AutoCAD Inventor :: Checking BIM Files Created In 2014
Aug 8, 2013
we are a large manufacturing organisation and currently are using Inventor 2014 for our product design and day to day production drawing. We purchased Inventor 2014 recently for its BIM transfer capabilities. It would appear however that we can only view the outcome of the transferred files fron Inventor within Revit its self.
As we do not require Revit for any production work, purchasing a Revit licence is not an option. I recently downloaded the trial version of Revit Architecture to review the transfer files but the trial licence is now ready to expire.

Installed Product desgin suite 2014. I can create a new inventor dwg file and place a base view of an assembly into it. I then attempt to check it in and it causes Inventor to not respond and eventually crash. When I reopen the dwg from my working folder and attempt to check it in again it gives me an error saying that the file already exists.

I am using Inventor 2009 and have always been told not to check out files from the Vault directly. Rather to use Inventor when checking them in or out. What is the reason for this and has that changed with current versions?

One of our customer has inventor 2013 and I am working with inventor 2014.
I would like to know if there is anyway for my customer once my job is done to be able to load the Sub assembly with his software and be able to work with it ?
They told me Inventor fusion is not an easy tool and would prefered to use inventor files.

I am having an odd issue with the windows default for opening files for Inventor. I previously had the full Autodesk 2013 software suite. A couple of months ago I did the upgrade and installed the Autodesk 2014 software suite.
My issue is now when attempting to open files the default is to open them in Inventor 2013 (still installed on my machine).
I went through the windows default programs options and browsed/selected the Inventor 2014 .exe application. However, this does not add the 2014 application to the list as it seems 2013 over rides it.
I tried to manually changing .ipt/.iam/.stp etc. file types from Inventor 2013 to Inventor 2014, yet am still unable to have the 2014 application added to the potential list of default programs to open with.
One solution would appear to be to un-install the 2013 suite, is there any other way to fix this problem? It is nothing crucial, yet very annoying.
another way that I can get the default program altered to use Inventor 2014? I have attached pictures showing my steps of attemping to change the file association for a .stp file. However, this does not work. I even brought this issue to my company's IT perssonnel and they were unsure.

I created a library of Dynamic cabinets in AutoCAD LT 2013. I have tested them and used them in drawings. I just upgraded to 2104 and when I insert those same dynamic blocks into a drawing, the parameters do not show and i can not use the dynamic block as intended. when I click on it...tons ot grips show up and no parameters.

We've finally nibbled the bullet and upgraded to 2014. I'm getting errors in the Task Scheduler logs about missing files in various projects. It would appear that (almost) without exception, the failed files are all Content Center parts that were inserted as custom parts. Do I need to run a migration on the Content Center parts (Inventor/ContentCenter Files/R2013/en-US) in order for the custom parts to migrate properly?

Everytime i switch project files for any reason, Inventors response time to anything gets to the point i have to close the program and open it back up. After the program restart I'm able to use it again, but then when I have to change project files it does the same thing again. It's wasting a lot of time for me and I'd rather not format and reinstall everything.

I am not fully conversant with the optimization function however I have leaned that this can be used for checking FEA tests on designs.

If you make alterations to a model, and then switch to vault menu, your model is red with an asterix (requires saving). If you click check in on this, you get the message that it needs saving, click ok. It appears that it has worked but all the buttons on the toolbar are frozen. if you click the big I all the ribbon greys out and you need to restart Inventor. The only button that still works is Suite Workflows.
I have SP1.1 installed as well as the vault hot fix.

Having problem when using Inventor to check in a (large->slow) file while closing vault at the same time?
One of my colegues had a drawing file lose some of his changes when he checked in. we could not see a reason why, as the file was in vault with the correct time stamp. the file was the same as the previous check in.
This morning i have had a similar problem, where by i had made changes before checking in last night and when i opened the file in the morning the changes where not there.
I looked on my c drive in old versions (before i did anything else to overwrite it!) and low and behold the changes there!
The only thing i remember doing that was not normal was to close Vault while this large file was in the process of checking in through inventor.

I have Machine.iam with all children checked out, except for company-library-parts and Content Centre parts.
After changes to non library parts and checking in machine.iam (with 1 or more company librarie .iams in it) Inventor says: machine.iam and (x) dependent files must be saved.before they can be checked in.save and continue?
Answering Yes -> Inventor says: One or more documents have been modified but save was unsuccessful. You must save the document prior to check in. (but I did save before check in!). Only option is to press cancel..
All filenames of library.iams in the vaultlist in inventor are turned red with an * behind the filename stating they have changed.(?) Somehow inventor thinks the library.iam haved changed in this machine.iam..
If i do this again with all included children checked out, but not the library files, the result is the same.
I tried to find out what is wrong with these library-parts (all library.iams (?)) so I opened a few of these library.iam (with the librarie.ipj) and the update button is greyed out so there are no changes..
We “solve” this now by closing the machine.iam, inventor then asks: save changes?, press Yes, an new window pops up: file “machine.iam” is checked out to you. Do you want to check it in now?, press Yes, a new window pops up asking which files you want to check in: machine.iam and all checked out parts in it, press OK and all will be checked in.
But this only works with files that are already in the vault, not with new drawings of iams.
We used to have the problem after saving an part or assembly -> Inventor would ask after pressing close: do you want to save, as if the first save didn’t work.. Now we have a bigger problem..
Also sometimes checking out include children only includes all direct children and not also children of children.

I have a lot of custom libraries for purchased items for my projects. When I bring them into my assemblies I cannot turn on or off surface planes or make any changes.
I get the message that the file is not checked out to me. How can I make it so they are always checked out to me. The libraries are mine on my system.

I have some commands in which I add a button to the context menu in certain situations. Depending on the situation the button may be added or removed.
I'm alternating between using iterating through the definitions on the object they belong and if I have access to the it such as events that expose the commandbar object I iterate through it's buttons. If I don't I use a try/catch on the ControlDefinitions. Iterating through that causes an unacceptable pause.
I've always thought using exceptions to test objects is expensive but the delay breaks the users flow due to the pause.
What is the correct way to test for this?
I also run into this situation because I have different addins that add different sets of controls from a common set of dlls depending on the use context. Try/Catch works but is that the recommended way to test for things. I often need to test for the existance of things such as parameters (I have some plugins which will recreate sets of needed user parameters and some have hundreds if they don't exist already) and try/catch seems to be the best method.

I am looking to check the hiddenline status of a part in a drawing. The drawing is made from an assembly. I dont want to take all the segments from the view and check for each of them. I want a way I can just grab the entities that are made from an occurence.
I was hopping to use the drawingcurve(modelobject), but I dont know what to use as the modelobject! is it the edge, edges, component definition... Here some of the code that is not working.
Dim _portePattern As OccurrencePattern = oassbly.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencePatterns.Item("Pattern Porte")
Dim _PoigneeOcc As ComponentOccurrence
Dim _PorteOcc As ComponentOccurrence
Dim PatEle As OccurrencePatternElement
Dim _poigneeDef As ComponentDefinition
Dim _poigneeSFbody As SurfaceBody
Dim _poigneeEdges As Edges
[code]....

I'm fairly new to Inventor and have been working with frame generator and analysis recently. Will Inventor 2013 check or analyize a frame to see if it meets ASD/AISC code similar to what RISA 3-D will do? If so, how can you perform this check?

Using Revit 2014 LT. Trying to open a file created by another user/seat of Revit 2014 LT (trial version for now).
Error Message reads "The file is open for editing by another user. If you open the file, you cannot save changes until the user closes is. In this case, your changes will overwrite the user's changes. What do you want to do?"
The file is NOT open by another user though.
I realize LT does not allow worksharing, but I assumed that was multiple users working on the same file at the same time. We need to open files one at a time, but by different users.

I have just recently installed AutoCAD LT 2014 on Windows 7 (Running on an intel iMac through Bootcamp). Ever since then i am receiving notifications when performing a save.
AutoCAD is telling me it cannot perform the save and is creating a .tmp file in the same location on the server as the file should be.
this is causing major performance issues and happens almost every second time I attempt to perform a save. The issue is that we are getting multiple versions of the same file duplicating on the file server which is very quickly going to cause capacity issues considering most files are 2-4mb in size.

autocad is not saving backup files automatically, only when i manually save are they updated [defeating the purpose of them]. in my options - open and save - i have my automatic saves set to 3 minutes and am also set to create backup copy with each save.

Our structural firm is using 2011, and our office has received drawings that came out of 2014 twice in the past week (from separate arch clients). In both instances, we back-converted using DWG TrueView 2014, but upon opening in ACAD, none of the walls were showing up (although they do appear in the preview). One of my other drafters dealt with it the first time, and got it resolved, although I didn't get specifics on how. Naturally, the second time it happened, she was out, so I am seeing if the architect can back-save to 2010 on their end and send the file.
While waiting on that, I tried QSelect in the offending file, and in the list of items that comes up, there was, amid the usual Text, Line, Pline, Block, etc., something called ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY. I selected all (nothing was visible, however--usually you see grips at least when you QSelect things), then exploded, and the walls showed up.
I have had somewhat similar odd behavior from drawings coming from I think ADT (do they still make ADT?), where things like walls, doors and windows come in as something block-like (I think AEC OBJECTS?), and we have to explode them in order to control color and visibility of their constituent parts. Perhaps this is something similar?
At any rate, this seems like something that either shouldn't be happening, or that has a more obvious fix than having to qselect and explode invisible things to get them to show up.

error messages that say I can't use various functions because the file has objects from a newer version. I have ACA 2012 and the file is from ACA 2013.
Isn't there a way to convert or eliminate these 'objects' so I can use these files 'normally' in 2012 ACA?

I had a file which, opened with Civil 3D 2013, worked fine, but one of the SID images disappeared and was shown as "corrupt" in the same drawing opened in Civil 3D 2014.
The problem was that the file name contained a character in a font not recognized by R2014. (The file name was G1105001_095-ps 12_5æ.sid) Once I renamed the file and re-attached it in 2014 it worked fine. 2013 processes this font type with no problem.

My team is using AutoCAD 2014 and multiple people have noticed that while they're working, when they try to save the file it pops up a message saying the file is read only.
Multiple people on our team has had this issue and it only started recently. (We've had it installed a few months now).Could it be the new file tabs feature in 2014?

I have drawings that are saved as ACad 2010 and need to work on them in ACad 2014. I am receiving error messages saying the drawing is damaged and requires recovery. Errors are being detected and some files I can eventually open but edits are missing. Others I am unable to open and I get a message "audit could not correct errors in database".
