Programmatically modifying iLogic form labels

[YvesGingras]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the label of an iLogic form parameter field. The idea being to use the same form for users reading different languages.

Thanks.

I don't think so.

But you can set the label to pull a parameter's value in the file, so that looks like it might be your only option -- to have the form labels based off of a parameter in the part/drawing/assembly, and change the value of that parameter based on the language settings.

MechMachineMan is right. The parameter way is kinda uncanny, as you'll need these parameters in every part/assembly you want to use it in.

If the form is somehow final, you're not planing changing it and the languages aren't many you can use this instead:

1) Finish your Form with one languange and save it as GLOBAL FORM.

2) Go to your DesignData folder and there to "iLogic\UI", standartly "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\Design Data\iLogic\UI".

3) Copy your form ("FormNameEN.xml") to something like "FormNameDE.xml"

4) Change the language in the new file.

5) Create a global rule that will open the form based on the Inventor's language settings.

Hi Justin, Mike

Thank you for replying...

Actually what i meant is changing the text of the "parameter" that comes by default with the parameter and that can be edited, not the label object available the iLogic form editor "toolbox". Sorry if I was not clear enough...

Also, there are many forms that I would need to duplicate...

So I started to work on a solution based on .NET to display forms and change controls text at runtime.

Thanks!

I think You came across the same issue as me.

I believe writing the forms in XML should do it.

the only problem I have is the <BitmapByteArray> it seems to be different all the time.

Just open a global form inspect in XML and then insert it Ilogic to write and re create them changing the parameters.

I think you can now easily write XML with ilogic
