I wrote 2 iLogic utilities to help users with the creation of mirrored part files, and their accompanying drawings. The first iLogic utility creates a mirrored version of a part file, and saves it with the suffix "_Mirror" (to the same location as the original). It works quite well and handles multi-body solids too.... Continue Reading →
iLogic Security: Are You Safe?
It is really easy to download CAD files from the internet, and it's even easier to copy and paste iLogic code from online forums. For the most part this is generally not an issue, however, there is a chance that malicious code could be embedded in iLogic rules, or in code that automatically launches when... Continue Reading →
IMPROVED: iProperty Tool-Tip with iLogic
A few months back I created an iProperties Tool-Tip for Inventor Assembly files. The tool sets the selection filter to "Part Priority" and then displays a set of iProperties for that part. The original blog post can be found by clicking on the image below: New and improved: I recently found myself working on a... Continue Reading →
Let’s Talk About Forms & iLogic

I’d like to give you some neat tricks I picked up while writing an iLogic Rule. Maybe you can recognise this situation. I wrote a couple of nice iLogic... Continue Reading →

I got a pretty serious looking Microsoft .NET Framework error this weekend when trying to run an external iLogic rule. The strange part was that I got the same error no matter what iLogic rule I tried to run, and the error even popped up if I tried to edit an iLogic rule. After a... Continue Reading →
Auto Drawing FAQ – Additional Explanation

Please note that I put this blog site together... Continue Reading →
Control Drawing View Reps & Style with iLogic
I've written some iLogic code to control the "View Style" and "View Representation" of drawing views. The code gathers all of the views in the drawing and presents them in a list to the user. It then presents a pre-defined set of "View Styles", once it has done this, it then gathers all of the... Continue Reading →
Heads or Tails with iLogic (UPDATED)
A while back I seemed to get obsessed with finding ways to use random number generators, and I created two interesting use cases, one was a coin flipper and the other was the magic 8 ball, I have these tagged on my site under "Toys", which makes them easier to find. The original Coin Toss... Continue Reading →
