I'm working on creating a reusable door across multiple cabinets. I'm using Inventor and Woodwork4Inventor
The door is a standard 5 piece door consisting of an exterior frame and an interior panel. These pieces have constraints set to enable resizing.
Currently, I pull the door into the Cabinet assembly file using iLogic components. The standard Form I created pops up, which includes an overall width and an overall height. But, that requires me to actually measure the Width and Height of the door opening and then manually enter that.
There ends up being some back and forth to get the right dimensions and requires manual entry which slows down the process and decreases accuracy.
Is there any way that I can automatically resize the door using iMate parameters?
In my ideal scenario, I would pull in the door, not resize it, make iMate selections, and those iMate selections would automatically set the Overall Width and Overall Height, while maintaining the constraints set in the iLogic door component.
Any advice, concept overviews, or resources would be helpful!
Thanks!
