Hello all,

I want to copy similar design part (.ipt) and drawing (.idw) file with the help of iLogic code. I am totally new in iLogic and also do not having in depth knowledge about programming but this is possible with iLogic code and I got one similar video file from Inventor forums. Please refer attached video file. I have exactly copied iLogic rule program from the video to my Inventor file. But its in now working and giving message "The Unit name "Number" is not valid in Inventor" (please refer attached image) can any body please guide me in this regards. I am also attaching my program file in .txt format, please check. If possible please send corrected program or guide me how to remove these errors. I am using AutoDesk Inventor 2017.

Thank you in advacne and best regards,

Why create one when there's already one in the program https://synergiscadblog.com/2014/09/23/copy-files-easily-with-ilogic-design-copy-even-without-ilogic...

Update:  Perhaps it doesn't meet your requirements but try it out and see if it does.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your reply and yes you are correct "Why create one when there's already one in the program"

I was just thinking some times we have number of similar parts and need to only change height, sheet thickness or only change in couple of dimensions etc. For such a family type parts we can use the copy iLogic rule and create .prt and .idw files fastly. I know and I uses regularly copying .prt and .idw files and then rename it in our project/workspace folder on hard drive for identical parts.

But I was looking and checking iLogic rules and found iLogic is also a better option some time

Also I know iLogic Design copy option but never used but thanks for your information

Best regards,
