AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 Drawing / Using Item Number As Base View Name
Aug 7, 2013
At my company, we do a large amount of work with sheet metal parts and assemblies. On our drawings, we like to do "detail" views of the flat patterns of each part of the assembly. Basically, how we do it now is insert a base view of the assembly and the BOM onto the first sheet and then on separate sheets, we place base views of the flat patterns for each of the components that will be cut on our cnc plasma table. We use the item number to denote which part it is in the assembly. Is there any way to pull the item number from the assembly BOM and use it as a parameter that can be inserted into the view label? Right now, it's a nightmare if the assembly BOM is modified because we have to go back in to each view label and manually change the item number.

Is there a way to get sheet number of the base view for the Selected Child view (Mainly for Section. Detail Views). Because the Section views, Detail views (initially they would have created on the same sheet where the parent is, then they moved to different sheets). So we place the parent view sheet number.

Each time when I place a part in base view, have to follow few steps; go through view label, format Text, than choose type option - [Properties-Model] and its property - [Part Number], than placing dimensions. it takes long time and very repetitive, especially, when placing a hundreds of parts and I was wondering if there is an option, to set up view label; [Properties - Model ]& [Part number], as a DEFAULT. So, each time placing a part, in base view it will come up with correct label. Also, overall dimensions, can it be retrieve using parameters of the part?

I am making a drawing in which I have an assembly of multiple parts and one subassembly. I already have my bill of materials on the drawing also. Can I now show details of each of the parts by calling them out by their item number on the BOM? I realize that I could simply insert another base view of the individual part, but I would rather they be pulled directly by their item number on the BOM. This would be ideal so that the view could automatically be labeled "item 1.1" or "detail 1.1" instead of manually having to insert that text.

I am trying to create a new base view in drawing-document.
I can get hold of the view but cant find a way to set reference data --- would like to set the "Line Style" to "As Parts" and "Hidden Line Calculation" to "All Bodies".

is it possible to constrain an item twice to a base, because a task i'm doing requires a tank to be constrained to 2 completely different parts. What i've got so far is one end will go through the whole way.

We put several parts on a single drawing sheet and ,to include the part number in the drawing view label, we must edit each view label and change the type to Properties_Model and the Property to Part Number. Is there a way to set the default of a drawing view label to include the Part Number? I tried modifying the styles to include <PART NUMBER> but it the text "<PART NUMBER>" came in instead of the value. To get the value, I had to edit the view label and hit the X with a down arrow to get the part number to show up, which is not much different than having to edit the label and change type and property. I'm looking to avoid all the view label editing as much as possible.

Is it possible to automatically insert centrelines in projected views when using the base view command?
I believe it is possible with Inventor.

When making a Section view from a Base View is there a setting to make the text follow the Text Style and Paperspace text size. Everytime I create a Section View I have to change the text settings in the Properties box.

In our company if we put a component in 5 different assemblies, we want that component to have the same item number no matter where it is in the parts list. In addition we group components to have a special item number... Meaning hardware like washer, bolts, and etc. to start with 500 series number.. Piping components would be 800 series...
Is there a way to do this in ILOGIC/VB?

When create assembly, i placed 3 parts in order: A.ipt, B.ipt, C.ipt
And ofcourse the item number will be:
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
this number will be the same in: item colum (in BOM table), ballon (in 2D drawing).
The problem is: i want to change this number,
A will be 2
B will be 1
C will be 3 when i ballon the part in 2D
I've used "renumber" in BOM, but it just change value in "item" colum (in BOM table), not change in "ballon" (in 2D drawing).

in case of replacing a component in an assembly the present item number in (structured) BOM table is reassigned through a new one. This cause a lot of troubles in our firm, because this requires rework of item numbers after each replace action. I expected that especially in case of an replace of all occurrences, the item number is kept. Is there a setting to keep item numbers after a component was replaced?

I just wondered if can I assign a particular ITEM number to a particular part, instead of relying on order in the assembly.
I unsterstand I can overrite it in BOM but can I have it controlled from the part, so any time I instert it into an assembly, this particular number in ITEM coulmn pops up?

I am using 2013 and have a few 3D objects in the modeling space that I am using view base to put different views of each into the paper space. When I do this and export to PDF, I get an extra green line from the paper space. I have deleted and replaced the view and have tried different views with varying sucess.
Some pieces simply need a different view, however I have one that will not go away. The different view does really solve the problem either because I need the view with the problem. I have attached a picture of the issue, but it is just a chunk to protect information that I cannot share. The gray in the drawing is the part, the green line should not be there. The green line only shows up on the PDF, not in modeling space or paper space.

I've just recently been having a problem with the base view command. While trying to create the base view from model space all I get is the move command. Also from inventor the command changes to fillet. I've uninstalled AutoCad 2013 completly then reinstalled but continue to have the same problem.

Is it possible to make the column 'REV' automatically equal to the 'Item' column in attached BOM view? I manually added the values 1 to 5 in the REV column for example.
Maybe with some ilogic rule? I don't know if it's possible and/or where to start.
When i place a mono-part-detail on a assembly drawing i want to be able to place a leader referenced to the REV value. When this is possible there is a link between assembly item number and the mono-part leader.

If there was a way to retain original object layer properties when in base view. IE I have 4 layers, each with a different color. I would like to create a base view, and still keep the object layer colors. Is there a work around for this? Or should I just do an elevation and work through VP's?

I don't know how useful this will be but I was trying to figure out how to track what item number in an assembly any given part may be. I was thinking that on an individual part drawing I may want to reference the item number that is used in an assembly's Bill of Material for that part. I can't find where this may be stored for retrieval. If I do this I would want it to be automated so that if the BoM were renumbered the part file and drawing would update to the new item number.
This may not be possible since any part may be used in any number of different assemblies with different locations in a Bill of Material. Most of our assemblies use "one off" parts that are only used in that assembly so it may be possible in my particular situation to do this if there is a way to get at the BoM item number and connect it to the IPT file.

I created multiple base views and projected views on drawing (autocad 2014). suddenly when I create base view it doesn't show anything, jumps to 0,0,0 coordinates (it is fixed can't be changed), scale can't be changed. It shows it is drawing view in properties, however when I want to edit (click edit then select the view , it won't recognize it is view). I created many views without problem, now all base views jumps to 0,0,0 coordinates....
(pic 1 )- shows the usless view
pic 2 - shows previous view without any issues

I've just started to do some work with Inventor 2013 and I noticed that, when creating a section view in a drawing, the preview is always uncut and shaded. Even when creating a partial section, the preview shows the full, shaded assembly. I tried playing with the "Section View Preview as Uncut" setting in Application Options, but this doesn't seem to do anything.

I have a drawing that I created (.dwg) in Inventor 2013 that, when opened, is completely blank. However, when in the File>Open dialog box, I can click on the name of the drawing and the preview shows the complete drawing with all views fully dimensioned. I closed Inventor, laucned AutoCAD and tried opening the same file and it was still blank (no views). I then closed that file and open the old version of the file from the, "OldVersions" folder with Autocad and all the views and dimensions were there.
So I launced Inventor again and reopened the offending print and noticed that the model is not shown in the drawing's model tree. I'm 100% positive that I did not delete this model/view from the drawing before saving the file. This is a small drawing and it will only take me a few mintues to recreate it.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the model my base views were linked to.
If I wanted to link the base view to a different model, would this be possible.
When I double click on the base view it shows the file path for the model that is currently chosen; however, it is all grey and I am unable to edit it or choose another file path.
How to change this? Is this even possible? Is it because I have annotated the drawing view that I am unable to change the model path?

what could have happened in an assembly when I've changed the cube front view (3D)? The projection has changed automatically (the view) in 2D. In other assemblies didn't happened the thing I've mentioned before even if I did the same thing meaning that I've modified the front view but 2D stayed in the same projection.

When starting a new idw, my first action is placing the base view. I would very much like to start a new 2D and have the "Drawing View" window automatically pop up. I'm not sure how to do this. Would it be part of the idw template, or is there a setting I'm oblivious to?

I'm trying to develop a program where I can use a base view based on the current view of a single part. The idea is basically export the contour of the part to the DXL format and save it to be used on cutting machines.
I've found something similar here, but in the context, it was necessary to use the path of the part to work, and I need it to recognize the part that is already opened.

I kept the code simple
fname = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension fpath = ThisDoc.PathoPartDocPath = fpath+""+fname+".ipt"oPartDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(oPartDocPath, False)oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument oSheet = oDrawDoc.Sheets.Item(1)oTG = ThisApplication.TransientGeometryoPoint1 = oTG.CreatePoint2d(5, 5)oBaseView = oSheet.DrawingViews.AddBaseView(oPartDoc, oPoint1, DrawingViewScale, kFrontViewOrientation, kHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle, "Default")
it is a local rule in an idw file that has been saved with an ipt file of the same name saved in the same directory. Now I get the most useless error message ever devised by manking
"The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))"

I need, using a macro, the ability to pre set the file that I am going to use as a "Base View" on a IDW file.
I call the ipt file "FRED.IPT", when I run the macro, it opens a new clean idw sheet and pre-sets the "Base View" to "FRED.IPT".
or
Automatically open a clean idw sheet and place the file "FRED.IPT" on the sheet, automatically.
