Missing 'iLogic Log' option in Model Browser within .idw

StuartRoodt — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 00:00:44 GMT

While within any file type (iam, ipt, idw), the ability to add the iLogic Log is missing from the expansion. The only way to access the iLogic log is from the View\User Interface ribbon, which was previously not required. Activating it here does not create it as an item in the + 'Show tabs' menu in the browser pane, although it does create the tab.

Also of note, IDW files had the + missing completely, but after some jumping between .ipt and .iam files and using the + there, I was able to get it to return in the idw file.

EDIT:
This is in Inventor 2024.1.1

How odd! It's there for me in all environments (2024.1.1)

Accessible through "+" and "User Interface":

Thanks @pcrawley. I've edited my post to include my version (also 2024.1.1)
Very odd indeed.

Hi Stuart,

Have you tried using Inventor Reset Utility?

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson, thanks for the input. I have tried this now, and although I had an iLogic tab present in a drawing after the reset, once I closed the tab I didn't have the option to open it again. I had to go through the View ribbon, User Interface, and select what I want. I haven't loaded any exported settings/customised Inventor since the reset.

When I close ALL browser tabs, these are the only available options to create. Surely iLogic and iLogic Log should be included here (at the very least iLogic)?

Edit: I'm not sure if the 'Reset UI Layout' should address browser panes, but in my case when clicking it, my browser panes remained as is (non-existent as I had closed everything). iLogic or iLogic Log did not appear under the + menu either.

Hi, want to share also my experience.

What I have done before, I uninstalled Inventor Pro 2023 + CAM. Then I installed Inventor Pro 2026.1 + CAM. (No, I did not upgrade).

I opened old projects, looked them, I made one tutorial and so on.

- Then I started looked first time iLogic from Inventor Browser behind plus sign, there wasn't. Only two option, "Favourites" and "CAM".

Ok, I anyway found iLogic from Ribbon bar.

- Next I wanted to look iLogic log, I looked again Inventor Browser, still not appear. I close Inventor and start again. Did not help.

I google search this problem and found this topic of very same problem.

- In first, post I start look same "User Interface" setting. But I was missing those option as well -> "iLogic", "iLogic Log"

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1262507iBBB385232A32D7FE/image-size/medium?v=v2&px=400

I again, close Inventor, start Inventor. Create new part.

Then suddenly, those options appear in my program and are working.

Seems, it needed little wake up.
