What does "Skeleton" use as template file?

I have an issue with frame generator that gives me an error message when I save them. This seems to stem from the Skeleton model getting a iLogic code that I use in my template, that runs everytime before I save. This code end up in the skeleton parts, which are "locked" and hence throw errors when the code runs in it, trying to change stuff. 

I cant seem to figure out which part the Skeleton uses as a template, can someone please tell me this?

Looks like you have a Standard.ipt somewhere with iLogic code.

Or IV take default template when it couldn't find Standard.ipt.

There is an internal template Inventor use which should not have your iLogic code.

@Tigerpirro 

If you have ever used the ilogic create part from template and not specified the path the part will be created with a built in template file not accessible to users.

The API help shows how to call these and you can see the difference. So this is likely what your seeing happening when you launch the addin.

The down side of this is a lot of programs use the standard.ipt template. Which means if you want to customize it you either need to temporary replace this template at time of creating a frame generator or any addin using this or inject internal rules/ parameters  into the part file after creation. There is likely many more workarounds out there.

 

It would be great if the application options contained fields to set default template paths for addins like frame generator and tube and pipe to enable more customization of the templates!
