iLogic Forms -Tab not working consistently

[cmcconnell]

We have a few forms we use in our models and drawings. Some of them are global and some are not.

For whatever reason, we have noticed in the last week that we are no longer able to tab between fields in some iLogic forms. Others are ok.

Has something changed along the line?

Windows installed KB2565063 on the 10/21. And there were Microsoft Visual C++ installed on the same day. (If that helps)

Which version of Inventor are you running?
Can you post one of the global forms that shows the problem? If you can post the XML file, we should be able to open it.

We are on Version 2019.1.2. Attached is the xml for that form.

Sorry - posted that under the wrong account again. Autodesk really needs to allow simultaneous logins...

It seems to be working again in 2019.2 this morning...

Ha! I spoke too soon. It is working on my machine but not others...

As far as I can tell, the behavior is consistent. But it is a problem. We hope to fix this in a future release.
This can happen if you have

• a multi-value parameter in the form
• the Edit Control Type for that parameters is Combo Box (which is the default)
• the Allow Custom Values property is False (also the default)

A control like that can't be tabbed into, and it can affect the tab behavior of the entire form.

This only applies when the form is run in non-modal mode. As a workaround, you could run it in modal mode (set the Modal property of the form to True).

I switched Modal = True and that seems to have made it work again - we will see what happens next week when everybody tries it out.

Thanks Mike.
