Hello

I made skeleton of my vessel in ipt file which contain : shell, elliptical ends and a number of nozzles. It's controlled by parameters and forms (not yet)  in ipt file.
Then i created components -  send all parts to assembly file, and now in assembly file i'd like to add etc. flanges to all nozzles. I changed Level of Detail, and suppressed few of them, everything seems to work OK - suppressed parts in BOM was changed automatically by Inventor to REFERENCE.

It's too complicated to do all flanges in skeleton file.

The problem is when i want to UNSUPPRESS using ilogic off course, Inventor does not change reference state to normal state, so i have to do it manually.It has to be changed to normal state, because i can't see it in the drawing (dwg file)

Is there any way to do it automatically using iLogic or VB?

Best,

Marcin

I have not read all the posts in this thread, but let me comment on your last entry. Regarding "reference" and "normal" BOM  status

If you have a assembly with a custom Level of detail (i always name mine ilogic) and suppress/unsuppress sub-components within the assembly using ilogic rules (Component.Active) then Inventor will automatically update the BOM status

Thank's a lot !

I suppressed using iLogic rule, but unsuppressed manually... :/

I've got crytical error when running iLoigic rule in Part7.iam (Rule0), I want to change parameter in Part7.ipt from assembly file.  (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Any idea???

Should make no difference Inventor will still handle the BOM status automatically

[#6]

what Inventor version?

can you post the rule code which gives the error

[#7]

Inventor 2013 sp 1.1 64bit

Parameter("Solid1_1:1", "aaa") = 100

Error in rule: Rule0, in document: Part7.iam

Katastrofalny błąd. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

When the ilogic error interface opens, click on the details tab, and post the message here

[#10]

the problem lies here

Parameter("Solid1_1:1", "aaa") = 100

you say in a previous post that you want to change a parameter in part7.ipt

to do this the code needs to read

Parameter("part7", "aaa") = 100
