iLogic rule, message box when a member is placed thats missing 'Part Number'

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to add an ilogic rule (in library part) that will show message upon placement in assembly that the designated size does not have a company issued 'Part Number', if that iProperty field is empty... to either choos another size or add a P/N.

I can run it in the ipart file, but unable to trigger and get the message when placing it in an assembly.

Is this even possible?

this is what i have so far:

Dim ChesterPN As String
ChesterPN = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")
currentLength = Len(ChesterPN)
If currentLength < 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("No Chester P/N For Designated Size, Please Add If Available.")
Else
End If

Hi,

You need to put the code into your standard part and not in the factory.

The factory takes the standard *.ipt file for the creation of the members.

I think you cannot add it to the member files because they are protected.

The only solution I would suggest is to create an add in for this and run the code exactly as you prefer, which means checking the partnumber company standard...

i feel like placing  the rule in the ipt. template, will cause a headache in time... 

I don't expect for the part to be editable from the inserted location, mainly just want an alert so that it can be addressed. i cant imagine this not being possible, but i am surprised all the time by Inventor lol
