AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing View Won't Update?

Jan 3, 2012

I've got a macro which is creating .ipt and .idw files from templates. I'm once created I'm replacing the reference in the .idw to refer to the newly created .ipt file. The problem is that the drawing view isn't updating... I've make the .ipt file dirty then udpate the drawing, but that hasn't worked. I've tried just using the drawingdocument.update function, but that hasn't worked either...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Projected Drawing View Doesn't Show / Design View Rep Don't Update

Sep 27, 2013

After upgrading to Inventor 2014 we notice that the graphics do not work properly, and that the overall performance in drawings and modelling bad compared to 2013. Then we installed SP1 and now drawing views are disappearing, however when we select "shaded" view the view reappears and works perfectly..

Any workaround regarding disappearing views?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing View Fails To Update

Jun 6, 2011

When I place an Inventor 2012 part into an AutoCAD 2012 layout, the drawing view fails to update after a change is made to the Inventor file. When I click "Update View" in AutoCAD the command line says, "1 view(s) is up to date.", but the drawing does not change. Both the AutoCAD drawing and the Inventor part file are located on a server drive which is mapped as a network drive. AutoCAD displays the correct path in the drawing view properties. Running Windows 7 x64.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Style Update (or Style Update Check) Upon Open Of A Drawing?

Nov 21, 2013

I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing? 

The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).

I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.

AutoCAD Inventor :: View Label In Base View / Drawing?

Nov 25, 2008

Each 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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2012 - IDW View Constant Update?

Jul 25, 2013

We have views of a large system that will constantly stay in a "updating" mode.

However you can place another base view of the same system from a different perspective and that view will solve out.

In the attached image the view on the left will not finish updating while the view on the right solve out rather quickly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Forcing Redraw / View Update?

Jan 27, 2011

my Addin changes the coordinate systems of some occurrences in a while(running) - loop. After each iteration, i want to update the 3D-View in Inventor to show the calculated changes. For this, i call the Update Method of the current View (ActiveView property of Application).

Unfortunately, the redraw does not happen unless i keep moving the mouse over the window. Is there another method / way to achieve the desired result (forced redrawing for smooth animations)? The Update method of the Document does not seem to work, either.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Won't Update

Oct 27, 2009

I am using Inventor Pro 2010.I have a model and I am driving the dimensions from EXCEL. The model updates nicely when I change dimensions but the drawing (idw) does nothing. In the browser instead of the usual tree in the view there is this red lightning bolt and under them is a big plus (+) sign and the words Solid.... after it.I was assuming that the lightning bolt meant something needed updating, but I can't find how this is done.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Idw Drawing Views Always Want To Update

Dec 5, 2002

Why is it that individual views in an .idw always need to be updated? I will highlight a view, the thunderbolt icon lights up, I choose to update it, the view in the browser turns red and then the view up dates. if I highlight the view again it tells me the view needs to be updated again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing (IDW) Will Not Update Upon IPT Change

Oct 1, 2013

I am having issues with this. I create the part. I create the drawing. I add the part to the drawing. I make a modification to the part and then I select update(Lighting bolt) and NOTHING HAPPENS. Even when I did the local update.

I will review the rest of the thread tomorrow as I am leaving Inventor for today but this is bugging me!!

I can only see the change when I close the drawing and re-open it as of now.

note: When I do hit the update button it does shown the change for a split second then goes back to its previous state. Why does it not stay the new updated version? Inventor 2012

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update Physical Properties From Drawing?

Aug 30, 2011

how I can update the physical properties for a part or assembly, from a drawing? My drawing template is showing the total weight for the current part/assembly, and I would love if Inventor could update this using iLogic, so I don't get the "N/A" value all the time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Open A Part From A Drawing To See Update

Using the 'Run Other' rule I can run a rule to switch holes on & off in a part. The rule is in the part & the run other rule in the drawing. The drawing will only update once the part is open. I would like to see the part open when the rule is ran from the drawing, how can this be done?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update And Save Assembly Through ILogic In Drawing?

Jul 10, 2013

as a part of automating manufacturing drawings, am trying to include ilogic code in the drawing , that would accept values from the user and store it as "user parameters" and make corresponding changes in the inventor drawing file.So, to replicate my issue on a smaller scale, i had created 2 parts and created an assembly out of these 2 parts. I used the assembly in my drawing.

In the Drawing i created a user parameter .. say "external_param". I am opening the drawing and changing the value of the user parameter through the (Fx) parameter table. 

doc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf external_param >= 50 And external_param <= 99 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 15 'change the length of the blockParameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 3 'change the number of holes in the blockElseIf external_param >= 100 And external_param <= 199 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 40Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 5ElseIf external_param >= 200 And external_param <= 299 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 80Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 6ElseIf external_param >= 300 And external_param <= 399 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 160Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 9End IfRuleParametersOutput()iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True'InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
 
As you can see, i have commented out InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() , im not quite sure what would accomplish the update and save of the assembly document in the background (without prompting for a save/update). I have also tried thisDoc.Save and thisdoc.update. Using these 2 commands along with the InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() or iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone caused Inventor to Crash.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Open And Update Drawing From Assembly Via ILogic

Nov 12, 2012

The right click context menu on the top level assembly (on the model tree in Inventor) has the option of 'Open Drawing'.

Is there a way to do that via iLogic? Unfortunately I can't figure it out if there is. I would like to open and update the relevant drawing.

Also have tried it the other way around, that is to run my rues in the assembly from the drawing since the drawing is the parent. But I am not sure how to reference the assembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update Table In Drawing - IPart Active Row

Feb 27, 2013

I have two tables on a drawing one showing a parts list the other changes to dimensions.

The table to show the dimension changes is a configuration table pointing to an ipart.

iLogic is used to update the ipart but you have to right click to update the Active Member in the ipart to see the drawing update.

Is there a way to automate the 'update active member'? (on the ipart table - this does update the drawing)

I just have the one row in the table, it's purpose was to pass the values onto the drawing (as the part resizes I didn't want the dimensions moving so opted to tabulate them) - hoping they would update!

or

Is there a way to have a table update parametrically i.e. I've tried .csv as a source to the table but can't force an update. This way I could scrap the ipart & just import the values to a table.

The table also includes some txt comments which change with the ipart properties.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Defer Update Of Drawing AFTER Assembly Has Been Revised?

Jun 27, 2013

Sometimes I need to revise an assembly/part and I forget to open the drawing first and check a few things before I do. Inevitably my B-Hole employees (that's right, you know who you are if you are reading this! ) don't constrain their section lines and I end up losing a whole bunch of annotations that I then need to put back.

Is there a way to defer the updates to a drawing outside of the document settings for that drawing? I need to open this up, tie down their section lines, attach the detail cuts, etc. then get it to update.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update Drawing Properties From Model IProperties Automatically

Jul 1, 2011

I like to keep the properties of my drawing the same as those of my model. Currently I must remember to hit the "updat copied properties" button in the drawing to discard any old drawing properties and replace them with the properties from the model.

Is there any way to automate this task (perhaps on saving the drawing?) I presume an iLogic rule could be created in the drawing template, just not sure how to go about it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom IProperties Not Updating In Drawing When Update Assembly Model?

Nov 19, 2012

I'm using Inventor 2011 and when I go to change parameters using iLogic in an assembly model, (sometimes it is a component suppression, other times it is an iPart component change) it won't update the associated drawing file. I need to go into the BOM on the drawing and renumber the balloons, or change something else in order for the custom iProperties to update in the drawing template. If I just change the iPart component, then the BOM doesn't need to update making the renumbering of balloons redundant.

I'm using iLogic to update all of the iProperties and component references, then reattach balloons. What I would like to do is automatically update the custom iProperties drawing template fields, and renumber the drawing BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Pin View In Drawing

May 9, 2013

I'm working on a Isometric drawing and im trying to dimension the view. I keep the original view there and cut another of the same view and place that cut view over the original, so I have something to snap to while dimensioning.

Every time i go to place the cut view over the original and i always grab the wrong view and move it and I am wondering if there is a way to pin the original view in place permanently?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Orient Drawing View By Surface

Oct 18, 2011

I have an assembly that is derived from a solid body part. The assembly can rotate in the part hence the .iam that was created using Make Components also rotates. The trouble is I need to make a template drawing showing the assembly in the same position all the time.

Is there a way to make a base view always look at a surface and follow that surface so that the view on the drawing always looks the same?

For example: If I had a dice and I create a base view of the two dots side of the die. If I roll the die I still want to see in the base view the two dots side of the die in the same orientation.
