Every time i made dwg's i have to create all ort. views but i also need place label for each view. Is it possible with rule to pick view and then choose from list which view label it is. For ex. plan,side lt, side rt isometric etc..
View 2 RepliesEach time when I place a part in base view, have to follow few steps; go through view label, format Text, than choose type option - [Properties-Model] and its property - [Part Number], than placing dimensions. it takes long time and very repetitive, especially, when placing a hundreds of parts and I was wondering if there is an option, to set up view label; [Properties - Model ]& [Part number], as a DEFAULT. So, each time placing a part, in base view it will come up with correct label. Also, overall dimensions, can it be retrieve using parameters of the part?

View 1 Replies View RelatedQuestion regarding view labels in drawings.
I want to change the appearance of the view label to look like attached snap shot. Is this possible? I have looked through the inventor settings but cant find any options.
As a possible solution I can always create intelligent symbols which update with the drawing (like the standard view labels) but before I begin creating these I wanted to check if there was any other way?
I found some code to add labels such as "Top View" "Left" view etc. to view labels, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm OK with the default "View 1" and "Scale 1/4" that comes up on the multiview but I want the view label to say something like "Flat Pattern" and "Scale 1/4" when I do a flat pattern and same for ISO. How to accomplish that with iLogic?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm noticing that on some of my drawings that the view labels are not aligning correctly to the respective views. I have view labels set by the drawing styles to appear at the bottom center of the view by default.
The problem occurs when I go to move the view to a different area on the drawing. The view label ends up on an obscure part for the drawing. When I realign them manually, save, close and reload the drawing, the view labels still appear on obscure parts of the drawing and need to be realigned again. Only some views are doing this and I'm not sure what is causing this. It happens with (but not limited to) base, detail and section views.
FYI, I'm using Inventor Pro 2012 SP1 build 190 64-bit. I'm working from Inventor DWG (not IDW) files.
I have often problem with drawing view labels. When model is changed and I switch to the drawing then the label is moved to an random position. There is possible to little move with view, or edit label text or switch off/on label and label move back to correct position. This is very unpleasant when there s more views in drawing, is necessary to correct each label.
This happen in Inv2013 and also in Inv2014.
Is not there an possibity to minimize this?
Enclosed is example video.
I have successfully been able to rotate the drawing view. rotating the view label.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe put several parts on a single drawing sheet and ,to include the part number in the drawing view label, we must edit each view label and change the type to Properties_Model and the Property to Part Number. Is there a way to set the default of a drawing view label to include the Part Number? I tried modifying the styles to include <PART NUMBER> but it the text "<PART NUMBER>" came in instead of the value. To get the value, I had to edit the view label and hit the X with a down arrow to get the part number to show up, which is not much different than having to edit the label and change type and property. I'm looking to avoid all the view label editing as much as possible.

I'd like to customize the way our section marker terminators look. More like an architactual style drawing.
I'd also like to add the sheet number that the section is cut from to the section view label.
As far as I can tell, this propertie is not available for insertion in the view lable. Is there a way to make it available?
The need for these changes come from larger drawing sets were the section is cut on one sheet and shown on another. We'd like to link the sheet numbers in both the section marker terminator and view label.
I recently started working on Inventor 2013 and I'm trying to copy a drawing view in order to place it on another sheet. Unfortunatly I see no copy option. Am I doing sth wrong or it's due to the changes in the version?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rewrite Curtis Waguespack's ilogic code to modify drawing view labels from this post http: [URL]...
The completed label should appear like this
<Description> - Mk <Part Number>
Est Unit Mass = X kg
(Scale 1:1)
At this point I have 2 problems
1. I want to add the physical mass to the second line and would prefer to use the calculated physcial property rather than the a custom iproperty. If editing the view label, it would the property access under physcial properties.
2. I want to rewrite the code so it is selective or per view - in otherwords, I only want it to modify a single view I select once the code is run. At this point I know I need to remove the For loop but I dont have a clue as to how to make it selective.

what i am trying to do is create an iLogic rule that if your drawing view scale is set to the following ...
1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:12, 1:!6, 1:24, 1:32, 1:48, etc. on the view label for that view it will diplay ...
SCALE: 1/2" = 1'-0"
and so on for the rest for the standard scale factors.
i know it will be some sort of a loop and it needs to check all views when ran for any changes.
i have never done any coding for the drawing side of inventor yet only model coding
Is it possible to change the text height of a drawing view label through VBA?
I have tried to change it by creating a new text style manually with the text height I require and then through VBA set the view label to use that style.
The View label takes on the new style but does not change the text height.
I have tried to use 'StyleOverride FontSize=' but I have text that is multi lined and using this command converts all my text onto one line.

I am trying to get the correct total mass of a particular assy variant in a view label. I am trying to avoid using I-Assemblies due to the length of time it takes to set up and inevitable fudging of parts lists with phantom parts when things go awry. Anyway, to get around that clumbsiness, I use a combination of suppresed parts, assembly Level of detail (LOD) and View representations to switch parts on and off for various assembly variants of a theme (which works fine for me). see my "Mass of LOD's.jpg" attachment which should fully explain the parts list filtering and what I WISH to achieve. My objective is to get the correct MASS per Level of Assy and View Rep (both called the same) to be automated, correctly (as per LOD/VIEW REP), ideally, in the view label or in a leader note. I reckon I was able to do this way back in MDT? Any enhancement in Inventor 2013?

Any time I click on "Create 2D sketch" when editing a part in place in an assembly, the view moves to an isometric view. It happens as soon as I click on the button. Is there any way to stop this happening?
This does not happen when I'm editing a part (.ipt) on its own. I'm aware of the "Look at sketch plane on sketch creation" issue: this is not the same thing since it happens as soon as I click on the button, i.e. before I actually create the sketch.
I want the view to remain as it was before I click the button, to keep the things I'm looking at in view.
Is there a way that we can set the view label in the style library to show custom/user Properties?
We have set our iam/ipt templates to have some custom properties which we wish to display in the view label when the view is created however there this no way to add these properties to the label.
I find this a little strange as you can add these user Properties to the parts list in the style library? (I've added some screen caps to show what I am talking about)

1. When in style and Standard editor with default standard selected under Standard I am trying to display mass properties in my view label.Select View Preferences tab. View type Base. Next to Display select Edit View Label.When Format Text box pops up in the selection for text type I have two options.
a. Properties - Model
b. View Label Properties
2. Inside an IDW file right click on view and select edit view.When Drawing View box pops up there is the option to access Edit View Label next to View Identifier.When Format Text box pops up in the selection for text type at this point there are seven options.
a. Properties - Model
b. Properties - Drawing
c. Drawing Properties
d. Sheet Properties
e. Physical Properties - Model
f. View Label Properties
g. Sheet Metal Properties
Questions 1. Why are ther only two options in S&S Editor?
2. Can I add more options to S&S Editor?
I would like to add mass to my lablel inside certain templates and have it show when I display a views Base view label. Not ot have to maunually add it each time it is displayed.
When I reposition structure labels (in their 'dragged state'), the component <[Structure Offset Side(CU)]> does not show up while in drag mode. Sort of makes it hard to see the limits of the label if you are trying to place it in a congested area. Watch the "LT" part of the label in the GIF below.
No, it's not that big of a deal, but alignment labels with the same component do not behave this way, so I have to wonder why the structure labels do.....
If I have a series of lines on a layer, is it possible for a macro to place a label for the lengths of the lines at the center of each line in AutoCAD LT 2012? Adding a DIMLINEAR to each line is for the birds....my drawings have as many as 250-300 lines that need to be labeled with thier lengths.......

View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery now and then I'll have a sheet that will not accept placement of another model view from the sheet set manager. (There are usually two or more model views already on the layout). Every attempt will cause AutoCAD to crash. I run recover and audit and the problem persists.
Today I did something differently. I added a new layout, and successfully placed the model view on that layout (I accepted the condition that the layout was not part of a sheet set). Then I went back to the layout I really wanted the model view on and was able to place it without any problem. The significant difference I can see is that I usually have only one layout (I typically delete layouts I don't use which leaves only one layout). It seems to me that having one layout and only one layout while attempting to place a model view on it could very well be the cause of this random crash problem. I have not been able to confirm this yet but the next time I crash trying to place a model view, the first thing I will try is to add a new layout.
