Why the hole chart has commas instead of decimal points I don't know but how to change them?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI found out that if you have a dimension that is keyed you cannot use the custom property format in the fx. so how do I get ilogic to convert to fractions rounded to a 32nd.
When I put this (see below) in my code it changes my custom iproperty to a yes-no
fractionString = RoundToFraction(Dim_F, 1/32, RoundingMethod.Round)
Here is my code that drives my table in a drawing but the dimensions come as decimal and I need fractions.
If Hole_F_Type = "NONE" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "-"ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "2-Hole" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S1" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S1"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S2" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S2"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S3" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S3"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")End If
I did, a couple of months ago, a part with a rule containing some input boxes. It worked without a bug and set it as a specific template, on Inventor 2012.
I tried to reuse it as a template without changing its rule on Inventor 2013. When the input box pops out and ask the value it needs, if I type "0.2" it says that "string's conversion "0.2" in a 'double' type isn't valid". But if I type "0,2" I have absolutely no problems.

I have a spreadsheet and iLogic driven mater assy to generate different iterations.
I would like to change the scale of a base view on a drawing based on a parameter in my assembly. The idea is to get iLogic to change the view using a simple If / Else statement.
This is what I tried:
If Parameter("0 Generic Assembly v2.2.iam.BP") < 1570 Then
ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/8
Else
ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").Scale = 1/10
EndIf
So basically the value of "BP" parameter (excel parameter in my assy) would drive the scale of the views. But its not working. Is it actually a sensible method? Can I use in the drawing environment the excel parameters in my assembly?
This is the error message I get when the rule is run:
"Error in rule: View Scale, in document: 0 Generic Assembly v2.2.idw
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))"
Also using the same thinking I use iLogic to populate the drg number field on the drawing based on an excel parameter. The rule works but does not always updates the drawing no upon the parameter change or update/rebuild commands.
I have an AutoCAD map 3d 2014 .dwg with points that have object data and Easting, Northing and elevation values.
I am displaying the text of those points in particular the elevation value. This is done through task pane>data>add drawing layer>add style>text...
I hit the properties and select the Z1 from the object properties...
All is well and the text comes as e.g. 24.89752
The above number is accurate, however, I only want two or three decimal points since the number is too long.
Is there a way to reconfigure this so that the number is displayed as 24.89?
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've seen snipppets of code to get the Sheet name but is there a way to set it via code? I'm thinking it might be useful to set the sheet names to the chosen sheet format (as opposed to just 'Sheet').
I'm sprucing up my drawing template...
Rule #1 is for selecting sheet format (which title block/sheet size / orientation)
Rule #2 is for setting iproperty values to populate the titleblock with info. (if required)
Rule #1 was based on code from S.Bixler & inventortrenches
Rule#2 was based on more code taken from here.
Issue between an i-assembly and i-Logic. So, I have an assembly that includes some extra components that are not always needed and therefore an i-Logic rule takes the decision whether these will be suppressed or not.
Of course this is not a problem however it turns out that I miss some info from BOM according to the suppressed parts ...and all these makes sense following the LOD etc.
A potential solution to keep up to date the BOM while you are excluding the needless components is to create
an i-Assembly.
To keep that simple I turned my current Assembly to an i-Assembly and very successfully I excluded various components and of course I included some others by adding extra ROWS.
So far So good
Now I want to apply some dimensional boundaries by using i-Logic rules. According to them I want to allow this i-assembly to jump among these different ROWS that meet the right criteria.
Very rough thoughts led me to the following code...
For example...
If Width > 600 Then
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-1'
Else
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-2'
End if
The Problem is that the above code works fine, for a example, in case that I will place an i-part in my assembly... However I am looking to change the row of the actual assembly that as I mentioned before I turned it to an i-assembly
To make this even more clear I want to be able to manipulate my i-assembly with i-Logic rules while this is open in Inv. I don't want to change rows while this is placed as a component or sub-assembly in an another assembly...
I'm using rules to control a part that I made. This part is available in steel and wood.
But steel = normal and wood is something we have to buy.
I would like to adjust my rule so that my material choice will effect the "Default BOM Structure"
I just can't find the right "code" to start with.
I am using Inventor 2012: I have a table with different part numbers. I want to create an iLogic rule to change the color of second solid body in my part for a specific part number.
This is what I did.
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray"
ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796V" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Dark)"
ElseIf iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "F22111796N" Then
Feature.Color("plastic")= "Gray (Light)"
Else
Feature.Color("plastic")="Gray"
End If
However it does not change the color of the second solid body when I make the part number active.
I have a sheet metal part that I converted into an iPart and I set up different rows with different sheet metal styles. What I want to do is run an iLogic code to change to a specific row which in turn would change the actual material of that sheet metal part....I've tried the snippet iPart.ChangeRow but cannot get it to run the code. I'm not sure if I'm not doing something right or what...

In metric I am geting the feet interval of contours
How to change the feet to decimal system
For an autocad assignment, we have been given a drawing in engineering notation (feet and inches) and have to draw it with SI units dimensions. Doing the drawing was fine, BUT, I drew it in inches and thought that I could change it to millimetres.
I have used the units command initially to set up engineering. Then after drawing returned to units to change to decimal. Dimensions turned out in inches regardless. I also tried the scale command to alter the scale, then dimension , still no luck. I went into the annotation menu got to modify primary units and alternate units and still no luck. Not even my tutorial teacher knows how to do this.
I would like to know if it is possible to use iLogic to change the Hole Type from Through to Tapped as conditions dictate. Is this even possible? I already have a backup plan but wanted to check out all possibilites before I proceed. Using Inventor 2012 SP2.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?
For example:

In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.

So far im doing ok with the standard ilogic code, but when it´s API or VBA code im lost.. which leads me to this.. i've been searching the forum back and forth to find a code that performs the feature "Shrinkwrap", and somehow everything i have found so far does not work... even the code example in Inventors help menu under programming, Therefore im trying to solve this with Curtis's code as staring point..

I need to change one dimension using iLogic. It changes due to the path taken to manufacture the part. In a nutshell majority of the time the "OD" has a +.004 / .000 tolerance and the model is drawn at the minimum size. There are cases when the "OD" has a +.005/-.005 tolerance and is modeled at the nominal size. I've learned some of the iLogic to make the change I'm after but not all. I'm having trouble setting ModelValueType to change the model size.
See the code below, for setting +/-.005"

The attached part has some bad work features on it, but I don't care about that (easy fix). It also contains a rule that simply changes the material from "P AND O" (pickles & oiled) to "201 S/S", for some reason the faulty work geometery causes this rule to throw an "unspecified error". If you delete the bad work geometry the rule runs fine.
