Apply iLogic rules automatically to all opened files

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I work as IT guy for a small company with 7 Inventor workstations, recently we have upgraded all wks to Inventor 2018, previously we used Inventor 2013 with two external iLogic rules, these rules were triggered by the save event and export the file to PDF and DXF to a separate shared folders, I've already updated the rules to make them compatible with Inventor 2018, now we want to add a third rule (to export the drawings to the STEP format) and we are facing the issue that the users should add this rule to all drawings... so I'm here to ask:

1. There's a way to automatically add these rules (to the Save trigger) to all files that the users open with Inventor 2018? I would like to minimize the user's interaction.

2. Is it possibile to map these rules with an UNC path (\\servername\Inventor2018_rules\rule_pdf.txt) instead of a local path (C:\Inventor_rules)?

Thanks for you help,

Cristian

I haven't had cause to use or even link to it in ages, but @MegaJerk's iLogic injector might be the best way to go. You can find it here:

NOTE: It's probably long overdue an update!

For newly-created drawings store the rule externally and include a trigger in the drawing template.

Thanks! the Injector still works on Invetor 2018, it must be run as Administrator under Windows 10.

I've done some test on 3 files and it works fine.
