iLogic Rule to Automatically Bring in all Flat-Pattern Parts into Drawing

Hi,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me. Do I need some sort of iLogic rule if want to automate the process of bringing in all associated sheet metal parts of a specific assembly, i.e. If I were to bring in an assembly on the first page, can all the individual sheet metal parts (flat-pattern views) be automatically brought in on the adjacent pages? If so, does such an ilogic rule already exist out there?

 

Thank-you.

Yes. In fact, I have written similar routines in the past.

 

If you can do something through the UI, you can almost certainly program it to be done via VBA/Vb.net through Inventors API.

 

There are probably rules already out there on the forums, but I'm sure as heck not gonna sift through to find them for you. Good try and good luck! Smiley Very Happy
