AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Filename Before First Save

Dec 17, 2013

I'd like to change the filename of a part before it's first save.The code would look somewhat like below. 

Private Sub m_appEvents_OnNewDocument( _ByVal DocumentObject As Inventor._Document, _ByVal BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum, _ByVal Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, _ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) _Handles m_appEvents.OnNewDocumentDim oDoc As Inventor.DocumentDim Name1 As String = "New Filename...."oDoc = DocumentObjectoDoc = oDocoDoc.PropertySets("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Part Number").Value = Name1oDoc.DisplayName = Name1oDoc.FullFileName = Name1.

The code partly works when opening a template but doesn;t work when create a an in place component or frame generated part? What do I need to modify to catch and change the filename before it's saved?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Batch Save Copy As PDF With A Custom Parameter Filename

May 14, 2012

An application that will let me choose a group of Drawing files (.idw) and perform "Save Copy As" to a PDF format on them. The Filename of each Drawing should be extracted from a custom Parameter I embeded in the IDW file.

I know I can use the Task Manager with a virtual PDF Printer to create these files, but then the PDF Filename will equal the IDW Filename, and I want it to be derived from the custom parameter I prepared inside the drawings.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Save Copy As Doesn't Rewrite Filename 2013

Oct 9, 2013

When using save copy as to make an identical part with a different number, the file name in the top and the browser doesn't update to the new filenumber. only in the bottom file tabs is the name correct. if I go to file> save as I can also see the new filename. This is a hassle when doing this to multiple files in an assembly, as it makes it hard to keep track of which parts have been given a new name. It seems the filename input in the browser is only written once, and that is when the first file was saved for the first time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VB To Change Filename As Loop Progresses

Jun 8, 2012

I have VB code that loops through and utilizes Excel data to pick which file(s) to open, update, and close.  Then it opens the appropriate .idw file, updates it and saves it as a .pdf. 

The line of code I have now is simple:

_invApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:UsersxxDesktopA60.pdf", True)

and that writes the file to my desktop as a .pdf.

However, as the loop runs over and over, it will find another data set that is the same A60 type, so it will want to save OVER that .pdf it's already created.

How do I go about having a variable filename?  Something where it would add a _01 _02 _03 (or similar) to the end of the filename (i.e. A60_01.pdf, A60_02.pdf).

AutoCad :: Unable To Save To Drawing (path And Filename)

Apr 18, 2013

I have just installed AutoCAD 2006 on a new PC, and for a while everything seemed fine. However when I save a drawing it comes up with the following:

Unable to save to drawing (path and filename).
Drawing saved to (path)savAE01.tmp

It allows me to saveas without a problem.

If I come out of AutoCAD and try to open the file I attempted to save, it is visible in the file list, but a message pops up saying:

Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists.

I can rename the .tmp file to a .dwg file and it opens, but then if I try to qsave it, the same thing happens.

AutoCAD Express Tools :: DWG To PDF Save As -> Filename Empty

Aug 24, 2012

Whenever I want to save my DWG to PDF I use the builtin pc3 from Autodesk. Normally when I use it, the filename of the dwg is suggested as name for the pdf. But now this is empty and when you have to save 20-30 pdfs a day this is a pain to type over the names everytime. When I use PDFcreator however, it does suggest the name correct, but then I dont have the correct paper sizes.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: How To Save Filename As Variable

Oct 20, 2011

how to write a lisp command, or function, that will save my newly created drawing with a file name is that is called up from a variable.

For example:

(setq filename variable)
(command "saveas" "r14" "filename")

and i would want the outcome to be:  variable.dwg, rather than filename.dwg. I have tried numerous different ways of doing this with command prompt and cant seem to get anything to stick.  Everything that works just creates a file named "filename.dwg", which is not what i want to do.

Photoshop :: CS6 Could Not Save (filename) Because File Is Locked?

Feb 6, 2013

For many years I have been edit photo montages in Premiere Pro. When I would find a photo that needs retouching so I would open Photoshop, retouch the pic, save it, and the new image would magically appear on the PPro timeline. But in my CS6 suite, I get the error message "Could not save "filename" because file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file". 

And this only happens when PPro is still open, regardless of where the CTI is on the timeline, or which pic on the timeline is selected. I never had this problem with any other versions of PPro and Photoshop. I don't want to shut down PPro everytime I need to retouch a pic.

Photoshop :: Couldn't Save File Name Because Filename Was Not Valid

Jun 17, 2012

I have recently purchased a new desktop under WIN 7 as well as Adobe Creative Suite CS6.My first internal hard disk is 2 TB, the second one installed is from my old PC, 250 GB.
 
I am getting this error when trying to save a file over an existing file using the “Save” command.The message is wrong, because the filename IS valid. This error is persistent.This error does not occur when doing the same action on my second internal hard disk.This error happens on files larger than about 1MB in weight.
 
What happens is that the original file over which I try to do the ”Save” command gets corrupted and lost.If I don't use the “Save as” command to save my work under a different name, my work is lost.The same problem occurs with both PS CS6 versions, 64 Bit and 32 Bit.

Paint Shop Pro :: How To Use Current Filename For Save As In Script

Jun 26, 2012

I am using Paintshop Pro X2. I've created a script that goes something like this.

1. Save original size as jpg in folder 1.
2. Resize 50%
3. Save as jpg in folder 2.
4. Resize 100x77
5. Save as jpg in folder 3.
6. Close file.

Everything works great except for one thing. During the save as operations the script remembers the original file names from when I record the script. Is it possible to replace that old static file name in the script with the file name of the current image?

AutoCAD Inventor :: CSV Filename Not Working?

May 10, 2013

I am trying to write code to collect standard info from a csv file to be added to iProperties.

Following is the code I have so far.

Dim Separators() As Char = {""c} Words = ThisDoc.Path.Split(Separators) FilName = "C:VaultDesigns" & Words(3) & "Spec_Sheet.csv"

Dim ReadCSV As New System.IO.StreamReader(FilName) Dim WordSets As New ArrayList()

Do While ReadCSV.Peek <> -1 WordSets.Add(ReadCSV.ReadLine.Split(",")) Loop

i = 0 SName = iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")

For Each wrd In WordSets  If WordSets.item(i)(0) = SName Then  iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = WordSets.item(i)(1)  iProperties.Value("Custom", "Finish") = WordSets.item(i)(2)  End If i += 1 Next
 
The only problem I have is that this line crashes. I am not competent enough to understand why.

Lightroom :: Change Filename For Single-image HTML Pages In Web Gallery?

I would like to change the default filename for the HTML pages produced by Lightroom 3 in the web gallery. Specifically, I would like to remove the string "_large" from the HTML filename, so it corresponds exactly to the image filename.
 
Specifically, the URL by default is like this: [URL] ....

I assume there is some way to make this change using the template editors, but I can't figure it out.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Append Folder Location To Filename?

Apr 27, 2012

I am using this code snippet to open an idw.  With this code, the idw has to reside at the same file path as the current document. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sub OpenIDW()
On Error GoTo Oops
Dim oDoc As Document
 Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument  
Dim sFullFileName As String    
sFullFileName = oDoc.FullFileName   
Dim sDrawingName As String   
sDrawingName = Left(sFullFileName, Len(sFullFileName) - 4) & ".idw"        
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument  
Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(sDrawingName)  
Exit Sub  
Oops:     MsgBox "IDW File could not be found. FileName of IDW must be the same as this file.", vbInformation End Sub
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What if"... my idw is not at the same location, but under a subfolder instead..... like this

Part file c:designsDrawingsJobxxx

Idw file c:designsDrawingsJobxxxIDW

I am sure that this can be done by editing the line "sDrawingName = Left(sFullFileName, Len(sFullFileName) - 4) & ".idw"  " .  Everything I have tried did not work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Reading Beginning Of Filename

Jun 6, 2013

I'm attempting to create a rule using iLogic, which reads the first two letters of either the File Name or Part number (Which ever is easier)i.e. if a part number was AB12345, I would want the code to recognize the "AB"...At which point I'm trying to use an If-Then-Else statement to modifiy the material of the part, dependent on the first two characters of the File name.

As an example, where the underlined portion is what i don't know how to
If  iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") Begins with "AB" Then
    iProperties.Material = "Steel"
Else If iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") Begins with "AC" Then
    iProperties.Material = "Aluminum"
End If

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Access To Filename IProperty

Oct 13, 2011

I am trying to use the iProperties.Value("part1", "Summary", "iProperty") function to get the filename or complete filepath of a component within a subassembly. I know that these iProperties exist because I can insert them onto a drawing, and I see them in the general tab of the iProperty window.

However, when I try something like:

filename = iProperties.Value("part1", "General", "Filename")

I get an error message indicating that the General tab can't be found. How might I go about getting this filename iProperty, or is there an easier way?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Define Filename On Subpart With Rule

Feb 6, 2013

I have an assembly which serves as a configurator. This Assy, needs to be copied many times. The assy contains 2 parts, which also must be copied. but when copied, the parts must have a new filename, and then the Rule cannot find them anymore. Therefore my plan is to define the filename with the configurator rule..

Example.:

Assy = Module.iam

Part1 = Module-1.ipt

Part2 = Module-2.ipt

I have this so far, but is doesn't work.. what do i put before the .ipt??

Filename = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension[Filname-1 inserted here].ipt.Diameter = "30"

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Centre Prompted Filename And Part Number

Nov 8, 2011

Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.

If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.

E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.

If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.

This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part Number In IProperties Is Automatically Updated To Match New Filename

Jun 13, 2013

When you do a Save As or Save Copy As in Inventor the part number in the iProperties is automatically updated to match the new filename. I would expect the Document.SaveAs method in the API to act in a similar way. However I found out that this is not the case.

SaveAs: Document.SaveAs(filename, False) does not update the part number. The new part will still have the same part number as the original part. This can give problems since in the BOM parts with the same part number are interpreted as the same physical part.

SaveCopyAs: Document.SaveAs(filename, True) does work as expected and the part number will update correctly.

Is this a bug in the API? or is there a reasonable explanation for this?
