Hello all,
I'm looking for a rule to help turn off and/or on iMate visibility with an iLogic rule.
I use iMates to insert hardware assemblies in the main assembly and almost every time they turn back on at some point after placing and constraining them in the assembly.
So we have an assembly with a Bolt, Washer or two, and a Nut. We place an insert iMate on the head of the bolt and sometimes on the nut or t-nut depending on the use. We then place it in an assembly, turn iMate visibility on by selecting many hardware assemblies at once and then constrain them using the iMate to the holes in the boards and the iMate visibility turns off. Then later on for some reason it turns back on and turning them off can't be done by selecting them all at once.
We also use iMates on individual parts such as screws and alike.
I would like to have a rule that would do this for me so that I can turn on all iMate visibility through the main assembly components and then later turn them back off. What would be ideal and awesome is to have a message box pop up and ask if I want to turn iMates On or Off.
I should also mention we are starting to use iParts and Assemblies for some of our hardware and would like the rule to work with them as well or a separate rule for them if needed.
Please help, this has been so frustrating for me and everyone in my department.
Thank you so much for your time and any help you can provide, it's very much appreciated.
