I have a question about the revision tag. It's seam that we can not change the size of the balloon or Triangle. But we can use a user symbol. But we can make this choice only after placing the tag. see picture.
My question is : It is possible to make this choice in the stylelibrary ?
You know the square, traingle, circle, and the hexagon shapes that are used on the revision tags? How do I change the size of the geometry to be smaller? If I just change the text size, all that changes is the text, the geometry remains the same. I'm wanting to make them ultra small so that when there are lots of revisions, it doesn't clutter up the drawing too much.
a customer has a title block with a revision table ( standard vault revision table) add on top of it.
If you change the sheet size the revision table remains his position.
If found the way to reposition the table with a ilogic rule.:
'point afstand in cm PointX=(ActiveSheet.Width/10)-13 PointY=5.5 'punt vanaf rechtonder gemeten in cm
[Code]....
This is working perfectly. But now the challange how to trigger this rule to run if you change the sheet size?
if tried:
trigger=Activesheet.size
or
to create a userparameter and added this line in my rule : Size=ActiveSheet.size, normaly is you change parameters it triggers the rule to rule. but both way didn't work.
Can event triggers from the API be used? Do i need the "Onchange" event? Any example for a ilogic rule?
I'm looking at a way to reduce the size of the revision tag in inventor, cause its size doesnt fit in our drawings, we have the habit to put as much info as possible on the sheets but when we get a revision the tag is too big..
Is this possible?
Currently using Inventor2012 & soon will be using 2013
I am trying to create some new templates for 2013 and I'm trying to figure a way to get the model revision number to populate into the drawing's iproperty revision number so that they will match upon save. I'm trying to do this by creating an ilogic rule but I don't see a system property in the idw that will allow me to access the 3D model iprops. I am going to Event Trigger the rule to run Before Save. Is this possible?
On the drawing border I have created a formatted text box that is built as:
Type: Properties - Model Property: Revision Number
It simply pulls the data from the models revision number and populates the text box. I need this same thing to happen but rather than populate into a text box I need it to populate into the drawings revision number iprop.
What is the best way to change a large number of file names from Rev A to Rev B? Should I use a program such as Lupas rename or is there a Script or Lisp routine that would work better?
I am in inventor and I need to draft up some diagrams for a lab report for school. They all have to be to scale so my dimensions will work properly, the only problem is, when I want to take a screenshot of the image to put into my document, the dimensions are way too **** small. I have tried everything to change them and nothing has worked. I don't know where my command line window is so I can't go directly to dimstyles.
I created 3 parts, which I shell use in my presentation. But when I put they near, I saw that they have big changes in size. How can I correct this without making new projects?
I am having an issue with changing sheet sizes using VBA. Due to the constraints under which my borders and title blocks were created, inventor forces me to delete the current border before changing the sheet size. I have 5 different borders and 2 title blocks.
In the Autodesk Inventor drawing (.idw) I am unable to change the font size when i dimension a hole and thread. I have tried going into "Edit Hole Note" and "Text" when you right click on the dimension.
I have three rules in our stamp to the revision date and revision number to fill in.
Along our project number should include the revision letter stand out with the latest date.
Now I would like to see if the date entered by the revision number and revision letter that the letter therefore become filled in along the project number.
If the next date is fill in with the letter, that letter must be completed along the project number The dates and letters are "Prompted Entry" or do i need other properties.
Can this be done with iLogic?
Youre drawings are as good as the symbols that compleet them.....
We revise multiple items on a drawing at the same time. When we do this we add a number next to the revision letter to reference in the revision block. For example if we are on rev B and we revise 3 items we would need tags that say B1, B2, B3. We can edit the tags to reflect this, but I was wondering if there is any way to get the tags to do this automatically without using code.
I have created the code to print out the pages from a drawing using Ilogic and the Print Manager.However, I cannot get the ilogic code via the Print Manager to change either the orientation OR the paper size to suit the print out.
For example, If I have an A3 drawing i can create the Ilogic code for the Print Manager to select the page size of A3 (kPaperSizeA3) within the code, but when I run the code the printer will ONLY select the Default of A4 paper.
The A3 paper is in a different tray but I cannot get the Print Manager to Select the A3 Paper.The printer we are having this issue with is a HP LaserJet 5200...We are also having the same problem of Printing out 1:1 Scale drawing to an A0 Plotter. I cannot get the Print Manager to change the Output Page Size either.
This is for a HP DesignJet 430...I have just tried to use the iLogic Snippet for Printing, and if you change the page size to suit A3 (kPaperSizeA3), the printer asks for a paper size of 312mm x 210mm.... This was with the HP LaserJet 5200.
how to get the Printer output paper size changed through the Print Manager.
I have a query. How do I change the color and font size of the RMC menu? I am using Autodesk Inventor 2012 Suite. I find it quite small and hard to see.
I'm simply trying to delete the revision table if it exists on a drawing. I did find where you can't do anything with Rev Tags with the API, but what about the Actual Revision Table?
Trying to get this to work;
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")>0Dim oRevTable as RevisionTableoRevTable = ActiveSheet.Sheet.RevisionTable.Item(1) oRevTable = nullRevisionTable
I 'd like to keep the old Revision table rows available , but off the sheet rather than delete all the rows & start from , let's say, Rev 10.Is this possible in 2012?
I have never attempted any i-logic before and this may be running before I can walk, but I was wondering if this premise even sounded do-able. I would like to create a rule to set the last row of my revision table to all static values, and then add a row.
I'm trying to write a routine to work with a non vault revision table. I'm working with Vb .net & Inventor 2012. I am working with sheet scope tables.
From the inventor dialogue box there are two commands to add rows to the table.The insert row command. Which inserts a row in the table.
The add row command which inserts a row set the sheet revision property & sets the new row active.
I have tried to insert a new row with the following code & make it active but this does not work. Is is possible to create a new active row through the api? The new row gets added but cannot get the new row to become the active row.
dim new_row as RevisionTableRow
new_row = revtable.RevisionTableRows.AddCustom(table_length -blank_rows) ' This works as expected.
I tried to add a revision table by vba routie. useing fllowing code
Dim oRevStyle As RevisionTableStyle Set oRevStyle = oDoc.StylesManager.RevisionTableStyles.Item("Revision Table_NEW") Dim oRevTable As RevisionTable Set oRevTable = oDoc.ActiveSheet.RevisionTables.Add2(oPoint, , , , , oRevStyle)
It adds revision table is not shown correct in the drawing. I have to manually select certain style in the drawing.
I try doc.update or view.update. it doesnt work.
