Parts list CUTDETAIL wrong

[jacobssteven77]

Hello,

When inserting CUTDETAIL to my part list it shows the wrong values, as you can see in de attached drawing.

I took a stair railing and added the values on the sketch as to be cutted on te sawtable by hand in the workplace, this is a different value than inventor shows .

On the drawing on the (Part nr 26 and 27) left you can see a mitter that has 2 cutting values of 25.3° that is correct 

in the part list it shows for part 26 'Miter 64.67° CUTDETAIL3 and Miter 25.33° CUTDETAIL4

                                          for part 27 'Miter 64.67° CUTDETAIL1 and Cut Angle 90° CUTDETAIL2 and Cut Angle 90°CUTDETAIL4

If i extract the cut value in inventor from 90° it is the correct cut value:  90°-64.67°(inventor value)= 25.33°(correct cut angle on saw)

Part 27 only has 2 cuts to be made one of 90° and one of 23.33° How come it shows 3 Cuts in the parts list ?

Every part has 2 cut angles why do i have to activate CUTDETAIL 1-2-3 and 4 and inventor does not show the right cut values?

There has to be a better way that only shows the 2 needed cuts with the right angles for every part.

Thank you

Hi!

Frame generator tool creates the "cutdetails" based in the operations you perform, not on the final geometry measurements.

Part 27: Probably you trim the profile before the Miter (in the same side), so in this part you did two trims and one Miter (3 cut operations).

The others parts, i can't say much, only inspecting the model.

Hello, i found a thread that handled this issue, but i dont know where and how to implement the script properly, maybe somebody can help?

Hi!

Open your assembly and:

1- Open Ilogic browser

2- create a new rule in "rules Tab

3- copy/paste the scrip into the new rule

4- save the rule and run the rule

Thank you,

I implemented and runned the code true a rule as you instructed but...

The rule seems to only work on the 'CUTDETAIL' and have odd results on Miter. (see pic in attachement)

I looked into the code and it is scripted the same for 'CUTDETAIL' as for 'Miter', i am no programmer so dont know what the problem may be?

This is the code

    ' Get the active assembly. 
    Dim oAsmDoc As AssemblyDocument 
    oAsmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument  
	 
    ' Get the assembly component definition. 
    Dim oAsmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition  
    oAsmDef = oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition 

    ' Get all of the leaf occurrences of the assembly. 
    Dim oLeafOccs As ComponentOccurrencesEnumerator 
    oLeafOccs = oAsmDef.Occurrences.AllLeafOccurrences 

    ' Iterate through the occurrences and print the name. 
	Dim cnt As Integer 
	cnt = 0
	Dim total As Double  
	 
	Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence
	For Each oOcc In oLeafOccs
		If oOcc.DefinitionDocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then
            Dim oReferDoc As PartDocument
            oReferDoc = oOcc.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
                   
            Dim oProp As Inventor.Property
            For Each oProp In oReferDoc.PropertySets.Item(4)
            
                 If oProp.DisplayName.Contains("CUTDETAIL") = True Then
					Dim oName As String 
					oName = oProp.Name
					
                    Dim sawAngle As String
                    sawAngle = oProp.Value 
					
					Dim angle(1) As String 
					angle = sawAngle.Split(" ")
			
					Select Case angle(0)
					Case "Cut" 
						If angle(2) <> 90 Then 
						needAngle = 90 - Convert.ToDouble(angle(2))
						oReferDoc.PropertySets.Item(4).Item(oName).Value = "Cut Angle " + needAngle.ToString + " deg"
					End If
					
					Case "Miter" 
						If angle(1) <> 90 Then 
						needAngle = 90 - Convert.ToDouble(angle(1))
						oReferDoc.PropertySets.Item(4).Item(oName).Value = "Miter " + needAngle.ToString + " deg"
					End If
                	End Select
				End If
            Next 
        End If	 
	Next   


Maybe someone can help, thanks a lot!

Yes, if you take a look in the programming text, the rule is only prepared to interact with the parameter "CUTDETAIL".

If you need  interaction with other parameters, the rule must be upgraded.

[jacobssteven77]

'Miter' is also included :

Select Case angle(0)
					Case "Cut" 
						If angle(2) <> 90 Then 
						needAngle = 90 - Convert.ToDouble(angle(2))
						oReferDoc.PropertySets.Item(4).Item(oName).Value = "Cut Angle " + needAngle.ToString + " deg"
					End If
					
					Case "Miter" 
						If angle(1) <> 90 Then 
						needAngle = 90 - Convert.ToDouble(angle(1))
						oReferDoc.PropertySets.Item(4).Item(oName).Value = "Miter " + needAngle.ToString + " deg"

With the same code but an odd result in parts list
