iLogic rules not found on ipart

[rederle]

Hi,

I wrote an iLogic rule (called Calcolo_Volume_dm3) to convert Volume from mm^2 to dm^3

(an custom iproperties called VOLUME_dm3 is writting)

Dim oValue As String = (Format(Round(iProperties.Volume / 1000000, 3), ".00"))
If oValue < 1 Then 
	iProperties.Value("Custom", "VOLUME_dm3") = "0" & oValue
Else
	iProperties.Value("Custom", "VOLUME_dm3") = oValue
End If

is't working well;

problem is just when I generate some ipart...if I open that one it gave me an error like:

"rules activates from ilogic events

RunRule: impossibile found a rule named "Calcolo_Volume_dm3" in that document"

I try to bypass that problem putting an external rule called "Calcolo_Volume_dm3" but it still not found

Have you some ideas to remove that error??

thanks

Is the rule (or the trigger to run the external rule) in the iPart 'factory' file (the 'master' iPart document, used to generate other 'slave' iParts), or is in in one or more of the 'slave' iPart documents?  There is a difference.

Also, when you are using the call "iProperties.Volume" in that rule, it will be attempting to retrieve that Volume from the 'active' document.  If the target iPart document isn't the 'active' document when that rule is ran, it won't work like you want either.  There are other ways to get the Volume of a model, that may be more stable, depending on your situation.  There is a specific iProperty called "Volume" in the "Design Tracking Properties" property set, you can access the long way (Document.PropertySets.PropertySet.Property.Value), and there are is the 'MassProperties' object, which has a 'Volume' property, which is normally found within the component definition of a model document.

ipart member have disabled commandtypes. I think therefore it will be no go to add ilogic code to the members!

[rederle]

yes, it's in ipart facotory; I think is not possible to put a rule inside the ipart member...

I can share my file if you want to have a look

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Think that is correct.

You cannot put code in an I part member!

I think to found the issue;

problem is not inside iLogic rule but is on trigger; 

I think I have to set trigger rule not in "this document" but manage it with an external rule and put the external rule on all "parts / assembly"

additionally, ipart members already generate with ilogic rule set on "this document" must be delete and re-generate with the external rule set on parts/assembly
