Sample application featuring Inventor iMate Composites, iLogic Managed Assembly, and iLogic-Vault.
Inventor default allows interactive placement for a single iMate or matching all iMates on component placement. There is no option to interactively select different iMates on multiple instances of the same target. This addin changes the workflow:
- The component selected for placement initiates to list all matching iMate composites in an assembly
- users can select all in the list, or highlight individual ones in the graphics screen to decide
- Applying the selection builds an iLogic Managed Assembly group allowing
- returning to the placement of the same component at any point of time
- adding/removing placement locations/iMates
- Managed Assembly groups cascade
- if components stack and the primary component is removed, the stack removes
- if removed primary components of a stack are added again, the stack restores
- Inventor users logged in to Vault select components from Vault without any action to prepare the workflow
Minimum Inventor Release is 2025 - the code base is .NET Core 8.
