iLogic Part 4 - Tips & Tricks

In Previous posts we have looked over the iLogic interface, iLogic parameter creation, and iLogic rule creation. For the last of our four iLogic posts we are going to look at creating one more rule and show some great features to use when rule writing. iLogic provides some good tools for saving snippets of code that may be reused amongst different designs and adding comments to the rule to better explain to others what is going on. Lets take a look!

iLogic Part 3 - iLogic Rules!

iLogic rules are used to manipulate design elements in a model based on different user input. The ability to write rules in iLogic adds endless possibilities to the way we can manipulate our designs. The iLogic interface for writing rules provides us with many of the functions, feature lists, etc. that are needed to quickly and accurately control the design. This makes it much easier to automate designs based on engineering criteria. Although many have found that some basic programming experience can go a long way, many will find that it is not required to get iLogic to do what you need it to do. We are going to look at creating some simple rules to change our fence design based on the iLogic parameters we created in Part 2.

iLogic Part 2 - Parameters are Key!

In my last post we took a look at the iLogic interface and some of the tools available to us. This week we are going to learn about iLogic parameters. Knowing how to create iLogic parameters is one of the first steps to effectively using the product for design automation. iLogic Parameters allow us to easily create Boolean, and Multi-value type parameters to control our models. These parameters tied to iLogic Rules will give designers, engineers, and maybe potential customers a quick an effective way to pick options with in a design.

iLogic Part 1 - It's Installed, Where is it?

After working with iLogic for a while now and answering a number of questions I thought it would be good to do some posts here to give people a little more exposure. iLogic is a great tool and offers all those interested in doing some design automation an effective method to do so. I have decided to do a number of posts over the coming Fridays to go over some of the basic principles and actions to create an effective iLogic model. This first post we are just going to dive into the interface. It seems like so many people were very excited about installing the tool, but then struggled a little finding out what the add in actually added in. So here we are going to take a simple look at iLogic and its different pieces.

iLogic Webcast Next Friday

Introduction to the new Autodesk Inventor ilogic

We will introduce the new subscription add-on download that can supercharge your Inventor models. iLogic extends the computational capabilities within Inventor to include rules. These rules work along with the parameter update mechanism of Inventor, and allow you to include much more sophisticated design intent into your models.

New Subscription Tool for Inventor Customers

The power that the recently acquired iLogic technology brings to the Inventor desktop is so revolutionary, Autodesk decided to make it available to every Inventor subscription customer.

Shattering the barriers to rules based designThe Inventor iLogic technology makes rules based design accessible to every Inventor user without any of the complicated barriers so prominent in competitive offerings of the past. With the iLogic technology for Inventor, rules are created graphically from native Inventor parameters and embedded directly into the Inventor data model for the ultimate in simplicity and portability.Download it from the subscription center TODAY!
