Creating ilogic Assembly with Standard components

[Anonymous]

Hi

Long time Autocad user but now am moving most of my work across to Autodesk Inventor.

Some of the work I do is with companies that their parts are standard components that will not change.

So I am using Inventor to automate the drawings based on their requirements. For example if it needs to be 4m high. then to use 2 x 2m sections. Currently I have create different assemblies of the different potential heights that I can switch between using ilogic but I need to be able to shift the top truss arch depending on how high the truss is.

Any links to any previous discussions like this would be helpful. It's basically automatting lego

You may consider iLogic as a great tool to configure the existing geometry using top-down control of model parameters.

Create the set of input parameters in the top assembly document.  Their values should be set by the user manually. 

Create iLogic rules in the top assembly document

1)    to calculate section sizes, quantities and section’s input parameters (if it makes sense).  E.g., you may change pattern size to get 3 sections instead of 2.

2)    to conditional suppress / unsuppress components and assembly constraints
