Create iLogic Form with VBA or iLogic

[GeorgK]

Hello together,

I create some iLogic rules automatically. Is there any possibility to create a iLogic form with all the rules as buttons on it with VBA or iLogic?

Thank you

Georg

Sub RuniLogicRule()
    RuniLogic ("Path to extrenal rule.txt")
End Sub
Public Sub RuniLogic(ByVal RuleName As String)
    Dim iLogicAuto As Object
    Dim invDoc As DrawingDocument
    Set invDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    Set iLogicAuto = GetiLogicAddin(ThisApplication)
    If (iLogicAuto Is Nothing) Then Exit Sub
    iLogicAuto.RunExternalRule invDoc, RuleName
End Sub

 

Public Function GetiLogicAddin(oApplication As Inventor.Application) As Object
    Dim addIn As ApplicationAddIn
    On Error GoTo NotFound
    Set addIn = oApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{3bdd8d79-2179-4b11-8a5a-257b1c0263ac}")
    If (addIn Is Nothing) Then Exit Function
    addIn.Activate
    Set GetiLogicAddin = addIn.Automation
    Exit Function
NotFound:
End Function

This is the code to call an extrenal ilogic rule from VBA.

Create a form and for each of the buttons when clicked  call the sub which runs the relevant external ilogic rule, which can be saved in a txt document.

Hello Alice,

thanks for your help. But I would like to add a form with VBA or iLogic and then add the rules to the form.

Hi @GeorgK,

Unfortunately, there is no API to add iLogic form.

Please post this wish list at idea station using following link.

Thanks and regards,

Is this possible for Inventor 2019?

Unfortunately no, there's no way to control the iLogic forms via API, if you want a more dynamic form that changes, your best choice is to make the form in Visual Studio, and then look into the Create Rule for a Dialog Wizard.  If you're trying to make a form that isn't file dependent then you can make a global form.

I create some iLogic rules with an add-in per model. This would be great to  that with a form.
