Inventor 2018 - iLogic to Show Mesh and Surface Data on Drawings

By Clint Brown

I was recently asked if it is possible to toggle all Mesh and Surface geometry "On", in Inventor's drawing environment. While it is possible to turn the visibility of this geometry on manually, it requires the user to go to each view and then each component to toggle the visibility.

So with this in mind, I wrote a very quick iLogic rule to iterate through the drawing views and turn Mesh and Surface geometry on.

The video below shows the rule in action. I have attached the iLogic code to this blog post.

Bonus Tip: If you set the "IncludeMeshBodies" or "includeSurfaceBodies" = False, you can toggle the visibility of these features off.
