AutoCAD Inventor :: Pass Variable From VBA To ILogic Rule?

Sep 20, 2011

We are using Inventor 2011.

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.

' ----------------------------------------

' --- VBA Project Form Code ---

' ----------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
End Sub

' -------------------------------------------

' --- VBA Project Module Code ---

' -------------------------------------------
Option Explicit
Public Sub SetPic(ByRef bBuffer() As Byte)
Set UserForm1.Pic.Picture = PictureFromRes(bBuffer)
End Sub

[Code]....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Environment Variable To Run External ILogic Rule

Sep 17, 2012

I tried to read an environment with iLogic and to combine it with an external rule name and to pass the whole path over to iLogicVB.RunExternalRule.

StrPath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ILOGIC_DIR")ilogic_rule = "IPT__01_New_Document_EXT.iLogicVb"rule = StrPath & ilogic_rule'MessageBox.Show(rule, "iLogic Rule to execute")iLogicVb.RunExternalRule(rule)

The message box shows the correct path, but I allways receive a error massage:

'GetEnvironmentVariable' is not a member of 'Inventor.Environment'

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic / Run Assembly-level Rule From Component Rule?

Aug 2, 2013

I 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)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Run Ilogic Rule In Each Part From The Assembly Via External Rule

Dec 6, 2011

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Design - Why Work With Local Rule But Errors On External Rule

Dec 9, 2011

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pass Parameter To DLL Using ILogic

Mar 26, 2013

I have built a vb interface using a tutorial from AU. Now I would like to do the same without the interface.

Inventor uses ilogic to pass parameters to the dll - the dll does the number crunching & returns values to Inventor - no interface required.

The tutorial uses an OK button to fire values back & forth - how can I do this without a button? I would like this to fire in the background without a form appearing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create A Rule In ILogic

Apr 18, 2012

I 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 can not find any documentation for iLogic/VBA.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Trigger An ILogic Rule

Jun 26, 2012

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding ILogic Rule Using API

Oct 5, 2011

I've caught glimpses of how to do this (For instance, this plugin (Inventor LinkParameters)  [URL]...... when trying to actually find information on any documentation of how to get from point A to point B. I can't seem to find anything about ilogic automation / rule creation / ilogic in general, in the object browser at all. 

I know code like this exists

Option ExplicitSub RuniLogicRule()Dim iLogicAuto As ObjectSet iLogicAuto = GetiLogicAddin(ThisApplication)If (iLogicAuto Is Nothing) Then Exit SubDim doc As DocumentSet doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim ruleName As StringruleName = "Rule0"Dim rule As ObjectSet rule = iLogicAuto.GetRule(doc, "Rule0")If (rule Is Nothing) Then Call MsgBox("No rule named " & ruleName & " was found in the [code].......
 
(and even fixed the error it gave me due to the original code leaving something out) , but any info on the GetRule method is.

Is there any way to create a rule to create a substitute on my weldment files?

what I need is something like:

AutoCAD Inventor :: Driving ILogic Rule Into A Part

Jun 17, 2013

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Apply ILogic Rule To Several Files

May 26, 2010

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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule To Set Colour With RGB Values?

Jan 6, 2011

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!.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule Stopped Working?

Aug 12, 2013

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Run Old ILogic Rule For Export To DWG

Jan 2, 2012

I have been using a simple rule to export IDW drawings to ACAD 2000 DWG format using Inventor 2011. I upgraded to Inventor 2012 Pro past weekend and am having problems running Ilogic Rules.

Running the rules on Inventor 2012 Pro either manually or using Triggers errors out. The same rule run using Inventor 2011 works ok. The code I have is direclty from the My Snippet> Export DXF from IDW. All occurences of "DXF" were replaced with "DWG".  Here is the complete

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Rule Driven Assembly

Apr 23, 2013

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")
