AutoCAD Inventor :: Default DXF Does Not Work?
Feb 9, 2012
There is a bug in inventor 2012, where the default dxf version does not apply. It's not a huge issue, but it's quite annoying. Basically, when saving a dxf, I need to change the dxf version each time, regardless of what the default version is (which I've set to 2004). In order to import the files into my cam software (for CNC), it needs to be the Autocad 2004 DXF, so every time I need to save a dxf, I need to go to options and press finish.

I`m using Inventor 2012.When i select a new sketch from the New file drop down selection box ( new sketch picture) the XY plane is a different view to when i select a new sketch from the Part selection box (new sketch 1).
How can i make a default work plane when opening a new sketch?I would like to have the work plane identical to the new sketch picture when ever i open a new sketch file

I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part. I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.
How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?
Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?
I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.
The attached jpg shows the intersection in question. I circled it.

I'm an illustrator and only really just started using Photoshop for anything past basic colouring because I usually prefer vector lines and only just brought a tablet.
When I start a new picture in photoshop it's always the same set up for it, 1500x1000 and 150 dpi, It's a good middle ground for me and the workspace is always easily expandable. That's all fine.

So you know what system I have, I use a laptop running Windows 7 64bit, with a dual core processor and 4GB RAM. It's a very capable machine and I don't usually have a problem using LR on it.
After installing LR 3.3 over 3.2 I experienced a problem whereby the PC would not recognise which program to use for opening the lrcat catalog files. Using the Default Programs option in Control Panel didn't work as Windows wouldn't accept Lightroom as the default program and kept suggesting I open the catalog using Adobe Reader instead.
I seem to remember having an issue with the 3.2 update as well but that was simply the icon for file type being missing (showing a default unknown file type icon).
Anyway, resolved the problem but had to resort to downloading a program called Default Programs Editor (http:[url]...... to correct the problem. Am thinking next upgrade, I will uninstall LR completely before installing the update, just to be sure.

Our school rercently updated to Inventor 2014, When working starting a new assembly we seslect the standard mm ipt icon, however as soon as you create a new compont it defaults to inches, we can change the units using styles editor, but this only changes this componont when you create another part it also defaults to inches.
Can you change the setup so that it will always be in mm.

Where can I change the default gap value in the initial display of the Broken View dialog box. I use a french version and the default value is set somewhere to .250 po instead of .250 in. I want to set this value correctly in my template.

I have the default border set in all my templates but I want to add an outside border to the default border (so everything is ultimately enclosed in a large box). How can I add that to the default? I see where I can define a new border but I can't have two borders on the same drawing so how do I combine them? I want to keep the existing "smart" default border that lets me choose how many zones etc.

I have a question about creating a drawing out of a model in Inventor 2013.
After selecting Base View it opens the Drawing View GUI, with the 3 tabs: Component, Model State, and Display Options.
Being fairly new to Inventor (and trying to learn as I go) I started looking through these tabs and discovered the All Model Dimensions check box in the Display Options tab. Seeing that it automatically dimensions the part when it is brought into the paperspace, I am wondering if there is any way to change the default dimension style for this choice from string to ordinate?

Is it possible to set the default tolerance of a part via the API? If so ,How? Also, how would I ensure that those values are used in the drawing dimensions. I don't see any link to the values that I put into the model and the dimensions in the drawing.

In IV9 SP1, is there a way to set what the default weld symbol is in the IDW? Every time I place a weld symbol, it randomly defaults to something different.
As the vast majority of our welds are fillet welds, I'd like that to be the default.

I actually have two separate but related issues.
The place component button on the ribbon seems to have inconsistent behavior. When using the drop down to place components from content center or Vault, sometimes the ribbon button will be "sticky" and remember my selection for the next component and sometimes it will revert to the default place from local. Is there any way to configure Inventor to treat Place from Vault as the default behavior? Probably about 75% of the time I am placing components from Vault; having to crank through extra clicks to get to Vault is a waste of time.

I am using Inventor version 2011. I wrote this code which tells me which object defaults style is active
Public Sub ActiveObjectDefaults()
Dim oDocument As DrawingDocument
Set oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim DrgStMgr As DrawingStylesManager
Set DrgStMgr = oDocument.StylesManager
Dim ObjDfStyle As Style
Set ObjDfStyle = DrgStMgr.ActiveStandardStyle.ActiveObjectDefaults
MsgBox ObjDfStyle.Name
End Sub
Is it possible to change Active Object Defaults Style by VBA code (see picture below)?
I am trying to change Object Defaults in order to temporarily switch style which use layers with different line weights, and than switch it back. I am new to VBA so I am not sure if I am not trying to do something what is impossible.

When I try to do a make components I get this error "Could not open default template file." All the Standard.xxx files are the designated folder and named appropriately. Plus I just used this command earlier today. I did do a "rebuild all" but I'm not 100% sure the problem came directly after that.

I need to "Programatically", using Visual Studio, set the default printers paper size to either "A4" or "A3".
I have the following code that gets the required paper size ("A4" or "A3") from the registry and checks that the default printer supports "A3". If it does I want to set the paper size to "A3".
Here is my code so far.
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim SetPaperSize As String
Dim PrinterPaperSize As String
SetPaperSize = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMechTools", "Printer Paper Size", "0")
For Counter = 0 To PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Count
PrinterPaperSize = PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Item(Counter).PaperName
If PrinterPaperSize = SetPaperSize Then
' MsgBox(SetPaperSize) HERE IS WHERE I NEED THE CODE TO SET THE PAPER SIZE
Exit For
End If
Next
End
End Sub
End Class

I wanted to rename one of the default layer, "Visible," to "CUT" since that's what our plasma cutter looks for.
However, I created a copy of Visible named CUT. Now when I open a new drawing, I get the usual, "The following definitions in template Blah differ from the definitions in the style library..."
I know I could update each template, but I'd rather just delete the copied layer in the styles library. However, I don't see how. Any tips on removing my extra layer with out starting from scratch? Or how to rename a default layer?

I know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.

We have a problem whereby our Templates revert back to a Default state. This is totally random.
One operator can create a drawing with the correct template loading up, and seconds later another operator will report that an old 'Inventor' default template has loaded up. On investigation it appears all templates marked as "standard" revert back to older versions.
I have made the Templates read only, but the problem still persists.

I received a rather large assembly file from a client that was done in Pro E. I was wondering if it is possible to change the entire assembly from Default material to steel without having to go into each individual part and changing its material manually (which could take several hours) I am using INV 2012 Pro with SP1 installed.

Can you have more "Object Defaults" then there is standards?
I ask because everytime I create an additional one and don't have a standard for it to link to and I save the styles it disappears.
