Is it possible to suppress an occurrence of a pattern in part environment using iLogic? I saw something for assembly environment, but I can't make it work for part. My iLogic knowledge is quite basic.
I'm trying to use ilogic to suppress some individual elements of a pattern but i couldn't find any command that can target component pattern elements. When i try to capture its current state with the right click menu it does nothing.
I can of course suppress the part within the element but then it doesn't update the BOM.
I have set iLogic to change a rectangular pattern to a certain amount of occurrences depending on which is selected , i.e. 117 cavities, 140 cavities and 96 cavities. Only one is active (or unsuppressed ) at a time.
What I need to do is suppress the 4 corners of each pattern, considering there's only one pattern and is dynamic.
You are using an assembly with many LODs. Each time you place a component in your assembly , that one will be active in all level of Details.For some configurations, you would like one component to be active in only one LOD. Inc.
In order to reflect production process, I have to create holes on the bent pipe at assembly level after 2 bent pipes are welded to the straight pipe. Now when I suppress holes, it does not suppress only at LOD or view rep but throught the whole assembly.
Is it possible to suppress features such as hole using LOD or view rep, which are made at the assembly level? or I have to use another method? See below in highlighted.
I have a rectangular component pattern which started out with all components. As more structure was added around it I started supressing different elements to suit, now a piece of structure has gone thru element 1 but i dont seem to be able to supress it... is there an easy way to get rid of element 1 without having to redefine the pattern? (redefining causes me other problems)
Lets say you have 100 Keps Nuts in an assembly. Named (KepsNut1,KepsNut2, etc)And you want to suppress them on and off.
Would there be a way to make an array 1-100 and just say suppress/unsupress "KepsNut" & array list of numbers.To basically add the two strings and find all the components in that array and turn them off or on.!
I am trying to suppress part that are labeled as "Reference" on the BOM Strutcture and I can't get the program to cycle through the subassemblies. The following code runs through all the components on the top-level assembly but I can't get it to cycle through the subassemblies.
oCompDef = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinitionoAssemblyComponents = oCompDef.OccurrencesDim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrenceDim oSubOccurrence1 As ComponentOccurrenceFor Each oOccurrence In oAssemblyComponents If (oOccurrence.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kReferenceBOMStructure) Then Component.IsActive(oOccurrence.Name) = False Else Component.IsActive(oOccurrence.Name) = True End IfNext
I have a couple of dozen features in my part, of which only one will be active at any time. The feature tree may be subject to additions, so I am looking for an ilogic rule that will first suppress all of the features in the part, and then switch on the specific feature I require (using a parameter). Any code to suppress ALL features?
I need to be able to suppress individual elements of a circular pattern so I can retain the angular orientation while being able to reduce the number of instances. I have found how to suppress the entire circular pattern, but can't seem to get the right terminology to access the elements one at a time.
The code I have to suppress the entire pattern is Feature.InventorFeature("Circular Pattern").Suppressed = True.
In my head assembly I have a subassembly that has derived parts from my skeleton. My skeleton (part ending with skt in the picture) is in the subassembly.
In this subassembly I made a view representation: NoSKT..When this is activated the skeleton is hided (see picture).If I now make a pattern of this subassembly in my head assembly with for example a parameter from my embedded excel or a parameter in inventor "quantity = 2" inventor will add 1 element with the same view representation. Still no problem.
The problem is now when I change the parameter. If I change the quantity to for example 3, the view representation of the third element is gone and the skeleton will become visible.I have many parts like this in my head assembly and quite a lot of patterns. Which means a lot of skeletons become visible. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
I am using Ilogic to control visibility of a subassembly in a subassembly of my main assembly. It works correctly inside of the subassembly just not from the Main Assembly. If I use IsActive instead it works but I can't use this because the dimensions in the associated drawings lose there attachment points using IsActive. I can change my assembly by removing the middle sub assembly but will require writing a lot more code.
Is there a way to edit constraints inside a subassembly from the main assembly, using ilogic?
I would like to supress a constraint (let's call it mate:8), which is inside a subassembly. When I right click on that constraint, and select "Capture Current State", it inserts Constraint.IsActive("Mate:8") into my iLogic code. However, there is already a mate:8 in my main assembly, so how can I be more specific so that iLogic knows which constraint I am talking about?

- I have a top level assembly (lets call it '01.iam', which contains a range of subassemblies (e.g. '02.iam', '03.iam' etc) - The subassemblies have positional representations - I want to be able to manipulate the pos.rep's from the top level using iLogic.
I found this snippet of code on the forum which works when I create the rule in one of the subassemblies.
I have an assembly and using ilogic to control the wide of the machine.The wider machine has some different brackets which I am turning on and off by using "component . IsActive" in ilogic.
I had to make a new level of detail for it to work, and this is all fine except everytime I open this assembly it defaults back to master level of detail, so I always get this error.
How do I control level of detail with ilogic or how am i suppose to turn parts on and off.I have seen some impressive assemblies controlled with ilogic how do they do it.
After changing colors at assembly level only ,below is a rule that changes all parts that have material "Plywood" to poplar works great.
However I want a rule that does the same kind of change but on only temporally at assembly level only then we can change back to default colors by removing color override.
It would be good if we can do the following
Search assembly for .ipt files that have material that contains PlywoodChange to color using temporary override of "Clear - Light" Possibility of searching more materials within same rule ie : "Timber" to be black in color"Pvcu"to be white in color

is it possible to rename the browser node on part level with an iLogic rule? I know that in the assembly environment is an Inventor OOTB functionality to rename the nodes to the filename, Part number or the default value.

I have a pattern of holes (exactly 3) on an object and when the object height changes so does the pattern base on height. My issue is that i need to create a rule or code that ensures that apart from the first hole (which is fixed), the remaining two holes are at a location that is divisible by 6. The reason being that this is a sheet metal part and our punch press has a template for aligning punches at every 6 IN.
We are using iLogic to automate some of our designs and the code is needed to eliminate having to worry if the punches are at the correct location for faster production.
I've noticed that one can turn off the visibility of an entire component pattern by manually right-clicking the pattern in the browser and unchecking "Visibility". However, when one tries to automate this process with the following code, only the first element of the pattern is made invisible.
Is there a better way to do this, or will I be forced to develop a "workaround" like first changing the number of elements to 1?
I've been desperately trying to find a way to "turn off" unneeded assembly components without iAssemblies or LOD's, but Inventor always finds a way to stop me. This workflow of turning off visibility and setting BOM status to "Reference" would work if only I can make patterns invisible, also.
I attached the iLogic code which is automatically creating dwg drawing (script borrowed from one of the discussion group users), also it creates 4 views. I`m just wondering how to add flat pattern ?
