AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Item Total Quantity By Subassembly
Nov 26, 2013
I would like to obtain, in a structured parts list, the total number of ITEM in the sub-assembly.
See the picture attached for the example.
I have found an iLogic rule to create an user ipropertie in each part, with the total nomber of this part in all the assemby (included all sub-assemblies).
I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the total of this part only in the sub-assembly. Is it possible with an iLogic rule or VBA ?

(in Inventor Pro 2014,64 bit):
I've made an stairs assembly that contains adaptive parts that are all controlled by the assembly parameters.
Here is my assembly and the controlling parameters. The stringers on the side are made with the frame generator and use the "extend" feature to get the appropriate length, as driven by the parameters. The reason I used frame generator is so that I can easily change sizes of the stringers down the road, if needed. I chose to make the parts associative so I could control all of the parameters from within the assembly instead of opening each part separately.
My goal now is to be able to use this assembly (or something similar) as a template to create new sets of stairs, all to be placed in the same main assembly.
I attempted to duplicate all of the parts (append a "2" at the end of each file name and replace components in the new set of stairs with the 2nd version) but ran into problems with the two stringers. I can't figure out what to do to get the Frame00001 and Skeleton00001 to reassociate to Frame00002 and Skeleton00002. So any time I change my slope, the original stairs will end up trying to copy the new stringers instead of keeping the old ones.
how can I make this assembly reference a new frame, and secondly?

I'm trying to change the value of the qty in the bom using ilogic with this expression
ThisBOM.OverrideQuantity("Model Data", "Steps", "QTY_STEPS")
but it gives me the following error
Conversion from string "QTY_STEPS" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

Our Autocad parts lists used to calculate the weight of parts times the quantities. Now we are using Inventor and I see that the weight shown on a parts list is the weight of an individual part - although the quantity could be 2 , 3 (more than one). Is there a way to have the total weight shown equal to MASS times ITEM QTY?

I am having a bit of trouble with my "Parts List". What I want to be able to do is show the top level assembly quantity in my part drawing. From our fabricators point of view it would be eisier if they could open/pick up a part drawing and see the total quantity needed to be produced before looking at any assembly drawings. So they could produce all individual parts then grab what they need to produce sub-assemblies. I would like to do the same for my subassembly "Part list" where I would show the total need to produce my final assembly.
So far I can only show my quantity as 1 in the parts list for a single part or subassembly, or use a static value and add the quantity by hand which can change through our design/re-design process, not to mention be extremely time consuming.

I have a piece of steel from the content centre 165mm long. The balloon (stacked format) quantity reads 165.000mm. I've had to format the parts list to get rid of the decimal places but I can't find a way of getting rid of them in the balloon. Any format setting somewhere?

How can I have a component from the content library have its 'BASE QUANTITY' default to 'EACH' when I bring it into my assembly? Each time I have to reset this to 'EACH' when inserted into my assembly.
This happens in either frame generator or just placing from content center.

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.

Im trying to generate a list of parts and assemblies that has all the quantities included in it.Ive found that if i use the structured view it does not multiply the part count by the number of assemblies, so if i export the bill of materials i wont get the actual number of parts that i require.
If i use the parts only list then it wont include the sub assemblies.the job that im working on has hundreds of sub assemblies and thousands of parts so manually adding them up is not an option.Using Inventor 2014 Pro.

I need to change the Base Quantity of family templates in CC from GL = ... to Each. (I know there are several different qty, but I need this to Each because of ERP-system).
I use open from CC and place a tube in an iam, and changing BOM-settings to Each on that tube. Then I replace template in the family in CC editor with this file. And everything seems OK.
When I use "Place from CC" and place a tube from this family, everything is in perfect order. The ipt has Base Quantity set to Each just like I wanted.
I use Frame Generator and insert tubes from this family, then the Base Quantity "bounce" back from Each of GL = ...
I need this to work also in Frame Generator.

My customer is having trouble with the part list feature inside the Inventor 2D drawing.
For example, He has a car assembly file with 4 wheels and alot more subassemblies, then he creates a view representation which only visible for 1 wheel.
When he generates the part list in Inventor 2D drawing, he go to part list >filter setting and set to ‘’Assembly view representation’’ but the quantity for the part list is still showing as 4 as per attachment.
change the value manually inside the part list table?

When I use ImportSubassembly API to import my subassembly created by Autodesk Subassembly Composer into my civil project, it reports error-"eFilerError".
the code like this:
atcFile = @"D:9f92eaa4ef514ac982518852e1169932.atc";
itemId = "ab660722-c69d-4ade-b373-0e9f99c94e55";
SubassemblyCollection subassemblyCollection = cDoc.SubassemblyCollection;
ObjectId subassemblyId = subassemblyCollection.ImportSubassembly("TestSubassembly", atcFile, itemId, this.doc.Editor.GetPoint("Select import subAssembly location").Value);
However, it is OK if to import subassembly provided by Cilvil 3D.

I want to know if it is possible to calculate the water displacement volume of an assembly if it were immersed in water.
In other words, I want to create a file in which ALL hollow spaces inside structural members, valves, pipework etc are assumed to be solid so that when that assembly is dropped in water, the total volume of water being displaced will be equal to the iProperty value for volume. I know its possible to hole patch when creating a shrinkwrap, but this is only effective for 'circular' hollow spaces and does not fill obscure or rectangular shaped empty volumes.

i have an already edited part list (because there are parts that come from different assemblies and other ones that don't have to appear in that part list) and i like to show the total weight of my drawing, that doesn't correspond with any assembly.
So, there is any possibility of summing up the values of a part list column.

I am well versed with the FEA system, however I do not see any way to get total pressure or load on a face. I know the info is there, the results let me probe points on the face, I just cannot find a way to get the total.
I have attached an image that illustrates the situation.
I will even dive into iLogic again if it is possible to achieve my goal there.

How I can get my parts list to show a total weight? Obviously, getting the weight of each part into the parts list is easy. However, I have not been able to find a way to automatically get a total weight for the entire assembly.

I'm laying out a drawing with all tabletops used in our project for a linolium- fitter to set a price on covering the about 12 tabletops in total.
I dont know if this is correct English or if it make sense at all, but what I was wondering about was: Could you retrieve the total m2 of all the tabletops in a drawing? Or do I have to go back to the aim and get them one by one?

I use my parts list to generate a total length in inches of the same part that is used in several places in my assemblies. I then export it to excel, convert it to feet, etc. I've been doing this for some time now and it works great. The problem I am now having is I forgot how I got this magic to happen and I need to set another part to appear with it's total length in the list. From what I remember I set the QTY column in the parts list to show the length of the part and then I set the parts list to merge the same parts. For the life of me I can't remember how I did this. How this is done correctly?
All of the parts are created by the frame generator if this matters.

Being all new and complete virgin-like, to ilogic, I would like to know wether it is possible to analyze a sketch (wenn it is being closed)?
What I want to analyze is:
Does the sketch contain a fully constrained closed loop?
Does this closed loop consist only of straight lines?
What is the total number of lines in the loop?
Next fase is:
Create an excel-sheet with the following information:
For each line in this closed loop i wish to add the length of the line, and the angle to the next line (consequently on the internal side of the loop, resulting in angles from 0 to 180 degrees).

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?

I use flat piano hinges on doors for many of the machines we build. I would like to be able to calculate the total length of multiple doors on a single machine. We buy these hinges so it needs to go on a buy out parts list.
So here is my problem:
To make it a useable hinge I build an assembly from two hinge halves.
This allows me to check for interference within the machine when the door gets opened.
I set the BOM structure of the assembly to purchased so it shows up on my buy out list.
Both halves of the hinge are set to normal.
There are hinges of different lengths on the same machine.
I can link a parameter of one of the halves to the assembly to show length of the hinge but I cannot set the BOM base qty on the assembly to that parameter so Inventor can add up the lengths.
When I group the items in a buyout parts list the result is "0." The individual assemblies show the correct length because I use the "length" parameter that is linked for the QTY in the parts list. But I cant "add" the lengths and have a total whe I group them.
I need to have mixed units in this list. Some things are bought as Each and these hinges are bought in length.

I have a feeling this goes way back to the first release of INV we had (release 14?). Basically the merged FG member length seems to be calculated using the member centre line instead of real lengths. See the attached Pack-N-Go.
The view on the left is a Merged FG member. The view in the middle is individual FG members based on a line of symmetry in the same sketch. Both are placed using the mid point option in the FG dialogue. The views on the right are the 3 separate members used for the middle view.
The Merged length shows 722 mm whereas adding the 3 member lengths (RH view) equals 740 mm. 18 mm short, or 2 sets of 9 mm (shown in the middle view) which represents the end cuts to the middle member in the RH view.

I have a frame generator assembly that I created to take advantage of the frame analysis tools. This assembly was later broken down into the main fabricated assemblies (for drawing purposes) using the "demote frame generator component" tools. The basic question is this: can I take one of the "demoted" sub-assemblies and move it to another assembly file all-together?
best way to move the four legs from the platform assembly to the tank assembly after the fact? I was thinking I would just place the leg sub-assembly into the tank assembly and then delete it out of the platform one but I'm not sure of the ramifications.

How to transfer a sub-assembly location to another sub-assembly location (Same orientation and location)?
I'm doing with equipments(Pressure vessels and heat exchanger). I would like make all nozzle location to be in 0 degree and 90 degrees angle if horizontal equipment and 90 degrees and 270 degrees angle if vertical equipment.
How can I know the XYZ axis on corresponding locations without having a reference to another nozzle?(If no nozzle in 0 degree and 90 degree angle of the equipment, so on and so forth).

In my head assembly I have a subassembly that has derived parts from my skeleton. My skeleton (part ending with skt in the picture) is in the subassembly.
In this subassembly I made a view representation: NoSKT..When this is activated the skeleton is hided (see picture).If I now make a pattern of this subassembly in my head assembly with for example a parameter from my embedded excel or a parameter in inventor "quantity = 2" inventor will add 1 element with the same view representation. Still no problem.
The problem is now when I change the parameter. If I change the quantity to for example 3, the view representation of the third element is gone and the skeleton will become visible.I have many parts like this in my head assembly and quite a lot of patterns. Which means a lot of skeletons become visible. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
