iLogic methods in a class

[NachitoMax]

Hi

keeping things organised, i moved some code to a Public Class. I instantiate the application and pass in the document being used but im hitting an issue.

iProperties.Value(ComponentODocName, SetName, PropertyName) obviously works in sub Main() level but not in Class level. Ive tried adding the doc to the front but nothing.

what is the magic code required for this in a class?

thanks

could you share the code?

Hi guys.  I believe this is like most cases where you want to be able to use 'Rule Objects' within other resources.  I believe the 'iProperties' object is essentially a local variable of type Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces.IiProperties Interface, which has already been assigned a value for us behind the scenes.  To use it else where, we would usually need to 'pass' that iProperties variable to the other resource, one way or another.  You could have local variable within your other Class with its Type set to Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces.IiProperties, then set that 'input' object as its value whichever way you want, then you should be able to use that local variable.  But I believe there may be at least one or more other more base iLogic objects that could be sent to 'another' resource that would provide a broader or more dynamic benefit, such as the iLogicVb or InventorVb objects (both are the same thing).  You can use its CreateObjectProvider to create an IStandardObjectProvider, which can then be used as a basis for most of the other common and uniquely iLogic objects used in standard snippets.

I don't do ilogic that often, I'm more a vb guy and while they are similar, they are not.

It's not a biggie, I just ditched my class and promoted my functions up a level.

Thanks for replying

You can use VB only in rules.

Make it easier to convert to addin.

Programming a addin gives you more flexibility and more possibilities. I think ilogic is meant to be used for product configurations....
