How to suppress parts in assemblies using Inventor iLogic?

Setting the Level of Detail with iLogic

iLogic requires a custom Level of Detail (LoD) before it can perform an operation that suppresses a component. If a custom LoD is not active or one does not exist you will get an error message. I get a lot of enquires about this dialog box and how one can avoid the hassle.

First create a rule called “LoD” and populate with the following code:

Dim doc as AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
Dim oAsmCompDef As ComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = doc.ComponentDefinition

Try
oLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Item("iLogic").Activate(True)
Catch

Dim nLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentation
nLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Add("iLogic")
oLOD = nLOD
Finally
oLOD = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.LevelOfDetailRepresentations.Item("iLogic").Activate(True)
End Try
