Is there anyway to shut off the notification window for errors occured during update? I am swapping parts in an assembly so I know constraints will have to be repaired, but it doesn't work that I have to click on the 'accept' button everytime I move an object
View 1 RepliesI went into an assembly to change some parts and sub-assemblies and now everytime I move a part or constrain something I get this message "Errors Occurred During Update". Why is this happening?

When I try to email an image from the trial version of PSP X4 I get the following error message:
"One or more unspecified errors occurred. No message sent."
The message comes up after the initial preparation of the image is completed and the program goes to link with the email (standard MS Mail in Vista).
I've just installed Corel Draw X3 and I'm trying to run a plug-in to control my plotter. The plug-in is not in corel draw where it should be. I think the plug-in is supposed to run through visual basic. If I mouse down to visual basic in corel draw I get an error message that says "Microsoft Visual Basic errors occurred during load. So I'm thinking the problem is with the visual basic program, but it was installed in the corel draw disc. I'm running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
we've made a part from an assembly and put the stress analysis to the test. Unfortunately the analysis doesn't complete it's run, because of an error:
"An error occurred while creating the finite element mesh. The cause may be invalid geometry or features that are extremely small in comparison to the overall dimensions of the part. To fix the problem, please suppress those problematic features or use standard meshing method."
We can't change the thickness of the sheet-metal, because it's a model which comes from a supplier with a different cad-program. And supressing any features isn't possible, because it's a base-solid.
But where can we change it to the standard meshing methode? The program is recently re-installed on my computer, the settings haven't changed since it's been installed. We can't find the feature.
I am using below code to create a Rectangle 4 mm X 3 mm x 1 mm, I am using mm template but the model shows 40 mm X 30 mm x 10 mm.

I inherited this assembly from another user. In making some dimensional changes the pipe runs have now errored.Not having ever taken any training courses in T&P, my knowledge is just based on simple straight forward runs.
This on the other hand is bit more complicated. As you can see from the image I have this one run that has errors.My question is with the violation, is there anyway to pinpoint exacty what the violating member is?
I'm having a really difficult time maintaining my parameters when making changes to the part I've made in the attachment. The control parameters for this part are:
-100 mm distance between 15mm circles
-1 of the 15 mm holes
-30 mm hole
I am new to inventor but I would also like to be able to set up my constraints correctly. I'm also not sure if my sketches are ideal for this part either. I usually get an error concerning my fillets from the base to the center support beam when I try to change the 100 to 75.
I can't understand why it takes so mant mouse clicks to correct/delete mate errors:
1) Select the Red Cross
2) Select the offending mate
3) Select Next
4) Select Next
5) Edit/Delete mate
6) Finish
7) Accept any other errors
8) Repeat above.
Is there a more simplified way of edditing/deleting mate errors?

I am trying to model a large Control panel assembly using Inventor Pro 2011. It comprises of a main assembly with several adaptive sub assemblies containing the various items. (Relays assy, label assy, fixing assy etc). All works ok until I start using Levels of Detail to enable me break the assembly into smaller workable parts. I.e. Left door, right door, main panel full, main panel no doors etc. These will be used to create view reps from for my drawing views at a later date.
The problem I am having is I keep getting constraints failing on parts which are suppressed in various levels of detail. An example of this Is when I go to right door LOD and do a rebuild all, I get constraint errors from item relating to the main panel which is suppressed. I can suppress the constraint causing the error but when I return to the full panel LOD the constraint is still suppressed and the parts appear In the wrong place.
I'm using frame generator.
The design doctor indicates I have errors re splits have no effect. When I check the part I find several end conditions. Some times a red box and arrows shows up at one of the ends. I can redo an end condition with delete existing end conditions checked and it eliminates the extra end conditions. The red box and arrow stays behind. This does ot always hapen. Is there any way to delete the red box and arrow?
I have a bunch of assemblies that are acting this way and I am not sure why.
I have built the parts and built the sub-assemblies with-out errors, once everything looks good I place the subassemblies into my top level assembly.
Everything still looks good with no errors.
I do a rebuild of the top level assembly and find 20 or so errors.
Most of the errors are bogus and editing the constraint with-out changing anything removes the errors, typicaly.
On a bunch of the sub-assemblies the error showed up in the top level assembly, so I edit the part only to find the constraint is relevant but with errors so I suppress it to remove the error. Save and go back to the top level assembly only to find there is another constraint error in the same assembly that I suppressed the constraint to remove the error. This goes back and forth between top level and sub-assembly till all constraints are suppressed or deleted for the sub-assembly. Then the same thing happens to another sub-assembly.
The only solution that I have found is to delete all constraints and rebuild each sub-assembly with the same constraints that were initially used.
How do I stop this snowball effect?
I have 3 iLogic Rules that I use with my idw's,
1-SCALE - is to update scale in the title block
2- WEIGHT - is to update weight of model in title block
3- PDF - is to create a pdf version of drawing in same location as idw
all are triggered by saving the drawing.
These work fine, but sometimes when I create specific types of drawings there is errors, which is no big deal, just a prompt appears and I press ok and everything is fine.
With very little to no iLogic programming knowledge, is there a way to edit to rules so that if there is an issue, the rule knows it is ok and saves without the little prompt appearing?
Example of when errors occur for:
SCALE - sometimes I create drawings on my template just using create sketch, I don't place a base view so therefore there is no model information. which makes it hard to produce a scale. (see image, error -1)
WEIGHT - occurs during the same instance as above, only a sketch is saved on the idw. (see image error -2)
but I also have an error occur when creating a drawing from a presentation file. I create a presentation file from a specific level of detail from an assembly. and I get an error when saving . (see image error-3)
I understand the first 2 errors because there is no physical data to get this information from, so I am hoping an edit to the rules can bypass this issue. But the 3rd error doesn't make sense. It is from an actual model, but I guess the physical properties get lost from an .iam to .ipn?? or is there a setting that can be toggled to carry over model properties?

I just created and ran a migrate task using the Autodesk Task Scheduler. I selected several folders and migrated the files from Vault. When the task completed, there were several files that failed. The majority of them had "---Failed at Child" in the log.
Just to see what the problem was, I did a get latest on several of these that failed and then opened them in Inventor. They all opened just fine without any errors at all.
I am also seeing some entries like "xyz.ipt in 12345.iam -- File does not exist. When I opened the iam after the task was complete, there was no errors and it found the xyz.ipt file.
Question is, why does the task scheduler report these in the log, when there is nothing wrong with the files?
I have an assembly that is nearly completed. I am trying to change the lengths of two side rails (arrow pointing to one of them). On each end of these rails are several components that have been constrained to the rails.
When I change the length of the rails, many of the constraints show errors. I expected that all components would move with the ends of the rails as they are shortened since that is where they were constrained, but this has not happened.
The constraint recovery tool has not been useful to me.
We have just upgraded to inventor 2012 from 2009. I had a simple .ipt created from a 3/8" grade 50 sheetmetal template in an assembly, and decided that it could be 1/4" grade 50. I originally went into the original part and changed the sheet metal default to 1/4". After returning to my assemble and performing a refresh it blew away all my constraints I had on the .ipt after the thickness change. I also tried doing a save as on the ipt then changing the thickness as a new part number and performing a replace component with the same results to my constraints. I've also noticed issues losing constraints by performing simple replace component commands on similar sizes of TS but just changing length. Has something happened to our templates during the migration to the new version of inventor? I don't remember ever having this many issues in 2009 when replacing components of similar geometry with just a different length or thickness.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy I might be seeing this error? I get this as soon as I select the "Constant Speed" option. I haven't input any other values yet. I've already set the "constant speed" option on the animation timeline menu. I also only get this error when this sub-assembly is inserted into a higher level assembly. If I animate the same components in the sub-assembly file, it works fine. What am I missing? There are no parameters holding these components in place in this upper assembly either, that was the first thing I checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have attached a small Sheetmetal I-Part that is fairly representative of a lot of the work we wish to accomplish using Inventor. Stepping through the table and activating each row therein changes the model smoothly and there are no errors. But as soon as I create a flat pattern for ANY of the rows, I get the error message shown in the first of the attached JPEG images. When I choose Accept, Inventor creates the Flat Pattern, but there are no errors that I can discover (see 2nd JPEG), not even when I expand all the children.
Now that a Flat Pattern exists, activating other rows of the Table result in the error message each time. Delete the Flat Pattern and stepping through the Table returns no errors at all. The folded part is robust and the flat patterns have no interferences or obvious errors.
I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing?
The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).
I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.
Is it possible to programatically suppress dialogs or warnings and errors when I open Inventor?

Always same error: Operation doesn't produce a significant result. Redefine inputs
If Inventor is totally closed and reopened, I can modify and update parts without problems for 10-30 minutes, until first error, then it gives errors until closing again. Usually, but not always, operation preview begins to fail before first error. So it's quite difficult to reproduce.
I've tried uninstalling everything after Autodesk installation, windows updates and Firefox plugins (well, even Firefox itself) included. I've tried all hotfixes and updates that Inventor 2013 gives (NO SP1), even I've fully reinstalled Inventor. I've been using Inventor from Inventor 7 and never seen such errors.
I've attached a part from the pictures. Anyway, as errors are not always happening, maybe you won't have any problem with it.
PD: Also, a little problem is that with this Inventor version I can use the CTR+c CTRL+v to copy parts into an assembly. I can use the context menu but no shortkeys.

The attached files are two sprockets. The original part has 30 teeth. I need 34 teeth.
The MODIFIED part has one of my attempts at making 34 teeth. I have tried the following with the same error dialog box (see below):
1. Edit Sketch_6 (associated with Extrusion1) by deleting all but one of the teeth lines (2 arcs and 2 lines that make up a tooth) and making a circular pattern of 34.
2. Same circular pattern, except this time I "Close the Loop" (right-click on one of the teeth line segments > Close Loop > click on all the segments until the loop is closed).
3. Same circular pattern, except this time change the resulting patterned lines into construction lines, trace these lines with arcs and lines of my own (not construction lines), and close the loop on my own lines.
When each of the 3 attempts failed, I tried deleting Extrusion1 and making a new Extrusion feature from Sketch_6. I cannot select what I want in Sketch_6 in order to make the teeth.
I'm at the point where I'm just going to take the dimensions from the circular pattern sketch of 34 teeth, delete Extrusion1 and Sketch_6, and make my own sketch and extrusion.
For the future, I really would like to know - why is it so difficult to alter features like this? Yes, I understand that Sketch_6 is not fully constrained, and on top of this I am not privy to how it was generated in the first place (this is a part file from a vendor). But it does not strike me as something overly complicated for the Extrusion feature to recognize a change in its associated sketch. This is not the first time I have encountered something like this.
I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

Is it possible to get the COG to update its self automatically when I change an assembly / part without having to turn it on and off again? At the moment, as soon as I change a part it just goes grey and has absolutely no use (shows where the COG was, but not is). Obviously this is a bit pointless, so is there a way to make the COG automatically update without any input from me?

I have opened previous .idw's and checked for updates in styles and none are shown. The changes/updates are to the title block and revision table. New drawings open with the new template changes, but we would like those changes to any previous drawings as well.
How could I update the thumbnail in the file? The view should be isometric.
