How to imput parameter using Ilogic rule when creating a new part.

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I would like to write a Ilogic rule that comes with a question screen, where I can enter some parameter, when I create a new part.

Excempel: I have a template for a steel plate with a scetch. I need to input 3 parameter: length, width and thickness. So the rule should come with those 3 questions: input length, input width and input thickness.

Don't think it is very complicated but I couldn't figure it out. Appreciate all help.

Thanks,

Toon

Do you want the iLogic to be specific to that part file or for any part file you open??

I only want to do it with some of my template files. External rule and trigger new document.

That is not the probem 😄

This is code that I just wrote that works. If this is not what you were looking for let me know and I will try to fix it to get what you want.

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

Length = InputBox("Input Length", "Length", Length)
Width = InputBox("Input Width", "Width", Width)
Thickness = InputBox("Input Thickness", "Thickness", Thickness)
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Hello Mwighton,

Your rule works fine, I get the questions I want but is it possible to assign my answers to an existing parameter and update the part?

Never mind, I figured that part out myself. Thanks for your help.
