    Default Inventor iLogic CAD model to generate toolpath for specific CAD profiles , Not all

    Hello,

    Complete newbie, I'm using iLogic to configure a door stile (#hinges, inswing/outswing, length of door etc.) in the CAD environment. I have generated toolpaths for all the different configurations the CAD outputs. But when I regenerate the toolpath based on the iLogic, the entire .nc code for all the tool paths is posted instead of the ones selected by iLogic and are visible. Is there a workaround around this, to only post the G-code for configured profiles? Or Inventor CAM does not have this capability?

    Any help, much Appreciated.

    In the past what I've done is to copy the same complete cad file multiple times on the pc.
    So example if I have a cad file with 5 operations I would:
    Copy (duplicate) the file 5 times on the pc, so xxxx1-5
    Leave #1 tootlpath on cad #1 and delete the rest.
    On file #2 leave toolpath #2 and delete the rest.
    On file #3 leave toolpath #3 and delete the rest.. Etc...

    Then you can now post each toolpath individual.

    If you are already using iLogic, you could just suppress the operation using iLogic.

    AddReference "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor CAM 2023\R27\Autodesk.InventorHSM.Interop.dll"
    imports Autodesk.InventorHSM.Interop
    Sub Main()

    Dim addin As ApplicationAddIn
    addin = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{749E6 67C-2560-416A-A5E7-68B96FF997B1}")

    Dim api As Object
    api = addin.Automation

    Dim addinApi As InventorHSMAddinAPI
    addinApi = addin.Automation

    Dim hsmVersion As String
    hsmVersion = addinApi.Version

    Dim hsmEdition As HSMProductEditionEnum
    hsmEdition = addinApi.ProductEdition

    Dim hsmDocs As HSMDocuments
    hsmDocs = addinApi.HSMDocuments

    Dim docVersion As String

    Dim hsmDoc As HSMDocument
    hsmDoc = hsmDocs.Item(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument)
    docVersion = hsmDoc.Version

    '
    '
    Dim ops As HSMOperations
    ops = hsmDoc.AllOperations

    Dim op As HSMOperation

    For Each op In ops
    If op.Name.Contains("Test") Then
    op.Suppressed = True
    End If
    Next

    End Sub
