Inventor 2019 also delivers additional Help for iLogic functions from the iLogic API Reference help node (English only).

You can then write an iLogic rule to manage that constraint based on named geometry from multiple part options that can be added and deleted from the assembly based on design criteria. It is now very straightforward to capture the current state of a constraint. This is where the ease of use enhancements help drive the new functionality. This will allow for more capacity for larger and more complex iLogic powered designs. The new component management behavior in Inventor 2019 lets users add or delete parts and constraints from the top level assembly. This also meant that the top level assembly could be heavy due to all the parts and sub-assemblies. Historically, configuring a design with iLogic meant hiding, showing, suppressing and unsuppressing components and constraints. Inventor 2019 isn’t just about making it easier to get started with iLogic it is about adding more functionality to continue to make iLogic more powerful than ever before. With Capture Current State, users can now retain the state within their model for Components, Component Constraints, Constraints, and Patterns.

The ability to Assign Geometry Names allows users to define names for faces, edges or vertices in their models to aid in rule creation. Adding on to autocomplete and syntax colors delivered in Inventor 2018, 2019 delivers geometry naming and capture current state. Making iLogic easier helps new users start writing rules and helps experienced users be even more efficient when automating their models. With that in mind, Inventor continues to enhance iLogic in two ways: make iLogic straightforward to start using and continue to add powerful automation functionality. This is done for everything from creating a basic multi-select parameter to change a dimension value, to driving a complete assembly design with over 2,500 parameters. Ever since then, iLogic has been the heart of design automation for Inventor users.Ĭurrently, nearly 20% of Inventor users leverage iLogic for automation. iLogic has been in Inventor since acquiring Logimetrix in December of 2008. For Inventor users, this means using iLogic as a critical part of the design and engineering process. This means capturing rules and knowledge about the design workflow. One of the most powerful things you can do with your designs is taking advantage of automation.
