Have you ever wanted to clear all of the face appearance overrides in a part model? Below is some iLogic code that resets all of the faces an Inventor part model. Here is an animation showing the code at work: Below is the iLogic code: 'Original Code by @ClintBrown3D posted at https://clintbrown.co.uk/ilogic-reset-faces On Error... Continue Reading →

Keep Bolted Connections Updated with iLogic
Bolted Connections created in Inventor can become out of date when changes to a part in an assembly happen (for example a material thickness change). I've adapted a bit of iLogic code shared on a forum by Rossano Praderi. My version of the code iterates through the assembly, identifies bolted connections, and sets them to... Continue Reading →

Detecting Interference with iLogic
Inventor has a decent set of tools available for checking component interference, but what about running an interference check on the entire model with one click? I have adapted one of the Inventor API samples to work with iLogic, the code iterates through an assembly and highlights the interfering parts. The animated GIF below shows... Continue Reading →
Inventor Title Block Updates with iLogic
I've written a bit of iLogic code for a rather niche problem in Autodesk Inventor, but it is something that you may come up against at some stage, or something I may need to refer back to in the future! When Inventor drawings are copied, particularly during a "File > Save As > Save Copy... Continue Reading →
