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 :: Change Appearance Of Face In Weldment Assembly Environment

Jan 29, 2013

I was wondering if there is a way to change the appearance of a face in a weldment assembly environment. I have a weldment which in the machining process a part of weld bead as well as a portion of one of the components is machined down (spot faced) and I need to change the appearance of those face to polished, but it doesn't let me do that?

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 :: Center Of Gravity On Curved Face Of Assembly

Aug 1, 2013

I am trying to pinpoint the center of gravity on a curved face of an assembly. I can use the c og G command to get the true center of gravity but i would like to incorporate lifting eyes into the finished assembly. Basically I need to know how to find the C of G on a given surface. I have attached the assembly I am working on and added lifting eyes roughly where I would like them. I have tried measuring from the C of G to a face and then creating the lug above the C of G but somehow it doesn't line up.

AutoCad 3D :: Change Face Color Command Customizable?

Apr 28, 2011

I was working on some modifications to a previous drawing and needed to change the face color on multiple faces, about 40 of them... After using the command on a couple of them, I decided that an improvement is required or I'm not understanding how to pick multiple items with the same stroke of the command. What I'm asking is, is there a way to pick multiple faces to change multiple face color in just a few strokes or can a custom lisp file be created to speed this process up?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Select Set Face Colour Simultaneously?

Mar 19, 2013

Is there any way to change the colour of all faces in a select set simultaneously?

The method I am referring to is when you select faces in a part document, rickt click and select properties from the context menu, a dialog box pops up called "Face Properties" which prompts you to select a colour and click OK. when this is done all of the faces are changed at once.

How do I replicate this via the API?

Currently I have it iterate through each face in a part document and apply the colour override one by one which can take a while when there are about 1000 faces. You can see each face changing as you go.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Color Changed To One Color

Feb 21, 2013

I 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.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Merging Circular Face To Flat Face

Aug 22, 2012

All I need to do is merge a circular face to a flat face, so both faces become one continuous face. Is this possible at all?

I have a attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Face 1 needs to be merged with face 2. This is so if I constrain anything to that face it will constrain to the entire face and not either the circular face OR the flat face.

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?

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 :: 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();
}
