Ribbon Commands Within A Rule

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I'm looking to access commands found in the Inventor Ribbon using iLogic/API.  (for example; I want to be able to open the "Create Base View" dialog box in a drawing by running a rule.)  If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hello, with this command activates the display of the center of gravity in a part or assembly.
for example

Dim oCommandMgr As CommandManager 
oCommandMgr = ThisApplication.CommandManager 

' Get control definition for the line command. 
Dim oControlDef As ControlDefinition 
 oControlDef = oCommandMgr.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppCenterOfGravityCmd")  
' Execute the command. 
oControlDef.Execute

In drawing file, with this command create a base view.
Differentiate the commands execute and execute2 (True), the second I use when I am in the middle of a pre-programming line, I want to execute the punctual command, and then I want to continue in the program line performing another action.

Dim oCommandMgr As CommandManager 
oCommandMgr = ThisApplication.CommandManager 

' Get control definition for the line command. 
Dim oControlDef As ControlDefinition 
 oControlDef = oCommandMgr.ControlDefinitions.Item("DrawingBaseViewCmd")  
' Execute the command. 
oControlDef.Execute2(True)
