iLogic pdf print problem

[erik]

Hello!

I have made a set of rules to create drawing sets. But i have a problem with my iLogic rule when it comes to generate pdf prints. The drawing sets consists of 3 or 4 sheets. The first sheet is ok, but on sheet 2, 3 and 4 some of the lines becomes almost invisible?

Someone who know what might be the problem?

If you save to pdf not using ilogic do you get the same issue?

If not can you post your ilogic code and maybe a sample drawing and pdf showing the issue,etc...

The more data you provide the better your chances of a useful answer..

Thanks for answer.

If I save to pdf "manually", the print is ok, but then I miss some auto-generated file name.

Here are my print rule:

Sub Main()
	Dim oAsmDoc As AssemblyDocument
	oAsmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
	oAsmName = Left(oAsmDoc.DisplayName, Len(oAsmDoc.DisplayName) -4)
		
	Dim PDFAddIn As TranslatorAddIn
        Dim oContext As TranslationContext
	Dim oOptions As NameValueMap
	Dim oDataMedium As DataMedium
	
	Call ConfigurePDFAddinSettings(PDFAddIn, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)
	
	oPath = ThisDoc.Path
	oFolder = "Q:\Dokumenter\art"
	
		'- - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Level Drawing - - - - - - - - - - - -
	Dim oAsmDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument
	oAsmDrawingDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(ThisDoc.ChangeExtension(".idw"), True)
	oAsmDrawingName = iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject")

	On Error Resume Next
		oDataMedium.FileName = oFolder & "\" & oAsmDrawingName & ".pdf"
		Call PDFAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oAsmDrawingDoc, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)
		oAsmDrawingDoc.Close
	
End Sub
Sub ConfigurePDFAddinSettings(ByRef PDFAddIn As TranslatorAddIn, ByRef oContext As TranslationContext, ByRef oOptions As NameValueMap, ByRef oDataMedium As DataMedium)

	oPath = ThisDoc.Path
	PDFAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}")
	oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
	oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism
	oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
	oOptions.Value("All_Color_AS_Black") = 0
	oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = 0
	oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
	oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintSheetRange
	oOptions.Value("Custom_Begin_Sheet") = 1
	oOptions.Value("Custom_End_Sheet") = 3

	oDataMedium = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium
	
	
End Sub

Hi @erik 

I would try changing the "Remove_Line_Weights" option to 1.

Note too that programming questions of this type are generally better suited for the Inventor Customization forum:
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor-Customization/bd-p/120

I've asked the moderators to move this thread to that forum for you.

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

Hi.

I have tried to set the "Remove_Line_Weights" option to 1. There was no difference.

Thanks for your help.
