Ilogic to detect features with errors

JorisSteurs1246 — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:10:37 GMT

Some features in my part give me sometimes an error because they didn't change the geometry.

This behaviour is intended.

What I would like to do is to detect the error with iLogic, so that when the error happens I can suppress the feature.

Is that possible ?

Have a look at the screenshot attached.

thanks

Joris

Hi JorisSteurs1246,

Hi Curtis,

That link seemed to have all the info I need and derived the code below from it.

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

For Each oFeature As PartFeature In ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Features
If oFeature.HealthStatus = HealthStatusEnum.kBeyondStopNodeHealth Then
oFeature.Suppressed = True
End If
Next

But unfortunatly that didn't work

Hi JorisSteurs1246,

I think you want to use kInErrorHealth rather than kBeyondStopNodeHealth.

Of you might use kUpToDateHealth , something like this:

If oFeature.HealthStatus <> HealthStatusEnum.kUpToDateHealth Then ...

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

Hi Curtis,

Thank you that helped me a lot . The other methods can come in handy also.

Can you point me to the place where you got these methods from?

Very likely there is more useful stuff for me to learn about.

Thanks again

Joris

Hi JorisSteurs1246,

You can find this in the Programming help files. If you look in the Help pull down it will look something like this image.

I hope this helps.
