Retrieving parts informations into Assembly with Ilogic

[Anonymous]

Greetings everyone,

I've been looking around for this, although I found small pieces of solutions, mixing them did not work as expected haha.

Anyway here's my situation:

I'm currently in a Assembly. I have 3 parts in that said assembly. Thru Ilogic, I need to retrieve the part number and the description of each part into customs properties in the assembly.

Text exemple:

Assy1:

   - Part1

          a) Part number: XXXX

          b) Description : YYYY

   - Part2

          a) Part number: XXXX

          b) Description: YYYY

   - Part 3

          a) Part number: XXXX

          b) Description: YYYY

Thanks a lot

Hello GThibeault,

I will move this post into the Inventor customization forum as the ILogic questions are better served there to be answered. This is where the customization questions get better visibility.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already read that web page and tried the code, and no luck.

the command "SET" isn't supported anymore, and the .DisplayName get me an error saying the argument needs to be in between paranthesis...

[MechMachineMan]

The Set command isn't supported directly in iLogic because it is vba style.
Getting rid of the set would make it work perfect.

Try .displayname ()

Yes I removed the Set.

Here's a screenshot of the actual code

I tried to enclose the oRefDoc.DisplayName into paranthesis. No error from the console but when I run the rule, nothing happens.

I think the Debug.Print is for use in the Visual Studio/VBA environment.

If you are just coding in inventor, replace that line with

MsgBox(oRefDoc.DisplayName, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "TITLE OF BOX")
or simply MsgBox(oRefDoc.DisplayName)

in order to pop-up a window to see what is happening realtime

Oh god I look stupid... lolll

Well anyway, thank you, it is working so far!! Now I'll try to code the rest in order to achieve my goal!

Haha it's all good. Coding/ learning to code is definitely a struggle... especially if it is your first programming language as well.

Feel free to ask away if you get caught on anything else! I'm happy to help as long as a see effort being put it and not just someone expecting hand-outs.
