Gaps in Frame generator

[diego.rusnighi]

Hi,

with frame generator in Inventor I can add a gap  between two members using the command notch

My request is related to the possibility to recognize the notches in the assembly and force the value to zero (Note:the gap is not a 'standard' parameter)

is it possible to create a Rule in iLogic?

That would grant me the possibility to optain a .iam version without gaps between notches to use for other analysis

Thanks in advance 

Diego

Hi!

I believe the  Frame Generator API is not open to use in iLogic rules.

There's no functions available for Frame Generator tools.

It looks possible. The Offset looks like it's a thickness feature w/ the other frame member body copied to the part.

Ex. for one part

Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document

Dim oThickenFeatures As ThickenFeatures = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.ThickenFeatures

For Each oThickenFeature As ThickenFeature In oThickenFeatures
	oThickenFeature.Distance.Expression = "0.25 in"
Next
