I am using inv 2012 sp1 and I just noticed in the drawing mode when I set a champhre note the notation has changed? it is now showing C1 or C2 etc. can I go back to the original setting?
View 5 RepliesI have some issues with the notation for physical properties in the Inventor 2013 material editor.
Instead of displaying the obvious first choice metric SI notation kg/m^3 or something similar it display a self made? and awkward N*s^2/mm^4. I don't want this notation. How can I change to something more user friendly? It can be a bit hard to distinguish if a material have 0.00000000001 N*s^2/mm^4 or 0.0000000001 N*s^2/mm^4.
The document properties "units" folder have mm, seconds, degree and kilogram as default.
Autodesk Inventor 2010 - How do I set default for "use standards notation" to off or unchecked in the "Edit Unit Attributes" dialog box for feature control frames? I want to do this because the Feature Control Frame style unit setting does not override it as I believe it should. This causes an extra value within the tolerance box of the feature control frame if the Standard General units differ from the style’s primary units.

1. i received a DWG that has a TIFF image referenced. This 30MB TIFF came in a separate folder (eTransmit) and the path is correct, but i cannot seem to grab the image in model space. the layer that has the xref is not frozen, and i can see the xref in the properties box and unload/load/detach, however i am unable to select or grab it. Was this done intentionally by the author to keep the image intact or is this property of transmitting?
2. The drawing coordinates is appearing in scientific notation and i need them to display all 9 digits. How do i change this?
Using a keynote database on some modernization plans.
The database has keynotes listed as: (1.1,1.5...2.3,2.5...9.13,9.14 etc.)
All other keynotes are fine. When selecting one particular keynote 9.14-Carpet Tile Walk Off Mat (CPT-2)
...instead of 9.14 displaying on the plan like all the other keynotes, this displays: 09 68 00.C1
(I've made sure that only the key is selected to display and not the key and note option from the annotation options list. So that can't be the problem.)
In one of the assemblies I'm editing I have a rule where the parameter changed formats on me. It went from something normal like:
Parameter("Name:1", "Name")=36 to a format like: p534g9_86=36.
How i might be able to track down what was being pointed at so I can correct it? I looked through the assembly and part file parameters but can't find where 36 is being plugged in at.
I am building frame using frame generator. Well, firstly I build a sketch and then afterwards from that sketch I already make frame itself.
What I want to do iis when I am changing length of some frame memebers in a sketch, I want frame members to be changed as well.
For example:
From here you see that everything is ok. Frame members are according to the sketch.
But when I am changing the sketch, frame stais as it is on the first picture without any changes. Previously it was changing, but then something happened and it doesn't change anymore.
For me it seems that reference skeleton of a frame is not referenced to the sketch of the frame .ipt.

I have created a rule that will replace the border sheet when the sheet size will be changed, so users won't have to do it manually.
The problem is that the rule won't run when the sheet size is changed. I find that events for triggering the rules are rather few under drawing enviroment.
I thought to use "iProperty Change" event, providing I assign the SheetSize to a Custom iProperty, but the iProperty won't update automatically as well.

In 2013, glass density is 2.18 g/cm^3. But in older versions, we had that as 2.56 g/cm^3 for many years. Google results range between 2.5 to 2.6 g/cm^3. Why 2013 has much lower value?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have received an email from AutoDesk that contained the following "You will no longer need to update ... - it will automatically be delivered as a software download."
your subscription preferences are "automatically" changed? Yes I will now need to update how the software is delivered because the people at AutoDesk have overridden my settings. Software companies must put their stupidest most arrogant people in their customer/marketing departments. In the case of AutoDesk I believe they outsource those departments to Dassault.
Is this possible to change?
Everytime a measure or position is changed in the skeleton, the units are reset to "0,123", which gives this many decimals for the parameter in the Bill of materials list and drawing partslist.
Ex.
The column "Dimension" in my BOM. The parameter <Rod_Diameter> is imported:
The rod diameter (4,000 mm from the skeleton) is set to export in the parts parameter list, right clicked and given custom property format to only show "4" instead of "4,000 mm"
It's written as "=Ø<Rod_Diameter>" in the custom property "Dimension" for the part (or in a "Dimension" column in the assembly BOM).
Now it tells "Ø4" in the partslist and bill of material. CORRECT!
But if anything is changed in the skelton, with this or another dimension, this parametric setup is reset to show "Ø4,000 mm" again. Too many decimals for my partslist.
That's the problem. With 100 parts in different subassemblies with 2 to 3 exported parameters in each part, it's a lot of setup to get the automatic dimension text in the partslist from the structured BOM if it does not remember the custom proparty format for the parameters.
Could this be setup in any way so that the part keeps it's formatting. It would save ALOT of time or higher the quality for my automated drawings.
My company is trying to put some automation together to pull design attributes of parts and assemblies to drive routing creation in the shop.
The issue that we have run into is that for certain ifeatures, we need to gain access to the name (or punch ID) of an ifeature (primarily punch tools). Pulling the name of the feature that the tool created is relatively easy, but because you are able to change the name of the feature as it appears in the model browser, it isn't the most reliable way to get that information.
We are looking for a way to figure out what the name of the ifeature used to create the feature without referencing the resulting feature's name in the model tree.
I've included an example, and I'm looking for the name of the tool which should be "Ob_750X562".
I don't understand why this Fillet would fail when it was fine before I changed the length of the edge. See before and after shots attached..
The geometry/features that are used to create the fillet are exactly the same.
I have a school project due tomorrow and I am almost completely finished. Except one part says that "Model adjusts correctly as __ varies". When I change a parameter, only that parameter changes and the rest of the part remains the same. I'll attach the assigment. I'll attach my work also if requested.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on an assembly file with some different color components, the color of each component is set to AS MATERIEL. But suddenly the assembly color was changed to one color only, which is the same color as one of the component. I clicked each part, the color is still set to AS MATERIAL. I even can not undo it to change the color back.
And from now on, any part was placed to this assembly is changed to assembly one color. Inventor 2012 under Win 7 system.

I have a 2 ECW xrefed as images into a drawing which I use as the aerial xref the problem is when I change the UCS the ecw disappears.
So the image only shows when the ucs is set to WUCS - I should also note that just the image disappears I can still see the image frame.
In a multi-document autocad session, after making changes programmatically in all drawings opened, when closing autocad, I'm only asked to save the changes for the current drawing. The others drawings are closed without asking to save them. The changes are made as I'm expected, but autocad don't aks to save the modified drawings.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi use conceptual in my viewports to give a rough 3D of what i am drawing. some settings have changed that i am not familiar with i would like to restore them to the original settings. the following pics show the difference. Im Not talking about the back ground.
The pic with the black backgroud is not how i like the settings to be. they seem too bright and its kind of glowing.New Settings.jpg...The pic with the white background is what im looking for. the items seem to be a flatter finish to them. If all this makes sense how do i change it back?
I can't see that I changed any setting (never do) or did anything to make it so the instruction line under the Command: window at the bottom of the screen now expects me to enter text, i.e. In the Command Window we have "open", after I clicked on File / Open, but instead of being taken to the usual drop down of my hard drive the bottom line on my monitor reads, "Enter name of drawing to open <.>: The same thing happens if I try to save a drawing.

Some weeks ago I made this drawing for a costumer, which was like this:
When I opened the drawing today it was like this:
As you can see, there are some differences between the two screenshots:
- The texture of the grass changed, now it's les fine;
- The same for the road (you can't see it right now, but it's the same problem as the gras)
- The trees changed, now you can't look 'through' the blocks;
- The color of the cars (blocks) changed, first they had multiple colors, but now they are one (different) color.
I accidentally changed the line weight halfway through my drawing, and many of the lines are printing fat! I know about displaying them on screen, that is not my issue. The fatter lines are not specific to any layers, so in the layer dialogue box all line weights are listed as default. How can I change the lightweights after the fact, without redrawing the whole thing. Also, any line that I add to the drawing is still fat. I am using 2012 Autocad.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI opened my Autocad today to discover that none of the drawings I open are displaying any type of text. This includes dimension text, multi/single line text, and titleblocks. My coworkers can open with text, so I am confident that it is a setting of some sort in my program. I have looked thropugh every menu and option and I have been unable to find the setting that would need to be changed.

When i try to add materials to the "My Materials" library i get the following error :

Midway through my session I must have hit some key combination that changed a global setting of some sort as all of a sudden when selecting objects they no longer show up dashed to show they are selected, the grip points still show but there is no dotted line of the objects.
This happens everywhere including when picking boundaries to hatch......you cant see what boundaries you have selected because the selection line is solid.
This is making life unbelievably difficult, how to reset the selection to a dashed line as opposed to a solid line?
In case I am not being clear, draw a line. Then select it (click on it) and you see it becomes dashed and the grips appear. When I select now just the grips show up and the line stays solid.
I'm really struggling to get my head around "paper space" & "model space". I just made a fairly detailed drawing and printed it in landscape on an A4 sheet. That worked well. But then I changed my mind. I now want to print it in "portrait". Trouble is it needs to be resized, as it keeps missing part of my drawing off the right hand side of the paper.
