Create files with iLogic

[Neil_Cross]

Does anyone have any old code which they could kindly share which does something remotely close to the following:

I want an iLogic dialog box/form which will create an assembly structure of new files.

The new files created will use a numbering scheme from Vault.

User can specify how many sub levels are in there.

Option to input iProperty description during the process.

i.e. Give me a new assembly with 12 sub-assemblies, and it will create the empty physical files like this...

Anything remotely close to that would be a great start

Thanks very much,

Neil

Simply put, yes. Kind of:

An old project I worked on provided us with pdf files of legacy drawings and a spreadsheet of the metadata associated with each. I wrote a tool which populated a top-level assembly with the child (Part/Assembly) documents as placeholder "disks".

After getting annoyed with having to manually replace the "disks" with previously vaulted files, I integrated it with Vault Professional so that (as we built a library of legacy parts) the tool would pull down previous work.

Is that similar to what you need?

Hi @Neil_Cross 

I know you've either solved this by now or thrown in the towel on it but I just stumbled across these rules:

https://github.com/koechlm/iLogic-Vault/tree/master/iLogic-Vault-QuickstartLibrary/Sample%20Rules%20...

I notice it requires a custom .dll for reasons unknown but the logic is sound otherwise. Perhaps @Markus.Koechl can explain what QuickstartiLogicLibrary.dll does beyond using the default Vault .dlls?  Scratch that, it seems QuickstartiLogicLibrary.dll adds a wrapper around the standard Vault API that makes it easier to work with and retrieve files from Vault.

🙂

I confirm that the library mentioned is a wrapper to share Vault API commands in "iLogic" syntax. In other words, to use an iLogic command "AddFile" or "Component.Add" a local file is expected.

Go to the download section as there are PowerPoint documentation, sample codes for each library function and also snippets for fast coding.

To retrieve numbers is not part of the library yet, but #1 priority for the next update early April time frame.
