Is it possible with iLogic code to set a parameter in a bunch of parts equal to another paramter?
I want some iLogic code that will go into my pipe parts and make the PL param = D2.
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.

I'm using VBA in Inventor 2010. I want to create a macro that adds 3 fields to a part for LRNGTH, WIDTH and THICKNESS, as well as comments and setting the export to be export out. My program is below and works well. However i would like to end the macro with the parameter dialog box open. What code do i need to do this?

I'm trying to recreate a bunch of IV-Studio settings to match a bunch of renders made by previous staff that did not leave behind the assembly files they used to make them in the first place.
I've ran into a problem with some parts displaying incorrectly. (they display incorrectly in the render/in the studio environment/ in the assembly/ and when in the part file) I've played with material and appearance styles but they have no effect, I've also tried quality/performance/compatibility hardware modes.
We have 5 or 6 parts that share the ridge pattern that is causing problems and they are affected in the same way.I'm running XP(32), IV2012-sp2, fx1800 with 6.14.0012.6570 drivers.

However it does not work, I am assuming that this is because I am running INV 2009 +ilogic.
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
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.
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.
I know how to get a parameter into my list of custom iProperties.What I want to do is take the iProperty lbmass and add it to the list of user parameters. Is there any way to do this without using iLogic?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
In 2009 Inventor iLogic, we have a button to delete all parameters and rules. But now, in 2013 Inventor iLogic, I only find a button to delete all rules. Where is the button to delete all parameters?

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?
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.
A while back I figured out how to put a few characters before and after several lines of code in iLogic to make it compress to one line or expand to its full size inside the code editor. I belive this is a fairly common VBA command, but I can't figure out how to do it again.

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.

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).

However, I have one iLogic routine that is giving me an error whenever I run it. Selecting continue allows it run as expected. Basically, it is to remind designers to set the material type to other than “Default”.
Here is the Materialsddd = 0' deleted parameter materialName = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Material.Name If materialName = "Default" Then MultiValue.List("MName") = iProperties.Materials MName = InputListBox("Select Material", MultiValue.List("MName"), Mname, Title := "Select Type", ListName := "MM List") iProperties.Material = Mname iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True The Parameter MName does exist as a mulitlist parameter.
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?
