In a rule, you can read and write the list of values for a parameter using the multi-value functions. Examples include:įor multi-value or true/false parameters, the Equation cell features a drop-down list from which you can pick the current value (or equation for a numeric parameter). Autodesk ® Inventor ® 2018 is packed with amazing new features and improvements that deliver better productivity, faster performance, and expanded interoperability. You can also paste a list of values from a text editor or another application such as Microsoft ® Excel.įor a numeric parameter, the value list can include fractions or equations. Use the dialog box that displays to enter a list of values. Right-click on a parameter in any column, and select Make Multi-value to specify that the parameter can have multiple values. You create and edit multi-value parameters in the Parameters dialog box. It is not automatically locked to one of the values in the multi-value list, although you can accomplish that with a rule. However, like other parameters, a multi-value parameter has a single value at any one time. IProperties.Value("Custom","Passed") = boolean1Ĭonversely, you can also set iProperty values from text and true/false parameters: string1 = iProperties.Value("Project","Description")īoolean1 = iProperties.Value("Custom","Passed")Ī multi-value parameter is an Autodesk Inventor parameter with a stored list of possible values. The following is an example of the rule syntax: iProperties.Value("Project","Description") = string1 Boolean (true/false) parameters can be assigned to Inventor iProperties of type Yes or No.
String (text) parameters can be assigned to Inventor iProperties of type Text. The Boolean values of True and False do not use surrounding quotes. Examples include names of components and features in the Autodesk Inventor model.Īs mentioned previously, Boolean parameters can be True or False. Many iLogic functions contain string arguments, which are also put in quotes. In VB.NET, you surround string values in double quotes. Autodesk Inventor competes directly with SolidWorks and SolidEdge and less directly with Creo Elements/Pro, CATIA, and NX.
In a rule, these parameters represent the standard VB.NET types String and Boolean. Autodesk Inventor, developed by U.S.-based software company Autodesk, is 3D mechanical solid modeling design software for creating 3D digital prototypes. Autodesk Inventor, developed by U.S.-based software company Autodesk, is 3D mechanical solid modeling design software for creating 3D digital prototypes used in the design, visualization and simulation of products. Both types of parameters can be used in rules to drive Autodesk Inventor parameters or anything else that a rule can drive. Text parameters are strings that consist of text characters, and true/false parameters consist of a Boolean value of either True or False. In addition to standard parameters, you can create and edit text and true/false parameters in an Autodesk Inventor model.
Update Bill of Material information when model changes result in a new configuration.Read, write, and react to the material or appearance aspects of design documents, mass or volume of parts, and design parameters.Update and drive thread specifications automatically when a change occurs in a hole or rod size.Activate parts and assembly features, or assembly components and constraints, from rules using conditional arguments.Search for and change iPart or iAssembly configurations automatically based on conditional statements defined in rules at the assembly level.Office Online is not supported for use with Autodesk Inventor.Designers and engineers can implement iLogic automation functions with little or no programming experience.
