Save Subassembly from iLogic in Master Level of Detail.

[Anonymous]

Hi All...

Used all day on this and it is driving me nuts 🙂

If I have a Main Assembly with a subassembly in it.

How can you have a iLogic go into the subassembly and change LOD to Master and save the file.

I can make it work with a custom LOD. But for some reason Master will not save.

Simple iLogic rule in Main assembly:

oAsembly = "C:\xxx\SubAssembly.iam"
doc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(oAsembly,False) 
auto = iLogicVb.Automation
auto.RunRule(doc, "MasterLOD")

Simple iLogic rule (MasterLOD) in SubAssembly :

oDoc = ThisDoc.Document

oDoc.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelofDetailRepresentations("Master").Activate

oDoc.Save

Any idea what is wrong.

Hi @Anonymous 

Welcome to the forum.

You should be able to do all of this from the top level assembly, without opening the subassembly. First get the occurrence name, then get the document from the occurrence definition, then you can set the LOD...

I had to "smudge" the document with dirty = true to force it to save though.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

oOcc = Component.InventorComponent("SubAssembly:1")

Dim oDoc As Document
oDoc = oOcc.Definition.Document
oDoc.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations("Master").Activate

oDoc.dirty = True
oDoc.save

.dirty = True was the trick 🙂

Thank you so much for that one.
