How to read View Representation name from part with iLogic ?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I would like that the color of a surface in part is depend of the View name.

To do this I need to suppress a feature that get surface to appear in different color in other views.

I can see that it is possible to set the View:

If Colour = "Red" Then

ocompdef.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations.Item("Red").Activate

But how to know name of the active view in part?

Many thanks for an input.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Using your ocompdef object, you can get the name of the active view rep with the following line:

ocompdef.RepresentationsManager.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.Name

Hope this helps!

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I have now;

…

ViewName = ocompdef.RepresentationsManager.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.Name

If ViewName = "Surface Treatment" Then

    Feature.Color("Extrusion8") = "SFT_Magenta"

…

This works very well if I execute the code in part.

I run now into next question.

How tell Inventor to run the illogic code in part, if I change view representation  in the assembly that containing the part with the code?

The part’s view representation is controlled by the assembly view representation.
