Run iLogic rule from an external part file.

[meck]

I have a solid body part file that holds data for all the parts derived from it. I want to run a rule in one of the derived part files from the solid body part. Is this possible? I did a search for this but couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance!

'''Run ilogic rule in file

'define path and name
Dim sFilePath As String 
sFilePath = "C:\TEMP\777.ipt" 

'name of ilogic rule
Dim oRuleName As String = "TestRule" 

'open the file invisibly
oFile =  ThisApplication.Documents.Open(sFilePath, False) 

'define the ilogicAutomation
Dim iLogicAuto As Object 
iLogicAuto = iLogicVb.Automation 

'get the rule
Dim oRule As Object 
oRule = iLogicAuto.GetRule(oFile, oRuleName) 

'run the rule
iLogicAuto.RunRuleDirect(oRule) 

'close the file
oFile.Close

do you have a code for the File location? 

that the file location is always the location of the file that u use?
