List sheet names in iLogic Form

By Adam Nagy

You can get the list of drawing sheets from any language/environment that can use the Inventor API: .NET, VBA, iLogic, etc. If you want to store the last selection you could store that in a user parameter or iProperty, maybe an attribute. There is a series of articles on the possibilities:

If you want to show all the sheet names in the Form, then the easiest might be to use a Multi-Value User Parameter. 

1) Create a Multi-Value User Parameter (named e.g. Sheets) in the drawing document through Manage>> Parameters, and turn it into a Multi-Value parameter by right-clicking on it and selecting Make Multi-Value - you don't have to set the values, the below rule will do that

2) Create a rule that will keep the values of that parameter up-to-date: Sheets rule

Dim MyArrayList As New ArrayList
For Each s In ThisDoc.Document.Sheets
  MyArrayList.Add(s.Name)	
Next

MultiValue.List("Sheets") = MyArrayList

3) Create a rule that the user can run once selecting the sheet (in this case e.g. print): PrintSheet rule

' We are getting the value through "Parameter"' If we tried to get it from "Sheets" directly' then this rule would run every time' the value of that parameter changed
MsgBox("Printing " + Parameter("Sheets"), , "Print Sheet")

4) Create the Form that will have the Sheets parameter and the PrintSheet rule in it

Result of running the Print Form, selecting a sheet and clicking the Print button:
