iLogic Form in Global State but still run rules, VBA

Is there a way to Open an iLogic External Form in the Modal State, BUT still allow it to run iLogic rules, VBA etc?

 

I need the form to open in the modal state (nothing else can be done until it is closed) BUT I still need to to update Run rules while it is open.

 

The form is to be used to update the title block, print to PDF and other commands.  It is linked to the drawing that it is opened in, so if it is not modal you can select another drawing and the form will only modify the drawing it was opened in.  If there was an iLogic Close form command, this could be easily overcome as you could check if the part number in the form matched the active document and if not close and re-open it.  I know this works as I have previously do this using an VBA user form.  I would like to avoid this as the iLogic form has a direct link to the iProperties and Rules etc.

 

If there is another way to update the iLogic Form when the Active Document Changes, I maybe able to use this as an alternative.

 

I don't think opening a Global Form in Modal state but still able to runs rules etc is is possible, but wondered if anyone else had managed to find a solution.

 

If it is not possible, I will have to build the form in VBA instead which is not ideal as it removes the direct link to the iProperties etc.

Hi @ccoomes,

 

If iLogic form is non modal, user can interact with Inventor and run other Rules, VBA etc.,

 

Please go through the below video link. It is clearly explained about Modal and non Modal state of iLogic form under "Use a Form" topic.

 

Work with iLogic form

 

If the suggestion is not helpful, please explain the situation with screenshots.

 

Thanks and regards,
