I'm using Inventor 2013 to make a few multi view drawings and a parts list with an exploded view for a school project. Being slightly obsessive, I am looking for a way to arrange the elements (parts list, views, etc.) on the page so that they are equidistant from the edge of the paper. Essentially I am looking for something like the Align and Distribute commands from Adobe Photoshop.

In inv2012 is it possible to sort the level of detail list in an assembly? Or can I move a selected level up or down in a list?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn every version up to CS 5, I could use the direct select tool to select an element of a graph (e.g., a tick mark, an axis or a data point) and move it to another layer. This was very useful because it allows one to hide certain elements or, more importantly, choose which element appears on top when two elements (e.g., two data points) overlap without having to break the graph.
I can't seem to do this in CS6. Is there a new trick I need to learn here or has this functionality intentionally been deactivated?
I draw a rectangle and colored it with green then i wanted to give some effects by double clicking on the layer. Then opened a window named layer style. When i tick the box "gradient overlay", appears a gradient effect bu color of the image changes from green to gray. How may i prevent this change to gray. I want my stay rectangle green.

I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSetting up a tabulated ipart drawing template. Which is better...one drawing file with a table or individual drawings for each tabulation? Also does one method work better than the other when introducing vault?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently made a new drawing template with ilogic prompts for entering data for all fields within the template. It also sets view sizes etc. I have lots of master drawings, which are reused when sizes etc change for a contract, which i would like to transfer to this new template. Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard does not offer this function.
I could get all drawings in a folder copied to specific sheet size on the master template.As the template will probably be developed further in the future I'm very loathed to do this take manually.
I would like to know if there is a way to insert drawing no.1 into drawing no.2 (not copy sheets!) so that if I change the drawing no.1, the drawing no.2 (the one that contains no.1) also updates.
That is because I would like to have one part of the drawing that is ''standard'' and multiple drawings that contain this part (so that this part is defined in all drawings but is always the same). Because I don't want to have a separate drawing for the ''standard'' part, but only drawings that contain it.
How do you make curved elements appear curved in a 2d drawing?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI´m trying to write a script to convert all the blocks in a drawing to mass elements and export them to IGES thereafter.
I would like to select everything first. Then launch refedit and select all the blocks.
After that I would like to convert them to mass elements. When saving to IGES I would need to select everything again.
I pieced the following script together, but it fails. I think it is bexause of the request to select objects manually. Could I add a delay which would enable me to select an object?
Also it looks like ACADA is not accepting the "all" command when pselect is called by a script.

When we put an angular dimension on our drawing, the unit is degrees. How can we make an angular dimension on our drawing with radians as unit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a 3D model on inventor, and now I need the drawing from the model, it is a simple axle, but I really can not figure how to do it. I have looked around, but I failed in finding an awnser. I am sure it is very simple,
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor Pro 2010.I have a model and I am driving the dimensions from EXCEL. The model updates nicely when I change dimensions but the drawing (idw) does nothing. In the browser instead of the usual tree in the view there is this red lightning bolt and under them is a big plus (+) sign and the words Solid.... after it.I was assuming that the lightning bolt meant something needed updating, but I can't find how this is done.

I have a situation where I have my master BOM that is shown on sheet 1 of my drawing that represents everything shown on the drawing. What I am running into is I have to detail a couple of sub-assemblies as details on the drawing.
What I do is bring in views from that sub assembly seperate from the main assembly, but the problem is those items dont show up in the main BOM. I end up having to drag in a second BOM that I place off of the drawing sheet as well as adding line items in the main BOM to represent these components in the sub assembly. Then manually change the items numbers in the second BOM to match the iotem numbers in the main BOM. What I would like to know is if it is at all possible to link the two BOM's together so I can change the item numbers in the main BOM and it funnels down to the second BOM.
I cannot seem to install the SDK Drawing tools with Revision Cloud. When I click the msi file, the installer says it was successful, but I cannot find it on any INV ribbon and it is not shown in the list of available add-ins in Add-In Manager. Really need that revision cloud!

I'm working on a Isometric drawing and im trying to dimension the view. I keep the original view there and cut another of the same view and place that cut view over the original, so I have something to snap to while dimensioning.
Every time i go to place the cut view over the original and i always grab the wrong view and move it and I am wondering if there is a way to pin the original view in place permanently?
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.

Is there any way to add one with its corresponding calculation parameter?
Under the "Style and Standard Editor" Panel i cannot modify it.
The End result is to display a " Symbol after the first Units instead of the in unit (see enclose picture that i manipulated to display the end desired result).
Isit possible to do the following:
in the BOM - drg environment - if the part does not have a company part number (file name usually) then it should read out the bought out parts part number -supplier number.
I guess this needs to be VBA...
I'm using ilogic to cycle through my drawing views & save each view as a .jpg. Problem I am having is that it saves basically a screen-shot instead of just the sheet, so my background comes through along with the sheet. Reading some earlier posts I've learned that this is by design and can't be changed. That said, what I would like to do is have ilogic manipulate the zoom distance, & centering the sheet in my view in height & width bringing each sheet to a consistant point just before saving as .jpg. I'm embedding the images into an Access database table. If I have the images at least saving the paper space on a consistant scale, I can simply crop out the undesired portions within my Access report.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently had an issue when attempting to export to PDF from a drawing in Inventor Professional 2013 64-bit. The completed pdf is missing random characters in the dimensions, title block, etc. I've attached an example of this issue, which is now affecting all of my new drawings (the boundaries on the attached PDF are a little wonky from where I redacted).
What's funny is that this began suddenly, I have been using "Export to PDF" to produce dozens of drawings since AI 2013 was released. The only thing different is that I'm using a custom title block (hard-coded, no parameters) instead of the default. The machine is Windows 7 64-bit.
Is it the limitation of my hardware that gets me these jagged edges or is there a way to at least make drawings with smooth lines?
View 9 Replies View RelatedCant figure this out - I create a sketch in a drawing, but I cant see the lines as I'm drawing them. The lines are on a "solid" layer set to red as defined in my standard. The background of my drawings is black. When the line command is done, the line appears and it's red. Problem is I cant see it as I'm sketching. Is there any way to modify this? Can I have the line appear red (or white) as I'm sketching?
