Rule: Iproperties completed before save

[Anonymous]

I'm looking to help fellow newbies in my department.

I want to have a rule that generates a "pop up" window when Iproperties aren't completed.

This will use the "before save" trigger.

I'm looking to include the following standard Iproperties:

-Part Number

-Stock Number

-Description

-Revision Number

-Project

-Creation Date

-Checked Date

-Eng. Approved Date

I would also like to include the following custom properties:

-Mark

-Remark

Thanks for all the help!

I already have an ilogic form created, if this would be easier to link into the coding.

The form is called "PROPERTIES"

I want to ensure that the entire form is completed before saving the document.

Something like this should give you an idea... All you should need to do is add in iProperty checks (and potentially a line to verify what file is being saved if you are planning on using global triggers, instead of Document based triggers)

boolPass = False
count = 0
Do
    iLogicVb.ShowForm("Properties")
    InventorVb.Update
    
    If iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") <> "" And _
       iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") <> "" And _
       iProperties.Value("Project", "Project") <> "" Then
     
       boolPass = True
    Else
       MsgBox("Not all properties have been filled in. Save not allowed until all iProps filled in!")
    End if
    
    count = count + 1
    If count > 10 Then
        MsgBox("iProp enforcement failed 10 times. Aborting rule")
        Exit Sub
    End if
Loop Until boolPass

Having errors on line 4 & 5 ...

That's unfortunate. They can usually be fixed with a bit of googling & some reading.
