I've written an iLogic rule that gathers the names of all of the internal rules in a file, and then shows them on an input list box. The user can run any rule on the list by clicking on the rule in the list. This could be quite useful for users, as it could pop... Continue Reading →
This is more of a quick tip than a blog post, but it's certainly worth sharing, as it may save you some time. Have you ever wanted to open the location of the file you are working on? I was about to publish this blog post, when I got an email from my regular guest... Continue Reading →
Guest Post by M Veldkamp Here’s a solution to a problem that isn’t really a problem. You want to take screenshots of your model for a presentation, but your inventor background is a blue gradient. You can of course go through the hassle of changing your settings manually but why bother if you can do... Continue Reading →
This blog post a bit of a throwback to a few years ago, it's based on a very old unit converter that was hosted on Autodesk's website. The idea of this blog post, is an iLogic rule to fire up the unit converter inside of Inventor, as shown in the animation below. To make this... Continue Reading →
Back in 2015, I wrote a blog post detailing some best practice around calculating assembly surface areas for paint or coatings, sadly this post has disappeared from the interwebs, but I did include a reference to it in my AU London class "Need for Speed: 102 Productivity Hacks for Inventor" The Area iProperty of an...

If you have been looking to automate the export of BoM's from Inventor to Excel, or CSV, you've come to the right place. I've adapted the Inventor API sample to work with iLogic, and added a few tweaks to give the user some input around the export. When the iLogic code is run, it checks... Continue Reading →
Guest Post by M Veldkamp Last time I talked about iLogic and Forms. This time I want to discuss errors and error handling. Like I’ve mentioned before, I made a rule that grew and grew and grew. Right now it’s over 1900 lines and it’s getting hard to track which user makes which errors sometimes. It... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wanted to export all work points in a part file out to CSV or TXT file? Well look no further! This is some pretty old code that I have had kicking about for some years, the reason I had not released it until now, is that it contained a small bug,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
