AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View Representation Change Crash?
Oct 19, 2011I have a main assembly with two major subassemblies with one of them I want the representations to be set as Defualt instead of master but when I do this and change the size of my parts Inventor crashes, if I leave it set to master it works fine but parts with visibility turned off still show in the iam and dwg files. If I try to change the representation after changing dimensions Inventor also crashes. I can individually open the sub assemblies and everything works fine.

Sep 27, 2013After upgrading to Inventor 2014 we notice that the graphics do not work properly, and that the overall performance in drawings and modelling bad compared to 2013. Then we installed SP1 and now drawing views are disappearing, however when we select "shaded" view the view reappears and works perfectly..
Any workaround regarding disappearing views?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View In Idw
Apr 12, 2012I'm having a problem with getting design views to show up properly in idw's. I have turned off visibility in the model of the parts and patterns that I don't want to show. When I insert a view into an idw using the design view, the patterns are still visible. Take a look at the screen shots. I have patterned hardware and idlers and they are not visible in the model, but they are in the drawing view.

Nov 29, 2011I know this wasn't possible in the past (and probably still isn't now) but does any trick or something to only get the qty/parts used in a certain design view rep.
We are starting to do work orders (routings) with parts lists for ONLY whats used in that step in the process. Having to manually count screws,etc.. seems silly now.
Design view reps works excellent for showing the assembly process of a product but the parts list (even filtered to that design view rep) shows the total quantity of each component..not just the count in that design view rep.
Any possibility of doing this with ilogic or something?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View With Occurrence
Aug 21, 2013I am working on some codes that let me make some change on visibility of occurrence. So I am I main assembly, and 3 occurrences of the same sub-assembly. The sub assembly was saved on a design view named hole that is hiding some occurrences.
if I work with one of those sub assembly (checkOcc as component occurrence)and then I try this:
Debug.Print("Occurence name: " + CheckOcc.Name)
Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
CheckOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default")
Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
The first time I check for the name, the result is empty, but is should hole as it's what I can see in the browser. then I change it to default.The result of that, the representation views disappear from the browser for that occurrence and still, the name is return as empty...then I carry on with turning on the hidden occurrences.
objCol.Add(checkocc)
dv.SetVisibilityOfOccurrences(objCol, visibility)
The result, all the hidden occurrence appear ALSO on the other subassemblies... It look that it's affecting all the Designview of all occurrence of that name...then, if I try the reverse, by turning it off... the switch off on the other occurrences but not the one that is checkoff!!
AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View Representation - Add Using IMates
Jun 17, 2013Is there a secret to having the Design View Reps stay on the right settings when using Occurrences.AddUsingIMates? I've got a master top level assembly that I'm bringing other iLogic modules into by using an iLogic form in the master top level assembly. The form calls a rule that makes a copy of the module assembly in the same file location as the master TLA. It then adds the module TLA to the master TLA using iMates, and calls an external rule to copy all the sub files from the module into that file location and replace them in the module TLA. The user then calls the module's configuration form using a button on the master TLA's form.
I've been using a line of code to set the DVR back to default and associative for the module, but now that has stopped working and it immediately goes back to Master after running the rule, or even if I try and set it by hand. But if I bring the same module in and place it using the Place button, it comes in correctly. I've even added a NameValueMap for the DVR optional argument on AddUsingiMates and that hasn't work.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Unlock And Design View Reps?
Nov 27, 2012I have a assembly with several locked design view reps.
I insert a couple of new parts to assembly.
Now, do i have to manually unlock each of the design reps to have these new parts visible in the each of then design view reps?
If yes, any macro or ilogic tool to do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Missing Design View Representation From 2013
Jan 8, 2013My company have recently upgraded from Inventor 2010 to Inventor 2013, on the whole I like it a lot better but there is one feature I can't find or Autodesk have removed. I have attached an image of what I mean if I haven't explained it very well but on the browser bar there used to be a drop down 'design view representation' that you could change back to 'master' quickly. I found this very useful as I often use the 'visible' tool to hide parts then want to unhide them all at once. Is there another way of doing what I want or does this tool exist hidden away somewhere else?

Jul 8, 2013I can find a method to copy a Design View to a Level of Detatil (DesignViewRepresentation.CopyToLevelOfDetail)
But the opposite way (i.e. LevelOfDetailRepresentation.CopyToDesignView) doesn't seem to exist - it is possible in the GUI.
Will I have to traverse the complete structure and set visibillity one by one to obtain the function then? Or are there a better/faster way to go?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View Representation Incorrect Display
Apr 20, 2013I have a client that is having difficulty with Design View Representations. He has approximately 15 view representations, each having items in different states of visibility. The icons display the modes of visibility correctly, however, there are no objects visible in the graphics window at all. Additionally, the option, "Find in Window" is missing when right-clicking on visible objects. Only when he copies the View Representation over to a LOD, and then saves that back out to a VR, do the graphics in the window appear correctly. Then the Option, Find in Window shows up and is available.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Client Feature Visibility In Design View Representations
Jan 13, 2014I have an assembly with a client feature that contains client graphics.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Design Copy - Unable To Change Component Names?
Aug 11, 2011I'm finally wrapping up work on an iLogic Configurator project and have started to brainstorm the best workflow to get this "Smart Assembly" into the design group's hands. I had been anxiously awaiting the new "iLogic Design Copy" feature in IV2012, but just recently learned that users are unable to effectively rename any components with this command.
Is this really true? If we can add prefixes or suffixes, what's stopping us from changing the entire filename? We haven't upgraded to 2012 yet, but it seems like this may be a silly and unjustifiable restriction to a command that would otherwise save our designers hours of "file-management" (ie, manually renaming parts in Explorer, component replace in assy's, replace references in idw's, etc) each week.
Long story short, it seems that every workflow I've come across has had some sort of silly limitation that makes it undesireable for my application:
My top-level assembly contains all of the rules, and changes parameter values in the referenced skeletal parts. It also swaps standard parts for other standard parts as needed.I need access to rename ALL files (idw's, top-level assembly, subassemblies, and base components) while still maintaining/updating all internal hyperlinks between them.iLogic rules must be carried over to the new copied components (the existing "Copy Assembly" command strips the assembly of all rules). In light of the iLogic Design Copy's apparent shortcomings, any better workflow?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Base View
Jan 24, 2013I was wondering if there was a way to change the model my base views were linked to.
If I wanted to link the base view to a different model, would this be possible.
When I double click on the base view it shows the file path for the model that is currently chosen; however, it is all grey and I am unable to edit it or choose another file path.
How to change this? Is this even possible? Is it because I have annotated the drawing view that I am unable to change the model path?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Change The View BOM Refers To?
Aug 13, 2013I created an iassembly with several dozen configurations, and I need to see all the layers in the BOM. I can't do that with an iassembly. (This is where I learned this unfortunate truth.)
I reopen the 2d, the BOM reset itself to one layer, and any editing had dissappeared. (I need to make all titles of subassemblies not visible, and reorder a few components.)
If I drop a configuration in its own assembly, I can show all layers. If I use Design Assistant to copy the first drawing/assembly for another configuration, the views update just fine, but the BOM still references the original file's assembly. I can delete it and drop a new one, but I have to edit the BOM again.
If I drop the iassembly into an assembly by itself, I can't get the BOM to cooperate. I can set the Structured Properties to all all levels, and expand subassemblies, but it doesn't save. I can open BOM properties in the assembly, and they're all collapsed again. In the drawing, the Level is set to All Levels, but only the iassembly is displayed.
Are there any ways to change what the BOM is referencing? I'd rather not drop in a new one as the BOM would have to be ediited for each new print, and I have dozens to do...
I've attached a screen shot in hopes it will inspire. I will be needing around 200 prints of all the variations of this assembly. It will vary in diameter, length, and a few components are iparts that change size.
The more automated/streamlined the documentation, the better.

Mar 12, 2012Is there any way to modify the order of the views that have been placed on the drawing sheet? We have a lot of times where we place an assembly view to drive the title block and then place the child components for detailing. Too many time the assembly view gets forgotten until you are done detailing the other parts, now instead of the assembly name showing on that sheet it is the first part you inserted. I would like to be able to select a view and tell Inventor that I would like this view to be the first view instead so I don't have to copy and past everything from one sheet to another. I used to have some code that looked at that first view but I can't find it anymore.

Aug 24, 2011We are sometimes faced with the problem that we would like change the coordinate system of the model and have the drawing update it with the new orientation of the part without the need to place every annotation again. This is mostly for legacy parts and assemblies which are not modeled correct according to the coordinate system of the machine.
The following sample code does not work, is this by design or is there an error in the code?
