I'm trying to turn a part's visibility on or off in a drawing view using iLogic code. The rule is in the .dwg with the parts I wish to set.. Everything works great unless the view is a section view then Inventor crashes. No error message is generated it just crashes. Below is my code. If anyone has a suggestion I'd really appreciate it.
Sub Main
Call PartVisibility("My Occur:1",False,"VIEW1")
End Sub
Public Sub PartVisibility(PartName As String, Visible As Boolean, ViewName As String, Optional AllViews as Boolean = False)
invApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")
'Make sure views exist
Dim Views As DrawingViews
Views = ActiveSheet.Sheet.DrawingViews
If Views.count = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Call SetActiveDoc("General Assembly.iam")
'Get the drawing occurance to be set
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
' Get references to the two occurrences to constrain.
' This arbitrarily gets the first and second occurrence.
Dim oOcc1 As ComponentOccurrence
oOcc1 = oAsmCompDef.Occurrences.ItemByName(PartName)
Call SetActiveDoc("General Assembly.dwg")
Try
'On Error Resume Next
Dim oDrawView As DrawingView
For Each oDrawView In Views
If AllViews = False Then
If UCase(ViewName) = UCase(oDrawView.Name) Then
oDrawView.SetVisibility(oOcc1, Visible)
End If
Else
oDrawView.SetVisibility(oOcc1, Visible)
End If
Next
Catch
'do nothing
End Try
End Sub
Public Function SetActiveDoc(DocName As String) As Boolean
'This Sets the active document and returns true if sucessful
Dim Dwgs As Documents
Dwgs = ThisApplication.Documents
Dim Dwg As Document
For Each Dwg In Dwgs
If Dwg.DisplayName = DocName Then
On Error Goto hell
Dwg.Activate
SetActiveDoc = True
Exit For
End If
Next
Dwgs = Nothing
Dwg = Nothing
Exit Function
hell:
Dwgs = Nothing
Dwg = Nothing
SetActiveDoc = False
End Function
