I need to capture a portion of a file path that is in the middle of the entire path.
For example
C:Vault WorkspaceEngineering810810-050000Model
I just want to capture the 810-050000 part. The portion before that may be different lengths, the Model portion will always be the same.
I was wondering if there was an option to set Inventor to display the full file path for the current file open ? At present I am only seeing a short description of the name of the active file - I wish to see it's full file path similar to what AutoCAD displays.

I'm trying to select a portion of a path by using the direct selection tool and shift clicking on the anchor points. But when I click and drag the brush over onto the path, the brush stroke is applied to the entire path..... which I dont want to happen. I only want it applied to the section of the path.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a standard install of Inventor 2012 SP2, but for some reason it cant seem to find the images for IBL effects. See attached Screen shot, when I go to select an item there is nothing there.
I have found the files in the "c:userspublicautodeskenviroments" folder but why Inventor cant see them?I have looked in "App options" in the "file" tab and in the project file and I cant see any pathing options that relate to the enviroments?
The default images for textures and bumpmaps are all found OK just not the IBL files? How I can set the path to these enviroment images?
I'm looking to get the file path of a selected part/assembly while inside of an assembly. I think I found something that can get it but the example is just different enough I can't figure it out and I don't have time to play with it. There also might be an easier way I couldn't find while searching.
This is the example code that seems to be able to do loads of things including get the full path, if you know what you're doing.

When i attempt to open an IGS file i get "an unnnamed files contains an incorrect path"
I thought it could have been a corrupted file but its not.Tried to create my own IGS file (successful) attempted to open that and failed.Downloaded an IGS file from Autodesk, failed as well.I was having issues opening other files but i updated the video drivers on my Dell M6600.

After setting the Application Options-File tab paths to our company standard and manually restarting IV the paths all revert to "%PUBLIC DOCUMENTS % default paths. Our IT guy is having the hardest time tracking down the root cause, Both users are on stand alone licenses.
1. Where does IV pick up these default file paths? Can I modify that .xml manually as a workaround?
2. How to identify the folders to look for that don't have adequate red-write permissions?
How to pull the path & file name of an IPT from within an IDW?
If I use this line from within an IDW:
ModelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)
it will simply return the file name of the corresponding IPT.
I want to be able return the path for the IPT from within the IDW as well.

I have a "steelplt.png" file that Inventor tells me is not in the correct library path. The problem is that it is in the correct path as defined by the project file. I cannot check in dwg because the "steelplt.png is not in the correct library path".

How, or if it is possible to change the default file location for a tube and pipe run?
I know that you can browse out and modify the file path on your initial save but is there any way to change the default?
Example of what the default is: (assembly part number = 123456)
location for Tube and Pipe runs: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456123456AIPTube and Pipe
location for Run File: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456123456AIPTube and PipeRun01
example of what I would like the default pathing to be:
location for Tube and Pipe runs: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456
location for Run File: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456
basically I would like to remove the sub folders so all files are saved in one folder location.
My company is using inventor routed systems 2010.
I'm looking for some direction to follow to modify an existing design. I am trying to thicken left and right walls in order to make the inner section narrower. However, none of my attempts have been successful. I am not looking for learning materials for CAD, but rather a solution to this specific problem.

I then go into the sketch and draw two lines perpendicular to two existing lines, which gives me a smaller rectangle in one of the corners of my large rectangle. I then want to go into the extrude feature and "deselect" the small rectangle. How do I deselect?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow to remove a portion from this part. I need the beige colored "lump" removed and it needs to be smooth with the other suffaces.
I can copy the surfaces and then do a patch, but the new surface does not look right. It has a buldge in it.
Also tried "Delete face" which I use all the time, but it does not work here.
I have a cdr file that has a few objects in it with a primary outline. Parts of the design extend outside the primary outline. If I want to select only what is inside that primary outline, how would I do that? If I could draw a multi point shape (such as an octagon) and say select what is inside that octagon that would probably accomplish what I'm looking for. I could provide the file if needed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedActually, I have more than 6 years experience on Catia V5 customization and vb and vb.net catia API's. What I am trying to do know is converting some applications or programs running on catia to the inventor.
The first program deal with the inventor API relating to the SweepFeatures class. So my first problem is about to find the right way to use the sketch3D for the creation of the path which is the input of the sweep method.
(oInvPartFeats.SweepFeatures.AddUsingPath(oInvProfile, oInvProfPath3D, kNewBodyOperation).
I know That is possible to create a path by using the CreatePath method when the input is SketchLines or any guide curve in the 2D Plan. Also, I tried to generate path by using the ProfilePath3D method of the sketch3D class but No way, the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures Class doesn't accept it as path Input.
So I cannot imagine that is limitation of inventor because it was possible to do it by using the seep function of the model tab in the ipart document. How to create the path object as an input of the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures class.
Is there a way to have a view in a sheet that displays a few specific components of an master assembly? There is a motor/gear-box assembly within my master assembly that I don't want to make a separate assembly for BOM purposes, but I want a .ipn view with the motor/gear-box "assembly" exploded. I tried making everything else in the master assembly "not visible" for the particular .ipn view, which works fine, but if I add or replace anything in the master assembly, those additions appear in the motor/gear-box .ipn and screw up the view.
I could just make a whole new assembly for the motor/gear-box and use that for the exploded view, but I would rather the view update to reflect slight changes I make in the motor/gear-box "assembly" from within the master assembly.
So can I create a .ipn view and say, "I want these particular components of an assemly to appear in this view but nothing else"?
I'm trying to create an assembly and there's one part of one piece I'm struggling with. I attached a quick sketch I made of it. I'm struggling with the bend portion that I lined in. If my drawing doesn't make sense, that piece is 5" long, the bend is 5/8", and it's a cylinder. I'm sure it's really easy but I'm blanking. I've tried the bend tool to no avail.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Pro X3 with Windows 7. I opened up MPG video I captured from HD Canon camera yesterday, then trimmed it from the original size to get one portion before dragging it down to the video track. It ran very slow that way, so I dumped the project.
Thought if I opened up the original file (11 GB), it would be fine and I could start over but cut it from the video tract rather than the clip, but now the portion I had trimmed is blacked out for video on the original "raw" MPG file but the audio is there. I tried it numerous times. On the thumbnail for this original clip, there is the video icon in the left upper corner but also two little video icons next to that. What did I do wrong? and what do the two extra video icons mean?
When I pull the same original (raw) MPG file up in Windows Live Movie Maker it is fine.
I cannot get this program to install. I keep getting a message that the file archive portion of the file is missing, I am not going to spend all day screwing around in a forum chasing my tail. Either have a human being contact me or cancel my order immediately and credit the purchase!
