Vaak is het nodig om van je ontwerp een step export te maken. Bij een assembly met subassemblies en veel componenten kan het een tijdrovend werk zijn om alle bestanden apart te exporteren. Onderstaande iLogic routine laat je toe om alle exports met 1 klik te doen.
'This rule will create a STP file for each component in an assembly with the part number of the individual files as filename
'check that the active document is an assembly file
If ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then
MessageBox.Show("This Rule " & iLogicVb.RuleName & " only works on Assembly Files.", "WRONG DOCUMENT TYPE", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
Return
End If
'define the active document as an assembly file
Dim oAsmDoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oAsmName As String = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension
'get user input
Dim RUsure = MessageBox.Show(
"This will create a STEP file for all components." _

& vbLf & "Are you sure you want to create STEP Drawings for all of the assembly components?" _
& vbLf & "This could take a while.", "iLogic - Batch Output STEPs ", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)
