ilogic event triggers at .step importation??

Looking to sense after downloading a .step,.stp etc that it is such a file type, and perform iproperty tasks afterwards before saving. Is there such a way to event trigger ilogic upon non native file importation?? 

Thanks!

Hi! This is a very interesting request. I don't think there is an iLogic trigger to do that. It may require Inventor API code. Let me check with the project team.

Many thanks!

Johnson, you're correct. There is no iLogic event trigger on file import.

However, you could have a rule run on the Before Save Document trigger. That would make sure the iProperties are set before the file is saved. The downside is that it would run on every save, instead of only running when necessary.

Thanks for your input thats too bad. I seen one to trigger at opening and at before save but figured there maybe some higher level workaround. Not familiar with API yet but maybe can make something work in the future. More or less want to force imported .steps to be given a form to fill out desciptions and other iproperties before they are even saved. Its an effort to clean up/enforce iproperty filling out protocol. If you even hear of someones workaround or API code to this please let me know. Thanks!

Anyone have any luck with this? I'm interested in implementing the same thing.
