Sketch visibility, in assembly, controlled by ilogic

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 17:57:58 GMT

Hi,

Being in Assembly environment, I would like to control the visibility of a specific sketch of a placed part using ilogic, but having problems to find the exact code necessary for such a function, can anyone help me with that?

Name of part? (its an ipt in the iam right and not an ipt in a subassembly iam correct?)

Name of sketch in that part?

I'm probably not seeing your "big picture" here... But why spend time creating an iLogic program when you can already do that with View Reps... Anyhow my 2 cents..

1, Create a view rep at the part level with that sketch turned out.

2. Then create a view rep at the assembly level and then right mouse click on that part in the assembly browser pane and select Representation.

3. Select the Part View Rep that you want and click to associate it back to part view rep.

Yes, it's a .ipt in direct placed into the .iam.

Name of part: Floor

Name of sketch: Campus

Basically what i want is that the visibility should be controlled by a Boolean type of parameter, called "Campus", such as:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If Campus = True Then
Sketch.Visible("Floor", "Campus") = True
'Else'Sketch.Visible("Floor", "Campus") = False
End If

Dim compOcc = Component.InventorComponent("Floor")
 Dim oSk As PlanarSketch = compOcc.Definition.Sketches.Item("Campus") 
Dim oSkProx As PlanarSketchProxy = Nothing 
Call compOcc.CreateGeometryProxy(oSk, oSkProx) 
oSkProx.Visible = Campus
