I am trying to create different bend tables for different thickness material. If I have two radii that are the same for different thicknesses it gives me an error message on the second one that it is a duplicate column heading value. The values of the bend table are dependent on the thickness of the material. Why can't I have several different thicknesses with the same radii?
View 1 RepliesI have a parts list, with a column, that the description in the column heading is longer than the width of the column. I would prefer not making the column wider, so is there a way to increase the row height of the heading, and wrap the text?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to change the value of some tags in a title block on multiple drawings. I tried using Lee Macs attribute changer [URL]. It works fine but not when tags have the same name.
I then looked at this code - [URL]
Idea was to change the tag names then use Lee Macs program. It too fails when there are duplicate tag names. It changes all tags not just the one I want.
In the the title block I have 3 tags with the name "NAME" but only one will have the value I'm looking to change. If I could place an IF statement some where in the above codes (or another code altogether) to instruct that IF the tag name is "NAME" with value "Dennis (BSL)" then change either the tag name or the value to "Daniel"
Im pretty bad at this programming stuff but with so many drawings I need a easier, automated way of doing this.
Is there a command in Inventor to add values in a column in the Part list ( BOM) and to display a total value bottom like the Grand Total in Revit?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble using the beam and column calculator in Autodesk Inventor. When I choose the beam that I want to test all the dimensions are not being put in automatically.
This is happening with most types of beams that I import from the CC the angle (6X3-1/2X3/8) that I am trying to test is getting no Wx, Wy, Wk or Jk. and the I beam (W6X25) is not getting Wk and Jk.
I want to add a column to my parts list, which displays a value based on a formula.
Lets say i want to show the submerged weight of a part; So i need to create a column, which can use the information about a parts volume and mass to calculate its submerged weight.
An easy formula, but is this possible in Inventor (2012 Pro)?
I am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.
I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)
Is this possible?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are using Inventor and Vault pro 2013.
I have an iPart in which I want to change the File Name Column from "Member" to "Part Number". These columns are not the same and makes the filenames for the members different when generated.
The challenge is that I already have about 100 members generated and used in different assemblies. I want these to be replaced by the new files and be deleted.
If I change the File Name Column I will get 100 new files (ipart members) that is not used anywhere. The only way I know of to replace the 100 "old" members is to do this in Vault - one by one..
Is there any way to have duplicate attributes in a block but with different values so when I use data extraction both sets of values will be sorted in the proper columns?
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
QTY.....ID.....#...........Description
1.........12.....POSCL....POS CABINET – LEFT
1.........12.....POSWL...POS WALL - LEFT
The block is for a unit that is made up of two fixtures (a cabinet and a wall with a counter top). Our customer uses the same ID for both fixtures and treats it as one unit, whereas our order form lists both the cabinet and the wall separately for production purposes. So both of our fixtures will have the same ID, but will have different product numbers and descriptions. In order for the information to show up in the table properly, I need two instances of an ID, # and Description attribute. If I use a different name for the additional attributes, I will get two extra columns.
I have an attribute blocks and this att block has two tag values , is there a simple code for to change 1st tag values automaticly according to 2nd values ?
for example :
1st tag (50x50) - 2nd tag ( 100 ) ==> 50x50-100
if i enter 201 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 100x100
if i enter 501 valuse to 2nd tag then 1 st tag has to change as 150x510
I attached a jpg file for explain much better

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been getting this error message alot with 2013. I never got this before with previous versions. I do alot of assemblies that are made of parts that are derived from a main sketch part. The only way to remove the error is by deleting the right part out of the assembly and I can procede. I have read that it has something to do with renaming parts, but I still dont completely understand how I am getting this error. My work flow is the same.

I have been working for the last couple of hours "copying objects" into my part file. I am creating composites from surface data that exists in other part files. I now cannot save my part which I have renamed TEST.IPT for the purposes of this request. This is a common workflow for me when I am recreating a part from multiple imported CATIA files. (I know it is hard to guess withour providing the actual data.)
Problems encountered while saving the document.
Error(s) detected while writing segment PmDCSegment in database TEST.IPT
Error detected while saving object of type MIxTransactablePartition in TEST.IPT
Error detected while saving object of type MIxPartition in TEST.IPT
The attempted write operation did not succeed. Part file may be corrupt.

The fields that are erased and put back to default:

- "General" Tab >> "Update physical properties on save" is set to false and "Parts and Assemblies" is unchecked;
- "File" Tab >> "Default VBA project" is set back to default;

The Question: Can Visibility States be changed by an Attribute Value instead of the drop down arrow?
The Situation: I am building an annotative block that the user wants to change appearance (ie different hatches inside a circle) based on an attribute value (1,2 or 3). The attribute is invisible and is one of +/-40 other attributes. I can change the appearance with visibility states and the little pull-down arrow on the block or the properties menu, but the user wants to be able to change it with attribute value. Is this even possible?
