iLogic Design Copy dialog box

Use this dialog box to define the source files to copy.

Access:

Ribbon: Tools tab iLogic panel iLogic Design Copy
Note: This ribbon panel is only available when there is no part or assembly file open in Inventor.
Source Project Select the Source Project containing the documents to copy.
  • Select the project from the drop-down list of available .ipj files. This list is generated from the project files located in your ..\Users\username\Documents\Inventor directory.
  • If the project is not listed, click Projects and choose a project from the Projects dialog box.
Important:
  • Selected project must contain a workspace definition.
  • Only files contained within the project workspace can be copied.
  • Linked documents located outside the workspace are reused in the destination project/document copy.
Files to Copy Select the documents to copy.
  1. Select the root assembly document first (recommended). All linked documents are selected automatically (including OLE linked documents).

    A square in the check box indicates that at least one file is selected under the node.

  2. Select any non-linked documents (Inventor or non-Inventor files) to include in the copy set.
Important:
  • Manually select Inventor documents to copy that are not linked to the root assembly being copied. These documents are most often required because rules refer to them as file alternates in the Component.Replace function.
  • Be sure to select any non-linked, non-Inventor documents required by the rules involved in the design template so that rules fire successfully in the copied documents.
  • Checking or clearing folder nodes causes all folders and documents below them to be checked or cleared.
  • Linked Documents residing outside the project workspace are reused (document copies retain links to them) rather than copied. There is currently no way to preview linked documents outside the workspace of the project being copied.
  • It is a best practice to locate iFactory (iParts, iAssemblies, iFeatures), library, and Content Center files outside the workspace of the project being copied. It is recommended that you only include in the project workspace folder, files that require copying (because they belong to the iLogic design template).
  • The directory structure of the copy set is preserved in the destination copy.
