    <description>&lt;P&gt;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;are you able to create your add in setup yourselves with visual studio.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this makes it a little easier for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;because i can post my add in of ourse but i don't&amp;nbsp; have all your settings available here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;that makes it a little complicated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;let me know if this is possible for you&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have this issue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have created lots of external iLogic rules and when I manually run &lt;STRONG&gt;any&lt;/STRONG&gt; of these rules in &lt;STRONG&gt;any&lt;/STRONG&gt; open document they all work fine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To make things easier I created a global form, with which I can press a button and fire the corresponding iLogic rule.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This works well for &lt;STRONG&gt;all&lt;/STRONG&gt; rules in a newly opened drawing, but when I move to another already open drawing certain rules don't work. If I close the form and reopen the form in that already open drawing all the rules work again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have the event trigger on "open drawing" to fire a rule which loads the form, so if I only open one drawing at a time I have no problems...less than ideal.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All my code is pretty robust, with "thisapplication.activedocument" and "&amp;nbsp;oDoc.ActiveSheet" etc to look only at the current document&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any suggestions?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Using Inv2018.3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;64 bit&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As far as I know, this is not possible. It has been mentioned a few times in the past already.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What I have done, is place a Field showing the active file relating to the displayed form. At least I can see at a glance if the loaded form is or is not current.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(The example is a drawing form, but I have the same for the Modeling environment.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="active file.JPG" style="width: 632px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/493467i96F30407BA149908/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="active file.JPG" alt="active file.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have seen the other posts around lamenting the lack of "globalform.close". This would be&amp;nbsp;a possible&amp;nbsp;way to solve my issue. I could insert the close form code at the start of any of my rules and then "globalform.show" and then run the rest of the rule.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The form rules that seem to work between active drawing are the ones that do something to the idw, although not all of them. The ones that don't work between active drawings are the ones that are doing something to the model reference.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is Inventor holding the first active drawing model reference in the ilogic form memory? and if it is can you code it to clear memory and then reload the model reference of the active file?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I might try the same process with a vba form and see if that solves it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The part number in the form certainly helps, and you can see which file it is stuck on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Try to use &lt;STRONG&gt;ThisDoc.Document&lt;/STRONG&gt; instead of &lt;STRONG&gt;ThisApplication.ActiveDocument&lt;/STRONG&gt; to get active document (Drawing Document). This might help in your situation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks and regards,&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Chandra,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have used the "thisdoc.document"&amp;nbsp; and it still fails in the form. I have added the iProperties "Part Number" to the form as was suggested, and I can see that it doesn't change when going between active documents, it only displays the part number of the drawing the form was opened in.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If i run the iLogic external rules by clicking on them and hitting run rule in any active document the rule always works. The problem still appears to be that the form does not refresh its memory between active documents when it comes to referenced model documents, and creating pdf's calling the pdf addin.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For now I can keep closing and opening the form between active documents.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Jim&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>You need to pass the document to your form. But that is not easy in I logic. I prefer to use VBA or better .net. then these issues are solved easily. Like the issue here and modal and modeless forms and all the other benefits. Secondary: believe me it will become easier for you......</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Branden can you make a simple rule VB.Net to run as a straight&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;VBA code&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;to use like a reload button for the global form?????&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am a newbie progammer in Inventor. I use rules and ilogic. I have done some programing in excel via Vb.net. Just now i am reading about inventor addinns. I see it is a powerful tool, so i would prefer the steps if possible......&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Of the subject, I have learned ilogic programing a lot in the past few yeary. It was time consuming so I must say i am a little scared about learning inventor add-inn programing. Any thoghts and recomadations to share for a newbie?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Don't hesitate to ask questions!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After all you will see that it was not that hard to learn. And you will have more possibilities that are much easier than with ilogic. You will also see the benefits afterwards.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You need a specific add-in setup to make this code work?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;yes, with the API from inventor there is also a template delivered and installed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this add in is to create your actual add in and is needed for this coding I posted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;because I am running inventor 2019 this will not work for you if you don't use the same version.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;if the add in configuration is complete, this add in doesn't do anything, because there is no actual code in it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;at this moment it starts for you as programmer to add your specific codes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;so actually the inventor add in setup doesn't do anything till you add your buttons and codes and modules etc. etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;you understand now?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
