Rule to switch between view reps and switch between levels of detail

[ASchlaack]

Can I please get a rule to switch between view reps and levels of detail?

Example of how I'll use it:

Select Case Paremeter
   Case = 1
      View Rep = View 1
Next
   Case = 2
      View Rep = View 2
Next

End Select


OR


Select Case Paremeter
   Case = 1
      Level of Detail = Level 1
Next
   Case = 2
      Level of Detail = Level 2
Next

End Select

API Help. RepresentationsManager.

It would be way faster for you if you actually learned how to use the other resources and weren't completely dependant on forums/ just plain old lazy.

I use that, I post on here what I can't find out on my own.

My advice is to test your ideas with representations in the Inventor VBA invironment that is good for the debugging. Then you may quite easily migrate your code to iLogic.

Here is the vba code snippet that prints the list of the available LODs and then activates one of them existing LODs:

Sub ChangeLOD()

    Dim oAsmDoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument
    Set oAsmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    ' Get assembly component definition
    Dim oAsmDef As Inventor.ComponentDefinition
    Set oAsmDef = oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition
    
    Dim oRepMgr As RepresentationsManager
    Set oRepMgr = oAsmDef.RepresentationsManager
    
    Dim oLODs As LevelOfDetailRepresentations
    Set oLODs = oRepMgr.LevelOfDetailRepresentations
    
    Dim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
    For Each oLOD In oLODs
        Debug.Print oLOD.name
    Next
    
    Dim name As String

    Dim n As Integer
    n = 2

    Select Case n
        Case 1
            name = "BOTTOM"
        Case 2
            name = "TOP"
        Case Else
            name = "Master"
    End Select
    
    Set oLOD = oLODs.Item(name)
    oLOD.Activate
    
    Beep
End Sub

Cheers,
