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 →

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....
