Component Rules

Overview

Component Rules allows you to run, modify, or manage rules in selected Inventor components. You can enter a list of comma-separated rule names (or check all rules), choose a command, and select the components to process. The command is then executed on the specified rules in each selected component.

Available commands include: Run, Delete, Rename, Suppress, Unsuppress, Log Exists, and Log Not Exists. Component selection is filtered based on dialog box input as described in Filtered Select.

How It Works

Enter rule names or select all rules.
Choose the desired command to run on the rules.
Select the components to process.
Run the command to apply the action to each rule in the selected components.

Usage Instructions

Open the target assembly or part.
Click the Component Rules button in the Configure panel.
Fill in the dialog box: enter rule names, select command, and choose components.
Click OK to execute the command.

Troubleshooting

If rules are not found, check the rule names and component selection.
Use Log Exists and Log Not Exists to verify rule presence in components.
Refer to Filtered Select for advanced component selection options.
