View 1 RepliesWe have about 1000 drawings with VBA code that copies information from the title block into the drawing file custom properties. We have done this to get the information into a ACAD block to meet our clients requirements. It is an autosave routine so it runs whenever the file is saved in Inventor. We would like to make a change to the VBA code so we need to replace the autosave routine in the file with another.
Manual steps are:
Open the file
Enter VBA editor
Delete the autosave routine (without exporting)
Import the new autosave routine
Exit the VBA editor
Save and close the file
I'm sure we would write a routine to do this. However the effort from scratch may be more that just manually processing the files.

What is the best way to autoload my dll code when AutoCAD loads?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found some code which extracts the part number from the iproperties of a model and adds it to the custom iproperties of a drawing but this will only work on iam or ipt files.
Here's the code, I added the lines referring to the docment type as an attempt to fix the error but it didn't work...
If (ThisDrawing.ModelDocument Is Nothing) Then ReturnIf ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.DocumentType = kPresentationDocumentObject Then modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)End IfIf

We are looking at using Autoloader to load inventor files to the vault. Problem is we do not use the default folder "Designs" in our Vault folder structure it is named differently.
So what happens is that Autoloader does not find the designs folder and creates one automatically, and files are uploaded to this folder which is exactly what we do not want.
I need to change the Autoloader settings to use the differently named folder not the designs folder..

I have a project in my PC, and build it to file ".dll". It is working fine in my machine with "netload" command (to load it).
But in another PC "Netload" command can not load it . How i can load Dll file on other PC?
I am not able to find monochrome.ctb when I click on File -> Page Setup Manager -> Modify -> Plotstyle table my only selection are .stb files which are color. When I try to add a new file it will not allow me to do a .ctb file or changes the properties from color to grayscale.
I have gotten a driver for monochrome.ctb from my co-worker. I clicked on File-> Plot Style Manager-> Add-A-Plot Table Wizard and then walked through the steps to upload the monochrome.ctb drive. The drive then appears on the list of drivers in Plot Style Manager. However it will still not let me select monochrome.ctb as an option to publish to. Is there something that I have not tride? Am I able to use .ctb in AutoCAD LT 2012?
I just upgraded to a 5D and LR4.. when I import the files load as CR2 files, not DNG files. When the files import it takes 4 files to find them. It also will not recognize the file names in the library. How do I fix this to import like it did in LR 3??

i entered to the setting of the point cloud from the toolspace toolbar , i found that there are about 32 million points but only 700000 points are displayed in the drawing. Is there a way to display all the loaded points in my drawing to show all the points since i need to render a high resolution pictures for my lots.
For some reason I cant get my lisp files to automatically load. im doing the same thing i did in other versions, but i have to constantly tell them to load when i want to use one.
I have them in the search path, i have them set to load with every drawing in options, what am i missing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large scan project (Scene 5.0's new file structure) that contains a few registered workspaces (*.fws) and I would like to import at least one into AutoCAD 2013. I followed the workflow of going to Insert>Point Cloud>Create Point Cloud, and I selected the *.fws that I wanted to import (or rather have indexed into a *.PCG).
As soon as I hit 'Create' I get an error that says 'FAILURE! Fail to open scan file" and nothing happens. I can import *.fls, but they are not registered.
Does FARO not support AutoCAD 2013?
I've just switched to autocad 2012, and when I'm opening dwg files it takes up to 2-3 minutes to open and save them. Autocad 2007 opens and saves the same files in mere seconds without problems.

If I copy the code into iLogic, I just get an error message. Why it runs fine as a separate macro, but doesn´t work in Inventor, or how I can include the code into the template? URL....

I am looking for a way to log out of vault from within Inventor using iLogic codes. I have created an iLogic rule that automates export an assembly drawing and all sub component drawings. In my code, I have suppressed all Inventor prompts but I do not have a way to suppress Vault prompts. I can manually log off from vault and run this rule without any problems. However, if I forget to do so, I am stuck responding to update requests from vault and check out requests constantly for each and every file.
any iLogic code to log in and log out of vault?
I would like to know of a way of grabbing the code that triggers different commands for example, someone a while back gave me this command of
This Application.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("SheetMetalStylesCmd").Execute
this triggers the Sheet metal defaults in a sheetmetal ipt file.Where was the SheetMetalStylesCmd part of it taken from?
I recently created some iLogic based components. I wonder how difficult it is to protect the iLogic code, similar as VBA code which can be password protected.
The reason being:
1. Of course, to hide & protect the creator's modeling logic;
2. To avoid the relation between parameters being messed up by the end user unintensionally.
I did have the opportunity to raise the question during the Portathon event and the answer was that the protection not directly available, though the workaround could be mixing with some Inventor API coding in .NET.
However, this might defeat one of the benefits of iLogic, simple and ease to use, gentlr learning curve, especially for users with VBA experience. .NET might not be so easy for a lot of engineers from mechanical or other disciplines.
1 Disable the "Edit" button for iLogic components, including rules, forms, etc.;
2. Put all code that are to be protected in an external file, and then make that file unreadable (password protected, or other protection) to un-intended user, however, readable to those who have proper access privelege.

I have a code to shows a thumbnail of inventor drawings and it works in inventor 2012 but gives an error in inventor 2014 (trail)
It shows a thumbnail of inventor drawings and I used the examples on this website:
[URL]
The filelocation of the document is correct (i checked the error message with catch)
Try
Dim doc As Document = oApp.Documents.Open(FileDir & "" & DisplayItem & ".idw", False)
Dim thumbnail As stdole.IPictureDisp = doc.Thumbnail
Dim img As Image = Compatibility.VB6.IPictureDispToImage(thumbnail)
Me.PictureBox1.Image = img
Catch
MsgBox(FileDir & "" & DisplayItem & ".idw")
End Try
Is there a change in the way stdole.IPictureDisp or Compatibility.VB6.IPictureDispToImage(thumbnail) works?
Perhaps a change in how inventor handles thumbnails?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have managed to perform a stress analysis on a part (which only 1/4 of it is shown due to its symmetry). Upon running the simulation and displaying the results for Von Mises Stress, all the part has been fully colored in blue, and there are no signs of any red areas. However, the bar line on the left still indicates that there are areas which are highly stressed. I'm now confused weather if there any areas of the part are exhbiting this type of stress, and if yes, how can I locate the most highly stressed parts?

I'm looking at a way to edit the Application Options tab when a particular file is opened. For example, by loading file "template" it would set constraint options to a standard, set the background color of the application, etc. giving me a songle file to load my preferred settings.
For a first run example, need code such that when I open the file and run the rule, it would change the username from User to NWilson?
I'm very weak with the API code tools and structure, and I have zero VB experience. My train of thought is as follows:
Dim x = ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName
If x = User
Then ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName=NWilson

A while back I figured out how to put a few characters before and after several lines of code in iLogic to make it compress to one line or expand to its full size inside the code editor. I belive this is a fairly common VBA command, but I can't figure out how to do it again.
