    Description

    Do you find that you have too many templates to manage? Are you struggling with keeping drawings and models up to your latest company standards? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this class is for you. Inventor iLogic and the API are powerful tools that can be utilized in creating your Inventor templates, along with managing your Inventor files by keeping them up to the latest company standards. In this class, we’ll create one template for multiple drawing sheet sizes and a part template, driven by iLogic rules. We’ll design and create external iLogic rules to check model standards, switch drawing styles, sheet sizes, dimension schemes, and a few other useful tools. This class will demonstrate how the power of iLogic can help you minimize the number of templates you need to create and maintain, along with forcing the user to input standard company iProperties. These iLogic programs will make model and drawing setup a breeze.
