Need a help with codes to control IDW files!

Hello,

I've one year experience on Inventor and Ilogic.

I have almost zero problems at 3D side but need help with 2D side.

I want to learn more and develop my skills on them.

Is there a source to get help and learn about ilogic?

There are some sources of it, but they're so superficial. Also can't find a something like a handbook.

Please help me to get more detailed information all about ilogic.

Thank you so much!

Hi @nesliJJ54P 

Based on my experience is it all "learning by doing". There is a vba course/document "my first add-in" where you can learn from.

Thank you for your attention but I think I need more specific more solid solution.

Thank you so much, I appreciate for your answers!
The link you sent looks a bit complicated.
I need more simplier way to learn, like "from a to z" or "zero to hero" model learning.
Do you have any suggestion for it too?

Thank you so much again.

Attached is a PDF I made a while back that explains a few basic things, then provides a bunch of useful links.  Unfortunately, there is not a super good one stop place for quickly and easily learning all there is to know about iLogic and how to get stuff done with it.  That is why this forum has become pretty popular.  The online (and locally installed) help documentation can help a little bit with object type descriptions and method explanations, but it does not provide much in the way of actual iLogic code examples or explanation of how to formulate your own iLogic rules for specific tasks.  There are several VBA macro examples, but that code often can not be used within iLogic rules, unless you convert it from VBA code to vb.net code (and of course, you must know how to do that).  There are also a bunch of personal 'Blog' websites that Inventor users post online about how to do stuff with iLogic or Inventor API code, which can be pretty helpful, because they usually take the time to fully explain everything to the best of their ability.  Something that is often lacking in 'official' documentation.

Let me/us support you on this than. After a while you will see that the files/turorials are not that complicated anymore.

Have no fear to dive. The only way to learn this is doing by practicing and find your  way yourselves. Somebody can guide you but, you need to do it. Really there will be no "one size fits all" and there will be no real guidance in means of a documentation that fits all. So let's start from the beginning. If you have programming cases we can take a look at together. let's see how far we come... further I can give you this tip: Start with VB.net and learn that. This way you will have more possibilities in future and you will automatically understand I-logic better. Have a look for Example on the site from @JelteDeJong.
Do you have any suggestion for it too?

Thank you so much again.

Hi @nesliJJ54P 

If your looking for starter articles look at Autodesk University ilogic also look on youtube and at people's/companies blogs and any article you can get your hands on. There is some fantastic contributors out there. The Mod the Machine Developers Blog is a great resource for the beginner right through to the Pro. For sure you will come across complex topics and say to yourself maybe in a few years but keep on trying and learning. 

For the beginner to intermediate

Navigating assemblies.

iProperties through the API 1

iProperties through the API 2 

Go Excel

Just start searching a few keywords of your task and go from there. Find a sample that works and test it and then break it down and start learning. 

This forum is also a fantastic resource, there is almost nothing that hasn't been covered in the posts. If you get stuck with a test example, start a new post link the example, post the code, ask a question and post also the error message your seeing.

Hi all,

Thank you so much again!

I see that there's a lot to learn

I'll start with VB.net, get some extra info from modthemachine, Autodesk University, etc.
This is an honor to enjoy this journey with you.
I'm sure I'll be back here again.
Have a nice day to all.
