How to exclude iLogic Rules when using Pack n' Go

[ApostolosJK]

Is there a possible way of doing this except for example saving everything as a copy, delete the rules of the copies and then use pack n go on them?

Sorry for the late response to this but I am too now in the situation that I need to send a fairly large assembly to someone and want to exclude the iLogic, partially as the iLogic is proprietary but mostly because it causes grief on the other end as they are constantly prompted to locate the iLogic

Vault's Pack-and-go nor Copy Design help either, thought maybe I could Copy Design it and then Pack and Go

I shouldn't have been so quick to post... take a look at this article from Paul Munford: http://www.cadsetterout.com/inventor-tutorials/the-secrets-of-copying-assembly-files/#ilogic-design-.... The solution is to use Inventor's iLogic Design Copy tool which has an option to strip the iLogic Rules on Copy

Thank you very much for the reply. I suppose your proposal should work, but unfortunately the feature needed is not presant in my version of Inventor (2015) Maybe it's only available in proffessional edition?

Close all files:

It is not a Professional only feature, but there are a couple things to check...

#1 the tool only appears on the Tools tab IF not files are open. So make sure you don't have any files open

#2 check that the ilogic addin is loaded. Tools > Add-ins and make "iLogic" both Loaded and Load Automatically

If it still doesn't appear you may need to reinstall your software
