iLogic: turn off ambient shadow if filesize of open file is bigger then XXX

[Neuzzo]

Hi all, i'm newbie of iLogic code and if is possible i need an help  with this code:

Dim doc As Document
doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim ls As AppAmbientShadowCmd

Dim myFile As New FileInfo(ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(True))
Dim sizeInBytes As Long = myFile.Length
Dim sizeInKB As Long = sizeInBytes / 1024
Dim sizeInMB As Long = sizeInKB / 1024
If sizeInMB > 45
	AppAmbientShadowCmd(False)
	
Else AppAmbientShadowCmd(True)

This is what i want to do:

When i open an assembly or part, if filesize is bigger then 45MB, ilogic shut down ambient shadow.

Else put the shadow on.

Any help is really apreciated.

Hello @Neuzzo 

This post would be better in the inventor customization forum.

I have asked this to be moved for you.

Hope you find your answer there.

Hi @Neuzzo 

You were close!

This is what you need:

Imports System.IO

Dim myFile As New FileInfo(ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(True))
Dim sizeInBytes As Long = myFile.Length
Dim sizeInKB As Long = sizeInBytes / 1024
Dim sizeInMB As Long = sizeInKB / 1024

Dim oView As Inventor.View = ThisApplication.ActiveView
If sizeInMB > 45 Then
	oView.ShowAmbientShadows = False
Else
	oView.ShowAmbientShadows = True
End If
