iLogic For Beginners #5: Feature Suppression

[@mohammadrezashahparast1396]

Hi dear Tanx for ur education. Do u know how can i write the rule for adding the much more than once of components in assembly of one part then after run this rule, adding the component and ask me for name and copying it in assembly path as new part... Do u know what I said ? 😅 Tanx for ur helped 🙏🏽

Just want to say great video and subbed!

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

Much appreciated!

[@NguyenHuuLinh_]

thanks you very much. after following your guide. i can do it .you save my day!.

Hello! First of all, thank you for your videos! They are very helpful! Second, what is the advantage of using a feature suppression instead of a replace component in this same scenario?

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

No problem! I modeled this assembly in this manner so I wouldn’t have an extra file to worry about, only features. But replacing could work as well, if constrained properly

@@DesignAutomationSolutions Hi, friend! Please tell me how to make code and ILogic or a macro, so that in the drawing all dimensions that are less than a certain value (for example, 5 millimeters) have some kind of inscription (for example, “*”)? Thank you!

Hola amigo, por favor donde puedo leer para aprender a utilizar bien las variables de ilogic

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

Hola Manuel, yo aprendí por los forums in Autodesk. También tengo un curso pero está en inglés. Si estás interesado mándame un email para un descuento: felixcortes147@gmail com

I tried to perform the same operation and it throws me the message "No feature found with the name...", I already tried to change the name and avoid hyphens or spaces, but it keeps throwing me the same message, I'm using Inventor 2020, that's why ?

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

Hey Daniel, what’s the line of code that you are using? I am wondering if the program is trying to suppress the feature of the assembly and not of a part. The year of inventor would not matter in this case

[@danielru3832]

@@DesignAutomationSolutions I understand you, I was trying it with an .ipt piece, in the case of trying to do it with an assembly and pieces, how can it be done?

@@DesignAutomationSolutions Thanks, I saw in an Inventor forum that this is possible Component.IsActive("Part_name")=True ElseIf Suppress="No" Then Component.IsActive("Part_name")=False End If Thank you

@@DesignAutomationSolutions Hello, I already managed to make my assembly in iLogic and it works correctly, with a dialog box I change which pieces will be shown in the assembly, basically activate or deactivate as necessary, but when I place this assembly through "Place iLogic component" in another assembly, I get It throws the error that it can't find the .ipt files, specifically the ones that are active, which I'm missing, I hope you can help me, I can send you my files, if you'd like to see them, thanks

[@Nickgowans]

A bit of advice to viewers. If you want to apply features to your part which are dependent on the geometry of the parent feature every time you switched parts (in this case suppose you wanted to put a hole through the side of the round tube and square tube) you would see lots of errors, because the required geometry no longer exists, to get around this you will need to either; Create both features then unsuppress and suppress the features along with the parent geometry in the correct sequence Or how I like to do it is to make the new feature (hole for example) completely independent of the actual tube geometry and apply it to a common geometry (such as a work plane) which exists no matter which tube type is selected. For example the XY plane or perhaps a similarly related work plane. That way you could have 50 different features for the type of tube but only a single hole feature. You can then modify the position of this work plane if needed to change the hole depth or position ect.

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

Definitely! Thought needs to be put into how the features and sketches are created for those scenarios

[@henkjan7263]

umh you missing out how to make that form part? i have the code nothing happens. what did I miss?

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

I'll make a video today on how to make forms

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

Hey henk, watch my new video so you can learn how to make the form

[@KIMKim-ql8zx]

Thanks a lot!

[@DesignAutomationSolutions]

No problem!
