...but basically you need a custom level of detail to be present and active if you want to suppress parts inside assemblies with 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
