View 1 RepliesI am trying to use the Browsernode.addchild method to add an occurence to an empty browser folder. The code fails at this point and I gett an error pointing to the line "Call oTargetNode.AddChild(oSourceNodeDef)". I can add the occurence with the browserpanes.Reorder method without issue if the folder is not empty. The code is pasted Below.

Alpha sort in assembly bonus tool sorts outside browser folder. Is there any method (API) to sort inside browser folder?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an ilogic rule that will look within the folders of an assembly and take the contents of each of those folders and demote them to separate sub-assemblies.
ie. Assembly1 contains NewFolder 1. NewFolder 1 contains Part1:1 and Part2:1. Upon executing the ilogic rule, I would like Assembly1 to contain NewFolder 1 and within NewFolder 1, Assembly1-01. Assembly1-01 contains Part1:1 and Part2:1. I would like this ilogic rule to look within each successive folder within Assembly1 and demote them according to their position in the browser such that NewFolder 1 - at the top of the browser list - contains Assembly-01, NewFolder 2 contains Assembly-02, etc.
I currently copy a master assembly with browser folders that contain parts and sub-assemblies to a secondary assembly where I manually demote the contents of the folders to sub-assemblies. When I create a drawing for our machine assembly department, the demoted sub-assemblies to isolate only those parts - nuts, bolts and the pieces they fit to - so it is easier for the assembly department when putting a machine together.
Is it possible, using ilogic, to demote folder contents to sub-assemblies with an assembly document?

I would like the size of bearing to be included in addition to existing data to the File name, Part number and Browser name like for example the DIN 625 T1 does. I have copied the DIN 625 bearings to the custom library. I have added required info to File Name building and to the Part Number building in the custom library and now my Filename and Part Number are as I like to.
But I cannot find how to force the Browser name to be equal to Part number or File Name? [URL]
I opened the drawing and then from the drawing opened the model. In the drawing it is showing the 4th instance of ROUND CRS-032175 X 33 as an assembly. It also is not showing in the view and yet the visibility is checked. AI2012 SP2

I create an I part and I noticed it creates a folder within my main folder. This introduces a bit of chaos into my folder structure, is there any way around it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen you place a part (let’s say structural steel part) from content center as a custom part and later change the part size, the browser still shows the old part name which makes it very confusing when scanning through the browsers when you're trying to find something. It makes it almost unusable if you can’t trust the description. How do others handle this? I know about browser rename but that won't work because it defaults back when you close and reopen.

Inventor 2010 / I'm finding myself scrolling up and down the browser bar quite a lot to get to the Solid Bodies folder for example, and I was wondering if it was possible to group features into folders or something to make the journey quicker, with the benefit of also being able to just organize things a bit better.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use Inventor 2013 as a single user, my company is about to invest in Vault and we are about to introduce a new automated Part Numbering Scheme as well.
I use a spreadsheet and iLogic rules as ‘Product Configurator’ to generate new iterations of my master assembly.
Now, the Assembly Browser in Inventor may display my assembly tree and its components by Part No or File Name or Default Browser Nod. See attached image.
This can be selected and set on the ribbon: click Assemble tab Productivity panel Rename Browser Nodes.
For example at Top Level Assy I have a rule to run other rules in components. Should I change the displayed components names on the Assy Tree the rules loose reference. So they wouldn’t run.
(for example: iLogicVb.RunRule("PANEL ASSY 2ndS:1", "Tie Rods & Washer Plates 2ndS")
PANEL ASSY 2ndS:1 is a component with a rule in it "Tie Rods & Washer Plates 2ndS"
This is the default Browser Nod Name and it could also be
- AAA-0111 --> Part No
- PANEL ASSY 2ndS.iam:1 --> File name
- PANEL ASSY 2ndS:1 --> Default
I suppose this can be avoided by not changing from Default, but what an inconvenience should we have to.Unless if there is an other way to reference our components in iLogic?
I changed the name of a valve manually in the browser. Now, when I copy the valve to a different part name it does not update the name of the new part in the browser. How do I get the part name in the browser to be dynamic again?

My browser is gone. When toggled, it does not show up. I ushally have two screens, but when i have it on only one screen it disappers completely. My laptop is set to " Laptop display" Only mode. I bring up Inventor, and my browser will not toggle on and off on the screen even though the box is checked, and unchecked.

Is the alpha sort function available trough API ? It's located in Assembly tab, Productivity tools. I'd like to use it in a custom program instead of asking my customer to click on the button.
