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!
