iLogic rule

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

i just finished installing and creating all the rules of my master assembly. 

Now i got the problem with the iLogic application, that if names of parts are changing (reason is a new assembly user) the rules doesn't work anymore.

Does someone have ideas to fix my problem?

i first had the idea to install an iProperty which value is the actual name of the component(it changes its calue to the new name if the part was copied an got a new name) in every single component of my assemblies but i can't figure out how to reach and include them in my rules.

i wanted to take a variable and write it with the value of the iProperty.

Thanks to everyone who takes time to read and think about my problem

best regards,

Daniel

Could you explain the issue in more detail and perhaps share some section of your code?

Hi daniel.fetz,

I think the typical recomendation for this is to "Stabalize" the bowser names. Meaning that if your part files are named Bolt_12345, Bolt54321, Bolt67890, etc. You simply edit the bowser node in the assembly and name them Bolt1, Bolt2, Bolt3, etc. Then you iLogic code looks for component occurences named Bolt1, Bolt2, and Bolt3, rather than Bolt_12345, Bolt54321, Bolt67890.

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

Good suggestion.

In fact, Inventor has a tool for renaming browser nodes all in one hit based on Part Number, Description, etc.
