AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Assembly Colors

Jan 20, 2012

What's the best way to do this?

1. Model parts in steel using metal-steel color.
2. Create assembly from parts.
3. Leave metal-steel as default view.
4. Create new view rep with assembly colored blue.

There are two ways I can do this:

A. Create new view rep "Blue".

B. Select all parts and apply blue color at assembly level. View rep associations are broken.

OR

D. Create new view reps in each part "Blue" and make the part blue in that view rep.
E. Create assembly view rep "Blue" and apply part "Blue" view reps. View rep associations are kept.
A-B is quick but dirty, although in Default view the associations will be kept.

D-E can be tedious in large assemblies.

Is there a quicker way to change color but keep associations?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Colors In Top Level Assembly

May 21, 2012

I have a sub assembly with frame members and have used different colors for different sizes.  In the top level assembly all the colors are lost, presumably because it defaults back to material color.  Is there a way to get the frame  member colors to display and all assembly levels?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Part Within Assembly

Oct 1, 2013

I have an assembly of  stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.

And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Part By ILogic In Assembly?

Jul 25, 2012

Before using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.

how could I change the part by iLogic code?

For example:

I generated "Part1.ipt" and "Part2.ipt",...... (I have hundred of member)

In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.

Which is the iLogic Code I should to use?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cannot Change Material For The Some Parts In The Assembly BOM

Nov 9, 2013

I wish I can open my general assembly BOM and set the proper Materials to my all my parts after migration from 2012 release.

But I cannot change Material for the some custom part in the assembly BOM in the Parts Only tab. Parts refusing to change a Material have special symbol and I guess it means “promoted assembly” – no info regarding these symbols.

I can change any Material in Structured and Model Data tabs but it is extremely inconvenient for the big assembly.

[URL]....

The questions is: Why those promoted assemblies have inaccessible Material in the Parts Only tab?

I have similar subassemblies built in similar way as you can see fro video, but one is treated as promoted assembly and other as promoted part, the question is what possible difference between those is?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Color Of Part In Assembly Not Change

Jun 6, 2013

My part color is yellow. In the assembly It shows as gray.

I cant seem to get it to change to match the part color. I used to know why this happens and knew how to fix it but seem to have forgot. How do you get this to work?

I also recently loaded 2014, but had the same problem with 2013, so its not a release issue.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Angle Constraint In Assembly

Jan 5, 2013

I got a problem with editing angle constraint in assemblies. I tried edit property of constraint but it didn't move model. Simply changing Angle attribute of constraint item don't work.

Only way I achieved movemenet is

 if(oOccurrence.Constraints[i].Name.Equals(name))
{
AngleConstraint a = (AngleConstraint)oOccurrence.Constraints[i];
Object oEntity1 = a.EntityOne;
Object oEntity2 = a.EntityTwo;
String sVal = "" + angle + " deg";

[Code]...

but this is really slow, as much as changing throught parameter:

if (assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i].Name == "d655")
{
Inventor.Parameter invParam = assemblyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters[i];
invParam.Value = Math.PI * angle/180;
inventorApplication.ActiveDocument.Update();
}

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Color Of A Face In Assembly

Jan 9, 2013

There are instances where we need to add an extrusion in an assembly (.iam) to show labeling that needs to be done on the floor during assembly.

So we do a new sketch to the face where we need to add the "label", we use text and extrude it 0.001" deep (cut).

On the drawing (.idw) you can see it no problem, but in the model (.iam) itself it's hard to see since the faces that result from the extrusion are the same color as the participant part.

My question is this:  Is it possible to change the color of the face of the extrusion?

It's not super important but it would be a good thing to show that detail as we sometimes print a color version of the 3D view for prototyping, troubleshooting, etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Macro To Make Change In The Assembly?

Jun 22, 2012

I have an assembly that includes iPart.

For example there are:

C: Part1
C: Part1 Part1-01
C: Part1 Part1-02 ...
C: Part2
C: Part2 Part2-01
C: Part2 Part2-02 ...

I need a macro to make the change in the assembly. You need to replace Part1-04 to Part2-04. Which method should apply for this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Positional Representations In Sub Assembly Using ILogic?

Dec 12, 2012

I'm configuring a band with different supports. Each support is configured with a range; 600-900, 900-1200, 1200-1500 etc. those ranges can be adjust by 50mm and those steps are specified by the pos reps (see attached image).

All the different supports are put in the top assembly and in this assembly I want to switch between the positional representations. I tried to use: 

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations("MyPosRep").Activate

But it won't work. I guess I have to replace "ComponentDefinition" in one way or another to the component name, but I don't know how.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dynamic Change Of Length Of Part During Assembly

Nov 24, 2011

This is my first time using Inventor but I've been using ProE for several years in school. A friend of mine told me about a feature in ProE where you are able to define a part and then define one of the lengths as it is placed into an assembly. For example I would define a 2x4 part with a length of 84inches. If I wanted a 2x4 of 68inches in my assembly I would use the same file but simply change the 84 to 68. How can I do this with Inventor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change BOM Structure Of Component Within Assembly Using ILogic

Nov 22, 2011

I have a wall of frames, if you will, and some frames within this wall are different sizes. When doing the BOM, I want to be able to combine anything that has the same stock number as well as the same cut length. The only way I have thought to do this so far is to cycle through each stock number and if the cut length is the same, I override the quantity of one and change the BOM Structure of the other to "Reference". 

How can I change the BOM Structure to reference without selecting the part or going through the BOM Editor? Is there some VBA code I could utilize? I am striking out by solely using iLogic.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part In Assembly - Change To IPart Workflow

Oct 31, 2011

I have a part that occurs nine times in an assembly. These were all the same parts before but now I need to make them table driven iParts in order to add a custom iProperty that changes to make them all different. They are all the same except for this on iProperty field that changes.I can create the iPart no problem. My questions are:

1.) Should I just open the part file and make it an iPart?

2.) Do I need to replace the files in the assembly somehow?

3.) I would assume that I can just edit the file to make it an iPart and then use some kind of "change component" right click to select which one goes where right?

4.) Is there some other workflow I should be using?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Parameters On Component Instances In Assembly?

Aug 11, 2013

I have a part called "bracket" which has a multi-value parameter "mass" which can be 100, 200, 300, or 400 and controls the width of the bracket.I have an assembly into which I have placed thee brackets.

How do I set different parameters for each of the instances of "bracket"?I want one bracket with mass = 100, one with mass = 200, and one with mass = 300, such that I have three brackets of different widths.

I must not be searching on the right text in Google because I find only ways to change the value of the parameter within the core component (such that all brackets change and end up the same width).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Members Change Position Done In Assembly Mode

Dec 23, 2011

why members change position once mirror has been done in Assembly mode.

1..... i complete a sketch and save it.

2....Then i open  up a new assebly while in the same project and save that also.

3...I place the sketch in the assembly and then go straight to Design tab and select insert frame a PFC member.

4   Also the sketch is fully constrained before going into assembly.

5..Now all mitering has been done.

6 Problem is when you Mirror the PFC  in the assembly after picking a face or plane they change....................?

7 They mirror but swap ends and the miters are opp hand.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Change Layer Colors To New Set Of Colors?

May 8, 2012

We are working with a company that will be sending us DWG files. They do not use the same layer colors as us and I am trying to find a lisp that would allow me to set up a table with the layer names and the color I want them to be so that I can quickly change all the layers to our companys color standards.

Example:

Layer 1 = Color 1
Layer 2 = Color 15
Layer 3 = Color 10
Etc.

I don't know a lot about lisp but I figure if I could find a lisp that did this I could plug in my layer/color assignments and it would work.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Parameters In Part Occurrence Inside Assembly

Sep 5, 2013

I have an assembly which contains a CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pThisCompOcc , and I'd like to do two things.
 
Get the name of the "base" object, not the display name of the occurence Change the model and user parameter values of the occurrence I suspect that I need to find the function or method which gives me a CComPtr<PartComponentDefinition> pPartCompDef which the occurrence points to for the Q1, but what about Q2?

Presumably the parameters are associated with the Component Occurrence and the "real" name is associated with the Part Component Definition?
