Event Triggers using iLogic

If you have been using iLogic or thinking about adding the functionality into your Autodesk Inventor usage you need to be aware of event triggers within iLogic.

Event triggers allow you to run rules based on specific events that occur in Inventor documents (parts, assemblies, or drawings). You choose an event and the rules to trigger for that event. You can select rules within the document and external rules.

Several types of document events can be used to trigger rules:

  • When a new document is created.
  • After a document is opened.
  • Before a document is saved.
  • After a document is saved.
  • Before a document closes.
  • When any model parameter is changed.
  • When an iProperty is changed.
  • When the feature of a part is suppressed or unsuppressed.
  • When the geometry of a part is changed.
  • When the material of a part is changed.
  • When a component of an assembly is suppressed or unsuppressed.
  • When a component of an iPart or iAssembly is changed.
  • When a drawing view is changed.
