AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting Events Macro To Add-In
May 22, 2008
I have obtained a very useful macro from another discussion thread, [URL]....... It automatically names the frame members inserted by Frame Generator. I have modified the macro for our internal naming conventions, but the basic functionality is the same. I would like it to load automatically whenever I am in Inventor and believe an Add-In is the way to go. I have followed Brian Ekins "Taking the Step from VBA to Inventor Add-Ins" paper, but I think I am missing huge chunks on how Add-ins handle events and have been unsuccessful in finding any help topics. How to handle events in an add-in.

I'm building my first Addin by converting a macro. I've read Brian Ekins' white paper "Taking the step from VBA to Inv. Addins" (good stuff by the way) In that paper, he he describes creating a file "AUAddin.proj.user" in VB2005 Express. Basically the same name as the project file with a .user extension.
In VB2008 Express, a file by that name is created when the file is saved, the contents of that file contain a lot of commands similiar to those in the white paper. Is there a way to handle this? Can I add the contents from the white paper to the existing file?

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.
Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

How to "grab" the print event (Ctrl-P, File Print or Print icon) from an add-in. I would like to force the user to add some information about the print in a dialog before printing a drawing.
I can't find any application or document events fired when printing like OnSaveDocument, OnQuit in the object browser.

I wrote a small script in python to write dxf files out. I want to add this to a button on the ribbon. I got that sorted out and can get my button to appear where I want it. I am having trouble calling the script from the button though.
The API tells me that the button has an OnExecute() event that I should listen for to call my script. I have been searching on how to do that from python but I haven't had any luck.

When I click the Escape button, All the selection events are stopped working. Please follow the steps below reproduce.
1. Create the Select Events Object using the following steps.
m_pCommandManager->CreateInteractionEvents(&m_spiInteractor);
m_spiInteractor->put_SelectionActive(VARIANT_TRUE);
hr = m_spiInteractor->get_SelectEvents(&m_spiSelectEventsObj);
m_spiSelectEventsObj->put_Enabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
m_spiSelectEventsObj->PutWindowSelectEnabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
[code]....
2. Open the part and Select any face in the model.
I get the following event.
STDMETHODIMP CSelectionEventHandler:nEvent_OnSelect(ObjectsEnumerator * JustSelectedEntities,SelectionDeviceEnum SelectionDevice, Point * ModelPosition, Point2d * ViewPosition, View * View )
3. Now click on the Escape button. Now if you try to select any face , no call back is received.

My add-in is working fine in Windows 7 with or without Run As Admin.
I have created my add-in using VS 2010 SP1.0.
Now, if I try to launch Inventor(w/o Run As Admin i.e just double click) 2014 SP1.0, in Windows 8, my add-in works fine.
If I launch Inventor with Run As Admin, My add-in stops receiving call backs from Inventor.

When I am done with a drawing (inventor .dwg), I manually go to "Save Copy As" and select DXF, and using my default options, save the drawing as a DXF on a server (OUTSIDE of vault) that our shop guys can access for CNC stuff. I understand there is a DXF Translator that I may be able to set to do this for me. How to use Inventor add-ins (my translator is loaded, thats as far as I got) or set them as macros. A button on the ribbon to export to DXF would be nice and I may also want to automate this further and have it do it on file save.

We want to change iassemblies in a table using macro. When we change an iassemblies, inventor asks "Do you want to save changes to ......?". There are many iassemblies in our model, so it takes serious amount of time. We can disable all messages using macro, But this time after macro completion, there may be some errors in model, because we dont accept all changes. How can we accept all changes while running macro?
We use SilentOperation property. but in Save dialog, there are some parts indicated "yes" and some indicated "no". how can we change them "yes" and save all dependents?

How to call a addin from vba ? The addin is existing, source code not available :-(
My only idea is to somehow activate the button on the ribbon. Made a dump with the Print Ribbon routine from the online API help:
Tab: CDLIGHT, CDLIGHT.Part.Tab
Panel: iToolbox, CDLIGHT.iToolbox.Part.ToolBar

We just updated to 2013 this morning, and my macro isn't in the drop down (All Application Projects and Active Documents) menu like they were in 2012.
I haven't been able to find it when searching either. I created a test macro, and it showed up: C:Userscad1AppDataLocalTempUserProject1.ivb
But still is not in the dropdown in the macro menu. I'm using the same project that I had in 2012.Did installing 2013 remove/write over my maco? I imported my preferences this morning, they seem to be fine.

I added two macros to be run from a button in the ribbon. The first time I run one of these macros after startup of Inventor, it takes a lot of time to run (approx. 5 sec.). But the second and subsequent time the tools are ran, the process is pretty much instantaneous. It's like the VBAeditor has to load on the background before the tool can process.
I arrived a this hypothesis because the VBA editor is taking around 5-10 seconds to load for the first time but after the tool (macro) has ran once, the VBA editor can be opened instantaneously.

Malfunctioning Title Block Macro in Inventor 2014? The script is attached. I think there is a problem with datums. I have switched to a new computer and installed Inventor 2014 on it. The macro worked with my old computer and Inventor 2013. This is a .ivb-file, not a .txt-file. Please change that before you test it.

I want to handle events on viewport.
When I resize my viewport the event must be triggered.
I'm using Qt in my project. So to display the QWidget in appropriate position I need events to do it.

I have created a basic add-on that shows a modal windows form. The only issue I am running into is that I am completely unable to capture any key events in the form. I just want to make the escape key close my form, but I'm having no luck. Here is my basic setup:
<CommandMethod("myCommand")> _Public Sub myCommand() Dim myForm As Form1 = New Form1Autodesk. AutoCAD. Application Services. Application.ShowModalDialog(myForm)End Sub
Then in the form code, I have this, for testing purposes:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress MsgBox("keypress") End Sub
I've also tried KeyUp and KeyDown. Key presses are working inside the form (I can use the keyboard to select an item in a combobox, for example), but I never hit the event handlers.

I am trying to find out which Cell in a table is being / has been modified, in AutoCAD 2011 with C#.
I have subscribed to the Table's .Modified event, but when this is triggered by modifying some MText in a Cell, the Table's .HasSubSelection property is false and its .SubSelection property throws an exception. Conversely, modifying the MText in a Cell does not trigger the Table's .SubObjectModified event.
I noticed a class called Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Reactors.TableSubSelectFilter which has a event called CellSelected, but how to instantiate such a class for the Table and subscribe to this event.
How Autodesk intends you to determine which Cell of a Table has been modified?

I receive text files daily from our survey crew. Importing each point file daily creates multiple import events under the database. Is there a way to combine import events to make it easier when wanting to work with all points ?
I have combined multiple text files in the past then did the import, but I then would receive another file some where down the road that would needed added to the drawing.
