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 :: Reference Parameter Measuring Between Two Parts In Assembly

Jul 31, 2012

I need to assign the dimension in my screenshot to a parameter so I can use it to drive another assembly. However, I can't find any way to capture it in a usable manner.

In the screenshot I have an associative part inserted that contains only a sketch with the projected line and point that I wish to measure between, but the geometry in the sketch does not update when the model geometry changes. This seems to be normal behavior?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reference Parameters In IRule That Value Of Parameter A Determines Value Of B

Nov 22, 2012

I want to reference parameters in an iRule in such a way that the value of parameter A determines the value of parameter b.

In this case i want to reference the dimensional height of a UC beam into a parameter <UC_HEIGHT> and then allow this to determine the value of uc designation size in a parameter <UC_DESIGNATION>

This would be useful because instead of typing the uc designation of a beam into the part description or matl. list i can just reference a parameter.

Is this possible? Iv tried an iRule along the lines of

if parameter (uc height) = xxx.x then parameter (uc designation) = 'custom test'

but get error messages

AutoCAD Inventor :: Set Parameter For End Value Of Parameter Animation

Dec 19, 2011

I got a deadline for my project, but I got a big problem:

"I cannot set the "parameter" for the End Value in Parameter Animate dialog"

For easy understand, let's see a example:

1. I got a part which has two parameters named: "A" and "MaxA"
2. I animate Favorited parameter A.
3. The End Value is MaxA_ (Everything is ok)
4. I finish Studio environment, then I change parameter MaxA_ from 200 mm to 400 mm
5. I turn back to Studio environment, the End Value now is "200 mm" (I want this will be MaxA_, so I can animate the flexible parameter). 

show me how to keep the end value will be "MaxA_" after I change parameter?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ipart - Standard Parameter Column Change Depending On Custom Parameter Column

Jan 3, 2013

I am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.

I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)

Is this possible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Model Parameter Text In Custom Symbol

Jun 27, 2012

Just installed 2013 Pro x64 and I'm doing a little testing. Using Tube and Pipe, I created a few mock pipe runs which are named according to a unique line number. When clicking on the Iproperties of any of these pipe runs, I can see that the value of model parameter "Part Number" now includes the name of the top level assembly and the line number, which is the name I assigned to the pipe run when I created it (see Fig 1 attached). Then in IDW I created a user defined symbol which contains text that I have directed to extract value of "part number" from the model properties, and fill in my symbol with that value (see Fig 2). The problem is, when I tag the pipe run with my custom symbol, the value in the symbol remains blank, instead of giving me the value of "part number".  WHAT am I missing??

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Model Adjust Correctly When Parameter Changed

Dec 13, 2011

I have a school project due tomorrow and I am almost completely finished. Except one part says that "Model adjusts correctly as __ varies". When I change a parameter, only that parameter changes and the rest of the part remains the same. I'll attach the assigment. I'll attach my work also if requested.

AutoCAD .NET :: Database Parameter In Batch Process - By Reference?

Nov 21, 2012

I have a master batch process which comprises several steps each of which will change the database. I am gettting the database once, then pass it thought the subsequent steps. Simple example in pseudo

void BatchAll(){
database db = new database
BindXref(db)
PurgeAll(db)
DoSomethingElse(db)
save dwg
}finish BatchAll

Should the database db be passed by reference (ref db)?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Parameter In IProperties

Jan 6, 2014

Sometimes I change the dimensions of a material I use but then I have to open Iproperties and change the description by hand. This can create problems as you can understand especially when I forget to update the Iproperties.

Then I had the thought to automate it. Lets take a steel bar as example. I have thickness and width as parameter, both are exported and available under IProperties/Custom. But they show as 200 mm and 10 mm. I would like to loose the units. I tried also UL but then it reads 200 ul and 10 ul.

What I like to get are just the numbers, no units. I like to use it to create this  "steel bar 200x10" where the 200 and the 10 are linked to the Parameter and will change when I change the dimensions av the steel bar.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Parameter From IPT File

Aug 8, 2012

I created a *.iam file. And from this asembly file, I need run some rules in *.ipt file.

I use

Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12

to give d12 parameter in my assembly to d12 parameter in *.ipt. It works.

But I need get parameter in the *.ipt file after running the rules in *.ipt.

so, I put 

d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")

following above line.

But everytime, I just be able to get the result before *.ipt run the rules, not after.

I noticed the rules in assembly were compeletely run, then run the rules in *.ipt. So, the result is not correct.

I am using Inventor 2009 with ilogic. XP OS.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom VBA Function In Parameter

Jan 31, 2013

I've got a custom VBA function that works perfectly when called from a parameter in my part.

However, when in the context of my assembly, there is no error, but the function no longer runs, and the parameter text is red.

Apparently, the function is no longer in context?

I've heard of external rules, but have never implemented one.

Is there a way to declare my function and keep it in context regardless?
 
Public Function BumpHeight(dblHeight As Double, dblMember As Double) As Double Dim X As Integer X = 2 If dblHeight > dblMember * 2 Then BumpHeight = dblHeight Else BumpHeight = dblMember * X End If BumpHeight = BumpHeight / 2.54 End Function
Here is the Parameter:

 VBA:BumpHeight(ValanceBackBumpoutHeight;ValanceMemberSize) * 1 in

Update: (problem better defined)

What seems to be happening is that once I insert the part into an assembly, it creates a new blank copy of the parts' modules in VBA and the functions no longer work.

If I go to the VBA editor, 

There are now two copies of my part listed in the browser tree, but the new one is blank.

If I paste in my function to the new one, it will work until I return to the parent assembly.

Next time I come back to the part, it will have a new blank set of modules.

This appears to continue indefinitely...

see the attached screenshot.

At this point there are only 2 copies of the DocumentProject. The original still contains my functions, but the new one is blank.

I need these functions to work in order to build my model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Round Parameter Using ILogic?

Sep 20, 2011

how to round a parameter using ilogic.

For example. I have Roperev=Roperev_1. Roperev_1 is determined by an excel equation. I need Roperev to produce a nominal number because this parameter dries a coil revolution and I need the revolution to be a whole number.

I can not just round the excel result because the excel result needs to be multiplied by 2.53 to get the resultant for Roperev_1

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pattern Subassembly By Parameter

Sep 5, 2013

In my head assembly I have a subassembly that has derived parts from my skeleton. My skeleton (part ending with skt in the picture) is in the subassembly.

In this subassembly I made a view representation: NoSKT..When this is activated the skeleton is hided (see picture).If I now make a pattern of this subassembly in my head assembly with for example a parameter from my embedded excel or a parameter in inventor "quantity = 2" inventor will add 1 element with the same view representation. Still no problem.

The problem is now when I change the parameter. If I change the quantity to for example 3, the view representation of the third element is gone and the skeleton will become visible.I have many parts like this in my head assembly and quite a lot of patterns. Which means a lot of skeletons become visible. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
