AutoCAD Inventor :: Client Feature Visibility In Design View Representations

Jan 13, 2014

I have an assembly with a client feature that contains client graphics. I have exposed the visibility (ClientFeature.Definition.ClientGraphicsCollection[1].Visible) to the user via a context menu option. Changing the visibility currently affects all view representations. Is there a way to associate the visibility with each design view representation?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Quantities And Design View Representations?

Mar 6, 2012

Is there a way to have the parts list filter to show only the visible parts from the view representation, especially the quantities? I thought that was what the filter is for. And if not then what is the filter used for?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Why Does Suppressing Machining Feature In One Representation Change All Representations

Apr 19, 2013

Inventor 2013..I am trying to show a part in a drawing of three different configurations of a casting:

1) Rough as received from the foundry

2) Partially machined or rough machined

3) Final machined

What is the most basic bullet-proof way to show this? Three different models?What is the procedure to change the representation to show changes in the model?Why does suppressing a machining feature in one representation change all representations?The rough part is brought into an assembly and the machining or removal of material happens in the assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Prints And View Representations Not Working

Feb 15, 2013

There is some association between prints and view representations i am missing.My typical process is:

-Build a model
-Create a representation
-Lock the representation
-Create a print from that representation
-Create a new representation and continue to work on the model

When i go back to the original print there is parts flying everywhere (see attached picture - hope you get a kick out of it)

AutoCAD Inventor :: View Representations From Default To Master

Nov 14, 2011

Whenever I do a model update through an ilogic form my View representation changes from default to master and then i have to go and manually change them back to default also in my idw files in order to update the drawing files I have to go in and change the view representation from default to master click ok and close it then open view edit set it to default and close. Is this normal? Is there a setting so that my model views will stay on default?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Finding Parameter Reference To View Representations?

Sep 27, 2012

I created view representations in my assembly, for example a column with k-polates and base plates, the column is a FG part, so now i create drawings and place views on that drawing, what i am askign for is I want to place the name of the view representation in my view label as a paramater so in the event i change my view names in my model they update in my drawing, this is important because i can create a cross referance to my 3D DWXF file views.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart View Representations Broken In 2014 SP2

Dec 3, 2013

Design view representations in an iPart file are not included in the generated members after installing Inventor 2014 SP2 (and also in Update 1).

In the attached part factory, the two work planes are included in the members. They would need to be individually set invisible in each assembly view representation because the members only have the Master view representation.

AutoCAD VB :: Client Menus Utilizing Raster Design

Jun 24, 2011

I've been trying to update a client menu and I've gotten most things figured out.  They have a fairly elaborate routine set up to make sure our drawings work with their document control system as well as raster design.  We are using AutoCAD 2011 and the menu's were meant for 2008.

Everything seems to run well except at this sub module and every time I load a raster drawing with a TIF the routine error's out at the line in Red below.  I've tried everything I can think of to keep the routine running, and I want to refrain from just remarking it out, which seems to do the trick, but I do not want to do that unless it's for some other purpose. I just need to get their menus to work on newer versions of AutoCAD.

Private Sub AcadApp_EndOpen(ByVal FileName As String)
   
    Dim sPathPart As String
    Dim sFilePart As String
    Dim sExtPart As String
    Dim lResult As Long
    Dim vResult As Variant
    Dim bFoundCO As Boolean

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Final Feature To Design

Sep 17, 2013

I need to finish the design for my crate that I'm going to build. It's a personal project, and I already finished the whole box, but I have a big issue. I need to add a lock, and I've tried looking for some but I have not found a suitable design or lock for the box.

I might have to redesign it slightly if a hinge is going to be added, but I think the only proper way of locking it is putting 4 locks on the 4 sides at the top of the crate. The top and bottom of the box are 2 separate parts that are the same.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design Of Metal Grate Using Rectangular Array Feature

May 3, 2011

I am looking to design a grate approximately 5mX10m with holes 250mmX32mm. My first thought was to drawing the outline of the 5mX10m grate, then create an array of tiny 32mmX200mm boxes and extrude the material between the boxes and the boundary frame. Unfortunately when I create the simple array (something like 50box by 120 boxes) inventor keeps freezing I'm thinking this is too large of a patter for inventor.  

How I can make the grate in a smarter/ less resource intense manner?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Visibility On View

May 7, 2012

How to manage the visibity of parts on a particular view? For example, in a view there 10 parts appeared. I would like to make only selected parts visible on the said view.

I have the manual steps on how to hide them but when I try to code it using the said step, the parts on the model file were hidden not in the view.

I use oView.ReferenceDocumentDescriptor.ReferenceDocument in traversing the parts but this refers to the model file.

Here is my

Set ViewDocument = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If Not nozzleName = ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next

AutoCAD Inventor :: Components Visibility On View

May 10, 2012

How to manage the visibility of components in a particular view?

In attach file,View 2 is a detail view of view 1. On view 2, I want to display only the nozzle (Drain (H):1)  and shell (C1306388341:1) component. So I need to set the visibility of the other component to false.When I try to code this, the components of model file of view 1 was updated not the view.

   Set ViewDocument = oDetailView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
    For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
        If nozzleName <> ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
            ViewOccurence.Visible = False
        End If
    Next

The reference document I set for my code is not the document which contains the view 2. So I need to the actual reference document where view 2 belongs which is in the box of view 2 that contains 5 components.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Control Visibility Of Parts In Drawing View

Sep 16, 2011

I'm creating a small product configurator using ilogic. It all works fine, but i've i challenge:controlling the visibility of the components in a drawing view

In simple words, every occurrence of my assembly has an custom Ipropertie calles "Positie". there where 4 values (Bodem, Zij, Kop, Deksel and Overig)In a drawing view i only want to see the parts that has a specific value of the ipropertie "Positie".I found a sample code for VBA, but I cann't get it worked in ilogic.:

Sub HideSecond()
'Assumes you have an open drawing
'Assumes that view 1 of the active sheet is an assembly
'Turns off visibility of assembly's second component in open drawing's first view
[code]....

hind to turn this into ilogic and add the option to check the ipropertie to turn on the visibility

AutoCAD Inventor :: Modifying Component Visibility With Custom View Rep

Oct 11, 2011

In my neverending battle to find a way to turn off unneeded components in an assembly, I'm trying my hand at modifying component visibility with a custom View Rep. View reps seemed to pose fewer issues than LOD's (in that you can have a drawing and model open at the same time without a million error messages)......until I tried to make a pattern.

When first placing a new subassembly component into an assembly, it will automatically place in the "Last Saved" View Rep. Since certain parts may be invisible in my "skeletal" subassembly, this is ideal. HOWEVER, when I try to pattern this subassembly, all of the occurrences absolutely insist on displaying at the "Master" View Rep. This makes no sense to me whatsoever and destroys yet another workflow at the 99% mark. I understand that I can change the view rep manually, but manual workarounds and corrections defeat the point of using iLogic to manipulate our models.

Am I the only CAD user who wants the simple ability to "turn off" an assembly component? iAssemblies are not an option due to the shear number of combinations of unneeded components.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View In Idw

Apr 12, 2012

I'm having a problem with getting design views to show up properly in idw's.  I have turned off visibility in the model of the parts and patterns that I don't want to show.  When I insert a view into an idw using the design view, the patterns are still visible.  Take a look at the screen shots.  I have patterned hardware and idlers and they are not visible in the model, but they are in the drawing view.

AutoCAD Inventor :: QTY Of Parts In Design View Rep

Nov 29, 2011

I know this wasn't possible in the past (and probably still isn't now) but does any trick or something to only get the qty/parts used in a certain design view rep.

We are starting to do work orders (routings) with parts lists for ONLY whats used in that step in the process. Having to manually count screws,etc.. seems silly now.

Design view reps works excellent for showing the assembly process of a product but the parts list (even filtered to that design view rep) shows the total quantity of each component..not just the count in that design view rep.

Any possibility of doing this with ilogic or something?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View With Occurrence

Aug 21, 2013

I am working on some codes that let me make some change on visibility of occurrence. So I am I main assembly, and 3 occurrences of the same sub-assembly. The sub assembly was saved on a design view named hole that is hiding some occurrences.

if I work with one of those sub assembly (checkOcc as component occurrence)and then I try this:

                Debug.Print("Occurence name: " + CheckOcc.Name)
                Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                CheckOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default")
                Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)

The first time I check for the name, the result is empty, but is should hole as it's what I can see in the browser. then I change it to default.The result of that, the representation views disappear from the browser for that occurrence and still, the name is return as empty...then I carry on with turning on the hidden occurrences.

objCol.Add(checkocc)
dv.SetVisibilityOfOccurrences(objCol, visibility)

The result, all the hidden occurrence appear ALSO on the other subassemblies... It look that it's affecting all the Designview of all occurrence of that name...then, if I try the reverse, by turning it off... the switch off on the other occurrences but not the one that is checkoff!!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View Representation - Add Using IMates

Jun 17, 2013

Is there a secret to having the Design View Reps stay on the right settings when using Occurrences.AddUsingIMates? I've got a master top level assembly that I'm bringing other iLogic modules into by using an iLogic form in the master top level assembly. The form calls a rule that makes a copy of the module assembly in the same file location as the master TLA. It then adds the module TLA  to the master TLA using iMates, and calls an external rule to copy all the sub files from the module into that file location and replace them in the module TLA. The user then calls the module's configuration form using a button on the master TLA's form. 

I've been using a line of code to set the DVR back to default and associative for the module, but now that has stopped working and it immediately goes back to Master after running the rule, or even if I try and set it by hand. But if I bring the same module in and place it using the Place button, it comes in correctly. I've even added a NameValueMap for the DVR optional argument on AddUsingiMates and that hasn't work.

Now, do i have to manually unlock each of the design reps to have these new parts visible in the each of then design view reps?

If yes, any macro or ilogic tool to do this?
