2013 working on an existing part not made from 2013. Density needs to be corrected. Where is the material browser?
or
What happens to older part materials that were created by customer when you upgrade (or downgrade as it has been for our company) from 2011 to 2013.
I used once, now it will not open. I have used the command material browser open, it does not work. I do not know if i changed a setting or what.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I pull up material it list 1 density but when I go to iproperties that material has a much different density therefore giving an incorrect. mass reading. 2 1/2 days to install 2013.
How do you get the density of a matreial in material editor to be the same as the material density in Iproperties?
or is this another autodesk bug?
I have used it 1 time and now it will not appear on the screen. I have tried rmat, material brosweropen. I may have moved it off the screen, how to move it back?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 2013, glass density is 2.18 g/cm^3. But in older versions, we had that as 2.56 g/cm^3 for many years. Google results range between 2.5 to 2.6 g/cm^3. Why 2013 has much lower value?

When i open the material physical properties i see the Imperial System.
How can i change this ?
When you place a part (let’s say structural steel part) from content center as a custom part and later change the part size, the browser still shows the old part name which makes it very confusing when scanning through the browsers when you're trying to find something. It makes it almost unusable if you can’t trust the description. How do others handle this? I know about browser rename but that won't work because it defaults back when you close and reopen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm with a problem here, that when i try to change a material from a frame member, i got the error below:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred while attempting to change frame member(s).
[WARNING] Problems occurred during changing Frame Member(s)
[ERROR] A change could not be completed. The reason for the failure is unknown. Please retry.
The structure that i'm trying to change, was created in IV 2012 SP1, and now I'm editing it in IV 2013.
All the pieces of this project were converted to the new version, and the only big difference from 2012 in this case i think that is the materials library, that I created a new one and set on project as default.
The strange, is that if I enter frame by frame and go to iProperties>Physicals, there i can change the material normally (but with a big wate of time ofc).
how Inventor Materials are used in your companies, what is your customization level and usage level.Do you use Inventor Materials as they come out of the box ?Do you create your own materials?
Do you modify the properties of existing Inventor materials without changing the material name?Do you show material names on 2D drawings (in parts list etc)?
I want to change the material of a sheet metal part using inventor api.I tried something like code
Dim partDoc As PartDocument partDoc = inventorApp.Documents.Open(FilePath & filename, False) If partDoc.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then Dim smDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition smDef = partDoc.ComponentDefinition Dim style As SheetMetalStyle style = smDef.SheetMetalStyles.Item("sheetMetalRule")
But I can't get the code for material change.
It is my first time using inventor, so I am obviously not experienced with it in the least. Whenever I open any file, part, assembly, etc... the ribbon shows up fine, but the browser will not show up, and I cannot find a way to turn it on or off (if that is even a possibility).

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy Inventor rename some colors/material when migrating style library from 2012 to 2013? It's very annoying (and stupid in my opinion).
And Inventor said me "Some color/materail was renamed". Yeah good information but can you said me which color was renamed?!?
Does the developpers think about Vault when changing those color? What is the impact on the file (edited out of turn by example...).
Our customers have many colors who become differents when migrating to 2013 and it's not acceptable.
How can I create a new material in Inv2013.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've made my own material library containing a short list of materials from the Inventor default library. And I have set my Project ipj to use it as the default library. All works OK. But, every time I make a new project ipj I have to go find my custom library adsklib file to add it to the project. Is there a certain folder the adsklib file need to live in so that new projects will pick it up automatically?

All the assemblies that I created in 2012 are showing with lighter color steel that I don't like. Is there any way other that selecting each member to change the display color to a darker steel color?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Inventor 2012 user has ability to change the material properties globally.
All parts using certain material will follow the changes made to properties and written to single library. It is clear and predictable.
In Inventor 2013 material properties belong to individual file.
When changes were done to appearance properties of a single part there could be situation when the same material parts in the assembly could have different appearance.
Here is the fact I do not understand and it is contradict to actual reality since the same material with the same standard must look absolutelly the same when switched to Master view.
Seems like to make parts look the same or to change the appearance I should click on each single file and make the same changes to each file.
I do not intend to change the appereance properties in single file on purpose to make problems to myself but I am sure I will take somebody else part and it will be changed due unnecessary reflection or other too much realistic things added in 2013. So finally I will get some sort of parrot collored assembly without clear and most importand easy way to make an order.
So I wish I could equalize all same material parts in apearance view. I do not count the way of clicking each file.
I need to list all the bitmaps in my scene.
I've brought in an fbx that was created & materials applied in Revit. The bitmaps don't display on the model in my viewports, although they do render. I need to be able to make a list of all the bitmaps that are applied to this model, so I can go track them down and save copies into a folder.
Back when I was using Max 2009, I could open my material/map browser, set it to search the scene, and list only the bitmaps, not the root materials. How can I do this in 2011?
