Global iLogic Event Triggers

Global iLogic Event Triggers

Currently, 2013, iLogic Events are stored in the local file. I would like to have Global Event Triggers that would be configured in the Application Options. For example:

 

  1. Set a Global Event Trigger on all IPT and IAM when used as a New Document
  2. Global Trigger would run an External Rule that opens a Global Form for iProperties

This would work for all templates without having to edit the templates. OR...

  1. Global Event before or after Save
  2. Fires an External Rule to check for required iProperties.
  3. If they are not filled out then a Global Form is launched.

If we had Global EventsThis would work on ALL data that was created before iLogic.

Oh hell yeah! This is what will really get me usign iLogic. Until this feature is added, its more of a toy than a dependable resource IMO.

I want to see an iLogic tab in the App Options and if possible a sub set of options in the Inventor Project file.

Also working with 2014 and can't find it neither. There is the external rules yes, but the triggers remain to adjust in the files/templetes.

Any plans on implementing a global rule trigger system? This would really be helpfull.....

"Accepted idea" only means that AutoDesk has added it to their internal "requested features list", it does not mean that it will or will not ever be implemented with any specific release.

 I see this having options for All Parts, All Sheet Metal Parts, All Assemblies, All Drawings, otherwise uses will have to add checks to the rule to not allow the rule to run on certain types of files.  I also like the suggestion of scottmoyse, that would allow users to make settings dependent on an Inventor Project File.

SOLSON, KUDOS to your Excellent idea. You typically don't want the same rules running on 2D and 3D anyway. Separate Global Triggers should be in the app options for.....

  • Normal Parts
  • Sheet Metal Parts
  • Normal Assemblies
  • Weldment Assemblies
  • Design Accelerator Assemblies (Maybe it's better to have separate options for BOM PHANTOM assemblies?)
  • Factory Design Assemblies
  • Drawings (*.idw, *.dwg)

Am I missing any?

The list you posted seems like a fairly complete list, you even thought of a
few that I didn't think of.



Thanks,

Inventor 2018.1 expanded iLogic’s trigger options to make them more ‘global’ and easily usable across a team with multiple projects. The triggers can be set on:

 

  • New Document
  • Open/Close Document
  • Before/After Save Document
  • Model parameter change (part & assy)
  • Feature suppression change (part only)
  • Material change (parts only)

 

The 'What's New' for 2018.1 includes a blurb with a link to more details: http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-35383566-95AE-4F7A-AEA7-C27CB0ACCE18

 
This Idea was posted in the early days of this forum, and although it's far from having one of the highest vote counts, we see many being able to benefit from it in the future as they invest more in rules based design. We appreciate the patience!
