Event tiggers : After Open Document - Not triggered in file within an assembly

[serge2NPMD]

We are using Inventor 2022 with the latest updates and have an ilogic rule that is trigger on After Open document for all parts document.

If we open an assembly, the rule is not triggered for any the the parts that are in the assembly.

If a part is open from that assembly, the rule is not triggered.

If the assembly is closed and we open the part, the ruled is trigger.

When we were using Inventor 2021 and we opened an assembly, the rule was triggered for all the the parts that was in the assembly.

Is there a way to trigger the rule for all parts within an assembly when we open the assembly ?

Thanks.

The event you are searching for is not in the OpenDocuments but on the OnAcivateDocument. This is not as selection in the Eventrigger dialog. You may need an addin for this or a different i-logic code. I would prefer the add-in because this is easier.

Hi @serge2NPMD.  Just out of curiosity, how is that iLogic rule identifying the document that it is supposed to be targeting?  Is it using 'ThisApplication.ActiveDocument', or 'ThisDoc.Document', or some other phrase (please specify)?  Are you 100% sure that the rule is not being triggered, but then maybe just not doing what it is supposed to be doing, due to incorrect document reference?  If using 'ThisApplication.ActiveDocument', then that term will always be pointing to the 'main/top level' assembly, instead of a part within the assembly, so your code would be trying to do something with that main assembly instead.  And when editing a part type component within an assembly, the term 'ThisApplication.ActiveEditDocument' can often be used to access that part that is being edited.  It is best to use 'ThisDoc.Document' term within iLogic rules that may be ran remotely.  It is a dynamic term, and attempts to reference the most appropriate document in different situations.

Hi @WCrihfield ,

Your the man ! One of the line was calling  ThisApplication.ActiveDocument instead of ThisDoc.Document
Now everything works fine.
Thanks !
