Is it possible to associate leader text with a particular page number.
For instance, I want to write, "see page 6"
But if I add a page before 6 then I have to remember to update the note. Is there a way to live link this in the leader?
I would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?
In AutoCAD leader settings you can set the number of point so the leader looks standard. I am searching for this in inventor and am coming up empty. I have seen other engineering drawings where I can tell that the generated data in the balloon was entered from the parts column in the B.O.M. But instead of part numbers, I have seen text. and I have mine set up to generate the Balloons that way but I do not like the leader type it is giving me. The attachment is what my leaders are looking like in inventor.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOk, I'm sure there is a very simple way to fix this that I just haven't yet discovered. When I insert a stacked dimension in the top line of my leader text, the spacing gets automatically adjusted for the hight of the stacked dimension and it adjusts the leader line up so that it actually passes through my top line. Can this be avoided? I have attached a picture for reference.

So when i insert a new sheet and place a part the part number wil be placed in the title block and i want to change the sheet name to that part number.
I placed a Sheet Propertie called Sheet Number in my title block.
I want only my sheet number in my title block and not the follow number.
I found the code made bij Curtis Waguespack and changed Mid to Left.
In the message box it shows the number i want but in the title block it shows only the follow number.
My sheet number is 400:1
why dusn't show only the number 400 in the titleblock?

On a multi page drawing, I want a sketched symbol to placed on a upper right hand side, “For BOM, see Sheet: X” to be placed on every sheet except the sheet where the parts list available on the drawings. Also the Sketched symbol prompted entry automatically filled up with the sheet number (Parts list page).
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat is the code to select a drawing sheet by either its number or description but NOT both together?
Sometimes want need to select the first sheet by number 1 but the sheet description can change. and Sometimes we will need to select the sheet by its description but the sheet number may vary.
I'm trying to come up with a way to automate the filling of the stock number field in the iproperties for different sheet metal rules. Currenlty I have linked the name of the rule to the description field using the =<Sheet Metal Rule>. So using that varible is out.
A quick solution was to make custom materials for all of the stock numbers and then link that to the sheet metal rule using the material box. This will work except I need to show material name on the parts list.
If only each sheet metal rule had its on iproperties, this would be so easy.
Can this be done with Ilogic?

How to reference the drawign sheet number using iLogic? I see on the snippets on the side a way to reference the sheet name, but I only want the number. To get the name it is ActiveSheet.Name, but ActiveSheet.Number does not work. Getting the name give something like ASSM:1, so if there was a way to take that and subtract the colon and everything before it that would work also. I am not a programmer, I've just taked some programs I found online and modified them a little to do what I want to do, but this is holding me back a bit.
Overall, I'm trying to modify the drawing view label to have a project number, referenced from the drawign iProperties, a view label, and sheet number, and then save that info in an iproperty of the part, and then reference that in the BOM so it automatically labels all of the views and fills out a column of the BOM to reference which page and view to find the parts of the assembly. I have everything working except for the sheet number.
I was just wandering if there is any possible way to get the DWG NO. (part name in our case) to link the the Sheet Name in the Browser window?

What is the name of a value that might hold the total number of bends in a part?
Or at least how those feature are managed?
Simply put, I'd like to pull the total number of bends into a parameter so it can be exported later.

I have a question on Leader Text. Lets say I have a multiple sub-assys in a main assy. When I do the leader text on one of the sub-assys it will take the description from the individual part in the sub-assy. Is there a way I can make it put the assembly description rather than the part description?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Inventor 2012, you could choose Balloon, select a part, click at some location and the Balloon was placed and finished. Now in Inventor 2013 you have to right-click and choose Continue. The same applies, when you want to place a Leader Text (and maybe elsewhere as well).
Why do we suddenly have to make two additional clicks compared to Inventor 2012. It doesn't work, that you can press Enter instead of the additional mouse clicks.
And why is the Open Drawing moved to second level. The Marking Menu is of no use, especially not in the tree browser.
Why do you Inventor designers make such changes that make Inventor more annoying to operate compared to the previous version. It should be the other way around....like the brilliant inclusion of Open Drawing.
