iLogic Hole Dropdown Selection

[Anonymous]

Would like to know if it is possible to access properties of Hole features through iLogic and create my own selection dropdown for holes on a form, similar to the dropdown I was able to create by accessing materials iProperties?

MultiValue.List("Bracket_Material")=iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material=Bracket_Material

Or, even better, is there a way to cause the hole feature dialogue to run during the execution of the rule for a specific hole feature?

See attached for more explanation.

Thanks!

Hum, wonder if you can use the excel file that comes with inventor and have ilogic look at it I do know you can make a drop down list using ilogic linking to excel.

Not sure but thought I might help you think...

Hi mies07,

Both of your options are possible I believe. 

Creating the dropdown menu is possible and also takes a bit of time to enter all of the information you require. You must create your own list with the information in it, and have these represent the exact same Hole Names you see in the Hole Feature tool. I have done this already and can probably start you off a bit easier than I did with some code.

It would also be possible to activate the Hole Feature dialog box as it would simply be a line of code, but might be trickier to use given what you wish to do with it. If this is wht you chose, please elaborate on the process you wish to do (eg. create a sketch and then run it)

Which one would you prefer?

Regards

Mitch

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to get the list of the thread info such as size, designation etc. These info are stored at e.g. on Win7,  C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Design Data\XLS\en-US\Thread.xls.
