AutoCAD Inventor :: CC Published Parts - (VARIES) In Columns?

Nov 4, 2011

I noticed on my parts list that I had an item that was listed as *Varies* in the description, and part # columns I have set.  Seen it before, so I went to my BOM and saw that it's a part that I've published to the CC.

Thought, OK, go and replace the 12 parts that I needed to.  Tried the "Replace All" and it still came up on my BOM as *Varies*.

Went through and replaced each part in the assembly one at a time.  Still shows up in BOM as *Varies*.

I thought that when I publish parts to the CC, they become Read-Only, and I can't edit any of the iProperties or the part itself.

In the attached BMP, I've cut out the offending row in my BOM.  All the columns are greyed out to where I can't edit anything, as designed...

Why would these published parts come up as *Varies* in 2 of my columns if the values I've set when I published them would never change??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Select Parameters For Export In Parts That Already Published?

Sep 14, 2006

How do you select parameters for export in parts that have already been published?

I have a part that I have published. There are some parameters that Ii would like to have available to the Parts List upon creation. I don't see a way to do this after the part has been published. I have been able to select the parameters for export before publishing and they will be marked for export when the part is placed form the content Center.2010 Suite-SP4 64bit

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List - Adding Addition Blank Columns

Nov 8, 2011

I have a situation where I need to add additional columns to a parts list.

These columns will not be a standard inventor column option, I need to put a specific number for reference in that column.

I start by double clicking on the parts list to bring up the editing option. Then I click on "Column Chooser" where I can personalize the parts list.

There is an option to add a "blank" column, which is great, but I need to add more than one.

Every time i add the "blank" column it disappears from the "Available Properties" it goes to the "Selected Properties" side and then when I click on "New Property" to add another "blank" column, it wont let me.

When trying to add the new property I am pressing the "space bar" key in order to leave it blank, but it just wont show as an "add" option in the "aAvailable Properties" section.

The reason I am not typing in the specific numbers is because I want them to be vertical and not horizontal - this saves me space on the drawing.

I've done this before, yet I cannot duplicate what I've done in the past and it's driving me insane.

how I can add multiple "blank" columns.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Mass Varies

Nov 16, 2012

In assembly file - BOM - mass property, parts with the same name (part number) i get "VARIES"..Parts have a little bit different mass - 0,167kg and 0,168kg. I do not want to have different part number.

So, i'm going to do something like this in iLogic :

iProperties.MassOfComponent("fi_N1:1")=Round(iProperties.MassOfComponent("fi_N1:1"),1)

it works but is there any way to do it for all parts (hundreds) automagically in the loop (iLogic or VB) ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Bill Of Materials Varies

Jun 12, 2013

I am seeing this "varies" message on certain items in my BOM but can't tell where the incosistencies are.  The strange thing is that my part number LCVINYL is showing the correct length of material while the Unit Quantity is showing "varies".  Normally this would make me think that the inconsistency is in the name only.  Where should I be looking to correct this? 

BTW all of these LCVINYL parts were created in the frame generator if that matters.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart Features Disappear When Published

Oct 16, 2013

The attached IPart works wonderfully for all sizes, shows no errors or recovery alerts.

The problem is that once it is published, the ORB end changes for any size 1/2" (8) or under.

It just turns into a Hex head, I don't understand what the problem is.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Manually Adjustable Columns In A BOM

Feb 28, 2013

I'm doing a revision rearrangement and would like to add to the BOM New, Existing, and Relocated properties.  The problem is that each individual component may be unique.  Ie.  I have a desk w/ 3 identical monitors.  One monitor is existing and the others are new.  I'd like to have the BOM show that I have 3 monitors, 2 are new and 1 is existing.  The BOM would have 4 columns, one for the total number of parts and 3 for the New, Existing, and Relocated counts. 

I don't mind if the new columns need to be manually updated.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto-changing Values In BOM Columns

Nov 2, 2011

Is there any way that values in BOM columns would automatically change depending on the characteristics of the part?

Example:

I have a parametric metal rod that depending on its length has a different part number assigned to it in our company's catalog.

When I change its length  in parametric assembly (50" rod is has different number than 70" rod) I want the part number to change as well in the "part number" column.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Showing Two Instances Of Parts List And Adding Custom Parts

Mar 30, 2012

On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List.  Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list.  On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.

On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3.  Two of those Three are optional parts.  What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.

I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing.  Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone.  I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description.  I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).

Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible.  Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Creating Parts With Work Planes Defined By Other Parts

May 2, 2013

I am working on an assembly that is designed around a box (bounding box) that could change size.  I modeled the bounding box and placed it in a new assembly file.  All other parts have been created within the assembly by referencing that bounding box with starting work plane and project geometry.

The problem comes in when I change the bounding box dimensions.  The work planes for each additional part, which were defined by the faces of the bounding box, do not move when the sides move.  Also, my projected geometry is not updating correctly.  This is a simple box, with all 90° corners.  So, all associated parts (at this point) are just rectangles.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Virtual Parts Weight Total BOM And Parts List

Aug 7, 2013

I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013

I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.

In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).

I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.

If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.

The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?

Dec 9, 2013

Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing?  I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.

For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3.  "Worry when there's something to worry about."
