API - Create iLogic Rule & add event trigger

[Jef_E]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a NEW rule via the Inventor API and add a Event trigger to it?

OR

Is it possible to suppress/unsuppress a ilogic rule?

[MechMachineMan]

Yes, Yes, And Yes.

It is all through iLogicVb.Automation.

ie;

To supress a rule:
iLogicVb.Automation.GetRule(ThisDoc.Document, "Part Info").IsActive = False

[Jef_E]

And how can I use this in my vb.net program?

This snippit you gave me is accepted by iLogic but not by visual studio?

[MechMachineMan]

Call the iLogic Add-in within the inventor app of your visual studio object.

There is also the .dll / reference for the iLogic add-in which you will need to include.

[Jef_E]

Can't seem to find the .dll to add as reference.. Can only find the Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll

Where do i look for the iLogic.dll?

[MechMachineMan]

I may have mislead you a bit there; I haven't actually made add-ins myself and am not too familiar with the nitty-gritty details.

BUT:

The good ol' Google-Fu looks like it can help you out more than I ever could.
