Creating a Custom iLogic Trigger for Sheet Size Change

[SIG2942141]

Hello,

I have an Ilogic code that moves the revision block to the correct spot on our border.

Is it possible to trigger this rule when the drawing size has changed?

For example, if someone changes the drawing size from B to D I want to rule to be triggered.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the event triggers listed in the iLogic Event Triggers dialog box, are the only ones built-into the iLogic add-in right now, and although we can access these by code to add or remove a rule from an event, we don't currently have the ability to create and add new custom event triggers to the existing list.

To have something running in the background, listening for a specific event, then do something when that event happens, is most likely something that you would have to create an Inventor add-in for.

Working with some events using an iLogic rule is possible, but is much more limited.  For an iLogic rule to listen for and react to a document or application event, pretty much everything would have to happen while the rule is still running.  The event handler would have to be created within this rule. The event would have to be triggered while the rule was still running.  The rule would have to react to the event while the rule is still running.  And the event handler would likely need to be removed/destroyed again at the end of the same rule.

Yeah that's what I thought but was hoping there would be a way.

Thanks for the quick response!

A workaround would be to change the sheet by ilogic and also move the revision sheet in the same rule, then they will always be in sync with each other, although you would need to change border and title block and any contents as well.
