VBA FOR RUNNING EXTERNAL RULES USING THE FILE LOCATION OF THE RULE

[Dean.kichenbrand]

Good Day I'm new to VBA and have played around with it a bit, I moved away from iLogic to VBA hoping for more ADVANCE Rules 

so What I want to do is make a VBA form to run my external rules but I need it to run the rules by using the file location of the rule. The reason for that is that I'm using a lot of rules and every time I restart inventor and start using my rules I have to run the rules manually Because it gives me an error that the rules weren't found. 

P.S if there is any other way around the problem that will also help.

Thank You

Dean

Hi,

My first idea is to program everything in VBA.

Don't mix those two VBA and Ilogic.

Or a better solution start programming your add-ins for inventor.

Question:

Why do you need to need to run illogic code from VBA?

And what is going wrong than?

[Dean.kichenbrand]

I would like to do everything in VBA but I'm pretty new to coding so at the moment so don't know how I am going to doe everting in VBA.

The Reason I want to Run iLogic rules with VBA is that I want to make a form in VBA That I can use so that I don't have to go and click a rule and select run

I have tried using the iLogic form but it very Limited.

Whats going wrong is that I know how to run external rule from VBA but when I run the rule it cant be found and then I need to go find the rule and run it manually and then it works, but when inventor restarts I have to go through the same process.

So what I need is to run the rule but using the location of the rule file so that it finds the rule every time.
