Mar 13, 2008

I have PS CS3 operating on Windows Vista Home Basic (Dell laptop). I installed CS3 about a month ago and it has worked perfectly until now. (I am NOT running the trial version).

CorelDRAW X4 :: Closing One Closes All Open Drawings

May 19, 2011

If I have more than one drawing open at a time, a not infrequent occurrence, when I close one drawing they all close. Before if I closed the drawing I had open, it would leave the other open for me to work on instead of having to re-open the whole CDR application all over again. I have deleted and re-installed several times and installed SP2

AutoCAD 2010 :: Template File Opens 2 Drawings?

Jan 24, 2013

I have the school edition of ACAD 11, and we made a template in class, and now whenever I open it from windows, it opens 2 drawings. It did this with my personal computer as well as the school computer I was on at the time. I'm guessing I changed a setting within the template? It isn't 1 drawing of the template and one fresh one like I read alot here,  both seem to be my template file in dwg.

AutoCAD LT :: 1 User / Opens Read Only And It Still Locks The Drawings

Jan 22, 2013

We have like 4 on site and 3 offsite engineers using the same files. They know that if they are opening a file for messurements and the like they should just open read only so someone else can go in and revise. WIth one user she opens the file as read-only and its still not allowing others to open it normaly. Anyone else can open read-only and a second person can go in open it regular. We have a mix of LT 12 and 13 and i think 1 full version of 12. But we tested with drawings between just two of the LT 2012 computers, and the result is the same.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Selection To Be Copied To Custom Parameter When Form Closes

Feb 10, 2012

I would like to use a multi-list parameter in a form, that isn't a problem. However I want the selection to be copied to a custom parameter when the form closes. Is there anyway to fire a rule when the form closes or to add a multi-select list to a parameter, in a form?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILOGIC Form Stays Open After Document Closes?

Jul 11, 2012

I have an assembly with a dozen or so rules and a form in it.

After selections have been made on the form, one of the rules saves the assembly as a new assembly (save as).

This closes the first assembly and opens the "saved as" assembly, BUT the form from the first assembly stays open.

It appears the first assembly gets closed so quickly the form does not close also.

I can just hit "done" button on the form to close it in new assembly, but would rather the form close automatically.

Is there code that I can add to close the form ??

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Item Number

Jan 11, 2012

In our company if we put a component in 5 different assemblies, we want that component to have the same item number no matter where it is in the parts list.   In addition we group components to have a special item number...  Meaning hardware like washer, bolts, and etc. to start with 500 series number..  Piping components would be 800 series...

Is there a way to do this in ILOGIC/VB?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Item Numbers Missing From BOM

Oct 15, 2013

There a few dodgy things goign on with my BOM. 

I imported a BOM style from another drawing that worked fine, but when I edited the names of teh columns it broke everything again. 

THere's a few thigns wrong. 

There's no item numbers. 

It says the QTY is incompatible units????

And there's teh funny table like icon with an arrow pointing to it with my parts highlighted blue. What does this mean?

Again, everything was fine until I changed the names of the columns and changing the naems back doens't fix it.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Item Number

Feb 21, 2011

When create assembly, i placed 3 parts in order: A.ipt, B.ipt, C.ipt

And ofcourse the item number will be:

A is 1

B is 2

C is 3

this number will be the same in: item colum (in BOM table), ballon (in 2D drawing).

The problem is: i want to change this number,

A will be 2

B will be 1

C will be 3   when i ballon the part in 2D

I've used "renumber" in BOM, but it just change value in "item" colum (in BOM table), not change in "ballon" (in 2D drawing).

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get BOM Of Item Leader Is Attached To

Nov 4, 2013

I have a sketchedsymbol with leaderline.  How can I get the BOM of the item this is attached to?  I don't see any referenced way to do this.  I assume it's possible because a balloon can get this info.

The full extent of what I want to do is to create a split balloon symbol.  The top portion of the balloon with hold the detail number, the botton half will hold a user prompted text entry.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get File Path Of Selected Item?

Apr 19, 2013

I'm looking to get the file path of a selected part/assembly while inside of an assembly. I think I found something that can get it but the example is just different enough I can't figure it out and I don't have time to play with it. There also might be an easier way I couldn't find while searching.

This is the example code that seems to be able to do loads of things including get the full path, if you know what you're doing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace Doesn't Keep Item Number?

Jun 4, 2012

in case of replacing a component in an assembly the present item number in (structured) BOM table is reassigned through a new one. This cause a lot of troubles in our firm, because this requires rework of item numbers after each replace action. I expected that especially in case of an replace of all occurrences, the item number is kept. Is there a setting to keep item numbers after a component was replaced?

I just wondered if can I assign a particular ITEM number to a particular part, instead of relying on order in the assembly.

I unsterstand I can overrite it in BOM but can I have it controlled from the part, so any time I instert it into an assembly, this particular number in ITEM coulmn pops up?

AutoCAD Inventor :: BOM Item Total Quantity By Subassembly

Nov 26, 2013

I would like to obtain, in a structured parts list, the total number of ITEM in the sub-assembly.

See the picture attached for the example.

I have found an iLogic rule to create an user ipropertie in each part, with the total nomber of this part in all the assemby (included all sub-assemblies).

I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the total of this part only in the sub-assembly. Is it possible with an iLogic rule or VBA ?

I was hoping to address a document within the collection by name alone but it never seems to work regardless of which name i use.

Dim oDrawing as DrawingDocument: Set oDrawing=Thisapplication.Documents.Item("TEST.idw")

or

Dim oDrawing as DrawingDocument: Set oDrawing=Thisapplication.Documents.Item("C:WorkspaceTEST.idw")

PS The document is not in the visible documents collection as i don't want the user to see me opening and closing the reference documents.

AutoCAD Inventor :: New Session Opens When Open A New Drawing?

Jan 18, 2013

Every time I open a new drawing a new Inventor session starts up and the drawing is opened in there. It's ok if I go through file-open etc in a current Inventor session but I don't want to open drawings like that all the time. If I open 5 drawings at once they start up in 5 seperate Inventor sessions! I can't seem to find an option to change this, is it an inventor problem or windows?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Item Numbers Blank In Parts List?

Feb 19, 2013

For some reason the item numbers in my parts list are blank. All the other information populates. 

I've gone to the assmebly and varified that the BOM tabs are active and there are numbers in there. 

If I inser the parts list as 'legacy' it works fine. 

I can't use the renumber function, it just makes all theh item number boxes go yellow in the parts list box,

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Numbering Skip Item 8

Jul 9, 2012

When I created a parts list this morning the list started with item 2 and skipped item 8 as shown below.

why would it do that? I know I can renumber the list, but then when I expand the subassembly to show the subassembly parts, they stay numbered 10.1, 10.2 ect. even though the subassembly has become item 8 with the renumbering. If I expand the subassembly before renumbering, I loose the indented numbering format and simply get numbers 1 to 18. True I could manually renumber all the components, but what would be the reason the parts don't come into the parts list numbered sequentially to start with?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Line Item Visibility?

Sep 13, 2012

Is there an application or document setting that will make the default state of a row in a linked excel file used in a parts list default to "off" (not visble)?

More specifically, make this apply to added rows.

We have finish schedules in excel that everyone links a parts list to whenerver they need to display a finish schedule on the idw. However, when we add rows (new finishes) to the the excel finish schedule, they get displayed on the idw parts list next time the idw updates wether they are needed or not. Our practice is to only show finishes that are used on the drawing - so frequently a large portion of the whole finish schedule needs to be set to "off" or invisible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can Drawing View Be Generated That Corresponds To An Item On BOM

Jun 27, 2012

I am making a drawing in which I have an assembly of multiple parts and one subassembly. I already have my bill of materials on the drawing also. Can I now show details of each of the parts by calling them out by their item number on the BOM? I realize that I could simply insert another base view of the individual part, but I would rather they be pulled directly by their item number on the BOM. This would be ideal so that the view could automatically be labeled "item 1.1" or "detail 1.1" instead of manually having to insert that text.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Nested IAssemblies And Multi-item Parts

Feb 3, 2012

Nesting phantom iAssemblies within another iAssembly? We are having a problem with the BOM not generating the correct multi-item parts lists. Even though the individual iAssemblies act correctly when viewing there individual BOMs, when these parts are nested inside another iAssembly and switched (Table Replace) between individual items, the BOM shows all dash numbers as the current active one.

Any unresolved issues within iAssemblies and the BOM?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Part List Item Numbering For IAssemblies

Jan 30, 2013

I have created an iAssembly which contains 4 assembly variations. I now want to create an assembly drawing for these variations.

In this case all my assembly variations will have the same assembly part number as essentially they are all the same assembly except for a few "change over parts".

I intend to have one drawing with multiple sheets. Each sheet will have one variation of the assembly on it with a BOM for that specific variation. The problem I am having though is that the drawing BOM for each variation are linked and as a result each drawing has an inconsistant item numbering (for someone in the workshop who doesnt understand the CAD package and iAssemblies - They ask the question: Why are you skipping item numbers in the BOM's)

Is there any way I can get each BOM to show the item numbers sequentially? I tried editing the drawing BOM item number but the problem is that method propogates the item number changes to all the other BOM's as well.... (It is also tedious AND in my opinion it is generally bad practice to edit the BOM at the drawing level)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Column Referenced To Assembly Item Number

Nov 23, 2012

Is it possible to make the column 'REV' automatically equal to the 'Item' column in attached BOM view? I manually added the values 1 to 5 in the REV column for example.

Maybe with some ilogic rule? I don't know if it's possible and/or where to start.

When i place a mono-part-detail on a assembly drawing i want to be able to place a leader referenced to the REV value. When this is possible there is a link between assembly item number and the mono-part leader.
