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 :: 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 :: Batch Save Copy As PDF With A Custom Parameter Filename

May 14, 2012

An application that will let me choose a group of Drawing files (.idw) and perform "Save Copy As" to a PDF format on them. The Filename of each Drawing should be extracted from a custom Parameter I embeded in the IDW file.

I know I can use the Task Manager with a virtual PDF Printer to create these files, but then the PDF Filename will equal the IDW Filename, and I want it to be derived from the custom parameter I prepared inside the drawings.

Many parts are piling up in the workspace.For example to the library (like "normal iparts" do) or to a folder in the workspace (workspace/ custom_ ipart_ folder)?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drive IPart LENGTH Param By IAssembly Table Custom Parameter Column?

Feb 21, 2012

In a simple case I have an extrusion with some attached seals/weather stripping, all implemented as iParts having their own LENGTH parameters.

RailPart.ipt, Seal_A.ipt, Seal_B.ipt

The goal is to encapsulate these IParts within an iAssembly: RailAssy.iam, where a LENGTH parameter can be input when the iAssembly is placed, causing RailPart and Seal_A to have their length parameters set to the LENGTH provided at that time and SEAL_B having Length set by an iLogic rule to LENGTH - 5.

I've been unable to set up a Custom Parameter Column in an iAssembly table.  Is this even permitted?

sym.doMouseout = function (colorTile){
sym.$(colorTile.show());

I cannot get this to work and I am not understanding why.If I do an alert on the mouseout function for alert($(colorTile).attr("id")); I get the correct referenc to the element I want to show but it does not actually  happen

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 :: Passing A Function Name To Another Function

Nov 13, 2012

I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.

Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
 
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function

 However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Default (custom) Material For Custom Content Center Parts

Feb 21, 2013

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)?

Product Design Suite 2014
Inventor 2014, Vault 2014

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Set Custom Property In Custom Content Center Part

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".
