iLogic Console

iLogic Console

An interactive iLogic console would be very very helpful. For testing out certain snippets before running a whole script. 

This is especially important as there is no Object Catalog and the Auto-Complete is good to have, but not yet complete.

Hi @lennart_mueller-wirts , I'm not sure what you mean by Object Catalog. Can you provide a link or show a screenshot of something similar?
Here's the iLogic API reference.

In the first place I am wishing for some Python-like interactive window (with proper syntax highlighting and autocompletion).

By Object Catalog I mean the Object Browser (German: Objektkatalog) popping up in Excel VBA when F2 (?) is pressed. It is similar as the iLogic API mentioned by @MjDeck, but part of the UI and interactive.

 

It is a really old and not-so well developed UI to be fair, but functionally it can come in quite handy.

You can view an Object Browser for iLogic in Visual Studio. This is not integrated into Inventor, but if you already have Visual Studio installed then it can be useful.
In VS, create a VB project and add a reference to Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces.dll (in the Inventor bin folder). Then you can click on that reference in the Solution Explorer to see the Object Browser for iLogic interfaces.

You said that the Auto-Complete is good to have, but not yet complete.
Can you give more details about what is missing, or what you would like to see?
