AutoCAD Ten-Year Skills Evolution
Take a look at the last ten years of evolution in Autodesk AutoCAD and learn how you can gain a good understanding of where the new features can fit into your current CAD work.
In January 2020, Excitech was acquired by Addnode Group, the owner of Symetri, Europe’s leading provider of software and services for design and engineering activities.
Excitech has now become Symetri, operating as one company since the beginning of January 2021. Please rest assured it is business as usual for us and your service experience will not be impacted.
This blog post explains how to change specific components in Autodesk Inventor instead of bulk editing every sheet metal component in the entire assembly.
I previously posted some iLogic code to automatically change the sheet metal rule in every sheet metal component in the assembly. A forum user has requested the ability to pick specific components to change, instead of bulk editing every sheet metal component in the entire assembly.
Watch the video below to find out how to change specific components.
Note: the below video was created by Excitech prior to becoming Symetri in January 2021, following its acquisition by Addnode Group. All Excitech products, services and solutions mentioned in this recording are available through Symetri.
You can download the requested iLogic rule here.
If you’re interested in learning how the code works, please read below:
We can see that 9 components succeeded in the screenshot above, and 1 failed. Why would it fail?
The best thing to do is to manually open the component(s) that have failed and try applying the sheet metal rule manually – this will highlight what the issue is.
