AutoCAD Inventor :: Data Type For Second Parameter Of Retrieve Dimension Method
Jan 18, 2012
What is the data type for the second parameter of retrieve dimension method? Coz it's optional parameter.Retrieve(ViewOrSketch as Object, [DimensionToRetrieve]) as GeneralDimensionEnurator
We've tried to put the parameter name of the model as parameter but error had occured "DATA TYPE MISMATCH".Here's our
Call osheetDetail.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions.Retrieve_(oTopView,oModel.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.Item(10).Name)

Any program that allows you to trace a parameter or dimension throughout the entire data set, showing what files it's used in and maybe even gives a family tree of embeds?
Same for tracing ipt and iam files in the entire data set.

I've recently been playing with the "Retrieve Dimension" feature in IDWs to pull the model dimensions and tolerances from the IPT. I'm wondering if I am understanding the behavior correctly.
The IPT Document Settings > Default Tolerance "Use" and "Export" standard tolerance values boxes are checked.
I have standard tolerances defined for .xx and .xxx precisions. Default in the IPT is .xxx.
If I place a sketch dimension and extrude a feature, place that part in an IDW, and "Retrieve Dimension," the result is that the dimension's precision and tolerance are defined by the active IDW style.
However, if I place the sketch dimension, and then modify its precision to be something other than the IPT default, when I "Retrieve Dimension" in the IDW, it pulls the modified precision and tolerance from the IPT settings.
Is this the expected behavior? When I see the box in the IPT Default Tolerance tab that says "Export Standard Tolerance Values," I understand that to mean that the standard tolerance values in the IPT will be propagated to the IDW. Is this incorrect?
I'm using Inventor Pro 2013

I was trying to reposition a retrieved dimension in drawing. I was able to position the text, however the dimension line however still stays in its default retrieved position. how I can reposition the dimension line as well?
Dim mydim As Inventor.ObjectCollection
Dim invDimConstraints As DimensionConstraints
Dim invDimConstraint As DimensionConstraint
invDimConstraints = invPartDef.Sketches.Item("MySketch").DimensionConstraints
[Code] ........

Looking for the method to query oDrawingDims.Tolerance. to see if SetToSymmetric (.0625) is the current value for a given dimension.
oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Type results in 50377984, no matter what method is active in the dimensions.
From Here. You get the Loop to reset,
'symmetric example' Set a reference to the select set of the active document.
DimoDocAsDrawingDocumentoDoc=ThisApplication.ActiveDocument' Find all selected occurrences and add them to an ObjectCollection.DimoDrawingDimsAsDrawingDimension'Loop through all dimensionsForEachoDrawingDimsInoDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingDimensions'set Tolerance MethodoDrawingDims.Tolerance.SetToSymmetric(0.5)Next
As well as this code to reset to default if a tolerance falls with in a certain set values,
' Set a reference to the select set of the active document.DimoDocAsDrawingDocumentoDoc=ThisApplication.ActiveDocument' Find all selected occurrences and add them to an ObjectCollection.DimoDrawingDimsAsDrawingDimensionForEachoDrawingDimsInoDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingDimensions'Loop through all dimensionsIf oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Upper = ("0.15875") And oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Lower=("0")oDrawingDims.Tolerance.SetToDefaultEndIf

I set a dimension to a 2dline. The dimension is automatically added to Model Parameters. How can I find , by code, the line which length is driven by the parameter ? Or, starting from the line find the parameter which indicate its length ?
::GetDependents(), nor ::GetDrivenBy(), nor ::GetParent() gives me the answer.

I'm having problems with the parameter menu. When I don't have a user parameter linked to a dimension in the model the parameter disappears out of the parameter menu.

know if I can drive the length of a shaft based on two iMates being satisfied? We'll take a driveshaft for example. If, using iMates, I make it connect to the transmission yoke and to the axle yoke, can the Length parameter automatically be changed so it fits?

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.
Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

I have a set of sheet metal parts modeled in inventor that are produced in a wide range of sizes and several different sheet metal types.
The dimensions (length, width, flange size, etc) are driven from a spreadsheet. I would like to be able to have the user update the K Factor from the same spreadsheet by selecting a sheet metal type.
The sheet metal type and K factor are not listed in the parameters list with the other model dimensional data, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

We have created one Style, but within this Style are two Dimension types (Dual and SIngle)
When a drawing from a model is created it defaults to the Dual Option and we can only select the Single Dimensions by individually selecting the Dimension and editing to Single Dimension, which can be time consuming.
Is there a way to select the Dimension type for the whole drawing?

performance differences between:
1) Using a selction filter to get the objectIDs of a particular type, then iterating them, or
2) Iterating all modelspace objects, checking ObjectID.ObjectClass.Name for the desired type.

I am in case to model a stormwater network contain ditches with irregular sections, open channels and closed pipes in SSA. I do not have access to IDF curves for the Project area. We got a weather station in site which is giving us continuous data from last 3 months till now. At this stage we just decided to use certain Rainfall intensity (mm/hr).
We got some check points to check the turbidity. What I need to know after analyse is i.e what is the flow at these points at 6:00 pm if we experience the rainfall from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm with 20 mm/hr rainfall intensity.
So my concerns are with these available basic data, which method is suitable? and as long as we approach more valued data from in site weather station then which method will be the best. If i want to input time of concentration manually for each subbasin then how can i input TC of pipes or channels in SSA? URL....
where MATT said: "SSA does not calculate the Standard-Step method. The Rational Methods (including modified, and DeKalb) all compute the runoff to the inlet or junction. As soon as runoff enters the system, continuity and momentum calculations take over. SInce you are using Steady State Qin = Qout, so no routing occurs on pipes."
how do i understand the flow in certain points i.e 2 hrs after the rainfall is finished if I can not define TC for pipes or channels?

I have an elevation drawing of a door that I am going to make parametric so it will update if I change things like top rail width, or stile width.
Along with the door elevation, I also have section drawings of that door. The sections are not parametric, just standard blocks and polylines.
Now, what I'm wanting to know is can I somehow link a value from the parametric block to the value of a dimension on the section drawings so that if I were to stretch the top rail in the section from 4 5/8" to 5", the top rail on the elevation would change with it?

It works fine, however when i open obviously or plot through sheet set manager specifically and someone is in the excel file i get the read only message and have to click the box in excel to either read only or notify. How can i run plots and not have to check that box?

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?

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?

I have a family, with three nested families: A, B and C.
Either A or B can be picked through a "Family Type" parameter. Family C is locked to a reference plane, which is defined by a dimensional parameter called "Offset." Is there a way to have the value of "Offset" change based on whether A or B is loaded? Not sure how to use the "Family Type" dorp-down parameter in/with a formula to do so.

I am creating a family for a mobile shelf assembly. While an obvious way to create it would be to use an array, because the client needs to be able to tag each shelf unit separately, that can't be done. The client does, however, have a limit of 10 banks maximum, so I've created ten banks in hte family that are controlled by visibility parameters.
Each of the banks can be a different type of shelf (the shelf units are nested families) but they are always of the same overall length and width in any one run.
Here's my problem, Everything flexes correctly as long as the depth of the units stays the same as they were when the family type parameters were assigned to the shelf families as labels. When you try to create a new Type using a wider shelf unit, you get errors.
Without the Family Type parameters assigned as labels, all of the reference planes meant to drive the location of the shelves flex correctly.
I'm using Revit 2013.

The Developers Guide explains how to create e.g. shared String parameter and import them into the project.
I actually want to create a parameter which has a fixed set of possible values, which is normally referred to as enumeration type in programming languages. The user shall be able to choose one literal from a combo box in the Properties view.
PS I don't have the requirement that it is a shared parameter, it can also be "only" a project parameter, but i didn't found out how to create these.
