what Collapse To Definitions does inside the iLogic Rules Editor. I've read online how it works in applications such as Visual Studio but I don't see any difference in iLogic between it and the other outlining tools such as Toggle All Outlining.

I opened a part today and noticed that it had collapsed into itself.
This should be a rectangle 85x15.75:
On closer inspection it appears that the vertical lines somehow became zero length lines. Why does this happen?
Edit: I should mention that I was able to repair the skecth by making the 85" dimension driven, then dragging the line over...
I have been having trouble storing attributes on border definitions. I have multiple borders which need to be used for different types of drawings. I have developed a tool which will use the desired border pragmatically and it works as planned. Currently the logic selects a border based on name, but since this can be edited by the user I need a more dependable way of retrieving a border. I had thought attributes would be the answer, but I'm running into problems. The attributes just won't stick. I've tried to add them manually through the API and with the Attributes Helper tool released.
See below for the code I'm using to add the attributes
Dim oAttr As Inventor.Attribute Dim oAttrSet As AttributeSet Set oAttrSet = oBorderDef.AttributeSets.Add("TestAttributeSet", True) oAttrSet.Copy = True Set oAttr = oAttrSet.Add("TestAttribute", kIntegerType, 12345) Debug.Print oAttrSet.Parent.Parent.Name & " " & oAttrSet.Name & " " & oAttr.Name & " " & oAttr.Value
It will print information leading me to believe that the attribute was added, but if I try to retrieve it either through the attributemanager or manually cycling through the border definitions no attributes exist.
I am migrating into Inventor from Solid Works, which had a keyboard short cut for collapsing the parts tree in the browser. Is there a similar command for IV?

You will see from the attached screen snipe what I mean about being forced to insert it at the 0,0, coordinates. I'd like to insert it into clear space then scale it and move it into replace the existing logo.
I have some code to replace the current title block with a title block from a template file. I just don't like how it adds a new title block definition named "copy of titleblock". I'd like to delete or replace the current title block definition so only the newly added one is listed.
Sub test() Dim odrawdoc As DrawingDocument Set odrawdoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument If (odrawdoc.DocumentType <> kDrawingDocumentObject) Then Exit Sub Dim oTemplate As DrawingDocument Dim oSourceTitleBlockDef As TitleBlockDefinition Dim oNewTitleBlockDef As TitleBlockDefinition Dim oSheet As Sheet Set oTemplate = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(ThisApplication.FileOptions.TemplatesPath & "template.idw", False) Set oSourceTitleBlockDef = oTemplate.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.Definition Set oNewTitleBlockDef = oSourceTitleBlockDef.CopyTo(odrawdoc) ' Iterate through the sheets. For Each oSheet In odrawdoc.Sheets oSheet.Activate oSheet.TitleBlock.Delete Call oSheet.AddTitleBlock(oNewTitleBlockDef) Next oTemplate.CloseEnd Sub
I'm just being picky at this point, but I don't want a buildup of title block definitions. We reuse drawings all the time which is why a simple method of updating a title block would be nice. I can just imagine in some years time after a title block update or two there are 20 "copy of copy of copy of .................. titleblock" listed in a drawing file.
I am creating a series of Blocks representing cable terminations with labels at each end for terminal number, wire number and wire color for each twisted-cable pair, ie six labels for each pair. There will be blocks for cable configurations with different numbers of pairs. Having created the first block for a single pair, it should be easy to develop the multiple pair versions by copying the elements and renaming the labels, but I have to edit each attribute definition individually - is there a way of globally editing the definitions in the same way that you can edit attribute values when the block is used; eg if I have attribute Tags T1, W1, C1 and want to rename them to T2, W2, C2?

1. Is the best way to create a design surface having a feature lines and then creating grading objects? Then how do i create a FILL grading group for an eroded embankment of a reservoir. The examples on a typical book e.g."master civil 3d 2012" shows a pond design.
I started a polyline boundary area just a bit smaller than cogo points consist of - survey points shot on the edge on the cliff, shot midway to wall of the cliff and shots taken to where the toe of rip rap fill-boundary should be.More points were created with elevations which represent whats on the site. (See image) . is this correct? On the base feature boundary, do i just tell what length of the boundary line it must be graded from the top of the cliff, 1:2 slope and when I get to the portion of the base feature boundary line at the toe , I just tell how far the length of the boundary line is the and give a slope value of 1:1.5. Should this work.
2. I'm about to try to model the the design surface a different way. (from the cliff 1:2, it goes this way for 5 ft, changes to 1:1.5)
do I create feature lines at toe , then vertical feature line between the toe and the cliff , then use the grading editor or elevation editor
3. Once I obtain the infill surface of the fill, how rotate or orient the model , ( rock material - rendered) so Photo 3 is draped over it.?

Everything is working fine, but ... I want to make some of my groupbox to be expandable/collapsible, like here (3D visualization):

I think that using groupbox control is bad idea, so how can I make some container with my controls (label and textbox) and make this container expandable/collapsible?
Is there a way to hide or collapse several rows in a Table with a single click? This would be similar to grouping rows together in Excel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Property Set Definitions I have a attribute table called "ROOM_NO". This is where I enter the full number/character of the room, in my case the value usually looks like "101A", and sometimes "A101B" for Room number.
I was asked to do another table to separate the fields.
ROOM_PREFIX ROOM_NUM. ROOM_SUFFIX.
Separating the room number in 3 attribute tables to "A 101 B"
I was thinking referencing the ROOM_NO table in each box and filtering out the numbers and character. For example in ROOM_PREFIX I would reference ROOM_NO and filter out the number and the suffix letter through a formula. And in ROOM_NUM I would Filter both alphabetical character.
how to write such formula?
I've created a dynamic block with two visibility states. The second state is a copy of the first state, but some of the attribute definitions have been moved, along with some of the geometry.
When I insert the block, then toggle between the two visibility states, the geometry changes as I would expect, but the attributes stay in the position dictated on the first state.
How can I make sure that the attributes move for the second state, as I need them to.
I am a user of AutoCAD 2014 plain vanilla. I created a title block for my company which has worked well for a year or so. Recently, I have been experiencing the following. After inputing info like an address, sheet name etc. into an attribute definition everything will be fine. When I go and work on other other pages in paperspace, and then return, I will find that the text has dropped vertically into an area it shouldn't. how to remedy this? Attached is a screenshot.
View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a rectangle and want to change the dimensions of it. There are a couple of attributed definitions that I want to stretch the and change it length but I alsowant the attributed definitions to move with the right hand side of the rectangle and the stay a constant distance from the right hand side. Unfortunately when I use the stretch action it filters out the attributed from the object that I can stretch, any way to include these AD’s with the stretch action

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with all my block definitions and the blocks inserted and annotated. Seems that in a previous version of Autocad, I could insert the drawing and cancel the insertion at some point of the insertion command sequence, such that the drawing was not inserted, but all the block definitions remained. I could then use the insert command and all of these blocks were available. Yes, sometimes this made my drawing memory size rather large and I would have to purge the unused blocks later to reduce the memory size of my drawing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a new property set definition and added two manual property definitions and applied this to all objects. Every object on the drawings has distinct values for these two properties. These property values show correctly on the Extended Data tab of the Properties palette.
I have published to DWFX with AEC property set data set to 'Include'. In the resulting DWFX in Autodesk Design Review I can select each object and see the standard properties but not my special property set data.
Is there a way to change the material definitions to CTB format in the plot style under the material style? See attached image.
I have a client that wants everything in CTB format and in AutoCAD Architecture. I can get the drawings into CTB but the materials plot way too heavy and when I go in the styles they show Full Saturation or Wide, Thin from the STB plot styles.
The Drawing is in CTB and I am pulling my hair out trying to get the couple materials used set to Color based plotting.
Any way to create a dynamic link between the property set attached to a space and excel?
I have a lots of spaces that has a property set attached, some of this property changes often. So if it was possible to create a excel sheet that presents each property for each space and then I could change the property in excel and put it back to Architecture it would save me a lot of time.
I am new to dynamic blocks. I have figured out how to use the Properites block for "preset" definitions but we offer a product in infine sizes (within limits). For example the width may range from 30" to 200" in fractional increments which is impossible to set up presets. Is there a way that a person can set up the properties block so that a person would be prompted to enter required information, I.E. Width = xx", Height = xx" etc.?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using some custom property set definitions to add information to spaces. However as I insert spaces I find that I have to go to the extra step to add the property set to the object using the Extended Data tab in the Properties Palette.
It is not a huge deal but sometimes it is forgotten and schedules are not reporting properly, or the display theme is not correct. Although there are tools to quickly add them I would like to know if there is an automatic way to add them while creating the spaces/zones.
On a related note. There is a property set definition that is in each file by default called RoomFinishObjects. Is there a way to purge this? I don't want to attach finishes to my objects. But it seems to be embedded in the file.
Is there a way to preset the reach of the sprout on Location Property Definitions in Property Sets?
For example, I have upper cabinets that aren't over a Space, because there isn't flooring underneath them. Because of this, the sprout reports "Space Not Found" in the cabinet schedule, and I have to go in and manually pull each sprout out until it latches onto a Space.
I would like to set all sprouts to automatically reach out 2'6" from their insertions point.
I FINALLY decided to get my head around the Sheet Set Manager (kudos to Kate Morrical's video series).
I understand the need to create custom properties, and I can see that you can either "add" or "delete" custom properties, but is there any way to CHANGE the property after it's been defined?
For example, if I create a custom property complete with a default value, but discover later that I made a spelling mistake (eg. "Darwn By" instead of "Drawn By"), is there any way to MODIFY it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan I "collapse" displacements in Maya?I mean, in Max you can use a displacement modifier with a map applied, and you can see your displacement effect in viewport. Then, you can collapse this modifier and your geometry has now the displacement effect collapsed, is a new geometry with very nice detail.This is very usefull for example to use this geometry in Mudbox with a very nice base mesh.In Softimage you can do the same thing with a push deformer with your displacement map applied.
