iLogic Enhancements (What's New in 2027)

Learn about new iLogic improvements in this release of Inventor.

In this release of Inventor, a new visual programming interface, based on Blockly, is added to iLogic. The new Codeblocks editor is a web application integrated as a dockable window.

Use the different categories to build the code you want to use. Clicking a codeblock gear icon displays modifiers for that codeblock.

Create new rules

The existing Add Rule commands opens a Rule Naming dialog where you select the editor:

  • Codeblocks (ON by default)
  • Text editor

Convert the rules

Right-click a rule and select Convert to text option to convert a Codeblocks rule to a text rule. Note, a text rule cannot be converted back to a Codeblocks rule.

Edit Codeblocks rules

Within the Codeblocks editor, clicking on any category displays all blocks related to that category.

Drag blocks to the workspace area to create and design rules.

Use the Run command in the lower right to verify that the rule works as designed.

Use the Options tab to configure the font and color theme for the Generated code area and the blocks font.

Use Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus to zoom in and out or the mousewheel. Ctrl+S saves the rule in case of any changes.

For more information see About Codeblocks in iLogic.
