By Dutt Thakar I have written a handy iLogic utility to check if any dimensions on a drawing are overridden. It scans all of the dimensions on the sheet and checks whether they are overridden or not. If any dimensions are overridden, it will highlight them in red and then show the user that how … More iLogic: Show Overridden Dimensions
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 … More iLogic – Occurrence Selection Filter In Drawings
By Michael Jones Overview We will be adding transverse hole spacing to the top and bottom flange of the content center wide flange family. We will be extracting the transverse hole spacing data from the 15th edition of the AISC Excel workbook. In structural steel detailing, gage is shorthand for the transverse hole spacing. Using … More Adding a Column to Content Center Steel Families
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?

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 … More iLogic: Unexpected Results
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”. … More iLogic: Rotating Section Views – Guest Post

By default, Inventor does not include ASME standard clearances in the hole command, and I needed to use them for my project. A little internet sleuthing showed me a way to add data to the hole command dialog, and … More Setting Up ASME Standard Hole Clearances
Guest Post by Jelte de Jong At the company that I work for, we make products that are almost entirely composed of sheet metal parts. We cut and bend our products ourselves, we export our flat patterns out, to be used in our CAM software. When preparing flat patterns for export, I sometimes get confused, as … More iLogic: Show Flat Pattern Orientation
