This att. doc shows rule for exporting dxf out of drawing. It is working on one sheet just perfect. In multi sheets it save allways with same name. I want to choose from which sheet i need dxf but to be saved by sheet name or model properti name. Is that possible?
View 9 RepliesI have problems to export dwf with ilogic
I use parts of the snippets than ships with inventor, but I can not export the 2d and 3d in the same dwf.
Perhaps it might have something to do with that when I export a 2d file the traditional way only 2d gets exported to the dwf if i dont open the tab that lets you choose 2d and 3d model.
Even if i have the 3d model checked i have to open the tab to get both 2d and 3d, if i dont open the tab only 2d
Here is the code.
path_and_name = ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False)
DWFAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{0AC6FD95-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}")
oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism

I would like to copy and paste all iproperties from one part to another, without retyping it all.
What i was thinking about is:
1. Exporting all iproperties to .txt
2. Run a import .txt rule to iproperties.
Is it possible? If so, How could i accomplish a task such as this?

I want to export reference parameters to an excel table using i-Logic
I found the function GoExcel.CellValues("filename.xls", "Sheet1", "A2", "A10") = MultiValue.List("d0")
It looks like the syntax calls for the file location and name if the xls file is not open and if open is not supposed to be required.
I have entered it both ways and with and with out the target file open and with the function GoExcel.Open("pathFilename.xls","sheet1") and continue to get the error:
we couldn't find C:AbellAbell VaultWorkSpaceDEVELOPMENTAC100-0100MRLTEST Table.xls. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
Also, I was expecting that to fill in the sheet cell's would be MultiValue.List("d0","d1","d2")
but the system give me an error that says
Error on Line 3 : Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'List' accepts this number of arguments.
See below

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 have been using a simple rule to export IDW drawings to ACAD 2000 DWG format using Inventor 2011. I upgraded to Inventor 2012 Pro past weekend and am having problems running Ilogic Rules.
Running the rules on Inventor 2012 Pro either manually or using Triggers errors out. The same rule run using Inventor 2011 works ok. The code I have is direclty from the My Snippet> Export DXF from IDW. All occurences of "DXF" were replaced with "DWG". Here is the complete

The ilogic Code is given below. if some new settings in Inventor 2012 need to be changed for it to work? Or if you have an ilogic rule to do the same that works,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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 doing a tie rod the issue I have is when the length is between 2.001 and 2.250 we would drill thru all but only tap the ends .750 deep. If the part is 2.000 would would drill and tap thru in one step and not have to rotate the part in the lathe.
How do I get ilogic to understand if my number is between this 2.001 and 2.250 to lengthen the drill length parameter?Or add a mid plane cut? ( trying now code below reflects this try)
Not sure what way I want yet but I just can't seem to find a snippet or code to do this. I tried to add a list in the parameters for it to read but seems to do nothing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is insert a part into an assembly file using iLogic. I basically want to mimic Inventor’s “Place” command using ilogic, maybe something like this:

I have an external ilogic rule that creates a set of DWF drawings for all parts and subassemblies (as long as the idw files exist) within and including a main assembly.
I would like to merge all the DWF drawings of the sub assemblies and component parts into the DWF of the main assembly. Is there a method within DWFAddIn that will allow me to merge the files? Is there another way that I can merge the DWF files using the same ilogic rule (one rule to create and merge all DWF's together?)
I have closed profile "Sketch1" placed on one of the parts in Assembly.

I´ve found some iLogic code to print a drawing to a PDF document. After some minor modifications it works just fine, but I would like to add some code which allows med to set PDF properties (such as "title", "author", etc.) with values from iProperties. How can I do that? Is it possible? (I'm new to iLogic).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use simple set of iLogic rules to manage product configuration through the assembly LOD. Assembly is really simple not more then 30-50 parts. Still I manage to crush Inventor fairly often. Some days 5 and more crashes! Several times sent crash report to AutoDesk for no joy. Never got any feedback.
I am just getting an impression that Inventor does not like LOD manipulated with iLogic for some or the other reason.
I am slowly learning about ilogic, and have created parts and assemblies that are run by rules. My next question is, what exactly can ilogic do for drawings? I've looked at the wikihelp, but I am not a natural at programming and I need more than a list of functions with brief descriptions to get me started.
I'm looking for code snippets, other discussions, tips, tricks, and/or tutorials to get info what I can do with ilogic and the API that can automate parts of the drawing process.
I have been unable to find any code to sort the BOM, there are lots of snippets to sort and modify the Parts list.
How to sort the Assembly BOM?
Sort parameters:
PARTS Only
"BOM Structure"
then by
Custom Parameter "TYPE"
Then By
Part Number
Then "Renumber" starting at 1

I made a 3D model with ilogic to control features to be suppressed or compressed. Because there are lot of features need to do so (need almost 4 to 5 min.) , when I run the rules, it came "Rule timeout" issue as pictures.
I used:
Feature.IsActive (myFeature) = status
to control the feature be suppressed or unsuppressed .
I'm trying to get started with iLogic, but I have no coding background and no VBA experience in Inventor, so I'm looking for a good site or resource that explains iLogic and gives working examples.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen we create a manifold assembly we like to itemize each part individually. Meaning that if we have 5 valves that are the same, we show those as 5 separate items on the BOM. This makes for easier troubleshooting with a customer over the phone. Unfortunately there appears to be no way to manage this natively within Inventor, so we have to edit the BOM manually which defeats the whole idea of automated BOMs. I was hoping some code could come to the rescue. One thought I had was to export the BOM to excel and then have some automation within excel to re-number and sort the BOM, once complete import it back into Inventor in a table.

Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...
We have been experimenting with Parallel threading. The situation is that I have an assembly that contains multiple parts (approx. 40) which all have contained "almost" the same code. In order to rationalize this; we have rearranged the code in such way that we now only reference External iLogic rules form these 40 part files (only one place to revise the code if necessary).
The side effect to this rationalization has been the we have problems in executing the codes in parallel, see this simplified example:
Imports System.Threading.TasksParallel.For(1,40, Sub(h As Integer) iLogicVb.RunRule ("Part "& h &"", "iTriggerRule") End Sub)
Now all of these 40 part files try to execute their code.
'Configutation of Part filesiTrigger=iTrigger0iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Cut configuration")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Bracing of the part")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("Parameter context")
As they all are dependent upon running the same external rules the result is that not all part files are updated according to the required design requirements. It seem as if one of the part files calls the external rule and the rule is "busy" handling another part file it just terminates without warnings or errors.
Can multiple part files run the same external rule at the same time? Is there some form of queue? I do not get any warnings or errors, the partfiles just do not update. How can I make sure that all the part files run the external rules and is there a way of checking this?
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
What is the code to create (or add) a new sheet in a drawing with iLogic?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a few assemblies setup that are controlled with a bunch of iLogic rules to modify all related parts when parameters are changed at the assembly level. I also have an opening message that pops up when the assembly model is opened (After Open Document trigger) to tell people how to use the parameters to make modifications.
Now, when this assembly model is placed into a drawing I am getting random pop ups of the opening message when placing views of additional models in the same drawing. If you open the drawing and try to place a base view of another model, Inventor stops to think for a minute or so before having the opening message of the iLogic controlled model pop up. The only event trigger for this message is "After Open Document" and the model is not being opened; why it is being triggered in the drawing and/or how to make it stop?
I'm working on a small design project and creating a program in Inventor that utilizes a 2D Sketch to calculate the forces in a 2D static Bridge.... Although this is Besides the point.
