How to read Logger.Info?

wowrs1608 — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 02:52:20 GMT

Hi,

New to iLogic. From here, http://www.hjalte.nl/60-creating-an-inventor-addin , I got this code:

For Each ribbon As Ribbon In ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.Ribbons Logger.Info(vbTab & Ribbon.InternalName) For Each ribbonTab As RibbonTab In Ribbon.RibbonTabs Logger.Info(vbTab & vbTab & RibbonTab.DisplayName & " - " & RibbonTab.InternalName) For Each ribbonPanel As RibbonPanel In RibbonTab.RibbonPanels Logger.Info(vbTab & vbTab & vbTab & RibbonPanel.DisplayName & " - " & RibbonPanel.InternalName) Next Next Next

I opened an asssembly file. Under Manage/iLogic/Add Rule,I added it. And Save & Run.

Where do I read the output? Thanks for help.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi @wowrs1608

Click the + sign next to the Model browser, and then choose iLogic Log from the list.

Or you can use something like this to toggle it on/of

For Each oDockableWindow As Inventor.DockableWindow In ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.DockableWindows
	If oDockableWindow.InternalName = "ilogic.logwindow" Then
		oDockableWindow.Visible = Not oDockableWindow.Visible
	End If
Next

Or something like this to turn it on

For Each oDockableWindow As Inventor.DockableWindow In ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.DockableWindows
	If oDockableWindow.InternalName = "ilogic.logwindow" Then
		oDockableWindow.Visible = True
	End If
Next

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

I like the code that @Curtis_W proposed, and I have added it to the blog post. (However, with a small twist. It is possible to do it without a loop and if statement. I think it looks cleaner)

Regarding the question in your mail. I expect that your name for the ribbon panel is wrong. As far as I can see the name "Position.RibbonPanel" is not a default name. I expect that you need the name: "id_PanelA_AssemblePosition"

Yes, I have found that out. Assembly and Part looks like different products - Following different naming pattern.

Thanks your code, I have added a few buttons.
