Global form won't close with ilogic

[TechInventor20]

Hello,

We have a Global Form called "Print" that has a external rule as a button. We wan't to press the button and then run the rule and when the rule is done we need to close the global form. Unfortunate the rule

 iLogicForm.CloseAllForms()

does not work...

Could some help explaing?

Hi @TechInventor20.  I just tested the scenario you explained, and it worked OK for me.  I am currently using Inventor Pro 2024.3.3.

I edited one of my existing global iLogic forms, added a button into it for running a simple external rule that only shows the Document.DisplayName obtained from the ThisDoc.Document source, then contains that one line of code for closing all iLogic forms.  When first tested this, when I clicked the button, it would show that MsgBox containing DisplayName, then wait on my to click the OK button on that MsgBox, then it would close the form.  When I edited that external rule, and commented out that line of code that closes all forms, then tested again, and clicked the rule button, it showed the MsgBox, and when I click OK button on MsgBox, the form stays open.  All as expected.

What version/release/build of Inventor are you using?  Maybe this odd behavior was fixed in an update, not sure.  Would have to search within the online documentation that covers 'release notes' and/or 'fixed issues'.
