AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto Zone Border

May 29, 2009

I would like to create a border that looks at the sheet number and then zones the horizontal borders in a continuous numbering scheme.

Sheet 1 = 1-8
Sheet 2= 9-16
etc...

This is a requirement that we have to meet with some customers. When drawings get to 30+sheets it becomes a pain to manually renumber the zones.

I would imagine this is done in VB code, but I have not programmed in a very long time. The formula would be something simple like;

if sheetnumber >1 then
for i =1 to 8
zone(i)i.value = zone(i).value +8
next i
end if

AutoCAD Inventor :: Zone Border Edits

Jun 18, 2013

I'm having a problem with a Zone Border. I created the Zone Border like normal. I edited the appearance of the 'ABCD1234' text slightly:

- changed to center and middle justification.
- changed width to 120%
- changed color to black

The edits to 'ABCD' took effect and look just right. The edits to '1234' don't stay edited. I save the sketch, it looks okay, then when I add it to Sheet:1, the numbers have gone back to blue and lost the width and justification edits. But the letters are fine. What the heck is going on?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Merging Non Adjacent Polygon According To Their Zone

Dec 12, 2013

I've 2 FDO Layer (polygon). Layer1 contains zoning and Layer2 contains small area. The goal is to merge all polygons (1 or more) of Layer2 into only 1 polygon in each zone of Layer1.

I can do an FDO Overlay (Identity) to copy ID of zone to Layer2, but I don't know (except manually) how to merge polygons with 1 common information.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Theme By Zone

Jan 28, 2011

I am delving into the world of Display Themes in autocad architecture for the first time. What I am trying to do is apply a display them to a viewport that colour all spaces according to the zone to which they are attached.

I have made a generic space which I have used for all rooms.  I have attached those spaces to various zones (i.e. Accounting and Finance, Engineering, Facilities etc.)

I am now trying to create a display theme that will color each zone accordingly.  I am trying to do this by setting each theme rule to be;

propertyset definition = zone, property = name, condition = equal to, value = Accounting and Finance (etc.), operator = and.

I do this and nothing happens to the spaces.  I have tried experimenting with other property sets attached to the spaces and different properties (ie space base area etc) and it works fine.  So i'm pretty sure its just a case of finding the correct zone property to work with.

Is there a variable I can pull to get the coordinate system zone assigned to the drawing?  For instance, if my drawing is in UTM coordinates, zone 13, is there a (retrievable) variable set to "UTM27-13"?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Create A No Work Zone On A Surface

Mar 6, 2012

I use RocTek for cut/fil calculations, but the program is old and basic, I'm trying to transition to Civil 3D 2012 right now. Typically I create "no work zones" around my building footprints, so that I can do a more detailed take-off in those areas for over-excavations and that sort of thing. Right now I'm using Civil 3D to create an existing surface, a proposed surface, and then a volume from between the two. I thought if I just traced my proposed contours over the existing within the building footprint that I would get what I was looking for. However, analysis of the cut/fill volume shows that there are still some changes being made around the edges of the building.

Is there a specific way to make a proposed surface, but leave parts of the existing surface untouched?

See attached photo. The upper middle portion of the screen is where the building is (forgot to turn on layer).

GIMP :: Move Object On A Layer Crowded Zone

Feb 5, 2012

I often have an issue when trying to move an object on a layer crowded zone.

I select the right layer through the layer dock. But when I try to move my object, some auto selecter is probably ON and it selects another layer (that probably was right under my mouse) Any way I could disable that ?

When I used to use photoshop that was an easy obvious option "AutoSelect Layer" I don't get it how to do this in gimp

Illustrator :: Time Zone / Daylight Savings Conflict Between Windows 7 And CS6

Apr 22, 2013

When Daylight Savings did its change this spring I started having problems saving files in Illustrator. I will go to save files, mainly .eps format, and it crashes Illustrator. I have changed my time zone to a zone that has not switched yet due to Daylight savings, and it works. Unfortunately as I find a new time zone, it also ends up hitting Daylight Savings, and I am back to square one. I have been searching both the Adobe site and the Windows site to find an answer to my problem, but am having no luck.
 
My proper time zone is
 
(UTC-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)
 
I have even tried using Saskatchewan as they do not follow Daylight Savings, but it also creates crashes. I have tried many other time zones, the two that have worked so far are
 
(UTC-06:00) Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey (worked for a little while but a time change a few weeks later messed it up)
(UTC) Casablanca (working on this time zone now, but an alert on my computer says time change coming up on the 28th)
 
I feel like I am running out of time, as I am not sure how many more time zones will work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Attributes On Border Definitions

Aug 23, 2013

I have been having trouble storing attributes on border definitions.  I have multiple borders which need to be used for different types of drawings.  I have developed a tool which will use the desired border pragmatically and it works as planned.  Currently the logic selects a border based on name, but since this can be edited by the user I need a more dependable way of retrieving a border.  I had thought attributes would be the answer, but I'm running into problems.  The attributes just won't stick.  I've tried to add them manually through the API and with the Attributes Helper tool released.

See below for the code I'm using to add the attributes

Dim oAttr As Inventor.Attribute Dim oAttrSet As AttributeSet Set oAttrSet = oBorderDef.AttributeSets.Add("TestAttributeSet", True) oAttrSet.Copy = True Set oAttr = oAttrSet.Add("TestAttribute", kIntegerType, 12345) Debug.Print oAttrSet.Parent.Parent.Name & " " & oAttrSet.Name & " " & oAttr.Name & " " & oAttr.Value

 It will print information leading me to believe that the attribute was added, but if I try to retrieve it either through the attributemanager or manually cycling through the border definitions no attributes exist.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Editing Default Border

Dec 5, 2012

I have the default border set in all my templates but I want to add an outside border to the default border (so everything is ultimately enclosed in a large box). How can I add that to the default? I see where I can define a new border but I can't have two borders on the same drawing so how do I combine them? I want to keep the existing "smart" default border that lets me choose how many zones etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Two Different Border And Title Block Colors

Feb 5, 2013

I use two different measuring system IMPERIAL and METRIC.

What I want is to be able tell at a glance, by having different color border and Title-block Text  is which one of the system of units I'm using

So what I'm wanting to do is create a Metric Sheet template with on color, Border, Title Block Text and a different color for the Imperial.

I've tried changing the color using the Style Center but that affects both templates, I've tried editing the title-block text saving the template but on opening it has changed back to the defaults set in the style settings and dose not hold those that I set.

What I don't what to be doing is changing them after opening, as at some stage I'll forget.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Custom Table Border With VB?

Jun 25, 2012

I am creating a standalone .exe with VB.net that opens an Inventor .idw and creates a few custom tables.  I want one of the tables to have no border at all. 

So far I have tried:

Dim oFormat As TableFormat oFormat = oInvSheet.CustomTables.CreateTableFormat oFormat.InsideLineWeight = 0 oFormat.OutsideLineWeight = 0 oCustomTable_Hardware.OverrideFormat = oFormat

 But that does not hide the border lines.

I've found no similar code to try out that dealt with table borders or that sort.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Size Title Block Using Border

Mar 22, 2013

Is there a way to access any data of any Border in a Drawing files when creating a sketch in the file?

I'm trying to make a Title Block that take up the whole length of the Border bounded page and 10 mm high, anchored on the bottom.

Currently I had the Default Border "changed" by Inserting it and changing the margins to fit to approximately my printer's printable area.  It seems at this stage when I created a new title block defn I'm basically given a blank sketch with the origin at the bottom left as my only "snap point".

I found one through subject suggestion about using iLogic to change the size, but that isn't exactly what I'm trying to do as that seems just a switch for different Title Blocks that's been made up.

I thought about just drawing the title block in with the border, but I don't think that's the right way to do it.

Is there any way to draw your Title block in this case beside manually figuring out how big the Border is and dimension with that raw number?

(Just curious as it would be just a simple subtraction, but if I changed the Border margin I would have to repeat the arithmetic...)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting A Drawing Border To Act On A Modified Custom Property

Feb 20, 2012

The company I work for produce drawings for various types of fabrication.

Using Inventor I have a drawing border in which tolerance values change depending on the type of fabrication to be produced. The type of fabrication (0,1,2,or 3) is designated by a custom property entered during part/fab model creation.

This property may change depending on various production factors. The issue I have is how do I get the border to recognize this potential change in fab type and populate the tolerance fields with the necessary information?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Border Colour When Moving Objects On Drawings?

Jan 3, 2014

Is there an option to set the default colour for object borders? Our drawing templates have a black background. If I want to move a text or a view, all that is shown while moving the text or view is a rectangular border. Unfortunately this is also black and thus invisible. So you never really know where you move your object to.
