Only run Event Trigger Rules on "Active" document?

[Clo-z-nuff_2]

Hi All, 

I will try to explain my question as best I can.  I have an external ilogic rule written to go to the "Home" view and zoom extents in ipt and iam files.  It works perfectly if I run the rule locally.  I have an event trigger to run this rule "Before Save Document" for Parts and Assemblies in hopes the it reminds users to zoom all before checking into Vault.  In the rule, a Message box is used to allow the user to accept the rule and zoom out or ignore it, depending on the situation.  The problem arises when I save an assembly with ye' ole' files that think they need to be saved.  All of these files, because of the Event Trigger, want to run the rule if I do a "Yes to All".  

Is there a way to ONLY run the rule in the file that is open and still have an active event trigger set?  I'm assuming that Inventor considers the file active if it is attempting to do a save in the background?

Hope this makes sense.  I also had this same thing happen on another rule a couple of years ago and ended up removing the event trigger because I could not figure out how to get around it.

Thanks!

what event trigger are you using?

• the document events trigger
• the application event trigger.

please show me in the ilogic box

@bradeneuropeArthur I am talking about the application events trigger.  Is this what you are looking for?

You better use the vault API in case you use Vault workgroup or Professional.

This does not require save.

It has a pre check in event that will help you with this issue.

I can create you an addin for this if you need.

The events you show are document events when I am correct.
