Automated Assembly Generation with iLogic | Autodesk Virtual Academy

Cameron, at 17:52, you hand type the offset of 1 inch, but is it possible to have that dimension or all of the dim's (x offset, y offset, z offset) pulled from the parameters of another part?.. example, instead of hand typing a 1inch offset, could that 1 inch offset be tied to the 1 inch dimension within the _Chassis.ipt file, that way if that file updates, so does this code?

This is a great video, it has an example for almost everything!

Capture Form Inputs and Generate BOMs? Like I have an design and in which I have 80 different variation and also I have created ilogic form for configuations. But If I select BOM it is giving same for all. but i want it for different material or different length bolt. please advice me for this.

Is there a way to define folders in a generic fashion maybe related to the vault working folder, so the ilogic will work on different computers and for different users?

Ahsoka, the best developed character in Star Wars (referencing the Clone War animated series)! Thanks for this video Cameron, is there a place we can go to "request" Virtual Academy topics?

How can I place Content Center part that got Custom column fe Pipe with "length" to type in form??

[@indrakumarcm]

Can I do this on Profesional 2018?

[@RayneDr0ps]

How would I go about this, Inserting a part that gradually changes in length the further right or left of center line. Let's say I have 60 blades of thin sheet metal that fit in a 60" diameter cylinder, each spaced 1" apart. However the next time, the diameter might be 72" and require 72 blades 1" apart?

Thanks for reaching out Stephanie. For what you described, a switch case could be useful for setting up multiple buckets of dependent parameters if not just regular if-then statements. Implementation may vary on your specific example of course, but feel free to reach out to [e-mail] for more help!

Hello, Is it possible to add iam files this new way? I don't think so.. but can it be added the old way?

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thank you for your question! - The Components.Add method works for part components (IPT) and assembly components (IAM). Everything demonstrated in this video works for either IPT or IAM files, except Components.AddContentCenterPart, which only places IPT (content center is IPT-only).

Dim = ? Still baffled by this syntax...

[@WillEhrendreich]

its thought of as "Dimension", as in , dimension out a plan to have this data stored. yeah it's bonkers. you'd think like.. Var or something.. if they were going to make it a one trick pony keyword.. but no... its dim.. very very dim.. lol. I much prefer C#'s way of actually SAYING what the variable type is as you go, so you don't have all the useless extra typing. welcome to VB!

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thank you for your question. - As Will said, Dim is the Visual Basic keyword for creating a new variable. In your iLogic rules, you can actually leave out the Dim keyword entirely and it will work (for example, myTestVariable = "Hello"). In the demonstrated rule, except for the first line where a new variable is created explicitly as the 'String' type, every instance of Dim was added automatically by using the built-in snippets.
