iLogic external rules standard directory deletion in a template

[D.Wheeler3GADA]

Greetings,

       Is there a way to delete an iLogic external rules standard directory in a template? All the Help info I can find says you should be able to right click and delete the directory, but the is no delete option available. Am I missing something? The directory is no longer in use, and now Inventor displays a warning at every start-up that the directory is missing. Is there a way to fix this other than replacing the template file with an original from another PC?

Thanks!

Hi @D.Wheeler3GADA ,

I suspect what you might need to do is go to the Manage tab > iLogic panel > Event Triggers button, and remove the trigger that is calling the missing rule from there.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Hi @D.Wheeler3GADA.  Another place to look might be the iLogic Configuration settings.  To check that out, go to the Tools tab > Options panel (may need to expand it down) > iLogic Configuration.  Then within that dialog, there is a list of those 'standard directories' where your external iLogic rules are being stored.  Within that list, you can right-click on one and choose 'Remove'. (That will not actually delete the folder, just remove it from the list.)  Or you can Add a directory there if needed, which designates it as one of the locations to search for external iLogic rules.  Many (but not all) of the settings seen in that dialog can also be accessed by code too, if needed.

Another alternative to using this dialog is to go to your iLogic browser, select the External Rules tab, then right click on any of the existing listed directories, then choose 'Open Folder' to open that location within your regular file browser, then you can access that folder's parent folder, where the other directory may be located.  While in your regular file browser, you can delete a directory if needed.  But if there is anything within the folder, you may need copy it out or something, so you don't loose any important files you may want to keep.
