When using alternate dimensions in hole notes it repeats the full note for both dimension units. I would like to only have the dimensional data have the alternate information and not repeat the full note (see attached file).

I am using 2012 SP2 and when I try to place hole notes with both metric and inches it only gives me inches (in both displays)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on some VB code to reterive the dimensions fron an IDW and put them on an excel spreadsheet for an Inspection report. I found some code to which gets the linear dimensions and have added tolerance type and tolerance bands.
I have been unable to get the hole notes off the IDW. Got the general notes to work with the following
Dim invDrawNotes As Inventor.DrawingNotes
Dim invActDrawNotes As Inventor.DrawingNote
Set invDrawNotes = invActSHT.DrawingNotes

How can I go about editing the text for a holethread note? I want to proceed the default text w/ the quantity note.
E.g.: 7/8 THRU
What I want: ?X 7/8 THRU
What file do I edit to customize hole and thread notes?

I want to add for each hole in a hole table its true position value that I decided (instead of creating feature control frame for each hole).
The Hole and thread notes command does nothing in a drawing.
I point to a thread hole, the mouse cursor changes to the right simbol but no note is generated.
Why do I have to select edit hole note each time I use the hole feature tool? It will not keep my settings to show qty.
It seems that I should be able to save it to my library and make it the default. I have saved library,templates all with zero luck.
See 2 screen shots in the attachment.
See attachment. I can't get the units off of inch.

Using AutoCAD 2013, I have set my the placement of the alternate units to "Below primary value" (in Dimension Style), but they do not go underneath, they remain after the primary units. I tested in 2012, and it works fine there but not in 2013.

Is there any possible way to eliminate the brackets from around Alternate Units? I could swear I've seen a routine around that enables you to do this.
Is it possible to indicate alternate units, imperial/metric?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing. I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types. I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style. (Please see the attached image.)
So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table? Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it..... But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.
I am trying to add a hole to an existing hole chart. I drop the part into a new drawing, set the ordinate "zero", and add a hole chart by selecting a few holes. When I attempt to edit the chart: click chart, right click "edit", click add hole, select new holes, right click to create, the "create" selection is greyed out and all I have to choose from is cancel. I searched the forum here but could not find a reference to this a know issue. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch of 2013.
We are running win7 x64 machines and this happens on both the 2013 Ultimate and Premium editions of the product.
I have had this problem intermittently for a few weeks since going to Inventor 2013 SP1.1. I have a part within an assembly and that part has holes created in it before assembling it with other parts. Now when I try and create a hole table in a drawing of the assembly I cannot select hole edges and the hole table is blank when trying to create it automatically from view selection. I originally thought it may be an alignment issue but I have since aligned everything correctly and it still persists. I can create the hole table if I import in just the part into the drawing but it will not allow me to create the table on the whole assembly.
I can also create the hole table if I use "centred pattern" and create cross hairs on all of the holes however it does not give me correct annotations for the holes as shown in attachment and I can manually change the annotations but seriously this should not be required. As shown in the screen shot it reads as A1 down to K1 instead of A1 to A10. .
Question: Is it possible to control the Hole Dimensions called out on the Hole Chart? As in controling leading/trailing zeros for main hole dim, alt home dim and tolerances? Can you combine the Main Dim with the Alt dim in a single column, separated with parentheses? (same with tolerance?)

I have a lot of pre existing sheet metal parts with my material listed as Steel, Mild.
I am using this code to automatcally fill out my iproperties but the material name is not exactly what I want it to say. iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")=iProperties.Material
I'd like it so that any time it sees Steel, Mild it replaces it with the text "A36"

Is there a way to make Inventor automatically add a note, along the bend line, indicating bend direction, number of degrees and bend radius?
Also, in 2013, where are the bend tables located? I've checked the help file, and it's telling me cprogram filesautodeskinventor 2013design data
I followed that path, but I do not have the "design data" folder it's calling for.

I am trying to create and display multiple Notes on an Inventor Part. I select the face, right click, select create note, and the note gets created perfectly. However the next note I create does not get displayed in the graphics window. It gets added to note in the browser. Is it possible to get all notes created displayed on the model?
I also see that the note automatically adds the Author and the date to the note. Is it possible to edit this information. It says the information is read only.
Every time I create a chamfer note, I have to edit it, because I don't like '1.5 X 45° ', I like the lower case of '1.5 x 45° '. Only a small detail, maybe, but that's how I prefer it. Can I edit the template somewhere so that this happens automatically?
Similarly, can I edit the hole note so that the tolerance (6H, etc) is not shown for tapped holes?
I have created Engineering Notes in Part and same visible in all top level assemblies (see attached image).
I searched on web for option and it is available underAplication Option>Note Tab, but I could not able to locate option in Inventor.
