Tips &
Tricks |
TIP - Utilizing the Action Recorder feature in
AutoCAD 2009 is a great way to streamline repetitive tasks. Accessible
through the "Tools" panel on the workspace ribbon, you can simply record
a macro of various commands and then execute the entire string with a
single click of your mouse button.

TRICK - Here’s good news for those of us who don’t have $4,300 USD
conveniently located underneath our SpacePilot 3D mouse controller…
Autodesk has recently acquired the original technology of the acclaimed
iLogic system from Autodesk Authorized Developer Logimetrix, Inc. (who
previously offered the rules-based design system for just that)
and has made the feature available for download through their
Subscription Center. Exclusively available for Autodesk Inventor
Subscription customers through the Subscription Center (http://subscription.autodesk.com
), customers can now download and utilize the rules-based plug-in to
easily create and edit objects based of their own defined parameters.
To help explain some of the many benefits of
utilizing the Inventor iLogic feature, we are going to use the example
of declaring a rule that will control the quantity and diameters of bolt
holes that are created depending on the overall length of a bracket.
For instance, let’s say the bracket’s overall length is 8”, the
iLogic parameters will be referenced and two bolt holes will
automatically be created and placed with the declared diameter of .125”.
If we then modify the length of the bracket to extend to 16”, then two
additional bolt holes of .125” will automatically be created at equal
spacing referencing off of the first holes location. If that
wasn’t enough, iLogic allows you to automatically create ribs, add
additional support beams, and even alter an entire structures material
if its load exceeds a certain weight. Essentially, using the iLogic system allows you to create and
modify objects on the fly by utilizing a series of “IF–THEN” statements,
saving you both time and effort.
For those readers who currently have an existing
Autodesk Subscription Center account and would like additional
information regarding this new plug-in, you can access the Inventor 2009
iLogic page where you can download the iLogic Feature plug-in, access
tutorial PDF files, and view a Windows Media Player presentation using
the following link:

Autodesk Subscription Center and would like to view more information
