iLogic rule - Scanning PartsList Rows

[michael.horsler]

Hi,

I'm attempting to use iLogic to scan through the Partslist in an idw, check a column / field in each row, if say it contains an 'x' I want to hide that row.

However I'm stuck at even creating a partslist collection at the moment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Inventor 2012. 

Many thanks in advance.

Michael.

Hi michael.horsler,

Here are a couple of links to past questions that I think will get you pointed in the right direction:

ilogic generate parts list:

ilogic scan parts list for specific content:

Note too that to hide a row in a parts list you would use something such as:

 oPartList.PartsListRows.Item(i).Visible = False

as in this example:

' Set a reference to the drawing document.
' This assumes a drawing document is active.
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
' Set a reference to the first parts list on the active sheet.
' This assumes that a parts list is on the active sheet.
Dim oPartList As PartsList
oPartList = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.PartsLists.Item(1)
   
' Iterate through the contents of the parts list.
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To oPartList.PartsListRows.Count
'look at only the part number column
oCell  = oPartList.PartsListRows.Item(i).Item("PART NUMBER")
	'find a specific value
	If oCell.Value = "x" Then 
	'hide the row
	oPartList.PartsListRows.Item(i).Visible = False
	End if
Next

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hello everybody!

I have a question about the following rule:

For Each oObject In ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet
    'oObject is one of the first selection.
    'Type after = what to do with name
oObject.Name = oObject.Name+"_F01"
Next

I've wrote this rule to make it easier to name the different workplanes.

The next step i would like to do, is to give it a automatically numbering (++1), from 1 to the last object.

Does somebody know the commands for this in ilogic? 

Let me know, and thank you!

Hi @Anonymous, 

Welcome to the forum. 

Please note that your question is not related to this topic, and therefore would be better posted as an independent topic. 

Please create a new topic on the  Inventor Customization forum and I'm certain someone will provide a solution:
