iLogic Course
This course begins individual topics with an introduction to programming and iLogic. Then, we begin to model an assembly so that we can apply and mix the individual topics in a real world example. We focus on iLogic snippets and include Inventor API for some of the complex file creation rules.
What to Expect
- 20 hours of programming content
- 100+ videos
- Introduction to programming methods
- Introduction to Visual Studio
- Examples of automation logic found in industry
- File & Drawing Creation
- Walk through of 3D modeling
Assembly Automation
Automate the creation of an assembly by having a user input parameter values and select settings.
Drawing Automation
Topics include drawing automation and best practices in what method to choose.
Code Provided
All of the code used to automate the desk assembly is provided along with commentary for guidance.
