External iLogic - Error when I attempt to run External rule from an External rule on initial restart of Inventor (2023)

[steveh3]

Gang...running into a problem which I can't figure out.

I have a simple External iLogic rule which runs another External rule.

On the initial start up of Inventor. I have to run the iLogic ("iPropEditor") manually first, before the rule that references that iLogic will find it. Once I do this...all is well.

iLogicVb.RunExternalRule("iPropEditor")

iLogicForm.ShowGlobal("UM iProp Editor")

 

Here's a short video to go along with this...

Hi @steveh3.  I see that you are using multiple levels of sub folders within your iLogic rules directory.  Do you have that specific sub folder named "PropEditor" listed directly within your iLogic Configuration settings, where the 'External Rule Directories' list is?  If not, you may need to add it directly into that list.  I wish they would fix that system so that you could just list one top level directory, then it would just automatically find all rules under that directory, without me having to specify each and every sub directory, but it does not work that way yet, and I had to deal with that every time I messed around with the directories/folders in my external rules area.

@WCrihfield .....

Appears that was it. Renamed everything to be unique and updated Triggers and all seems well.

Thank you,
