Inventor 2017 – iLogic – Quickly Show Form in Sub-Component

This is one for those slightly further along on their Inventor iLogic journey.

If you’re building up assemblies or layouts where the sub-components contain iLogic rules and intelligence, and you want to easily access that without having to manually edit each component, here’s the simple solution. Use the iLogic code linked here – when you run the rule it’ll prompt you to select a component in the assembly, and then it’ll bring up the iLogic form for the assembly you’ve selected. Valuable seconds saved!

How CQi Automates CAD Deployments and Reduces Risk

05 September 2025

In modern Architecture, engineering, construction and design environments, the pressure is on IT teams to deliver fast, consistent, and secure software setups. Whether you're supporting ten users or ten thousand, manual installation methods simply can’t keep up with the demands of large-scale CAD environments. That’s where CQi (Configuration Intelligence)steps in. At Symetri, we developed CQi to help organisations automate CAD deployment, reduce risk, and maintain standardisation—all without increasing the burden on IT departments. In this blog, we’ll explore how CQi works and why it’s becoming a go-to solution for smarter CAD management.
