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 →
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....

On a recent training course, a delegate pointed out a nifty setting in Vault, which allows for documents to be previewed without having to click on them twice, I thought I’d share it here 🙂 Let me explain… Several releases ago, if you clicked on any file in Vault, if the preview tab was active,...

The new Autodesk Vault mobile app has a built in Barcode Scanner with is really handy. You may be wondering what exactly you can use it for. I've found that the app works with QR codes and Barcodes. Barcodes are really easy to implement into your workflows, as certain types of barcodes are fonts. In... Continue Reading →
I adapted an API sample to work with iLogic. This utility removes assembly appearance overrides in your assemblies, as shown below. Here's the code: Public Sub RemoveAssemblyOverrides() ' Get the active assembly document. Dim asmDoc As AssemblyDocument Set asmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument ' Iterate through the objects that have an override. Dim obj As ComponentOccurrence For... Continue Reading →
By Jhoel Forshav For this blog post I thought I’d share the code for an iLogic tool I’ve written to easily find the names of control definitions. I’ve seen on the Inventor Customization Forum that users from time to time ask about the these names in order to execute them through the CommandManager (ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions(”ControlDefinitionName”).Execute). So,... Continue Reading →
