Creating engineering drawings can sometimes seem tedious, but drawings are one of the most important parts of any design. In fact, your drawing is the contract with the manufacturer, an agreement that contains all the specifications and key dimensions that your product will be manufactured to. Why not automate workflows, making drawings easier and faster... Continue Reading →
By Bhavik Suthar I have written an iLogic utility to export the flat patterns of all the members of an iPart to DXF. The code automates the process of creating DXF flat patterns, saving the DXF with the instance member name as the file name in the same location as the original iPart. Here is... Continue Reading →
By Dutt Thakar I recently found a question on the Autodesk forums, where a user wanted to export the custom iProperties of all iPart instances to an excel document. I have found two ways to do this this. The first, is to scan the iPart Author table, get the data from it and then copy... Continue Reading →
I have a Vault server on my laptop, I connect to it via a second PC or via the Vault mobile App. I tend to use the IP address as the server name, because it works well with the mobile app. The problem is that my IP address changes each time I reboot the laptop.... Continue Reading →
By Jelte de Jong I wish you all the best for 2021. I hope that we can go back to normal life this year. Today I have a iLogic rule for you that creates an "I" similar to the image above. Nothing that you can’t find anywhere else on the internet. Just some profiles on a... Continue Reading →
By Jelte de Jong I’ve recently seen several questions from people looking to save or export files automatically. Questions like “How to perform 'save a copy as' PDF for a list of Inventor drawings from an excel?” and “Automate iPart flat pattern export to DXF”. That is why I wrote this post, explaining how you can... Continue Reading →
2020 could reasonably be described as an awful year. But there were a few small highlights. This year our site's traffic increased exponentially, we had our first month with over 12 000 views and reached a milestone of 100 000 views in 2020. Considering the content is rather niche (mainly iLogic), I think this is... Continue Reading →
I thought I’d share an update to an old timer that I wrote a few years back, it was designed to show the difference between opening a file saved on a network drive, versus one stored locally. The original idea, being that using Vault will give a user a much better experience when opening large... Continue Reading →
If you've ever written code that needs to open or import another file, you may find this useful. When building product configurators, I like to use XML files as a means of storing all of the parameters for a specific "build" of a product, the benefits are that I don't have to store and manage...

On a recent training course, I was asked if the default display of BoM quantities in the Fusion Lifecycle "Bill of Materials" workspace could be changed. Out of the box, all quantities are displayed with a decimal place, for example 3.0. In this instance the quantities would always be whole numbers, below is the workflow... Continue Reading →
