Is there a way to creat a prompt box in an .ipt?

I am trying to come up with an easy way to input information for basic objects that we need for sales drawings. Is there a way to create a prompt(length, width, Diameter etc.) so when you open the .ipt it pops up? Anything a little more organized than the parameters box? I've done an excel sheet in the past for certain things, but didn't want to carry and excel sheet over for this option.

 

Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Something like this?

I designed this using iLogic.

If you like it, I will post the code.

GDay All,

 

Reg, I wouldn't mind having a copy of that code if you wouldn't mind, it would save me some time and hair pulling I'm sure.

 

Cheers.

Regards

Hi

 

I have quickly created a word document with all the rules in it. If you find issues, please do not hesitate to make changes and share them.

 

The Sort BOM only works 99%, so if you can fix it, I will be forever grateful.

 

I can vouch that the Word doc is virus free, but please scan using your own AV scanner as well.

Thanks, thats excellent. I haven't messed much with Ilogic/Iparts yet but it looks like I am missing out. Thanks again!

Just pointing out a typo...It's Fastener not Fastner

 

Cool use of ilogic though.. I like it and might use it too if you don't mind

Thanks, spelling has never been one of my strong points, Dyslexia shows it's head every now and again.

 

You are all welcome to use the code, it took me about 2 months to write it all, and there are a few places where they need a bit of attention, but I am flat out at the moment, so the next time I will only be able to look at them is probably Dec/Jan.
