Inventor Template Customization

Anonymous — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:28:58 GMT

Dear Team,

I would like to make my template as per the requirement and want to lock some of the options or features for creating any kind of model.

Example : If my team is working on Sheet Metal module, then I want them to only check the Material Thickness, which I have defined in the Template, other features like Material Style & Unfold Rule must be locked.

Please help me ...

Thank you.

Hi,

I do not see a way to disable some settings. The only I can suggest is:

either your code could pop out a warning after the end user modifies the relevant options (such as rule). And ask him not to modify the rule.

or when the end user closes the document, pop out the warning to indicate the rule is modified and ask him to change back to the orignal.

Hi Mirza,

I meant to start some events such as ApplicationEvents.OnCloseDocument. In this event, check if the rule is changed. If yes, just pop out a message box to tell the user. And cancel the operation by HandlingCode = kEventCanceled . thus the closing will not proceed.
