AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Box Around Note Number?
Nov 21, 2013
I am creating a drawing that has some 40+ notes on it. Maybe half of these notes need to have a square, squircle, or some shape around them so I can later use that same shape enclosed number to point to a feature on the drawing that it is referencing. In the past when I had fewer notes I would just use the user symbols and losely place the squircle number in line with the other text and then use that same squircle number to point to the desired feature. The problem it is hard to align everything properly and if I move the text I then need to move the squircles.
In Pro/E I remember being able to type "@[1@]" and it would create a box around 1 in the text. Is there anything similar in Inventor?

I have a document for a book with 1400 superior note numbers in it. At the end of the document is a list with the 1400 connecting note texts. Unfortunately they are NOT connected! How can I connect the note-numbers with their connecting note text?

I have found an problem with change text on drawing note trough API.
Situation:
Create leader note in empty drawing
Change text on this note with following
Public Sub Run()Dim oDoc As DrawingDocumentSet oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim oNotes As DrawingNotesSet oNotes = oDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingNotesoNotes(1).FormattedText = "abcd"Debug.Print oNotes(1).Color.ColorSourceTypeEnd Sub
Then edit text stnadrda dialog, result is that color of text is changed from bylayer to overwited color.Strange is that trough api is color still set as bylayer.

Is there a way to add the all around symbol to a note or dimension? I see how to add it to a weld symbol and a feature control frame, but that doesn't work for me too much just yet...

is it possible to create a hole note without pitch.
i use standard thread in most cases so i just want the thread to be shown in the holenote tool on drawings (like M8 not M8x1,25)

In the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.

I create a hole feature in part and use Hole and Thread function in drawing view. All info displayed correctly, but if the model changes - note does not! the only way to get the new thread/hole designation is by using the Hole and Thread function again.
see print screen attached - I kept changing the model and using Hole and Thread tool couple of times. They all point to the same hole but look at the results..
Reboot does not work...

How can I change thread note from M12x1.75 to M12?
For our drawing standard, we don’t put the standard thread pitch into the thread note, and we have to manual to over write the thread note. But when the thread size changes and the note never get updated. Is there any other way to get the note to link to the thread size?

Any way, using iLogic, to get the K-Factor from a flat pattern sheet metal view on an idw drawing and add it as a note.
I'd like a rule that would access the flat pattern on the drawing, get the K-Factor value and then create a note that says, for example, "K-Factor Value = 44".
I see in the iLogic Snippets there's a Get Active KFactor under the Sheet Metal section, but I don't know where to start.

Is it possible to get a Limit/Fit tolerance included in a Hole Note call out, such as H7 etc?
Currently, when I am dimensioning Counter Bore holes, I have to use a general dimension for CBore dia incuding the Limit/Fit tolerance and manually add the hole dia (or visa versa). This means I have to manually update any changes to hole dia.

The "tap drill" option in hole note in idw drawing is gray out. so I was playing around with it and fix the problem luckily.
I go to hole feature model and change thread class from 2B to 3B. then, the "tap drill" option is turn on in idw drawing.
is this correct way to do it? i have few drawing to fix it. is there a faster way?

I want notation having breaking point. ( Ref attachment Dim -2)

I've attached a sample part & drawing of a hollow cylinder with 6 equally spaced radial holes drilled around it.
If you change the depth of the hole you will get a different quantity of holes in the drawing hole note.
I get a hole note quantity of 6 holes which is correct if I set the hole depth to 1". Change the hole depth to 2" and the hole note quantity shown changes to 5. Change the hole depth to 3" and the hole note quantity changes to 4.
I often draw bushings with radial holes like this and have to take care to not let this behavior create a wrong drawing.

Is there any way to control the priority of what information Inventor displays "on top" in a drawing when you have two elements that overlap?
My specific situation is I have a text note whose boundary (where the text 'box' would be if that was turned on) overlaps a detail of a section view and seems to be preventing the display of the hatch layer in one of my section views.
I have attached 3 pictures to show this problem. The pictures show the section view in 3 slightly different positions relative to the text box. I selected the text box before taking the screen capture so you can reference the green "handles" to know where the boundary of the text box would be. Notice how the hatching of the welds, flanges, and pipe as well as a portion of the extension line and arrow for the 3/16 dimension are 'covered' by the boundary of the text box.
Is there a way to control the priority in which different layers are displayed, or is there a function similar to the "Bring Forward/Send Backward" options in Microsoft Word?
FYI, I am running Inventor 2013 RTM build 138.

Using 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).
If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.

Working in a assembly and just edited an existing note in the Engineering notebook. Clicked the "X" to close the assembly.... what? no prompt to save the file?
Just checked adding a note to a ipt and it doesn't dirty the file either, so if you only add a new engineering note, you have to save it, cause it won't prompt you before closing.

I am trying to get the correct total mass of a particular assy variant in a view label. I am trying to avoid using I-Assemblies due to the length of time it takes to set up and inevitable fudging of parts lists with phantom parts when things go awry. Anyway, to get around that clumbsiness, I use a combination of suppresed parts, assembly Level of detail (LOD) and View representations to switch parts on and off for various assembly variants of a theme (which works fine for me). see my "Mass of LOD's.jpg" attachment which should fully explain the parts list filtering and what I WISH to achieve. My objective is to get the correct MASS per Level of Assy and View Rep (both called the same) to be automated, correctly (as per LOD/VIEW REP), ideally, in the view label or in a leader note. I reckon I was able to do this way back in MDT? Any enhancement in Inventor 2013?

it's possible to export informations stated in "tailing note box" from all welding symbols? The reason why I'd like to do it...it's because each weld in the drawing has his own number and I'd like to be able to work with these weld numbers in MS excel. It means I'd like to be able to export all the weld numbers and also to change these weld numbers in the drawing via MS excel.

In my part, there was already an existing Engineering note.
I wanted to add another note. I added my new note, but it does not show up in the browser. I can right click on the note note > Display note and both notes are shown in the engineering notebook. When I exit out of the notebook and go back to Inventor, still not there. Here is a short video of what I am seeing.
[URL]. The "Rev B" noteis the original one and Note 2 is the one that I just added.
Now I if I add another note, then all of them will show up in the browser. This is not the first time that I have seen this, but just thought I would bring this up.
This part was just made with a copy design from Vault. What is weird, is that if I go to the part that this was copied from and add the note, it shows up correctly then. Its like something is getting hosed in the copy design process.

How to “synchronize” the ‘layout number” with “sheet number”?
As in most cases, the arrangements of “lay outs” reflects the way they are regularly printed, then how could we renumbering the sheets such that the first lay out takes number 1, the second lay out takes number 2,…and so forth.
For example, in the screenshot below, the

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?

I was wondering how everyone uses drawing numbers on their part and assembly drawings? Do you use the part names or drawing numbers to keep track of everything? And do you save the parts with their names or with a number? We are currently restructuring all our processes.

I want to use the AddBorder method to add a custom Border to a sheet. As I see in the end, the newly added border does not have the zone parameteres set - the result 0 horizontal zones/0 vertical zones.
If I use the add border functionality that Inventor provides, the zones are not null.
I tried to find a way to specify these parameteres, but I found that they can be specified only on DefaultBorder.

When using multiple sheets within an IDW. Can the first sheet start out with a number other than 1, in otherwords start with sheet number 31, then every sheet after that be indexed by 1, ie 32, 33, 34 etc.
