Re: iLogic for Controlling LODs and View Rep not working

Anonymous · ‎04-05-2017

Hello All,

I am pretty new to iLogic but have managing my way. I have an Assembly that I am controlling the Levels of Detail and View Representations of using iLogic. The code that i have works when from an assembly level without any issues. My problems arise when I make this item into a Factory Asset. All the parameters come in correctly when placed into a Factory Layout. In fact i can even control any other items i set up. However, when i try to switch the parameters for the View reps or the LODs it throws me this error "The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))". Can anyone shed some light on where i am going wrong?

My code (might be slightly primitive, I'm still new at this) is as follows:

For the Levels of Detail

'Drive Size and Location
If Drive_Size_and_Location = "Default" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("Master").Activate
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Drive_Size_and_Location = "1-2 Horsepower LH" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("1-2 Horsepower LH").Activate
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Drive_Size_and_Location = "1-2 Horsepower RH" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("1-2 Horsepower RH").Activate
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Drive_Size_and_Location = "3-5 Horsepower LH" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("3-5 Horsepower LH").Activate
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Drive_Size_and_Location = "3-5 Horsepower RH" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("3-5 Horsepower RH").Activate
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
End If

For the View Representations

If Setup_Planes = "Setup_Planes:Off" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations.Item("Setup Planes:Off").activate

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Setup_Planes = "Setup_Planes:On" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations.Item("Setup Planes:On").activate

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
Else If Setup_Planes = "Default" Then
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.DesignViewRepresentations.Item("Master").activate

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone=True
ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
End If

Hi there,

Try not to use active document for the factory asset.

The following ilogic code used in my asset for your reference.

Thanks,

-Xuesong

Dim doc as AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
Dim oAsmCompDef As ComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = doc.ComponentDefinition
   Try
       oLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Item("LevelofDetail1").Activate(True)
       Catch
       Dim nLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
       nLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Add("LevelofDetail1")
       oLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Item("LevelofDetail1").Activate(True)
   End Try
End If

Please mark as a solution if somehow I got it right.
