I have an issue when using Auto Balloon.
Lets say for e.g. that I have 12 parts within an assembly, once auto balloon has done it’s job you notice that No. 9 balloon is blank and No. 10 balloon only shows 1 and not 10.
If we can access the Auto Balloon Command using Inventor Drawing API.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a macro which will attach a custom sketched symbol with a leader to some specific parts in a view. By modifying some sample code I managed to create a macro which will attach the sketched symbol to the currently selected edge (see code below). However I would like to select the view and let the code cycle trough all the parts and check the filename or a custom iProperty. If the filename has a certain pattern or a specific custom iProperty exists it should add the sketched symbol. I don't really see how I should do this, I can get a reference to the selected view and as far as I can see I can use the referencedfiledescripter to open the assembly and cycle through the occurences. However I don't see how I can use this to add the sketched symbol to the occurence in the drawing view.
' Set a reference to the drawing document. ' This assumes a drawing document is active. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument ' Set a reference to the active sheet. Dim oActiveSheet As Sheet Set oActiveSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet ' Set a reference to the drawing curve segment. ' This assumes that a drwaing curve is selected.

How are arrowhead attachment locations calculated when using the Automatic Balloon command? Arrowheads seem to attached to objects at rather strange places!
I normally use auto-ballooning to place balloons within a drawing and then "season to taste". Is there a way to control how and where the arrowhead gets attached to an object?
Im working with IV2012 and my autodrop feature doesn't work altough the checkbox in the content center is checked on. i can't seem to find a solution on my own.
As far as I know the feature has never worked since I went from IV2011 to IV2012. (alot of troubles in the beginning btw, most of it is gone since service pack installed)
Is there some way we can turn off the auto highlight feature in inventor 2012? I am working in a large assembly and every time I move the cursor over the assembly it is trying to pre highlite parts and assemblys and it really causing alot of delay in my work.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have views of a large system that will constantly stay in a "updating" mode.
However you can place another base view of the same system from a different perspective and that view will solve out.
In the attached image the view on the left will not finish updating while the view on the right solve out rather quickly.
In an idw views of an assembly with positions aren't represented correctly.
In the iam in is necessarry to update for an correct representation of the position.
But when a update of the view in the idw is forced, the view isn't correct!
I ticked association of the view in the idw.
I also installed the latest hotfix for Inventor 2012.
Is there any way to stop the flipping of the solid/sketch view from iso to normal?
its annoying to make changes to a sketch and constantly have to re orient the part after finishing a sketch, I dont want the solid model to return to iso view after sketching, is there a setting for this?
Where did the Design View Representation Icon go in 2012?

Is there a way to convert an Inventor 2012 view scale from "0.5" to "1:2" or similar within an iLogic rule? I can extract the main view scale and plug it into a variable but the format isn't correct for the drawings I'm creating.

I am preparing a weld map for our welding shop, and they would like me to balloon each joint and create a table with each joint's number, so that the welder/pressure tester can sign off. Is there a way to balloon joints and not parts, or make a custom ballooning scheme?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a hatched sketch on one of my views to represent filler material. I want to balloon to this hatched area, but it want grab it. I have the filler material setup as a custom part. I can also create a sketched symbol for this, but it doesn't appear that they would accept it either.
I am currently running Inventor 2010 Build 272, Release: 2010-sp3
I am trying to modify the code Brian Ekins posted on Mod the Machine to renumber balloons across sheets. [uRL ....
It works great unless the item on the additional sheet is a sub-assembly. I believe it is because PartDef is declared as a PartComponentDefinition and there is nothing in the code to handle an assembly.
Dim partDef As PartComponentDefinition
Set partDef = drawBOMRow.BOMRow.ComponentDefinitions.Item(1)
partInfo(I - 1).ReferencedFile = partDef.Document.FullFileName
The Set partDef line was giving me a runtime error when it came to an assembly in the BOM until I added
"On Error Resume Next" at the start of the loop.
I tried changing the declaration to ComponentDefinition. It compiled fine, but didn't do anything. I think I'll have to add some duplicate code to handle an assembly in the BOM. Is there a better way to do this? Am I even on the right track?
How do I attach text to a balloon? For example, I want to add the text "2X" alongside the balloon to denote that there are 2 instances of this part.
I can't believe that you need to make a text box each and every time you need to do this! There has to be a simpler way.
If a balloon style is set to "Linear" the text in that balloon is automatically left aligned. If a balloon style is set to "None" the text in that balloon is automatically center aligned.
Is it possible to create a balloon with the balloon style set to "None", and have the text left aligned in a drawing document. Typically the balloon text is more that one line . The new line in inserted by pressing ctrl+Enter in the override value of the balloon.
I dont know if this is possible but what i am trying to do is create a custom detail ballon & outline similar to what is attached. this is how our client wants it to look & currently we create the detail & then sketch the outline & add a sketched symbol which has the identifier. We then turn off the detail layer which has the default outline.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using balloons to get information from parts, then writing that part info to a custom table. I need to keep track of which balloon corresponds to which table row.
Is there some object/property of Balloon where I can store a single number or string? I'm already using the value field, so that's unavailable to me.
Also, one balloon corresponds to one table entry. That means I cannot create a custom iProperty in the part the balloon is attached to since more than one balloon may reference the same part.

I need a macro to auto label, with DIMLINEAR, the lines for Rafters with the lenghts. I have the Dimension Styles set up for each roof pitch, but need a macro to auto label the line instead of clicking each line individually. Also, I can't find a ROUNDUP feature in the Dimension Styles. I've got it to round to the nearest 2' but it won't go up....if it's 11' it goes to 10'...I need it to go to 12'.
