iLogic Add Thread Feature

[ComputerGuru666]

Does anyone know if its possible to add a thread feature to a part using iLogic.

Basically in the iLogic form if the user selects "Threaded Rod" the existing Extrusion is updated to reflect a cylinder with a length and diameter specified by the user and then I need to have a Thread Added to the cylinder.

If that makes sense

Thank you

Please try this sample iLogic rule.

It was developed on the basis of the VBA sample "ThreadSample" from Inventor API Help.

Dim oDef as partcomponentdefinition _
	= ThisDoc.Document.componentdefinition

'extrude feature by name (or by item number)
Dim oExtrude As extrudefeature _
	= odef.features.extrudefeatures.item("EXTR")
' Get the face the thread will be applied to.
Dim oFace As Face = oExtrude.SideFaces.Item(1)
' Get the edge the thread extent will be measured from.
Dim oEdge As Edge = oExtrude.EndFaces.Item(1).Edges.Item(1)

' Set a reference to the ThreadFeatures collection object.
Dim oThreadFeatures As ThreadFeatures = oDef.Features.ThreadFeatures

' Define all of the thread information.
Dim oThreadInfo As ThreadInfo
oThreadInfo = oThreadFeatures.CreateStandardThreadInfo( _
    False, True, "ANSI Unified Screw Threads", _
    "1 5/8-6 UN", "2A")
' Create the thread feature.
Dim oThreadFeature As ThreadFeature
oThreadFeature = oThreadFeatures.Add( _
	oFace, oEdge, oThreadInfo, _
    False, False, "2 cm", 0)
oThreadFeature.Name ="iLogic_Maiden_Thread"
Beep ' :)

 

Hope this can help you to modify your rule.
