongDim oSymDef As SketchedSymbolDefinition: oSymDef = oDoc.SketchedSymbolDefinitions.Item(i)Dim oText As TextBoxesFor i = 1 To oDoc.SelectSet.CountFor Each oText In ............oSymDef.TextBoxes.Item(i).FormattedText ="<StyleOverride Font='ARIAL'>...< /StyleOverride>"NextNextInventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
 
Also the XML style override is not complete if this is the only way to achieve this result.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Drawing Dimension Text And Symbols Font With ILogic

Nov 2, 2012

I was looking to change the fonts in a drawing for the Dimensions and Symbols that might have been inserted in the Dimension text entries.

This can be done manually bu editing the dimentions text after placemement, but I was ooking to set this as a default.. I cannot see where exactly this is controlled in the Styles Manager - I am only able to change the Dimension text font but the diameter symbol font is always on AIGDT.

I was therefore looking for an iLogicvb code that could do the trick, but I am not able to even change the dimension fonts... The code runs with no errors but nothing gets updated in the drawing...

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet

[Code]....

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Code To Login To / Log Out Of Vault

Oct 14, 2013

I am looking for a way to log out of vault from within Inventor using iLogic codes.  I have created an iLogic rule that automates export an assembly drawing and all sub component drawings. In my code, I have suppressed all Inventor prompts but I do not have a way to suppress Vault prompts. I can manually log off from vault and run this rule without any problems. However, if I forget to do so, I am stuck responding to update requests from vault and check out requests constantly for each and every file. 

any iLogic code to log in and log out of vault?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide ILogic Code From End Users?

Sep 18, 2013

I recently created some iLogic based components. I wonder how difficult it is to protect the iLogic code, similar as VBA code which can be password protected.

The reason being:

1. Of course, to hide & protect the creator's modeling logic;

2. To avoid the relation between parameters being messed up by the end user unintensionally.

I did have the opportunity to raise the question during the Portathon event and the answer was that the protection not directly available, though the workaround could be mixing with some Inventor API coding in .NET.

However, this might defeat one of the benefits of iLogic, simple and ease to use, gentlr learning curve, especially for users with VBA experience. .NET might not be so easy for a lot of engineers from mechanical or other disciplines.

1 Disable the "Edit" button for iLogic components, including rules, forms, etc.; 

2. Put all code that are to be protected in an external file, and then make that file unreadable (password protected, or other protection) to un-intended user, however, readable to those who have proper access privelege.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Temple For ILogic Code?

I am trying to use a code window plugin on my website, and would like to create a temple for iLogic code.  Is there any way to output  iLogic code in a format that would work?

I cannot modify any of the existing templates because iLogic requires information as to whether to make some text brown or blue, and it would need some form of output to do that.

The instruction page is here: [URL]

I have been manually highlighting or using images, but both have their problems. (cut & paste will lead to a pile of errors with the manual highlighting). I can create the css file, but need some form of output beyond cut & paste to work with.

If something is worked out, it will be added to the program and be available to everyone free (this is a Wordpress plugin).

AutoCAD Inventor :: View Label In Base View / Drawing?

Nov 25, 2008

Each time when I place a part in base view, have to follow few steps; go through view label, format Text, than choose type option - [Properties-Model] and its property - [Part Number], than placing dimensions. it takes long time and very repetitive, especially, when placing a hundreds of parts and I was wondering if there is an option, to set up view label; [Properties - Model ]& [Part number], as a DEFAULT. So, each time placing a part, in base view it will come up with correct label. Also, overall dimensions, can it be retrieve using parameters of the part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Not Displaying Parameter Code Properly

Dec 20, 2012

I was working with ilogic, Adding a new rule and all of a sudden I got an error and when I double click on a parameter to add it to the code, the format changed.

It used to look like this when I added a parameter: Parameter("vertical seperation:1", "partitionthickness") 
but now when I double click on a parameter I get this: vertical seperation.ipt.partitionthickness 

Also when I right click on a parameter and select display current state, It does the same thing, for some reason the code does not display like it used to.

I got an error when this first happened and I tried reproduce the error again but it did not appear again. This affected all my parts and even in different projects.

I re installed inventor because I thought there might be a file link broken but it did not fix it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Code To Embed Externally Ran Rule To Ipt

Jan 12, 2013

I have put together some ilogic code which is embedded within a part template, this auto populates the iproperties with the profiles length,width and thickness, and also automatically updates when any changes are made to the said profile When I hit save.

This works a treat when creating new parts, the problem arises when re-using old parts from previous jobs (Which is a regular occurrence),prior to when the code was created.

So I have to run the code as an external rule, but this has caught me,and a few other people out, as we have forgotten to run the rule after making a change to the part so the iproperties aren't automatically updated.

 My question is, is there a snippet of code that I could add to my code, which embeds the the externally ran rule to the Ipt?
