If we as a company already have our Inventor 2011 seats installed and we now want to 'push' out the company standard application options is there a way to do this other than using a manual import?

When I click Application Options it opens up, but the window doesn't show up, eveything else in the program gets disabled and I am able to hit Esc to get out of it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at a way to edit the Application Options tab when a particular file is opened. For example, by loading file "template" it would set constraint options to a standard, set the background color of the application, etc. giving me a songle file to load my preferred settings.
For a first run example, need code such that when I open the file and run the rule, it would change the username from User to NWilson?
I'm very weak with the API code tools and structure, and I have zero VB experience. My train of thought is as follows:
Dim x = ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName
If x = User
Then ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName=NWilson

After setting the Application Options-File tab paths to our company standard and manually restarting IV the paths all revert to "%PUBLIC DOCUMENTS % default paths. Our IT guy is having the hardest time tracking down the root cause, Both users are on stand alone licenses.
1. Where does IV pick up these default file paths? Can I modify that .xml manually as a workaround?
2. How to identify the folders to look for that don't have adequate red-write permissions?
These Application Options settings change not infrequently and for reasons that I cannot be certain of:
Sketch:
Enable Heads-up Display
Edit Dimension when created
Look at sketch...on...creation
Part:
No new sketch goes to x-y plane
This may happen after when I open parts from Inventor 2011 (maybe 2010) into 2012, then create a new part. I would expect the 2012 App Options to be the master, so I don't know why a legacy part would be allowed to change those settings.

I have just installed X5 and need to know, exactly, what options are supposed to appear in the Application Dropdown. Is, for instance, Power Trace supposed to be there (in draw and photo, etc). The reason is that I cannot find it. It makes no difference if there is a document or not - it is simply not there, nor is it referred to anyplace on the page.

I've been told to create new dimensioning styles for the company to use as standards when making a drawing. One thing mentioned in particular was the inclusion of 0 inches in architectural drawings.
For example: say a part is 14 feet, 1/2 inches long. Inventor shows this: 14' - 1/2" , but they want this: 14' - 0 1/2" . They've had a problem before with the 1/2 being printed strangely, and the machinist thought it said 1 1/2.
They say that including the 0 is standard, and I need to make it happen.?
Is it possible that i add extra standard to inventor? for example API 5L or else?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a frame using 150 x 75 BS4 channel section in 2011/12 (can't remember which) however it was created before the BOM length fix (all lengths stated are not necessarily the lengths of the beams). In order to fix this I need to redraw the frame, which is fair enough, however I am unable to find the BSI standard channel section. In fact, BSI has seemed to vanish from my library completely, I can not even place a component from the BSI library.
I have had a look around the C:/Programdata/autodesk/inventor2011(or 12 or 13)/contenetcentre/libraries and have found parker, gost, DIN etc but no BSI. I have not used the frame generator/place component in 2013 yet so no idea if this was from install or not.
i am looking for a resource for models for standard parts....in this particular case a micrometer or something that i can through in an assembly to give a sense of scale.

1. How to make the STYLE and Standard Editor "NOT" Read Only. As a user, I do have the Administrator permission.
2. I have created a Style but then I do not want it anymore. How? Can I delete it.
If I insert a part with my own work planes in an assembly, I can programatically get the first 3 standard workplanes and also the non standard workplanes.
BUT if I make the part a table based iPart, I cannot find the extra non standard workplanes in the WorkPlanes of the part component definition, just the first standard three (XY YZ XZ).
(I've tried this in C++ COM and in VBA).
I'm new to the style library and how to take an existing drawing that was created on one standard, and changing it to another standard I just created. The new standard has different dimension styles, text, and layers. I've added all the styles to my style library and I've set the new standard to the active standard in both the styles and standards editor and the document settings. If I create a new view, it comes in on the new standard, but the existing views are still on the old. How to I get the existing views on the new standard?

I have some assemblies with standard components inserted from Content Center which I have published.
After some changes I do on some of them within CC, I can't refresh those that are already placed in assemblies. The window that displays the components out-of-date won't appear. Only the message precedes the appearance of this windows is shown and that's it, nothing happens.
For new Assembly I don't have this problem.
when i start with the dynamic simulation i found out that there isnt any option of revolute or prismatic or anyother standard joints.. just hv spacial joints under that session... have did almost all the updates and no use.. still remains the same...
