Alan, thanx for sharing this rule w/me!

Also, thanx for the links (great idea to include in your rule).

Just read them all and see they fill in the blanks of what I wanted to know for some time.

Nice!

 

Gonna analyze this today to see what I can learn from you.

 

The other day I decided to revisit the way I do 'automatic drawings' for flat patterns. I simplified it greatly by using an idw template that sets up all the label text using unused native Inventor iProperties. I have a couple rules (modified forum work) that insert the custom iProperties into each ipt file's native iProperties, and then opens that idw template and populates it w/flat pattern views with the template's standard label. Works like a charm. So simple, but took 2 years of fiddle farting around w/iLogic to understand how to do that.

 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how you did your views, b/c I still haven't figured out how to make a rule to automatically make drawings views of all my detail parts.

 

Cheers...
