Inventor 2012-ILogic-Sketch visibility

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can somebody provide me with iLogic code to turn the visibility of a sketch inside a subassembly on/off from the main assembly.

Thanks in advance!

View / Visibility / Object Visibility should toggle them off

I know that. I was asking for iLogic code to do it from main assembly for a sketch in a sub-assembly.

More specifics needed,  do you want to cycle through your parts and turn off a sketch with a particular name in all of your parts?

T.S.

Yes, I have a sketch name "Sketch_TC" in all of my sub-assemblies. I want to control the visibility of this sketch from the main assembly. This main assembly is used to do certain combinations of all of my sub-assemblies. Let me know if you need further details.

Thanks for your time!

A little more info, to get your code as efficient as possible.

You stated that the sketch's are in your sub-assemblies.

Are there any sketches in parts?  or just in assemblies?  This can reduce the objects we have to loop through.

Do you need the sketch controlled for each occurance?

We can cylce through each unique sub assy refrenced by the main assembly, or we can cycle each and every occurance of the sub assy's.

Here ya go.

This will turn off any sketch named Sketch_TC in any part or sub assy that exists in your main assy.

That's a clever bit of code there. I never thought to have a sub call itself before.

Thank's

It's hard to find a clear and simple routine for cycling through parts and components.

I was thinking of posting a few simple cycle loops for everyone to use. (they keep being requested, or at least needed in most of the iLogic requests) as most of the actions people want to preform with iLogic, are usually run on multiple objects.

I was dissapointed to find, or I should say "not find" resources for this in the help file, just bits and pieces.

I have one for cycling all component occurances in an assy. (attached in this thread)

I have one for cycling through all items in a bom.

I have one for cycling all documents refrenced by an assy.

I have one to cycle all files in a system directory.

Armed with the four,  you can pretty much run iLogic on anything you want, just add in the action to preform.

And I can't take all the credit, I found the basis for that code somewhere, took a while to dig up.

T.S.

PS:  If you have an empty assy it may think its a part.  So really you should have a proper routine to check if its a true part or asssy.  This just psudo checks based on existence of sub occourances.
