AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Feature Dialog
Oct 10, 2013
Creating feature edit dialogs? I currently have working program that creates a custom pocket/cavity but I'm having trouble with the User Interface and setting up a solid structure to handle events.My goal is to mimick how the "add hole" dialog works by having the following attributes:
- Ribbon button to bring up dialog
- Dimensions update when the dialog text boxes are updated
- Right click menu to edit existing features
- Existing dimensions and other properties are loaded when the dialog is used to edit existing features
So far, I have my classes structured this way:
AddinServer (handles loading and unloading the command) ->
CavityCommand (defines the buttons and containes event handlers) ->
CavityFeature (wraps up multiple identicle cavities into one client feature) ->
Cavity defitions (draws individual cavities using more specific classes)

is it possible to create an entire feature using the API: an entry to the feature tree, regenerate geometry on demand, edit/create dialog box.

I'm looking to do sort of an adaptive annotation thorugh vb.net.
Essentially i'd like it start with a leader and instead of your normal text dial that appears, you get a box to punch in values in a grid. 5 columns across, as many as two rows.
The idea being if i punch in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the first six boxes all 5 in the first row appear with boxes around each number and then only the 6 has aa box around it on row 2.
I can see it as a table 5x2, and the format option being if the cell has text, the border type is outline. Although i don't think those options exist for inventor.

When connecting to an Industry Model one can use the Convert to Industry Model dialog.Here you can select the source you want to map. This can be an FDO connection, a file (SDF, SSQLite, DWG).If you choose DWG, 4 options can be used as input/source:
AutoCAD Entities,
Layers
Object data
Block Names
However, the MAP 3D feature classes (from Classification) are not listed here, nor can I find (Hoping I am overlooking it) a way of converting mapping them to the IM. Seems the only option is to redo the classification "defintion" effort again.
If this is the case, I am getting more the impression that Map3D is becomming a bunch of tools rather then a consistent framework supporting a step by step path from CAD to GIS to Industry Model type it is being marketed.

So simple little retaining wall subassembly created in the SAC. When i extract multiple feature lines from a corridor using this subassembly, all the feature lines assume the elevation of the first link i selected. So if i first click on 'RW_Hinge" all successive feature lines will show up with the same elevations as "RW_Hinge". if i erase all the feature lines the select a different link say "RW_Top" then they all go to "RW_Top".

I have been using the new populate feature. I would like to use custom skins. I have several biped figures that are what I would like to use for textures. I am not sure how the mapping works and you can not just copy the textures over.
What do I have to do to take my texture from my biped skinned character and apply it to the populate character?

When inserting a content center part for which we have to choose a material, we would like to have a custom material as a default (material with name: "No material selected"). So when selecting no material for this part (for example when the user forgets to select a specific material), the default material (in this case material "No material selected") will be active. In this way, we can see in one view across the BOM which parts have no material assigned yet.
How can this be achieved in the content center (editor)?

When using Inventor with Vault, we have a problem when categorizing custom content center parts in Vault. In short, custom content center parts are incorrectly categorized as "Content Center" and automatically released - as there is no property that we can use to identify these files.
I need iLogic code to trigger when custom content center files are created/saved, wich adds the following custom iproperty "IsCustomContentCenter=True".

I am trying to create custom Materials in Inventor 2013. I have been able to create the custom appearances I want use on the materials and store them in the Inventor Materials Library.
After creating the custom appearance, Ive created new materials. When I try to change to new material appearance from default to my custom appearance, upon hitting the 'apply' button I get an error message which reads, 'failed to updated style'.

I was wondering if there could be a feature where you can right-click the Navigator window to set custom percentages?
When you currently right-click the navigator it just uses the OSX system right-click. I have been needing to use the percentage 133.33 during a project and have to manually type it in each time. If you could mark custom percentages as a breakpoint it would allow me to jump to that breakpoint when using CMD - /CMD + .

I've been a faithful photoshop user for quite some time now, but today I got wickedly impressed by this tiny software that features this awesome specular highlighting technique that photoshop does not do by default.This software is called "Art Text 2"H! I had prepared some image links but cause I'm so new I can't put them.[URL]...
As you can see, the bevel reflection is created using the specular information of the "sphere map". Furthermore the program allows you to change the sphere map highlights interactively, and even choose your own image sphere maps. This is just amazing, isn't it? Creating realistic metal text or things is just super easy with this. I think everyone of us has had problems doing realistic metal effects on photoshop, am I wrong?
In Photoshop you have the "bevel and emboss" style feature, and it works pretty well, but it isn't made for say: reflecting a window on the beveled text.Sphere maps are commonly used in gaming to simulate realistic reflection of 3d objects, and I can think of a million ways of using this technique on 2d. way of simulating this sphere map reflection on layers on Photoshop?

I am using corel draw to run my laser engraver and I am trying to make a custom frame. Epilog laser.com has a tutorial how to do it, but I am afraid it is a tutorial for corel draw x3 or x4. I have x5 and when I follow the tutorial, I am not able to get the result I want. I find trouble when I try to trim out the images from the frame.

I have been working with some GIS data in the form of SHP files in autocad map 3D 2011. On one of my layers I have started getting "Feature was not saved in the target feature source" when I try to check in my data. In total there are 308 errors in the data table, all of which were features I deleted. They all have a featID of null and I cannot remove them from the data table. I need to fix these errors without going back and starting over.

I am running Autodesk Map3D 2012 and I need to label my feature points no matter if they overlap or not.The Map3D documention refers to a check box that will allow what I believe I need- but I cannot find the checkbox in the style editor. Here's a clip from the Autocad documentation:
To allow labels to obscure points on the selected layer..In the Display Manager , select the point layer. Click the Style button.In the Style Editor, click Allow Other Labels To Obscure Feature Symbols On This Layer.

I'm trying to use the cut across bend feature on a sheet metal part. However, when I check cut across bend, it grays out all of the other cutout options, and only has thickness as the only option. This is perplexing to me, because I can't think of too many times I'd need this option other than when there is more than one thickness of material I need to manipulate the profile onto.
I was to understand that this "cut across bend" is for use similar to the "normal cutout" command in solid edge? Keeps the cut perpendicular to the sheet face in a sheet metal part.

In the Snippet Ilogic examples can be found a code example to pop up the "Save File Dialog":

Code to show the print dialog?

I would like to both flip and mirror (or pattern) a feature onto the opposite side of a rectangular extrusion.
For example (assuming a rectangular solid extruded in the Z dimension), I have two counter bored holes on the top surface of the solid aligned with the X axis and I would like a copy of those holes on the bottom surface but aligned with the Y axis. If I pattern the holes rotating them 90 degrees and then attempt to mirror them, I can only select all four or the two originals. Is there any way to disassociate the rotated copies from the originals while still retaining control over their dimensions from a single sketch?

I downloaded the autodesk inventor " feature recognition" add-in from the inventor labs website. Then, I opened inventor, went under tools, then clicked the add-in manager icon (the little plus sign). There, I saw the "feature recognition" add-in and set it to "automatic/loaded." Then I imported an stl file and tried to use the feature recognition add-in by selecting and right clicking on the part but could not find the "feature recognition" listed on the list of options. I tried the same thing by selecting the part in the history tree without any success in that way either. How to successfully download this feature recognition add-in and use it to convert an stl file to an inventor part and recreate its history tree? How do I make the feature recognition add-in visible on the ribbon? or how do i call up this add-in so that I can use it?

I have made a sheet metal panel with three hole in it.Every hole has separate parameters.
When i suppress one hole and i go to the BOM i don't want to see the values of the parameters from the suppressed hole.
Is there a way to when i suppress one or two holes the values don't show in the BOM?
Everytime i suppress one or two holes the values show up in the BOM.

I have a tube which I'm adding a pocket to the outside by removing some material. I then need to array that around the tube. However I need to offset each pocket along the length of the tube. I've attached the tube with one pocket (v2013) and a picture showing the pattern if the surface of the tube was unwraped.

I have just inherited a project where I have been asked to supply our purchaser with a list of non-stocked fixings.
OK so far, i hear you ponder, but the designer for reasons of speed (his words) didn't add the fixings to the assmbly!
Is there any way to list all tapped hole features to an excel spread sheet so that i could then just sort and count and then be able to hilite the specific parts in inventor to find the length?
The prospect of looking at each individual part for tapped holes fills me with dread (shudder).

I want to query the depth of an extrude feature in a model from a drawing file - I've got access to the feature from the drawing file, but I'm struggling to find the correct method to query the extrude depth.
I can see I can get Faces / StartFaces / EndFaces from which I could do some evaluation on - however, StartFaces.Count is 0 (not sure why) EndFaces.Count is 1 (seems logical) and Faces.Count is 9 on a simple rectangular extrusion of depth 10mm.
In reality the extrusion could be any shape, any depth and either a set depth or through all.
Am I on the right tracks with evaluating the Faces collections? Or is there an easier way to get the depth ?

Is there a way to widen the InputlistBox dialog box used in iLogic without having to resort to a form instead? I am unable to resize it manually when it appears and don't know of any arguements in the iLogic function that can change the width.
I have attached an image which illustrates what I'm trying to achieve. See "Listbox.gif"
