Disable Screen Updating via iLogic

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am using iLogic to change assembly dimensions, suppress components and constrains. Is there any way to turn off screen updating while iLogic rules are running?

Please try this method:

  ThisApplication.ScreenUpdating = False 
            ... some iLogic commands ...
  ThisApplication.ScreenUpdating = True

Cheers,

Well it works  but not quite as I would expect. In my case Inventor gets frozen. Then only way to restart Inventor is to use Windows Application Manager shot down process and restart.

Try this format:

    Try
      ' ... rule code ...
    Catch ex As Exception
      'if some error occurs then this code will be executed
      ThisApplication.ScreenUpdating = True
      ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.UserInteractionDisabled = False
      Beep()
      MsgBox("Error info: " & vbNewLine & ex.ToString)
    End Try

  Cheers,

"Try" code piece runs without any errors. 

Soon I set   string  ThisApplication.ScreenUpdating = False 

in front of my iLogic code Inventor freezes in quite funny way

We recently moved on Inventor 2013 and strugling to get our models and drawing to work. It is quite a mess here. I would like to postpone this subject for a while as I simply have no time for more testing.

Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.
