Guest Post by Jhoel Forshav When developing iLogic rules, it’s quite common that you’ll need to prompt the user to pick something from the model window. For example, it could be a face, a component occurrence, a model edge etc. For most of the different types of selections your code might require, there’s a corresponding... Continue Reading →
iLogic: Setting Extra Layers In DXF Exports
Guest Post by Jelte de Jong Have you ever wanted assign specific profiles in your flat pattern to a custom layer before exporting them to DXF? Click me for HD version I have been working on updating an Inventor add-on which we use at work. The tool exports sheet metal flat patterns to our CAM software.... Continue Reading →
iLogic: Export All Flat Patterns To One DXF
Guest Post by Jhoel Forshav Since this is my first guest blog post on the Unofficial Inventor blog, I’d like to thank Clint Brown for inviting me to do this. Those of you who visit the Inventor Customization Forum from time to time may have seen my name before, as I’m a very active in... Continue Reading →
iLogic Properties Tool-Tip #3
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 →
iLogic: Unexpected Results
Guest Post by Jelte de Jong If you have read any of my blogs post before, you'll know that I like to challenge myself to solve other Inventor user's problems. I usually find these problems on the Inventor Customization Forum. A while back, I came across an interesting problem. This user wanted to change the iProperties... Continue Reading →
iLogic: Rotating Section Views – Guest Post
By Dutt Thakar I've written 2 iLogic utilities that I hope you will find useful. The first one rotates a section line at a specified angle. To get it to work, you simply need to edit your section sketch, then add in an angled dimension. In my example this dimension is controlled by parameter "d0".... Continue Reading →
iLogic Normalise Browser Nodes – With Code
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 →
iLogic: Get & Set User Parameters
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 →
iLogic: Toggle Mate & Joint Suppression
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 →
Export Formatted Parts List with iLogic
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 →
