iLogic - create Workplane and Workpoint

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 09:41:00 GMT

Hello,

I need to create iLogic rule to create new Workplane with specific name, offset by 0 mm from selected face or from origin plane and then create Workpoint on intersection of 3 selected planes/faces, also with specific name.

I need to use it for some measurements from center of gravity.

Thank you.

Hi, With this rule you can create a work point by selecting 3 planes or three flat faces.

oDef = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition

Dim face1 As Object 
face1 = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAllPlanarEntities, "Select Face")
Dim face2 As Object 
face2 = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAllPlanarEntities, "Select Face")
Dim face3 As Object 
face3 = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAllPlanarEntities, "Select Face")


Dim oWPoint As WorkPoint
oWPoint = oDef.WorkPoints.AddByThreePlanes(face1 , face2 , face3) 
oWPoint.Name = "My_New_Work_Point"

With this rule you can create a work plane parallel to another plane or face at a certain distance.

oDef = ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition
Distance= 2' Units in mm
Dim face As Object 
face = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAllPlanarEntities, "Select Face")

Dim oWPlane As WorkPlane
oWPlane = oDef.WorkPlanes.AddByPlaneAndOffset(face, Distance/10) 
oWPlane.Name = "New_Work_Plane"

If this answer has served you please mark it as an accepted solution. Thank you . regards

Hi, thank you for your answer.

Your rules are working in Part, but not in my Assesembly. I need to use it in Assembly.

Hi, thank you, me too, i don't create in asssembly, help me 😅

'GET FOR ASSEMBLY
Dim oAsmDoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oAsmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition = oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition

oPoint = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kPartVertexFilter, "CHỌN POINT_1")
'Dim POINT_1 As WorkPoint = oAsmDef.WorkPoints.AddByPoint(oPoint)
Dim POINT_1 As WorkPoint = oAsmDef.WorkPoints.AddByPoint(oPoint)
POINT_1.Name = "POINT_1"
