Long time friend of the site, Jhoel Forshav has just released his first add-in for Inventor. It creates projected, adaptive holes for components in Inventor assemblies. This means that when the model changes, the holes dynamically update. Check out the link to the FREE app below. https://apps.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/EN/Detail/Index?id=4944556035855697945&appLang=en&os=Win64 https://youtu.be/q0uChGvcIrs
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 →
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...

I'm extremely excited to talk about a new FREE app that allows you to add iLogic rules to your ribbon in Inventor. The app is called "Button Constructor" and has been built by a regular contributor to this site, Jelte de Jong. Simply put, you can add your EXTERNAL iLogic rules to your ribbon in Inventor....
