This week's post is a variation on a theme, hence the name. I've previously written about "Tool-Tips" with iLogic in Inventor (see posts below). The common theme is that the tool-tip will show iProperties for a part in the assembly (using a section filter). This version shows these properties at the tool-tip, as well as... Continue Reading →

If you've ever copied an Inventor assembly using Vault, or other methods, you may have noticed that your iLogic code no longer works as expected. This is most likely because the file names of the component instances have changed in the browser. In the image below, I have a small assembly (left), it has been... Continue Reading →

I saw a forum post in the Inventor Customisation forum and I thought I should share some iLogic code that I use for the getting and setting user parameters. It's pretty simple, but really effective. The code adds all user parameters to an Array, which it then presents to the user in the form of... Continue Reading →

I needed a quick way to suppress and unsuppress mates and joints, or constraints and joints in assembly files, so I wrote a quick utility to do just that. Below is an animated GIF showing the code in action: The iLogic code checks that it is in an assembly file, then presents the user with... Continue Reading →

I was asked if it was possible to format the BoM export from Inventor's assembly environment, similar to the way that parts lists are formatted in drawings. I wrote some code to do this, below is an animated GIF showing the code in action: Click me for High Res version My solution was to build... Continue Reading →

I've been doing a bit of work on an iLogic configurator and I thought it would be useful to share some code that I have been using for quite some time. Often when creating configured products, the dimensions on the sheet move, and need some tidying up. This iLogic utility centres all of the dimensions... Continue Reading →

I was recently asked if it is possible to set the precision of the dimensions in a drawing, using iLogic. I did a quick search through the Inventor API and found that there was a sample that provided this functionality. With that in mind, I tidied up the example, and added an array with an...

I realise that I don't often explain how specific iLogic code works, so I thought I'd offer a bit more of an explanation in this post. I've written a simple iLogic rule that opens the drawing of a model in Inventor. This iLogic utility uses a nested "Try, Catch, End Try" statement. If you are... Continue Reading →
