I wrote a bit of code to help with finding the name of objects in Inventor and I thought I would share it with you.
The rule is very simple, it reports the current selection set back to a message box, or in simpler terms, it tells you what you have selected in the graphics window.
It works in parts and assemblies, and will report on Parts and features
The Video above shows the code in action (there is no Audio)
The code looks like this:
‘---------START OF ILOGIC CODE-------------------
'Rule to name the selection Set
For Each oObject In ThisDoc.Document.SelectSet
Cadline_Community_iLogic = 1
Thing = oObject
If TypeOf oObject Is Face Then
Cadline_Community_iLogic = 0
End If
If Cadline_Community_iLogic = 1 Then
MessageBox.Show(Thing.Name, "Cadline")
End If
Next
‘---------END OF ILOGIC CODE--------------------
