This list appears when you select Manage tab iLogic panel Event Triggers .

• New Document fires when a document is created from a template. For example, you can use it to prompt for iProperties values.
• After Open Document fires immediately after the document is opened, but before it displays.
• Before Save Document fires immediately before the document is saved. If you have a rule for this event, it can change the document and the changes are saved.
• After Save Document fires after the document is saved. Your rule can perform actions such as exporting the model to DWG or DWF, or other formats.
• Before Vault Check-In fires when checking files into Vault.
• Close Document fires immediately before the document closes. Do not change the document in a rule that is assigned to this event.
• Any Model Parameter Change fires when any model parameter changes. You can check the mass properties using a rule in this manner.
• iProperty Change fires when any iProperty (other than a Physical iProperty)value changes. This event does not trigger the rule if the iProperty is changed outside of Inventor (from Windows Explorer, Design Assistant, Vault, and so on). The rule does not trigger the next time you open the model in Inventor.
• Feature Suppression Change fires when any part feature is suppressed or unsuppressed. This event works only in parts.
• Part Geometry Change fires when the part solid or surface body changes for any reason. It is useful for performing actions that depend on measure functions or physical properties. This event only works in parts.
• Material Change is available only in part documents. If you have a rule for this option, it likely checks the material with statements such as If iProperties.Material = "Steel" Then ...
• Component Suppression Change fires when an assembly component is suppressed or unsuppressed.
• iPart or iAssembly Change Component fires when a Change Component operation (choosing a different row in the table) is performed for an iPart or iAssembly instance.
• Drawing View Change fires when a drawing updates due to changes in the model that is shown in a view. Typically, this update occurs when you activate a drawing (switch to the drawing window) after you have changed the model. The event is triggered once for the active sheet, no matter how many views are on the sheet.
