Model Browser

The Model tab in the bottom pane brings model information next to the rule you are editing. It shows a browser tree on the left and the active document's model, user, and reference parameters on the right.

Model data loads only when you request it. Open the tab and click Refresh Model the first time, then use the refresh button whenever you want to read the latest state from Inventor. Large branches load as you expand them to keep the initial view responsive.

Insert model data

Double-click a named model item or drag it into the editor to insert its name at the cursor. Parameters behave according to the active rule type:

• document rules insert the parameter name directly;
• external rules insert Parameter("Name").

The parameter table also shows each parameter's current equation.

Capture Current State

Right-click a supported node and choose Capture Current State to insert iLogic code that recreates or records its current state. Available actions depend on the selected item and document type:

• part features and sketches capture active state and related parameter values;
• parameter groups capture their current equations;
• assembly constraints capture active state and, when their entities can be resolved, Constraints.Add... code;
• component occurrences capture Components.Add code and can include their constraints;
• component patterns capture active state and Patterns.Add code.

Right-click the document heading to capture the supported state for the whole document.
