Using iLogic to Configure a Sheet Format in an Autodesk Inventor Drawing

This video shows how you can use iLogic to selet the border and title block, as well as choose sheet size in an Autodesk Inventor drawing. iLogic reduces the number of picks required, making the process faster, and less error prone

Select case... Case... Case... ... End select I think this option would be easier to write down :). I prefer it over using multiple else if.

Great suggestion!

Jonathan, great tutorial, thank you. Is there also a line of code that can be added to change the sheet orientation from landscape to portrait when selecting a new titleblock and border? Lunchbox

Hi, thank you for posting this. I have a little question about this, I hope you can help me: I used the same structure that you used here to change the Sheet Metal Rule of a piece, and it works, but the problem comes when I run this Rule from an iLogic Form, it shows an error and it doesn't change the Sheet Metal Rule. I noticed that the Thickness of the material changes before Inventor shows the dialog box, but when I choose an option and click OK it shows the error. What can I do?

Question, So did you have to create an individual Title Block for each sheet size??? In my case, I have created a title block using the sheet size A and every time I change the sheet size, it shrinks. Is there a way to prevent this? We only print in letter size paper in this office. We always prefer to drop in the views of a part to a 1:1 scale but most of the time, that won't work with our small sheet size A, so then I use the larger ones but my title block stays small and of course since we print small paper, it makes it harder to read. The dimensions also stay the same size and thus they too become hard to see.

Jesus, Thanks for your question. Yes you do create individual title blocks for each sheet size for the most part. Creating templates for those larger sheet sizes can definitely help, as you would only need to create the other title blocks only a single time. -Nigel

I would guess that we're looking at some sort of syntax error. Have you tried posting at mcadforums~dot~com? There are some pretty knowledgeable folks there! ~Jonathan Landeros
