Q) Working together iLogic Form and Rule.

[Anonymous]

Sorry about my English skills.

I am in trouble.

What i want to know about iLogic function..

I put the code on VBA. the code function to make a custom button. it is working.

but, what make me in trouble is..

I made a? ?iLogicform.Showglobal("BOM") and also made a rule as well.

I seriously want to know how to the rule work automatically. when i put value in form and after click OK button.

There is my code about Rule

iLogicForm.ShowGlobal("BOM")

' Set a reference to the drawing document.
' This assumes a drawing document is active.
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

' Set a reference to the active sheet.
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

If (ThisDrawing.ModelDocument Is Nothing) Then Return
modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)
'read the values from the iProperties in the part file
'and apply them to the iProperties with the same name in the drawing

iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Category")=iProperties.Value("Summary", "Category")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Description") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Title")=iProperties.Value("Summary","Title")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Keywords") = iProperties.Value("Summary", "Keywords")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Status", "Status") = iProperties.Value("Status", "Status")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Designer")=iProperties.Value("Project", "Designer")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Status", "Eng. Approved By") = iProperties.Value("Status", "Eng. Approved By")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Project")=iProperties.Value("Project", "Project")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Summary", "Subject")=iProperties.Value("Summary","Subject")
iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Revision Number") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Question Summary.(Capture)

When i put some Value in BOM and then push OK or Apply button (3). then It should be put the ("value") in (4).

but it is not working. if i push button (1) again then it is working..

I want to know how to work that function without push the button (1) again.

The reason you are having to press the button twice to see the change is because  the  rule needs to run to update. 
2 ways

1. Manual update.

Create an update/refresh button on  the form and place the rule as this button.

2. Auto update :

Place an events trigger to run  rule before save. This will update the form.

Video of setting an event trigger.

And also using a rule to trigger the command (button) for model to drawing iproperties mapping.

Another global form.

Thank you. Alan

That is not exactly i wanted a answer. but It is also good for me.

Now, I am trying to change my process with EventTrigger.

I think that is possible to change for my program.

Thank you so much.
