AutoCAD Inventor :: ASCII Characters / Correct Character Codes
Feb 13, 2012
I am quite conversant with Unicode keystrokes (Alt+XXXX) for most symbols in fact I have a cheat that aids me in the correct character code.If I don't have the code I just copy it from the character map and paste it into the sentence but it gets a little tiresome after a while searching the character map for symbols.
I have on numerous occasions lately had the need to to insert the 'THEREFORE' symbol (You know the 3 dots in a triangle) into text notes on my drawings.
This symbol only seems to have a code "U+2234"..I have spent a lot of time searching everywhere for a clue as to what this keystroke sequence means.
I have my font style set to "Arial Unicode MS". Looking for the correct keystroke sequence for "U+XXXX"?

When I paste the proposed surface with the corriodor surface and I check the profile the proposed surface ties to the bottom of the kerb ignoring the footpath.Also in the same drawing file I can't seem to export it to ACAD.

Illustrator Version CS3-CC
Preferred scripting: Visual Basic (VBScript)
In the Adobe Illustrator CS5 Scripting Reference (VBScript), I see the following code for setting character attributes.
iCount = textRef.Characters.Count
i = 1
Dim charRef
Do While (i < (iCount + 1))
dSize = dSize * 1.1
textRef.TextRange.Characters(i).CharacterAttributes.HorizontalScale = dSize
textRef.TextRange.Characters(i).CharacterAttributes.VerticalScale = dSize
i = i + 1
Loop
Is there a way to set character attributes on a range of characters at once?
Iterating through the characters one by one is really slow, especially in higher versions of Illustrator (like CS6).
I want to be able to set character attributes, for example, from the third character to the sixth character of a paragraph textrange.
Basically, I want to do something like itembyrange in InDesign scripting.

Windows 7; Photoshop 13 (CS6).I am typing some text in a new layer; no problem so far. I need to insert some special characters that are not on the keyboard, e.g.TōkaiThat also was not a problem; I copied the character from the Windows Character Map.
Now I want to copy/paste more special characters from the Character Map, e.g.
☏ (U+260F) or
✉ (U+2709)
Now all of a sudden this does not work; the pasted characters appear in Photoshop as a boxed X.The font I have been using was Arial, but when I pasted these Unicode characters, the font automatically changed to Myriad Pro. Changing the font back to Arial does not alter the boxed X.
I took these Unicode characters from the Character Map using font Arial Unicode MS. That font does not appear in Photoshop.Questions:are there any Unicode fonts available in Photoshop?is there any other way to paste such characters into Photoshop?

I have the following visual basic
sFileName = "C:Test FolderTest.dxf"
sFileName = StrConv(sFileName, vbUnicode)
msgbox (sFileName)
But, when I run it it does not seem to work. (All I require is the UniCode equivalent).

I am trying to index an ascii type Point Cloud. The file is exported from GOM Inspector program and file extension is asc. There are some parameters in GOM for exporting the point cloud. For example you can chose "," or "." as separator. I believe the problem lies in this area. I believe the syntax in my file is wrong. I have tried to find instructions of the file format / syntax.

We have an extensive library of parts that we consistently utilize, but we do use Content Center for hardware and routed systems components.
All of our library parts have our company ERP's item number in the stock number iProperty, and the ERP's description in the Comments iProperty.
For CC items, we have added columns for these and mapped them to the appropriate iProperty.
Everything works great except for one thing.
Many of our ERP descriptions inlude inch marks, foot marks, and the & symbol. For our normal library parts thhis is not an issue. However, CC items utilize these characters differently. The result is our descriptions come out different that what is entered.
See the example below...
How to include these characters in the CC descriptions?

I'd like to build a rule into my standard part template that takes the part number (which it automatically gets from the file name by default), removes the characters after a delimiter, as well as the delimiter itself, and sets that as a new custom property. For example, we'll call the custom property Prop1
For part 123-321-1.ipt
Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-1
I want to set Prop1 to 123-321
For part 123-321-25.ipt
Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-25
I want to set Prop1 to 123-321

As everybody know copy/paste excel file into an inventor drawing is sometimes difficult. As you can see in the printscreen a special character is not converted. I supposed it's because this special character is not in the AIGDT or is in the extended character set wich is not considered in Inventor?

Inventor is displaying the "male symbol" instead of a carriage return. It only does this once in a while, maybe once in 50 dimension edits, and if I edit the dimension again, backspace out the return and replace it then it will display correctly.
I'm using a Quadro 600 with an AutoDesk certified driver. Memory isn't pegged, only using half of my installed 8GB. Bug?

We use iproperties to describe our parts and have a 40 character limit. Is there any way ilogic could be used to check and possibly warn if an iprop field exceeds 40 characters?

I can't get Inventor 2013 show a custom iproperty correct.My iLogic rule is this:
iProperties.Value("Custom", "myvol")=volume = iProperties.Volume
But the custom iProperty is a Yes or No.Had no problem with this in Inventor 2011.

This is on a Windows 7 work station
User reboots computer, logs into network, opens the printer properties on one of our HP plotters, and the print properties pages show just fine.
The user will open Inventor, and attempt to print a drawing, and the print settings page shows in all weird characters.
We have applied all service packs and hot fixes. How do we get this to show normal like it does on all the other programs?

Using Civil 3D 2012 x64
I have an SDF file which contains point objects with associated data table records. I'm trying to extract the data to xls file /or text file/
Once imported in Map there's the option to view data table, then one can go select all and copy/paste everything in excel. This would have been perfect if coordinates were exported too. Alas I end up with a rather useless table.
Is there a way to convert an SDF file to xls file and preserve all the data records along with the geometry /xyz/ in the process?

Sitka 1/3 arc-second DEM is the page for the source of the .asc file.
I downloaded the rather large (190 mb) zipped file of a large ASCII file with a few extra things (readme, metadata, report)
I followed this how-to document.
And I get the error message "Cannot set the column 'Name'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column." And then nothing at all happens. No data imported.
Also, if I can't find the coordinates they assigned to the Ascii and I choose one I always use for this area, could that be the problem?
And I'l attach a photo of the 'preview' screen before I get before the error message.

With Inventor 2013 , user can view iProperties > Physical > Volume. After UPDATE is clicked, the application seems to recalucate and display mass information. How do I accomplish this task with API? I tried looping through all Occurrence objects, then access MassProperties.Volume, but the numbers do not match what I got from the Inventor application. The API seems to give me the Volume before the model construction (add parts, extrusions etc.) I need volumes after the final assembly.

I'm having problems importing points into Civil 3D 2012.I'm trying to import an ASCII file into the drawing.Files formats are P,N,E,Z,D in ASCII file and the same format is selected when I try importing.
The ASCII file has well over a 1000 points but when I import the points only the first twenty or so points import to the drawing.This seems not to be limited to this drawing.I tried to import points to a different drawing and the same thing happened.
Up to this point I have not had trouble importing points into other various drawings.Is there a button or setting that may have changed that is preventing full importation of the points?

i received a ascii file of position and elevation points (PNEZD) and do not see any where to import these points into AutoCAD 2011.
I know there exists survey products from autodesk, but still kind of wondering why there is no easy way to import points in the basic CAD program.
How to import a PNEZD file into AutoCAD 2011?

I was checking my prints and noticed that the mass for the assembly was not shown correctly. The mass for each component is correct, but the mass for the assembly is less than the total mass of the parts..... how can that be?
Watch this video. The mass for my assembly is reported from iProperties as 10 lbs, but the mass for one of the parts is 60lbs. I would expect the mass for the assembly to be at least 60 lbs, but it is not. I tried a "Rebuild All" and an "Update Mass" on my assembly, but that did not fix it (30 sec mark in the video).
This assembly is part of a much larger assembly (around 35,000 parts). There are several more assemblies doing this and I need to get the mass correct.
I am using 2013 x64, SP2.

I have a LOD in my assembly to suppress some of the components. In the assembly, it looks like the center of gravity is correct for the LOD. Now I place this assembly in an idw with the LOD active. Now I right-click on the assembly in the idw and choose "Center of Gravity". The center of gravity shown here does not represent the center of gravity for this LOD. The CG shown represents the CG of the master LOD.
Is it possible to get the center of gravity to show on the idw that represent the CG of an LOD?

Is it possible to export a DTM (TIN surface) to ESRI's ASCII grid format (for ArcGIS)?
I've attached an example file.
Failing that, is it possible to export to a simple XYZ point file?

I have not seen this issue happen in quite a while. I saw it on earlier releases pre-2013. But now after the Update2 build it seems my IDW's are not behaving properly.
Scenario:
1. Create model of a raw material (steel) stamped bracket. It receives its own part number
2. Create iam using the unpainted bracket and then assign a color (red) to represent a painted finish. This receives a new part number due to our MFG process.
3. Create iam model using other "painted" sub assembly models (step 2 for instance). New part number.
4. Create IDW but it shows the raw material (step 1) rather than the painted model. It should show the painted

I have a sketchblock in a sketch that I need to postion into the correct quadrant. I have dimensions on the sketchblock that are told to be driven while running the quadrant position task shown below. see image. Sketchblock is currently in quadrant 1 and I need to be able to push that into the 3rd, thus the (-200,-200).
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).SketchBlocks.Item(1).Postion.X = -200
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).SketchBlocks.Item(1).Postion.Y = -200
After it is in the correct quadrant I power the dimensions to constraint the sketchblock into correct position.
The question is, how do I position the sketchblock in the correct quadrant via 'position'?
Not working.
