iLogic to create parameter in all parts within a drawing

Anonymous · ‎07-29-2014

I have iLogic code which when run from a drawing file recognises all parts referenced in a drawing and creates a custom iproperty within each part.

I want to change this slighty so instead of creating a custom iproperty it creates a parameter.

This is my code which currently creates a custom iproperty.

Dim openDoc As Inventor.Document
Dim docFile As Inventor.Document
Dim DrawingDoc As DrawingDocument
Dim FNamePos As Long
Dim docFName As String
Dim iDesc as String

DrawingDoc = openDoc
openDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
iDesc = iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")

For Each docFile In openDoc.AllReferencedDocuments

'   Check if referenced document is a Part file. If it is, fill in the SK field.
   If docFile.DocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then
       'If Not Mid(iDesc, Len(iDesc) - 4, 4) = "<SK>" Then
       '   iDesc = iDesc + "<SK>"
       'End If

       FNamePos = InStrRev(docFile.FullFileName, "\", - 1)
       docFName = Mid(docFile.FullFileName, FNamePos + 1, Len(docFile.FullFileName) - FNamePos)
       iProperties.Value(docFName, "Custom", "Rule1Status") = "RunRule1"

   End If
Next

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Im not sure how to change this so a parameter is created instead of a custom iproperty

Hi shmartin89,

ThanksCurtis,

I will have a look at these links however this is just a round about way for me to try and run a rule which exists in all my parts.

Have you ever come accross a way of doing this from the drawing?

I.e - finding all referenced parts withing a drawing file and running a rule which exists in every part. (I have created a rule in my template part file - "Rule0")

Thanks,

Sandy
