View 1 RepliesUsing 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).
If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.
is it possible to create a hole note without pitch.
i use standard thread in most cases so i just want the thread to be shown in the holenote tool on drawings (like M8 not M8x1,25)
I create a hole feature in part and use Hole and Thread function in drawing view. All info displayed correctly, but if the model changes - note does not! the only way to get the new thread/hole designation is by using the Hole and Thread function again.
see print screen attached - I kept changing the model and using Hole and Thread tool couple of times. They all point to the same hole but look at the results..
Reboot does not work...

Aside from manually adding RH or LH to a hole note leader, any way of getting the HOLE Direction (left hand or right hand) into the leader note?

Is it possible to get a Limit/Fit tolerance included in a Hole Note call out, such as H7 etc?
Currently, when I am dimensioning Counter Bore holes, I have to use a general dimension for CBore dia incuding the Limit/Fit tolerance and manually add the hole dia (or visa versa). This means I have to manually update any changes to hole dia.
The "tap drill" option in hole note in idw drawing is gray out. so I was playing around with it and fix the problem luckily.
I go to hole feature model and change thread class from 2B to 3B. then, the "tap drill" option is turn on in idw drawing.
is this correct way to do it? i have few drawing to fix it. is there a faster way?

I am using 2011 version of inventor.
In drafting while creating note of hole there is no breaking point for arrow there is only straight arrow line( pls find attached file of DIM 01). I am not getting any setting for the same.
I want notation having breaking point. ( Ref attachment Dim -2)
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.
When using alternate dimensions in hole notes it repeats the full note for both dimension units. I would like to only have the dimensional data have the alternate information and not repeat the full note (see attached file).

I have found an problem with change text on drawing note trough API.
Situation:
Create leader note in empty drawing
Change text on this note with following
Public Sub Run()Dim oDoc As DrawingDocumentSet oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim oNotes As DrawingNotesSet oNotes = oDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingNotesoNotes(1).FormattedText = "abcd"Debug.Print oNotes(1).Color.ColorSourceTypeEnd Sub
Then edit text stnadrda dialog, result is that color of text is changed from bylayer to overwited color.Strange is that trough api is color still set as bylayer.

How can I change thread note from M12x1.75 to M12?
For our drawing standard, we don’t put the standard thread pitch into the thread note, and we have to manual to over write the thread note. But when the thread size changes and the note never get updated. Is there any other way to get the note to link to the thread size?
Trying to get the tolerance on a hole to be what I want. I changed the tolerance on the hole, but my idw did not change. When I went back and looked at the tolerance on the hole, it was back to the original value. No matter what I do, it will not change to what I want it to be in the part. Here is a short video.
The dimension I am changing is .9688 and it keeps jumping back to .9686 when I go back into the hole tolerance.
Tried other values too and they would not take either...

I created an idw and annotated all the dimensions in default to inches. Is it possible to switch all of the units from inches to mm at one time? If so, how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy drawing template title block has a section for estimated weight. This value and overall size is used to determine shipping methods of our products. This value is pulled from the Type->Physical Properties-Model and Property->MASS. There is no option to turn off units. When our clients look at the drawing, they often get confused with lbmass unit. example; When someone asks what the weight of the product is, we dont say it is 1300 pound mass, we say it is 1300 pounds. I have looked around all different forums and found no complete answer or solution to this.
The only thing closest to a solution that I found on this forum is to create a rule that creates a custom iproperty within the model. [URL]........
You then have to create a text field in your title block that populates from that custom iproperty but can only be done when a base view is inserted from a model that has the custom iproperty rule applied.
From what I have tried, you can create a .ipt template to save you from creating that rule to create a custom iproperty each and every time, but to populate the title block field, a user needs to create that text field and draw from that custom iproperty once the base view is set on the drawing.
I also found a way to incorporate mass without units but the information will be put into the parts list. So instead of the weight being "automatically" entered into the title block after inserting base view, I could create a parts list for every drawing. (Not a good solution) [URL].........
One last solution that I found, is there used to be a tool called iProperty Collection[URL]....... that gave users the ability to customize some Inventor functions. One being the ability to change the unit displayed for MASS. I haven't tried using this tool because the last update off the website stated in 2009; says the software is not compatible with Inventor 2009 64bit, since I am using Inventor 2012 64bit, I think this is a dead end.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe hole table has a column named description, but in that column i want to change the defaults for the thread, i don't need the thread class, for example.
I can add or remove thread properties to the table, but i don't want to, i want to use the general Description column, which describes not only threads.
I am after a rule to change the unit type of all .ipts from cm to mm.
This has to go down to all levels in hierarchy but only change .ipt files
Is it possible to change the units of measure in the iProperties from lbmass to tons for instance? I deal with very large, heavy concrete objects and tons is the way we show mass. Also use cubic yards instead of cubic inches.

For example, instead of my thickness to be 0.5, I want it to show 1/2 in. I know you can do this manually in the table editor, but I cannot find any bits of code that will do it in VB automatically.

My part is in inch and the style too, is it a bug or a setting? I don't know...
Even if I change the style, custom of default, always the same.
Whenever I start a new part, I have to change the units in 5-6 clicks to metrics. And next time I have to do the same all over again.
Is there a way to do this permanently?
