Are you running an iLogic rule?

If not, one might be getting triggered. Check event triggers in the ribbon bar or check the iLogic browser pane to see if there are any rules in there randomly during when you change parameters.

Hi James,

Yes, it's ilogic related my code doesn't funtion since the update today.

Ohhhhh, I see now. Sorry I can't help with that. Try the inventor
customisation forum. They are better equipped for this type of thing.

@D0UGLAS , did the same model work in Inventor 2022?
Can you post a simple model that shows the error?

[D0UGLAS]

Hi Mike, yes it did, I have sent you a private message.

In the meantime I am going to roll back versions.

Uninstall update!

Error disappeared after rolling it back to original 2022?

[D0UGLAS]

Yes, I am running the previous version 2022.01.

@D0UGLAS , thanks for reporting this. I verified that it is a regression and logged it as INVGEN-54747. The problem is in the Component.Visible function. Code such as:

Component.Visible("Part1:1") = False

Will throw an error if the component "Part1:1" is suppressed. To work around it, you can add a test to make sure the component is not suppressed:

If Component.IsActive("Part1:1") Then Component.Visible("Part1:1") = False

In 2022.1, that workaround will do exactly the same thing that the original code did in 2022.0. The original function would not actually call the API to set the visibility if the component is suppressed. The API will throw an error on that.

In your model, the component that shows this problem is "GRX", referenced in the rule 10_TOUS. Instead of adding code, maybe you can actually take out the calls to Component.Visible in this case. You're setting it invisible and also suppressing it (and vice versa : unsuppressing and also setting it visible). Is it necessary to set both the visibility and the suppression status?

[D0UGLAS]

Thanks Mike, I will look into this!

How did you identify the part with this issue?

I attached Visual Studio to the Inventor process as a debugger, and set it to break on exceptions. That lets you see the line where the error occurred. Here's details on how to do it. Here's a video.

This problem is fixed in the Inventor 2022.2 update.
