control Corner Seam

[j.vanderheijden]

I want to control the Corner Seam in the sheet metal styles but it seems not possible to do that.

Now i wondering if this can controled in iLogic.

I want to control the settings which you can make in the Corner Seam.

In the attachment are two drawings white different corners, overlap.

Those i want to control in different sheet metal styles.

Can somebody help me.

Hi,

Inventor API provides the object CornerDefinition to work with Corner feature. There are some properties with CornerDefinition on Corner Seam. Please refer to API help reference. 

iLogic can access Inventor API by the advanced API such as ThisApplication. I have not tried, but I think after you access Inventor API, you could get the Corner feature, next CornerDefinition, and configure the properties of Corner Seam.

I found a way to control it.

I linked a parameter to the Face/edge distance.

That parameter, overlap,  a use in Ilogic.

currentStyle = SheetMetal.GetActiveStyle()

If currentStyle = "Inteco_0.7" Then
   Parameter("overlap") = 0.8 ul
Else If currentStyle = "Kemi" Then
    Parameter("overlap") = 0.0 ul
End If
