iLogic [Event Trigger] API for [Run these rules when events occur] check box?

[Josh_Hunt]

I have many rules inside my parts that need to be triggered by Events. I just now realized that [Run these rules when events occur] check box is an APPLICATION setting. The triggers below are FILE settings.

Is there an API to this checkbox?

@Josh_Hunt,

There is a way to add a rule to event trigger through VBA code. but, Inventor API does not support to check and uncheck check box for "Run these rules when events occur". Below articles would help to add a rule to event triggers.

Maybe you are lokking for this property?

That setting is not the same as the checkbox. The checkbox is an application/persistent setting that cannot be called by the API on purpose for security intentions. The API call for RulesOnEventsEnabled is an API only accessible, session dependent trigger. It will reset to true on restart always. (Note this applies to the newer event interface/handling)

You could possibly modify the xml preference file manually, but Im pretty sure an inventor restart would be required to reload the settings

@greggeorgi Thank you but %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\iLogicPreferences\iLogicOptions.xml does not hold that setting. I think @chandra.shekar.g is correct, that checkbox is a manual user change only.
