Ilogic - Add Standard Virtual Parts From a Text File Select Language
Powered by Translate

Issue:
You have a number of standard Virtual parts that you find yourself adding over and over. You'd like to About Me
have the ability to add them based on a predefined list.
Curtis Waguespack
I've used Inventor daily, “in the
trenches” of a real world
design environment. I've also
used AutoCAD and Inventor to
design a wide range of manufactured
products in the past. In addition to this real
world experience I’ve written and co
written multiple editions of the Mastering
Autodesk Inventor series and have taught
Inventor to professionals in the classroom.
I hope to share some of the useful tips and
tricks I've learned in the past and stumble
across in the future on this blog.

Solution:
Here is an example iLogic rule that will read a *.txt file and present the contents to the user in an input
box list. The user is then asked to enter a quantity for the virtual part, and then the virtual part
occurrences are added to the assembly. If one or more occurrences of the virtual part exist in the
assembly, the iLogic rule deletes them and just adds back the total number needed.

(update: see also iLogic - Add Standard Virtual Parts From an Excel File or a similar solution)
