Using iLogic to change model tolerance

Groentje — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:08:37 GMT

Hello, i'am trying to change a tolerance in the model (ipt) by using Ilogic.

When i use:

then the value in the tolerance is multiplied by 10

When i use retrieve dimension in the drawing (idw) the values from the tolerance show +20 / -20 (also multiplied by 10)

Is this a bug in inventor or is my knowledge poor?

Hi Groentje,

Inventor's internal unit is centimeters, so it's reading 2 as 2 cm's (when your document settings > units is set to millimeters).

You can do this to ensure that it reads it as mm:

Parameter.Param("d0").Tolerance.SetToDeviation(tol1 & "mm" ,tol2 & "mm")

Also just as a tip, you can search and ask programming questions of this type on the Inventor Customization forum too:

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