Work with forms

Create a form

Create and connect a custom user interface to the parameters, properties, and rules of an Inventor part, assembly or drawing document.

Create a global form

A global form is stored for use across multiple documents.

Use a form

Use the forms to control and modify the model. The form can be:

• Modal - while the form displays you can only interact with the form.
• Non-modal - while the form displays you can interact with the model, other controls and tools.

Edit a form

Edit an existing form to add, remove, or modify controls.

Copy and paste a form

Copy and paste an existing form within the same document, to another document, or to the Global Forms tab.

Delete a form

Delete a form when it is no longer needed. Right-click in an empty area of the iLogic Browser tab to display the Forms and Rules Editor where you can delete a form.

Use images

Add static images to the form or set up images to change based on a parameter value.

Resize controls

CAUTION:

if you edit the form later, controls revert to default sizes.

Add or edit controls on the iLogic Browser

• Add controls to trigger rules directly on the Forms or Global forms tabs.
• Organize controls into groups, tabbed groups, and rows.
• Modify the appearance of the controls.
• Add an image or tooltip to a control.
