Hi

How to get part status in ilogic ? ex:relaesed, pending, work in progress

i would like to set up a rule with this iproperty and i can find it, all except this one.

Some people can help me please

thank

Here's code to read that property.  It's a bit tricky, because it gives you a numeric value code instead of a text string.

designState = iProperties.Value("Status", "Design State")
If (designState = 1) Then
  MessageBox.Show("Design State: WorkInProgress", "iLogic")
ElseIf (designState = 2) Then
  MessageBox.Show("Design State: Pending", "iLogic")
ElseIf (designState = 3) Then
  MessageBox.Show("Design State: Released", "iLogic")
End If

Hi

Thanks a lot for your answer

i've another question, It is possible to set the printer with ilogic's print document snippet

if i've not setup the printer in the cad session the snipet take the default MSwindow printer

how to set-up it permanently(from ilogic rule) and keep the default MSwindow printer setup?

Thank

Here's the snippet with a line added to select the printer.  You can find out more about the PrintManager class in the API help, which is available on the Inventor Help menu under

Additional Resources -> Programming Help

oPrintMgr = ThisDoc.Document.PrintManager
oPrintMgr.Printer = "PDFCreator"
oPrintMgr.ColorMode = kPrintGrayScale
'oPrintMgr.ColorMode = kPrintColorPalette
oPrintMgr.NumberOfCopies = 1
oPrintMgr.Orientation = kPortraitOrientation
'oPrintMgr.Orientation = kLandscapeOrientation
oPrintMgr.PaperSize = kPaperSizeCustom
oPrintMgr.PaperHeight = 11
oPrintMgr.PaperWidth = 8.5
oPrintMgr.SubmitPrint
