AutoCAD Inventor :: File - Open Uses List Not Details In View Menu?
Aug 12, 2005
When I use File > Open or Place Component the Windows file browser opens in List mode which means that I have to use the horizontal scroll bar to browse the directory. I would like it to open in Detail mode [List and Detail are some of the view choices under the View Menu of the Windows file browser window] allowing me to browse with the vertical scroll bar. -- I think it's ergonomically eaisier.
I can make the change from the View Menu but it doesn't hold. I have checked to see that Windows 2000 is set for Details when using Windows Explorer.
Are there any settings in Inventor to force Detail mode?

Given the list of AssemblyConstraints how do I list them textually? For example
// error checking removed for brevityCComPtr<AssemblyConstraints> pConstraintList;pAssDef->get_Constraints(&pConstraintList) ; _tprintf_s (_T("The assembly has %d constraints
"),pConstraintList->Count);const int ikNum = pConstraintList->Count ;for (int iConstraint = 0 ; iConstraint < ikNum ; i++) { CComPtr<AssemblyConstraint> pConstraint; hr = pConstraintList->...
what to put here? how to print out more data here...? }How do I get each constraint from the list?

given I do a foreshortened view. Is there a way to fit the shortenings parameters to a view in a different window with a different reference file?
If not it would be a little awkward to achieve exactly the same result with a different file. As replacing references does´nt work with single view representation I´m stuck with manual- non constrained alignment of view details... which can´t be right I guess.
if there was a way to do it "right" without the need to switch to AutoCAD.

Is there a quick way to detail parts from an assembly without having to browse to a part and then search through and select a part and insert a Base View?
For instance from within SolidWorks you can insert a view of an assembly and if you need to detail any part within that assembly you can simply click/select on the part in an assembly view and right click insert view then your View Menu pops up and you are moving forward. If you have to detail several parts you can spit out their Base Views in a matter of seconds. Even if you are making a seperate sheet just for the parts it is easier to insert an assembly view off the sheet and select the parts from there insert all of your part views then delete the assembly view if you want. You can also go to the properties of each view and link the balloons to your assembly BOM.
It is very useful if you are generating drawings such as I do with most parts for the assembly being detailed on the same sheets.
So is there a quick way to get the parts detailed?

Any way to change the "View" of parts on file open? When I open an .ipt or .iam the Visual style view is always "Shaded". I want this to be "Shaded with Edges".

In a 3d model, say an ipt or iam file, it usually shows the design details in the browser.
These details tells that the way you created the sketches, features, planes, model, etc.
Are there any possibilities to remove the design details from the file?
I am not talking about the export formats (ie. STP, STL, SAT, etc) I ask this because I sometimes don't want to show details that how I created the models.

When I choose NEW from the File menu, a short list of templates appeared.
I have created more templates than shows in that list.
How can I have more of them show in the drop-down list?
Or add a folder to that list to access the extras?

I have just installed C3D 2012 and when I show the menu bar, the only choice is Express which used to be the last tool in previous versions. What happened to File - Edit - View - Insert - Format, etc in the menu bar? I need to access them.

I have AutoCAD Architecture 2010. When I launch the program it opens up without any problems. But, when I go to the menu and select "File" then "Open" to open up my CAD files nothing happens. My screen just hangs and the ribbon turns a faint white color. I can't open any of my CAD files from the program. In order to stop CAD from hanging and doing nothing, I press the ESC key and everything is back to normal. I am wondering why CAD will not let me open any of my files from the menu.

issues with parts lists generated from View representations?
This is weird but my parts list generated from View representation seem to be not accurate, when I take two assemblies that I need to create BOM for, and drop them into a new assembly, then create parts lists, its different from BOM generated from representation view that has too high numbers.

Is there a way to have the parts list filter to show only the visible parts from the view representation, especially the quantities? I thought that was what the filter is for. And if not then what is the filter used for?

I want to place a "Parts Only" BOM view of my Parts List. In the Parts List dialoge box, when view or document is selected, BOM View grays out and defaults to "Structured". This issue is new to my work station and is not an issue to the other stations. Why? How can I fix?

Is there a way to get a list of the currently open documents in VBA?
Right now to process a bunch of open drawings I simply process the active drawing and then close it, then repeat until all are closed. I'd like to be able to get a list of open documents and switch between them to process them all, which would leave them open.

Background: Our company has decided to switch from drafting in AutoCAD to Inventor (which we already use to model) and we have started looking at making our templates intuitive using iProperties, parameters, and functions to reduce manual entry of part information in turn to reduce human error. None of us have any experience coding besides a bit of LISP.
Problem: Perhaps it is a pipe dream, but one thing I would really like resolved is we have no connection between the Parts list information (specifically item number and quantity) on the assembly sheet and the part detail on another sheet. Our custom part detail title block pulls the material information and "Inventory Part Number" from custom iProperties we have set up at the part level, but we still need to reference the parts list in the other sheet and then manually enter the item number and quantity. Is there a way to use the "Inventory Part Number" property (which shows up in the parts list on a different sheet) to populate our custom block?

My customer is having trouble with the part list feature inside the Inventor 2D drawing.
For example, He has a car assembly file with 4 wheels and alot more subassemblies, then he creates a view representation which only visible for 1 wheel.
When he generates the part list in Inventor 2D drawing, he go to part list >filter setting and set to ‘’Assembly view representation’’ but the quantity for the part list is still showing as 4 as per attachment.
change the value manually inside the part list table?

My computer died and I had to re-install CS6. I had originally installed it to an external hard drive expecting that I could just hook up a new computer when the time came and everything would work as before.I contacted Adobe and got the program re-installed. Now, when I open a file, I am unable to change the view in the View Menu to 'thumbnail' because 'thumbnail' is no longer an option. How can I get that option back?

When I duplicate a view with details, and the original view has already issued revisions, the duplicated view gets these revisions too. But the view is not place on a sheet.
Still after copying I cannot delete the revisions or the view anymore, Revit says:
So what to do? Duplicate view without detailing and copy past detailing (without revisions) or is there something i am missing?

I had resized the File>Open dialog in Inventor. I had resized it so that it was quite large so I realized pretty quickly when I opened another file, that the window size had rest to its original size.
What I found was that if I export a parts list to excel, then go to File>Open, for some reason the size of my file>open dialog is cleared.

For retrieving information about attach DWG file there is a API call "db.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(true)"
Similarly is there any API call for Attach Image files

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

How to I simplify the list of file types in the Save-As file type list? I use less than six file types. I have no need for most of these. It would be nice to have my top 5 and then the ability to go off-menu if needed for others.
