I was told there is a way to combine the lengths of the same spec pipe you use in an assembly, all pipes I use is from the content centre and I just can't seem to find how to make it one pipe with the length of all the pipes added together in the parts list.

I just loaded Autocad 13 and was wondering if there is a larger part list library available for pressure pipes.
ie more valves, fire hydrants, backflow preventors
Under the Settings tab in the prospector go to Pressure Network/parts list/ It allows you to do things with DIP but does not give options for PVC.

I have a pipe size shown as 15" that is incorrect, it should read and label the pipe as 16" (see attached image). I don't know a lot of the workings how to edit this from 15 to 16 inch and what I need to do to get it correct for the other C3D users in the office.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made one part out of 4 different sections. And now I'm trying to combine it into one solid. My thought process was: if I make a derived part out of them it'll automatically make it a solid part. But I'm still having separate surfaces where two should have been united.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.
My parts list on my idw do not update when I make changes to the model. Specifically, I have deleted a bolted connection on my design and replaced with a different components but the parts list table does not update - all I see is a lightning bolt in the browser next to the parts list but I cannot update it here.

I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??
Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.
So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.
One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

I have a .idw that I'm trying to make a parts list on. I select parts list and highlight everything. There are two screws that are not showing up on the parts list. I cannot select them manually either. It's acting like they are not there. Even if I do a complete parts list (adding the assemblies parts into one big list), they still don't show up.
How can I select these parts? What is wrong with them that they do not show up in the parts list?
When labeling pipes in a pipe network; is there a way or expression to roundup the label to 6 inch interval. For example, if I have a pipe length of 2.6 feet, I want to roundup this to 3.0 feet and if I have a pipe length of 2.4 feet, I want to roundup this to 2.5 feet.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to reorder the parts in an assembly with tube & pipe fittings, i want to put them in folders.
The problem is that i can't drag & drop the fittings, i can add them to folders when all the parts are together but i can't move those folders around after that either.
The fittings get this special T&P content icon, other CC parts (with the "book" icon) can move around like i want.
Is there a way to make the T&P fittings act like normal CC parts, so i can reorder them?
Using IV2014 Pro SP1 update 1, Win7-64bit
I have an assembly to which I have added some tube & pipe fittings from the content center.
I have a swivel elbow that I no longer require in the assembly but I am unable to delete it. This applies to all of the tube & pipe fittings within the assembly, not just this elbow.
I have attached a screen dump that may offer guidance.
It seems like most people output the whole BOM. I only want to data in the Part Number column, preferably as a list of strings.
Here's what I have so far:
foreach (Sheet oSheet2 in aDoc.Sheets){ for (int i = 1; i < (oSheet2.PartsLists.Count+1); i++) { var oPartsList = oSheet2.PartsLists[i]; for(int k = 1; k < oPartsList.PartsListColumns.Count+1; k++) { if (oPartsList.PartsListColumns[k].Title.Equals("PART NUMBER")) { //what goes here??? } } }}
I've been using the "Phantom" BOM Structure to roll up duplicate .ipt's when I have more than one sub-assembly within a higher .iam and it has worked well.
Question - is it possible to adjust settings so that the .iam that I "Phantom" itself remains as a visable line item in the Parts List while still rolling up like .ipt's?
I have a drawing and I need to get a list of parts. I see *most* solutions use the parts list on the sheet itself. I will not have access to that. Is there a way to get a list of parts WITHOUT accessing oSheet.PartsList[1] ?

As an academic interest I was trying to convert Brian’s code for exporting Parts list with thumbnail to VB.net 2012. I just modified the below code to remove the vb6 support. I am using VS 2012 and Inventor 2014. The end result on the word report thumb nail for some parts are not visible. It goes to the error code and putting the text instead of thumb nail. At the same time Brian’s code as it is (used the exe file to install it) works fine on the same parts list with all thumb nail.

We would like to put barcodes in a parts list. To create a barcode we use a special barcode font.
It's impossible to have two types of fonts within one parts list, but is there an other way? Is there code (VBA) to generate a table with an extract of the bill of materials and a barcode generated
with a special font on the fly. We would basically need a parts list with an extra column for the barcode.

is there any way to make all the rows in the BOM/parts list on an IDW the same height? I did a search on this and saw nothing new on this. the reason we need this is for a program we use after export to dwg. it is a program we use in autocad that is a txt copy lisp program to populate attributed customer title blocks.

Want parts to be sorted from 1 ascending. Add a part number in custom properties as a number. Asks the part list to sort - ends like this: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,......, 2, 21, 22, 23, .......,3 , 31 and so on ?????
Is this a bug or how do I change this?
I'm trying to create a parts list that will show item numbers for the sub assemblies and the individual parts for each sub assembly. When I'm creating the parts list in the drawing, the option for "All Levels"is greyed out once I select my source assembly. How I can show this in a Parts list?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the continuing saga of me trying to learn Inventor, I have a question about the said named subject. I have a BOM that I need some subassemblies shown as such and others showing as the individual parts.
How do you configure the BOM to show both?
I have an assembly that I have the BOM property set to phantom. Consists of 7 parts, each have a bom property of purchased.
All parts are the same but cut to length in the shop. Parts list are based on parts only BOM. If I create a parts list based on just the assembly, I can group the items, they all have the same part number, and display the group participants, and the item numbers and everything works as expected.
If I use this assembly as a subassembly in a larger assembly and create a partslist with the same group keys, the subassembly does not show as a group, does not show group participants or corresponding item numbers.
What I'm trying to do is show total length of a product that we buy on a spool for this assembly. To do this I'm using substitution in the qty column. Most parts are purchased each, these are purchased by length. What would cause the parts list to display as a group in one list but not in the other?
I have a drawing detailing an assembly with a 3 sub- assemblies. Each sub-assembly has 4 parts. When I add a parts list only the 3 sub-assemblies are listed. Is there a way to generate a parts list with 12 parts?

When I edit parts list set up im styles editor or edit parts list and go format column, apply units formatiing and set columns for one unit type and precision, then I get an error about units being incompatible because some items I have listed as each some by lf.
How to change precision in one column of parts list and keep unchanged unit formatting?
Styles in Inventor have always been confusing to me. I have ONE project file, ONE teplates folder, but TWO different drawing templates (one for single part drawings, one for assembly drawings). For simplicity sake, lets say the ONLY difference I want between the two drawing templates is the parts list. The assembly template parts list should have lets say one more column than the other.
I did what I thought should do it but it isn't working properly. What's the best way to accomplish this? Right now within the same style library I have two parts lists set up, and I have two "standards". The only difference between the two standards is which parts list box is checked on "available styles". When I change "object defaults" to onw parts list or the other, it changes that default for all drawing templates, not just the one I'm using.
I have one main assembly with two seperate sub assemblies in it. I need to make two drawings showing the installation of both sub assemblies (one drawing for each). I need to insert views of the main assembly into each drawing, showing the overall view of the install, but I need the balloons to represent the sub assembly BOM.
I tried making the sub assembly I'm not currently showing, Phantom, and I have a design view set up to hide the information of the sub that is not part of the current drawing. That seems to work fine for the first drawing, but when I change the BOM (of the main assembly) to suit the next drawing, it affects the first drawing. How can I use one main BOM to suit two different drawings, showing only certain components? Or can I "tell" the balloons which BOM to reference? (I have the BOM of the sub assemblies set up the way I want them as well)
