add custom IF statement when BOM is created

[michielXWZ7U]

He guys,

I have a step file send to me which contains the same part names but different variations, for example step file named 'plate 1' which is alwatys 1 mm thick or 'plate 2' which is 3 mm thick.

my idea is to create something that when i make a BOM and the name of the part is:
'plate 1' it will set the thickness to 1

'plate 2' it wil set the thickness to 3

anyone has an idea how to add a 'if' statement or something similar to the BOM list.

with kind regards! M

I think this is good question for the iLogic/API forum instead.

Anyhow, if you are trying to do this automatically, I would say you can read your file name:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/controling-a-parameter-from-filename-in-ilogic/td-p/53...
and save it as a custom iProperty, which can be then used to make a custom column of your custom Parts List (BOM list) in the drawing.

You could use I logic to measure the bounding box of each part, take the smallest number and enter that as the thickness.
