Is there Any code out there that will allow user to select part file then isolate and create view rep of that part with name of view rep the same as part.
The reason is we have lots of reps that isolate various components and this is very time consuming, I have had a look if there is Any customization because this would be a good user tool,also could work very well on assembly.
Is it possible to have iLogic rule create parts lists out of View Representations? [URL] .......

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get the "view type" of a view using iLogic? for example;
-detail view
-section view
-exploded view
Or any way to differentiate between the types of views? I'm trying to write a rule that renames all detail and section views in a drawing in Alphabetical order. A,B,C,D..
ILogic code ,I have had some code done to isolate selected parts in a assembly file that has a specific custom property filled in i.e. : DESC2.It then creates view reps and locks down giving the rep name the same name as part.
What I am after is some code that will place these isolated view reps as views on my dwg that the assembly resides in.With the functionality of picking face to show plan view of parts.
I have been looking around but have not been able to find examples of how (If I can) set the model views via iLogic.
What I am trying to do is to have the view change from "Master" to the view I have created for each part, so when I go to create drawing all I have to select the right view and the part changes to match view.

it is a local rule in an idw file that has been saved with an ipt file of the same name saved in the same directory. Now I get the most useless error message ever devised by manking

I am using a number of sketches in a skeleton to control multiple solutions.
I am using case statements that apply values to my variables and create my solutions which is working fine however,
for clarity of what is being used in a given solution I want to turn on/off the sketches in my code. I have created a set of model views that when active properly turn off the visibability of the appropreate sketch.
While model view is among the things that can be selected for use in the code, so far as I can tell, I can not find a function that will allow me to set a view true so that it activates the view and my sketches turn off.
Like the title says I am looking to place views (and dimensions) on drawings using ilogic. I am new to both inventor and ilogic, most of my training came in SolidWorks. It needs to pull the part from an ipart that pulls the information from an excel file.

Is there code for changing the color (or other properties) of the visible edges of a component in a drawing view, the same way I can do it manually by right-clicking a component and choosing Properties?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a iLogic question about finding out if a View exits..
Lets say I have a drawing that I want to read the scale of a view.. All the snippets I have found is pointing to the name of the view like "VIEW1". But if I have deleted the first view I created it will give me an error..
So, is there ant possibility to check if the "VIEW1" exits without getting an error?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rewrite Curtis Waguespack's ilogic code to modify drawing view labels from this post http: [URL]...
The completed label should appear like this
<Description> - Mk <Part Number>
Est Unit Mass = X kg
(Scale 1:1)
At this point I have 2 problems
1. I want to add the physical mass to the second line and would prefer to use the calculated physcial property rather than the a custom iproperty. If editing the view label, it would the property access under physcial properties.
2. I want to rewrite the code so it is selective or per view - in otherwords, I only want it to modify a single view I select once the code is run. At this point I know I need to remove the For loop but I dont have a clue as to how to make it selective.

what i am trying to do is create an iLogic rule that if your drawing view scale is set to the following ...
1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:12, 1:!6, 1:24, 1:32, 1:48, etc. on the view label for that view it will diplay ...
SCALE: 1/2" = 1'-0"
and so on for the rest for the standard scale factors.
i know it will be some sort of a loop and it needs to check all views when ran for any changes.

View 5 Replies View Relatedis there any way using iLogic or other method to automatically control the size of the 'break' in a drawing view? I have built a model which uses iLogic to control virtually everything, however the large variations in the length of the product mean that there are some interesting results when it comes to the broken drawing views updating.
it would be nice to locate the break at the absolute center of the view and then size it as a percentage of the view size along one axis or perhaps according to some other length based rule.

I have received a great solution from Bobvdd allowing ilogic control of the view rep in a part file (not an assembly file). The code below works brilliantly when the part file is the active document. However when the part is placed in an assembly and the ilogic is run with the assembly active, the code produces no result. How to modify the top 6 lines of code?

However I am trying to achieve the same with iLogic in a part file (multi-solid).
I am trying to piece together some code for an ilogic rule. This rule should look for a drawing view that is a flat pattern, if it finds one it should change the object layer to our "CNC" layer.

View 1 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.
