AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Registry To Set Save Location Automatically
Nov 20, 2012
In my quest to remove any unnecessary clicks I want to be able to set the default location when you press Save, Save As, Demote or 'Save and replace component'.
Default it will show up a file save as dialogue starting from my workspace. Or my last saved location. I believe this is stored in the registry and hope to Intelligent adjust these registry value's using VBA.
When diving into the registry I believe I found the right keys here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskInventorRegistryVersion17.0SystemPreferencesFileDialog
Problem 1:
- if i change them manually I don't find a difference in Inventor (If I change other things in the registry, this has an effect)
Problem 2:
how do I set them automatic using VBA? I've got the strings sFileLocation & sFileName true the rest of my code. So I would need to do something like:
Dim oRegFileSave as Regisry entryset oRegFileSave as
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskInventorRegistryVersion17.0SystemPreferencesFileDialogLastFileSaveDialogoRegFileSave = sFileLocation & "/" & sFileName
For your information, these are the registry entry's I believe I need to adjust:

Is there a way to set old versions folder to save to a different location than the working folder?
Our IT deletes these folders from our server, so I would like to have them save to my hard drive.

How do I change the default save location?
It goes to my documents, but in options I can't find anything with that path.
I want it to go to a different folder but I can't figure out how to make it do that.

We have about 25 users on Inventor working via a common network on multiple projects, we do not have vault.
In using the content center, I see one has to specify the location of instanced content center parts under options>file>>Default Content Center files. Is there no other way to get the instanced content center parts to save under the specific project file location without changing it manually each time via options>file>>etc. Is there a setting under projects?

I´m trying to create an external iLogic rule that let´s the user specify a path and saves an assembly and all it´s components into one directory. Alternatively it could be the main workspace path which doesn´t have to be specified by the user so it can be handled internally.
The background is a design template that resides on a network storage which can be configured through an iLogic Form and when the user is done configuring the assembly to it´s liking it should be saved to it´s workspace.
I was looking through the snippets but couldn´t find anything related to "save all". I have the feeling that I have to cycle through all component occurences and save them one by one.
Getting a Save As dialog box seems to be possible as I could see on Curtis Waguespack´s blog but the commands he is using are nowhere documented. For example for calling the dialog box he is using
InventorVb.Application.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)

I would like to have our newly created Content Center parts end up in a vault folder location unique to them. This will manage our conversion from the standard parts to our custom parts. Unfortunately, Inventor automatically saves these to the en-US folder. How can I set parts to automatically save to the Content Center/Roberts Standard Parts location as shown (attached) when they are inserted in an assembly.

Is there a way to change the default save location for imported components? I can't stand the default "Save in Workspace" option which creates the dreaded & useless (IMHO) "Imported Components" folder.
I know how to change it during an import by clicking the "Options..." button. But if I or another one of our users forgets to do that, then things get saved to the "Imported Components" folder. This becomes particularly annoying with library files.

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.
Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

i am wanting to use the apprentice server in another program. The apprentice server is 'normally' found in the registry under this key:
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
The problem is, that if you uninstall all things autodesk, and run a registry cleaner (or delete that key by hand), and then install only inventor view 2013 and run inventor view 2013, it will *not* create that key in the registry.
This makes it impossible to run the apprentice thru the COM mechanism, even your SDK samples will not work.
(i suspect (but havent proved), the bigger problem is on a brand new machine, install and run only inventor view 2013 , you still can't use the apprentice server.)
The 'workaround' is to install and run inventor view 2012. running inventor view 2012 will create the registry key. After that, running inventor view 2013 will happily update the key's value to the appropriate place.
(C:Program FilesAutodeskInventor View 2013BinRxApprenticeServer.dll)
so try this :
1) run regedit and delete the key and all its subkeys
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
2) optionally install inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter).
2) run inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter). exit it
3) run regedit. the key is not there still. you won't be able to run any SDK samples or get an apprentice server using the following 'basic'
Set ApprenticeServer = New ApprenticeServerComponent
i'm on windows7, x64. (iv2013 is: build 126, Release: 2013 RTM)
is a bug in 'inventor view 2013', or is that intended for some strange reason?

AND/OR a open tab recovery cache or way to extract the images that get lost during a crash of PDN.
Number two on my list behind your fantastic new layer functionality that I had been dreaming about for three years. I NEVER close PDN. The ONLY time it closes is once every week or two when the 20, 30, 50 tabs that I have open, finally overwhelm my system. I bounce back and forth so much that there is no way to continuously save them as I make changes cause it would jack up my workflow by taking up too much time.
No way around it, this is just how I work. It would be lovely if PDN was able to, similar to After Effects, popup an error box saying it was about to crash and did 'you" want to save the session. Especially, now, with 4, as while it is a super duper version upgrade, the crashes were daily, with me, and I couldn't keep losing that much data. Sophie's choice, for me. The old layer window or daily crashes.

I check online that AutoCad should have a 'grips' function, but I cannot use it because 1) I cannot find the grips and 2) I want to move the hole into an accurate position. I want to do the following simple task. Please first read the attached picture. Assume now I want to edit 3D model by changing the hole center to another location and double the radius. How I can do those? (I could not find any properties to edit)

I know this. I am aware. This is why I avoid changing the reference point as much as possible if I have profile views or anything else dependent on my alignment. I also have no problem with this dialog giving me a useful reminder.
My problem is this: if I want to make my alignment longer, and I grab the grip at the end of it and drag it to a new location, the reference point moves too! Who in their right mind would want the reference point to move when adjusting the end? Personally I wouldn't want C3D to ever move my reference point automatically. I can have some sympathy with moving it if I am grip-editing the start of the alignment, or the tangent on which the reference point resides. But I'm editing at the end of the alignment, on a different tangent. Why would you move my reference point and make me have to go back and reset it to where it was? How dare you throw your warning message at me for moving the reference point back to where it should be when you secretly moved it to a wrong location with no warning whatsoever?

Perhaps I have changed a setting inadvertently, although lately the following has been occurring when using the built in AutoCad DWG to PDF plot:
- if I plot a single sheet, I can choose the save location and it is all good
- if I go file publish and print multiple layouts at once (into the pdf), I am not given the option of where it can be saved, instead it is saved in the location the last pdf was (annoying when that is different job folders etc)
What do I need to change to fix it so I can always choose the save location?

Working in Autocad 2011, PC version.My drawing has blocks that contain (1) visibible and editable attribute. Also contain (4) invisible and constant attributes. I need to update text information in the (4) invisible attributes. Using BATTMAN seemed the easiest way to do this, but when "Sync" ing the changes, the rotation angle/placement of the Visible attribute changes globally in the drawing.
(Many of the Visible attributes location were adjusted to prevent overlapping with other drawing lines.
How can I update text values of invisible attributes without rotating/adjusting the placement of my visible one?I've tried -attedit & attredef - neither of them did what I needed.

When I edit a photo in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 and save it back to Lightroom, the photo ends up somewhere else in the folder than it's original location. This is a hassle as my folders can have hundreds of photos. Is there a setting that will place the file back to where it came from?

I am having an issue with Backburner (2013.0.0 & 2013.0.2). I recently tried to render a 2011 3ds Max File Through backburner and since then I have been getting this error:
INF Sending instructions for job '(File name)' to (computer name)
WRN Task Error for (computers name)
ERR Job '(file name)' (Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 (64-bit)) failed for Cosmo
ERR Error message: 3dsmax adapter error : Autodesk 3dsMaxDesign 15.0 reported error: Error writing to file "(out put location)".
My render farm and Backburner were working perfectly before this (using 3ds Max Design 2013 and Backburner 2013.0.0), however, ever since I tried to render out the 2011 file I am unable to render even fresh Max 2013 files through Backburner. I don't know if this is important info but the 2011 file was worked on in Max 2011 and 2013.
I rendered out the scene through 3ds max (not Backburner) and was able to save the the Jpegs to the same output location that I need to save to when rendering with Backburner (I have an external network drive so all the nodes can access the necessary data). When I change the file output to my Desktop Backburner works correctly and I do not get this error, however, I need to set the output to the network drive. I tried installing backburner 2013.0.2 and the hotfix file.
