I have a problem with file path length BOM. I need to show in BOM only the last folder name, not the whole length of file location. At the moment i´m doing it manually and it takes lot of time to look and find each file location.
View 6 RepliesIs there some way to get the overall length of a sweep path?
We are creating a 3D sketch to run a pipe cross section along and for the final material we need to know what the LF is.

I was wondering if there was an option to set Inventor to display the full file path for the current file open ? At present I am only seeing a short description of the name of the active file - I wish to see it's full file path similar to what AutoCAD displays.

I have a standard install of Inventor 2012 SP2, but for some reason it cant seem to find the images for IBL effects. See attached Screen shot, when I go to select an item there is nothing there.
I have found the files in the "c:userspublicautodeskenviroments" folder but why Inventor cant see them?I have looked in "App options" in the "file" tab and in the project file and I cant see any pathing options that relate to the enviroments?
The default images for textures and bumpmaps are all found OK just not the IBL files? How I can set the path to these enviroment images?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a fuculty member that is prepping a document in illustrator. The image is a ruler. On the screen the paths show up as 48 inches long with 48 1 inch lines 1 inch apart. each line / path length in the w-vlaue in the inspection bar showing the correct lengths. the main backbone of the ruler is a black box that is 48" long.
When we print this at 720dpi on an Epson 9900 the Ruler prints at just under 49" we did another test with just 4pt think lines.
5 inch prints at 5.1" 10 inches just over 10" 24 inches print at 24 1/2 "
on and on. so why the values in the w-value are different when printing?
I was able to check this agains my HP laserjet in my office, and again, line lenghts versus the w-value are not the same.
I'm working in laser cut and very often I need to know how long is the path I'm going to cut with my laser machine. It is very useful to know the length (and the area) of each path while you're designingin Illustrator. I know you can already measure lines or whole objetcs, what I mean is to know the exact path lenght of the lines included in a logo, for exemple, or in a complex drawing.
How I could get this informations in Illustrator CS6?
How can I select a path by it's legnth? I am trying to clean up a photo I traced/converted to paths in AI5 or 6.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to get the file path of a selected part/assembly while inside of an assembly. I think I found something that can get it but the example is just different enough I can't figure it out and I don't have time to play with it. There also might be an easier way I couldn't find while searching.
This is the example code that seems to be able to do loads of things including get the full path, if you know what you're doing.

How to pull the path & file name of an IPT from within an IDW?
If I use this line from within an IDW:

it will simply return the file name of the corresponding IPT.
I want to be able return the path for the IPT from within the IDW as well.

How, or if it is possible to change the default file location for a tube and pipe run?
I know that you can browse out and modify the file path on your initial save but is there any way to change the default?
Example of what the default is: (assembly part number = 123456)
location for Tube and Pipe runs: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456123456AIPTube and Pipe
location for Run File: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456123456AIPTube and PipeRun01
example of what I would like the default pathing to be:
location for Tube and Pipe runs: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456
location for Run File: C:ProjectsDesign Files123456
basically I would like to remove the sub folders so all files are saved in one folder location.
My company is using inventor routed systems 2010.
Actually, I have more than 6 years experience on Catia V5 customization and vb and vb.net catia API's. What I am trying to do know is converting some applications or programs running on catia to the inventor.
The first program deal with the inventor API relating to the SweepFeatures class. So my first problem is about to find the right way to use the sketch3D for the creation of the path which is the input of the sweep method.
(oInvPartFeats.SweepFeatures.AddUsingPath(oInvProfile, oInvProfPath3D, kNewBodyOperation).
I know That is possible to create a path by using the CreatePath method when the input is SketchLines or any guide curve in the 2D Plan. Also, I tried to generate path by using the ProfilePath3D method of the sketch3D class but No way, the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures Class doesn't accept it as path Input.
So I cannot imagine that is limitation of inventor because it was possible to do it by using the seep function of the model tab in the ipart document. How to create the path object as an input of the AddUsingPath method of the SweepFeatures class.
I have a drawing and I have a field calling up the path and file name. Is their a way to limit the size of the path displayed? For example, if my drawing is C:users
ame1
ame2
ame3 4
ew5.dwg, is their a way to only show ...
ame3 4
ew5.dwg?
Is it possible to change the length of a line based on the length of an attribute?
I'd like to make the line a MINIMUM length of X" (I haven't decided how long yet--but know I'll need a minimum). But then after the user fills in the attribute, I'd like the length of the line to change to the length of the attribute plus a small amount (again, I haven't decided yet how much extra).
I was wondering if there is a way with DB's to have a line "follow" or "grow" with the content/value length of an attribute. Maybe some method of linking the attribute width to length of the line? Essentially, it would work just like turning on the underline setting when typing in mtext editor (or any program with an underline option for that matter), expect that the line could be placed anywhere, and would not have to reside directly below the text.
