I'm attempting to do a simple calc in the iLogic code I'm putting together.
The correct answer for the equation is 155 N But the iLogic code is returning 0.000155 N
Is there a way to invoke the iLogic Rule Editor and pass it an existing rule name or external rule for editing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a way to run a rule which is saved in my top-level assembly using iLogic rule which is saved in a part file in the parent assembly.
I have even tried using an external rule in a txt file, but that gives the error "Component: This function can only be used in an assembly." - which makes no sense to me. I hope I am just missing something simple. I cant believe with all its other strengths, that iLogic would be so limited in that regard. Why is there not simply a snippet under the 'Run Other' that allows you to specify an assembly file and the rule name? (like there is for running a rule in a component from the assembly)
I want to simply set a custom iproperty as the Description in each part file within my assembly. I can do this easily at part level with ilogic but I want to be able to run the rule from the assembly level and all the parts run the rule. I am struggling to find a way to do this.
I think this may be the best method I have found but I think it must be far easier?

I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.
The more info tab says:
System.ArgumentException: iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

I want to create an i part which derives its length and width from pairs of snapped points in the assembly. These can be any two points not necessarily existing properties of any part.
My new part would then calculate its actual dims from these measurements. Can this be done in ilogic and how?
I have this code demo for a quiz that I downloaded from a old question answered by redesign. I was wondering how I would add a flase anaswer option. Is it just a case of adding another button?

how can I close an iLogic Form from either an iLogic Rule, or a VBA Rule (VBA is the Preferred method)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to create a rule that will warn the user when the plate thickness they are using is not standard. I have already created a multivalue parameter for plate thickness, which lists all standard steel plate thickness's and also allows for custom values.
I was hoping I could create a rule that would prompt a dialogue box warning when the user creates a custom value for plate thickness.
I know this can be done, but like I said, Im bloody useless with iLogic and find it hard to come across relevent examples and/or tutorials online.
I'm currently using this rule for easy PDF making

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have an iLogic rule in serveral files. Now this rule has to be deleted. This should be done with VBA. I can not find any function to delete a rule using VBA.
I found a function iLogicAuto.RunRuleDirect(rule), but not iLogicAuto.DeleteRule(rule) ...
I can not find any documentation for iLogic/VBA.
I have an iPart which includes iLogic Rule. When I change iPart by table, iLogic Rules are not triggered.
In iLogic Utilities, there is a button "Rules Triggered by Events", If I use "Any Model Parameter Change", the update need long time, looks like Inventor is "No Response". I like the way "Material Change", but I need "part Number" change to trigger the rules. How can I do it? I tried other events as After Open, Before Save, etc, they are does not work.
I have a rule setup for drawings. I need the rule to first determine if the there is a flat pattern view present. In other words, if there is no flat patter view, I want to the rule to stop.

Is there any way to create a rule to create a substitute on my weldment files?
what I need is something like:
If this document file type is weldment then create shrinkwrap substitute, go to the file (substitute) read the custom iproperty "area" and write to this document custom iproperty "area for sand-blasting" activate LOD Master then delete substitute LOD.
The propose is for purchase department to know the area of the assembly (only the area of visible surfaces).
Is there any command/option to add a keyboard shortcut for ilogic rule?

I would like to make an External Rule that would make an iLogic Internal Rule (with the same code every time). I guess what I really need is a way to drive an Ilogic rule into every part that does not have the rule in the part already.
I know what you’re thinking and just using the External Rule doesn’t work for what I want to do. I need it to be an iLogic Internal Rule.
I have an iLogic rule that I want to add to several files that are already existing. Is there an "easy" way to do this other than opening each and every file, creating a new rule, pasting in the code and then saving the file? If I had a macro that would create the rule I could run it with KwikBatch.

Is there a way to set the colour of a part using the RGB value? (or perhaps the hexdecimal value?)I know I can set colours in iLogic by specifying an existing colour (ex... iProperties.PartColor = "Green")
I want to avoid adding the colour to Inventor as a custom colour, then referencing it in iLogic... The goal is, if a user specifies the finish on this part to be this colour, it will always be that RGB value (our standard in-house paint colour). I don't want to add it to the Inventor 'colors' design data... when we upgrade to the next version of Inventor, it's one more item we have to remember to carry over!.
I got this error popping up every time I open an iLogic edit rule and all my snippets are gone. Now it has started doing it on a different computer in our office. The error dialog box is in the image below. T

I have found a rouind about way to display document thumbnails in VBA in 64 bit windows 7 inventor.
The only piece of the puzzle I am missing is for a way to push a document object or a document file name into an iLogic Rule from VBA.
Below is a 64 bit thumbnail solution for VBA sans the input.
Essentially I am launching an iLogic Rule from VBA that pushes an inventor document object into a VB.NET dll.
The dll converts the iPictureDisp into a VB.NET image object, reduces the size then converts it into a byte array.
The byte array is passed back to VBA through the same iLogic Rule.
Once the byte array is received it is converted back into an iPictureDisp object.

I have a rule in iLogic that I was testing as "Straight VB.Net" on various assemblies. It was working alright, but I was making some minor tweaks to eliminate errors. Now, all of a sudden, it is unresponsive. Completely. No errors, no "busy" symbol over my pointer, just nothing. I put in the line MsgBox("Begin") as the first line of the program to see if it was even getting into it, and still there is no response. I run the rule, and absolutely nothing happens. I tried writing it in iLogic instead, and that does make something happen. what might cause the VB.Net element of iLogic to stop working, and hopefully how to correct the problem as well?

'Writes values to iProperty
iProperties.Value("Project", "Cost Center")=Product_Code
The setup is: I have a rule which first gets a number of user parameters via input boxes.This rule then runs a number of other rules, using:
iLogicVb.RunRule("Rule 1")iLogicVb.RunRule("Rule 2")iLogicVb.RunRule("Rule 3").Each of these rules control parameters, part/feature/constraint suppression etc. in the top level and subassemblies/parts based on the previously obtained user parameters.
All the rules have the 'Don't run automatically' option selected, so all should only run as intended when I manually run the first rule.When I run the first rule, I enter all the parameters, and the subsequent rules run.The problem is, the suppression states etc. in the subassemblies/parts do not update.
Looking at the parameters dialog box after the rules have run, all user parameters have updated with the new values.If I run the first rule again the subassemblies/parts update correctly.
It appears that the rules that control the suppression states etc. of the subassemblies run using the initial values of the user parameters, i.e. the values as they were before the user input is obtained, rather than the new values.This is confusing me, as the code is structured as follows:
user_parameter_1 = InputBox("User Parameter 1", "Input", "xx")user_parameter_2 = InputBox("User Parameter 2", "Input", "xx")iLogicVb.RunRule("Rule 1")iLogicVb.RunRule("Rule 2")
