The purpose of this post is to try to stuff as much useful information and links to other useful
sources as possible, that will help us learn about Inventor's iLogic. Inventor's iLogic is actually an
Inventor ApplicationAddIn within Inventor made by Autodesk. It provides a coding type user
interface that allows users to access Inventor's API (Application Programming Interface) and other
objects within the application and models. The code window recognizes and uses the [Link]
programming language, however other code that is specific to the iLogic add-in and has been
published for user access is also recognized for use within. These iLogic specific codes (also known
as 'iLogic Snippets'), can only be used within the iLogic rule editor, and will normally not be
recognized within the VBA editor or within Visual Studio. These 'Snippets' generally provide what
could be understood as shortcuts for doing things within Inventor by code, when compared do
doing those same things through standard Inventor API code.
Below are some useful links for helping you learn about Inventor's iLogic.

And when learning to use iLogic, it is also advantageous to learn as much as possible about [Link],
so here are a few links to help with that too.
