iLogic Rule in Content Center Parts Error

[timothy_berg]

My group recently updated to 2018 Inventor. Since then the Content Center families that have rules controlling the description/parameters etc. have started to produce an error. Was there a change in the program that does not allow iLogic on Content Center families and the parts the families create?

Are you seeing a security alert, or an error? Can you post an image or transcription of the message you're seeing?

Some new security features were added for iLogic in Inventor 2018, which you can read about here: Inventor 2018 Help: iLogic Security (found with a quick Google search ).

Ahh, love those. So informative 😉

Those generally mean there's a specific line in your code that's giving Inventor trouble. This may be due to a problem with the update, but the only way to know would be to figure out which line is causing the error.

The way I usually deal with those very unhelpful error messages, is putting messageboxes at strategic places throughout my code (sometimes I just number them 1, 2, 3, etc.), then run the rule and see which is the last one to pop up before the error. I'll repeat this until I've narrowed it down to the single line that's causing the error.

There's probably a better way of doing this... but I don't know of one.

I will give that a try, thanks
