change copyright year in field text (through edit definition) in title block.
Our titleblocks have a copyright year statement that needs updating everytime a new year comes around.
Currently we select the titleblock, edit definition, edit text, and make the change. Currently reads "2012 (company B) CORPORATION"
I have created an attribute using a date field. Now I'm unable to edit it and change or review it.

I can not edit the M text & field text in title box.My system is Windows Xp Professional 2002, Inventor 11.
I tried to install Microsoft Hotfix KB918118 as I did before, but I coulden't. System massege show my system is newer than that, so I do not need it. Then I installed Hotfix for text problem caused by Microsoft Hotfix KB918118. I can edit M Text now, but still I could not edit Field Text.
I am using a symbol that includes a several text boxes. Each text box includes "prompted text" and "drawing properties". When I insert the symbol onto a drawing, the "Edit Property Fields" menu appears. In this menu, I can input my prompted field text or see the various "drawing properties".
My question is, how do I change the order that these property fields are displayed? It seems as if it depends on the order that the text boxes were created while defining the symbol definition. Is there any other way to change the display order?
I have many texts fields in my drawing. I need edit the format of all field. e.g field - 1030.60 convert to - 1.030,60 Is there any lisp doing that? I mean, select multiple field and change it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen editing the properties for the title block on each sheet of my drawing, I've become rather annoyed with the default column width of the Value column. It always opens to the same width no matter how many times I change it. Every time I edit something in the title block, I have to resize this column to see everything I'm editing.
Any way to change the default width it opens at?

I have placed a field directly into my paper space ( not in a block ) to show the current date. This is a company requirement so when the drawing is printed, it shows the date of printing. The field just shows the date that the field was inserted and doesnt update. If i replace it, i get todays date but it stays on the date.
How to get this to always show the current date?
I want to do something a little different in my math class unit on volume - I want to bring up AutoCAD 2014, and have a 3D solid on the screen. As I change/edit the object, I want the students to see the volume amount change, onscreen. Is there a way I can put in a field, preferably, that with a quick regen will show the volume of a 3D object?

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to write a field that will add or subtract one from the drawing number. I'm adding drawing join line text to drawings so I need the text on the left to read one less than the current drawing & text to the right to read one more.
in drawing 005 text would read "joins drawing 004" & "joins drawing 006"
This is the field for file name (drawing number)
%<AcVar Filename f "%fn7">%
Any way to adjust this to add or subtract one?
I'd like to have something like field text in a titleblock definition, where instead of the user manually typing the entry, they would have to choose option A or B for example.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.

I'm trying to find a macro that will insert text into a certain spot on my drawing. I want to put it on a button so that when I click the button it inserts "REVISION - 12/5/12", or whatever the current date is, into my title block.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I am trying to add a copyright year to a title block in a drawing template file used through out my company. I want to base the year off of the creation date property - I am trying to find a way to truncate this property such that only the year is displayed. Ideally, any time the creation date property is changed, the copyright year will also update.
We are currently running Inventor 2010.Normally, I would just write an iLogic rule with an event trigger, but this would require everyone to install the iLogic addin which just won't happen.
Even easier, I could make a custom iProperty and just have people manually type in the year when they start a new drawing - this will be worst case scenario as a ton of people will forget and I'll just make more work for myself.I also have VBA code which is pretty simple:
Public Sub SetYear()
Dim oDoc As Document
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim customPropSet, customPropSet2 As PropertySet
Set customPropSet2 = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")
[code]....
The issue would be getting this VBA code to trigger and to "stick" to the template file.I can just as easily write this code in VB.NET or C#, and go through the hassle of creating an add-in, but again, how would I get it to trigger and stick to the template file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2010 (I know this is my first problem, but you have to use what you're given!) and I need to use the sheet number in a calculation that will display the result in a text box. =((<SHEET NUMBER>-1)8)=1 displays a result of ((11-1)8)+1. I suspect that the sheet number is being brought in as text instead of a number. I tried adding atoi to the equation to convert the sheet number to an integer, but it did not work.Is there an alternate source for the sheet number that will return a number? Is my syntax wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create my first Title Block with attribute definition. I am having trouble finding a way to use True Text. My goal is to use Arial Black. The Attribute Definition window provides only 3 text options: Pres, Notes, and Standard. Adjusting the Width Factor does not yield a text that will replace Arial Black. Is there a way to import true text into CAD for this purpose?

Is it possible to create a field that will show only a portion of the contents within an text object? Maybe using diesel or something?
Example:
There is a text object that contains "FIRST TEST", is it possible to create a field from that object that contains the first 5 letters of the text "FIRST". If the original text was changed to "SECOND TEST" the field would be updated "SECON"
