Auto Resize View to Fit Sheet

[MikeKovacik4928]

Hi there Autodesk employees and Inventor Users around the world

I am in the process of automating my drawing to an excel spreadsheeet. I am trying to find a way to also automate the scale of the view so that it fits onto the same area of the drawing sheet,
whatever I change the parameter of the model to.

Is there a way of doing this standard out of the box Inventor, or do I have to use Ilogic. If I have to use Ilogic, do I have to learn how to use Ilogic, or can I just learn how to run Ilogic and use an already written Ilogic programme?

This is not out of the box but with some iLogic or/and a VBA Macro it shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm not too sure how to do this in pure iLogic - Using also VBA I would put a rule with a trigger on part geometry in your part, then make this rule call a macro that resizes the view. For the macro I would enter all scales you want to use in a array (i.e {1:1, 1:2, 1:3}), start at the biggest and see what the first scale is that makes a the view height/width smaller than the sheet height/width.

i don't know how to use any of what you have said, VBA, ilogic or macros.

How can I get a solution?

Can I maybe post my drawing with a more detailed explanation,

and ask somebody to write me a solution, that I can use.

Then I can use that solution as a start to understanding how ilogic,vba or macros work,

and possibly  studying them further.

I'd suggest first learning and trying and then asking for help..

okay

here we go, ilogic

See my new post on where to find good ilogic tutorials
