[iLogic] 'rebuild all' error

[matroosoft]

Am trying to perform a 'rebuild all' on the active (assembly) document using iLogic, using:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild()

It returns "incorrect parameter. Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))". Also tried to use 'rebuild2', but that gave the same error. What am I doing wrong?

What version of inventor are you using?

[matroosoft]

Inventor 2015

[bradeneuropeArthur]

what happens when you manually rebuild all?

[HermJan.Otterman]

what happens if you try this:

 ThisDoc.Document.rebuild

[matroosoft]

If I manually click 'rebuild all' then the model rebuilds without any error.

[matroosoft]

                what happens if you try this:

                [code]

It returns the same error if I use that.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

could you please provide the complete coding?

This is the complete coding:

try this:
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Save
'And then:
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild()

[matroosoft]

Already tried that, but that didn't make any difference unfortunately.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Your assembly is only containing subassemblies?????????

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Change to this:

assDoc.Update
assDoc.Save
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

[matroosoft]

               Your assembly is only containing subassemblies?????????

Yes and one of them is patterned using a component pattern.

                Change to this:

                [code]

The 'update' part doesn't perform a rebuild on the model or am I wrong?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

For me it worked.
I have not the same assembly as you have, but this works at least.

[matroosoft]

For me it doesn't work. Have tried using a save command, which rebuilds the model as well, but saving the assembly is undesirable. I thought if there is a method 'rebuild' or 'rebuild2' at least one of them should work. Anyone else who can point out why it isn't working?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Hi,

Can you please check the following:

put this piece of code in your assembly file in I logic:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild()

then put this piece of code in your assembly file in VBA:

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild()

then please provide me the information if it works in both environments or not 

[matroosoft]

I've just tested that in VBA, but didn't know how to write the surrounding code. The single line didn't work, it gave me a compile error.

I've found something interesting though: I tested the line in a iLogic rule when I opened the concerning assembly without changing anything, and then it worked. Then I tried the same rule after running a configurator plugin (which we use for this assembly). This configurator changes a few parameters of my assembly to default values if I run it. I ran the configurator, then the same iLogic rule didn't work anymore (it gave the aforementioned error).

Is there something known which would prevent running the 'rebuild' method?

Edit: found that it has something to do with the complete iLogic rule that I've posted earlier. After running that iLogic rule the rebuild method gives an error. The complete iLogic rule is also triggered by the configurator plugin we use so that's why the rebuild method wouldn't run after running the configurator either.

Edit 2: Found the problem:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

    ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Save
    ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild()

This combination doesn't work. Save2 method neither. Don't ask me why, but removing the line which saves the document, solves the problem. In this case that line isn't necessary so as far as I am concerned it is solved. But this behaviour seem to me as unintended? Maybe a little bug?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

For VBA place this in a new module:

Public Sub reb()

Call ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Rebuild
End Sub

please let me know the outcome...

[matroosoft]

Thanks, tried it but gave the same results as in iLogic code. In a fresh started assembly it does work, but after using the iLogic code to save the document, the same VBA code doesn't run (it gave a invalid argument error).

Edit: I've also tested if I could manually click 'rebuild all' after using the iLogic save method, but then Inventor freezes (and doesn't come back to life).

Another edit: After the configurator plugin has suppressed/unsuppressed a few items and changed some values the rebuild method again doesn't work. Even with the line with the save method removed. Manually clicking 'rebuild all' does it's job, though it first asks if I want to save the document.

Edit 3: weird stuff happening. After manually rebuilding, the iLogic rule runs again without any error. Until I use the save method or the configurator changes a few things. Then the iLogic rule will give an error again.
