ilogic Event on mouse click

[karolis.s]

Hello,

I am looking for solution to store hole diameter in variable and use it in INVENTOR CAM default properties.
So my question is: Is it possible to get diameter of hole with mouseclick event? I mean i want to click on hole in my partDocument and immediately get diameter of it.

I'm not familiar with Inventor CAM, but try this iLogic code to retrieve the diameter.

Dim oPDoc As PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oPDef As PartComponentDefinition = oPDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim oCM As CommandManager = ThisApplication.CommandManager
Dim oHole As Face = oCM.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kPartFaceCylindricalFilter, "Select the Cylindrical Face of the hole you want to retrieve the Diameter from.")
If oHole.SurfaceType = SurfaceTypeEnum.kCylinderSurface Then
	Dim oCylinder As Cylinder = oHole.Geometry
	Dim oDia As Double = (oCylinder.Radius) * 2
	MsgBox("Diameter = " & oDia,vbInformation,"DIAMETER")
End If
'You could also store oDia as a Shared Variable to be able to use it in another rule.

Also, if you're just looking for a way to launch the Measure tool, you can try the following command.

ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppMeasureDistanceCmd").Execute

I hope this helps.
