AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawings Not Update With IPart Usage

Sep 10, 2013

I made a drawing, inserted a base view and selected an ipart member, in the Model State tab of the Drawing View dialog box.

Now i made a change in the model, one that is enabbled in the ipart member, one that i should see in the drawing, but i don't see the change. the drawing represents the part as i inserted it at first.

Now i found a workaround, i edited the view, chose the active member, which is the previosly selected member, now it updated, but the center lines became pink. now i changed back to the firstly selected member and it updated, but i am sure there is a better way

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart Failing To Update?

Feb 1, 2012

the newest model I have made I have run into some troubles. When I switch between one member and another most parameters update correctly but the part is still requiring an update before the finished part is created.

When the feature small sheds is enabled the pattern isn't working correctly.It seems as though the height that controls the sheds is not updating during the member change process and is causing the pattern to be the wrong length.

I have set up a form to add my parameters as there are a large number in the ipart table.I can't generate my member files as they show the member before it is updated and is wrong.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA And IPart Update Prompt?

Jul 12, 2011

I have a macro that changes the active material for each member of an ipart (this is done when i am editing the iparts).

My problem is that it constantly prompts that the table differs from the part and do I want to copy the information back to the table.

I want to stop this prompt and have it automatically set to "Yes". I can use the silent operation option but it defaults to "No" for some reason which makes the macro go to the next member without setting the material back into the table.

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 :: IPart Exporting Reference Parameters / Driven Dimensions Update All?

Jun 24, 2013

I have some manufacturing dimensions that are an end result of my design so they are driven dimensions at the end of my modeling history and pulled into the ipart table.  If I make some design changes I need these dimensions to update too.  The problem is they do not automatically update and require a manual activation of each child memeber for the dimension to update.

The dreaded "The Values in the active row don't match the document's current values. do you wish to update the table before continuing"  Click, enter, Click, enter, Click, enter.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawings Will Not Update With Part

Oct 3, 2011

I am having some issues concerning updating drawings. When a part (.IPT) is placed in a drawing, everything is fine (ie. the views represented in the drawing are up-to-date). Yet, when I make a change to the part (something as small as a dimensional change) it does not translate through to the drawing. This is also the case for iProperties.

I have been playing around for a while now, but have had no luck. The part is also an iPart, but this shouldn't matter.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update Attributed Blocks In Drawings

Nov 15, 2011

I have recently been forced more to use customer supplied drawings in inventor that contain attributed AutoCAD blocks, I have been looking for a way to automate filling out these and add some consistency since they sometime ask for the same thing to be updated in several places. I have been using the "dwgblk.GetPromptTextValues(sTags, sAttr)" to get the values of these attributes but I don't know how to update the value from a property back into the attribute.

I have even thought about doing this in iLogic so that it would be easy to change from customer to customer.

Is it possible to set this up without using xrefs, as i have hundreds of blocks.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: One Master Description Key That Will Update In All Drawings

Dec 23, 2013

I need one desc key that will update in all drawings. I am just getting started and I have a drawing template where for the most part I keep the desc key updated. I am just starting a new project and will make revisions and additions as I go to the desc key. If I make the change in my working drawing it doesn't update 'universally' just in that one drawing. Is there a way to have one 'master' that updates as you go? I have tried to drag and drop to keep one or the other up to date but that doesn't work. Also, there will eventually be 2 additional users so how will that work if we all can't use the same master description key?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ilogic Form Picture Usage?

May 6, 2013

i want to use pictures with my forms and was wondering if i can use them like the way i showed in attached image.

the CaseA image is the one i can currently use and CaseB is the way i want to use. My reason to do this is, i have alot of parameters to change and having both the picture and a menu below/above takes alot of space which also seems redundant.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Update Several Similar Drawings Through BAT File

Feb 7, 2013

i am working on writing a lisp to update several similar drawings through a .bat file.  One of the things i would like to do is to automatically increase the revision number by one.  I have figured out everything except how to select the text.  Looking at the database, the coordinates for the revision number are (10 15.2908 0.0295 0.0).  However, (setq a (ssget "x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(10 15.2908 0.0295 0.0)))) returns nil. 

If each drawing's revision number is not in the exact same location, is it possible to select by a range of coordinates?  Using (getpoint), the range is from (15.5 0.0 0.0) to (15.1805 0.1409 0.0).

AutoCAD Inventor :: Material Favorites Does Not Update When Update Materials

Dec 9, 2013

I made a change to my materials library.  I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material.  I then saved this back to my library.

Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library.  So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).

This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle.  It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).

Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....

The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in.  That is a bunch of work.  The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it.  The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.

I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

Use an index, this works but I need to know the index before using it.Use a set of parameters in a string (but "[Member=142314]" does not seem to work. Can I not simple use a string with the appropriate member?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IPart Tables In Assemblies?

Nov 2, 2012

I'm trying to take multiple parts of the same type and make them into one .ipt I began doing this and It seemed to be working fine. When I put those grouped .ipts into an .iam, Inventor creates a Subfolder of each .ipt and fills it with each part from that group and now those created ipts are unique unlinked parts (unlinked to the group ipt). I'm trying to reduce our file count and link our .ipts and .idws/.dwgs so this Inventor file creator results in the opposite of what I'm looking for. My question now is is there any way to modify this process  to work the way I need it to or is there a completely different way that I should be doing this?
