AutoCAD Inventor :: Finding Inspection Dimension With VBA And Posting Them In Excel
Aug 3, 2006
I would like to write a VBA macro which is able to find all of my inspection dimensions (rounded box in Inventor 11) and write some values into an excel sheet. Now, my problem is to identify the inspection dimension. I already looked into the API Object Model from Autodesk and into "all" properties of a drawing I created but I couldn't find them. I found the dimensions in the properties but no hint of an inspection flag.

I'm adding in inspection dimensions for a PPAP submission drawing and have found that I cannot set hole and thread dimensions as inspection dimensions. I'm quite surprised to find that this option isn't available. Is it there, just hidden, or is it really not available to me?
To the top right of this picture is the inspection dimension I want and to the left the thread dimension which I can't get into this format.

I tried to match the dimensions of the already existing product with new dimension through fx parameters(using link excel sheet), while conversion all the dimensions are changed except taper value (By default it comes with inch instead of degrees) It can be changed by adding user parameter but i want it to consider from excel sheet data itself. Is it possible? For reference i have attached the snap shots

I would like to create an component inspection sheet as a second sheet on an Inventor IDW file. This is a sheet that lists all the dimensions on an engineering drawing.
Is there any way I can automatically extract / list dimensions from the enginnering drawing sheet and display them on the inspection sheet.

I have noticed that if I start a thread I can edit the posting, but if I respond I cannot edit that posting. How do you edit a response posting?

When I link in an excel document to my model all parameters in that excel gets the unit (mm).
How can I change this? For instance I want some of the parameters to be an angle.

Recently I have been trying to build table driven products and ipart tables, but when I copy a member to create a new part number, upon exiting the iassembly author I get the following message "excel installation is required for this operation. failed to launch excel". I have a fully functional version of 2010 Excel installed which has been used so it should be recognized in the windows registry. I am running Windows 8 and Autodesk Inventor 2014.

I'm dimensioning an old drawing with the real (measured) dimensions and with the drawing dimensions in brackets (using ' 1500 (<>)' to give '1500 (1505)' for example.
What I'd like is to also be able to put on the difference between the length I type in and the length in brackets - as this would let me see any really glaring errors that can't be attributed to user-error on the laser measure.So I could type in '1500 (<>) (X)' where X is the formula, and get ' 1500 (1505) (5)' back?
How to be able to run a script that could highlight any dimensions where the number is brackets and the typed number have a a difference of, say, 50.Or failing that, any way to extract all the dimension text at the end into excel so I can see the differences myself?

Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

I am looking for a 2D to 3D tool for inventor. According to some posts there is a tool at Autodesk Labs but this appears to have been discontinued.
Are there any tutorials / videos of how to achieve this goal now?

Having followed various tutorials to the letter, I am finding that, on close inspection, my stacked image appears to have small, random, out of focus blobs. No matter how many shots I use in the stack, the final results are the same. However, if I repeat the procedure, with the same images, the result is the same, but with different areas of softness.

VBA routine that will allow you to select a work plane in the browser and find all sketches that are defined by it. We do extensive skeletal modelling and our master parts consist of many sketches and sketch planes
Note, I am aware of the VBA routine that allows you to select a sketch and highlight the plane or surface that it is made off of.

I am well versed with the FEA system, however I do not see any way to get total pressure or load on a face. I know the info is there, the results let me probe points on the face, I just cannot find a way to get the total.
I have attached an image that illustrates the situation.
I will even dive into iLogic again if it is possible to achieve my goal there.

We want to ensure that a balloon callout exists for every item in the parts list (BOM) in our assembly drawings. Is there a way to easily do this?
Currently, if we have an assembly with 30 parts, we manually search for each of the 30 BOM balloon to verify that none were missed. Since the balloons are not in order, balloon 5 could be on page 2 while 6 is on page 8. This method is often time-consuming and error prone.
It probably goes without saying, but if ballons are missed, then assemblers have nothing to show them were the parts go and either come ask us or guess.

I am creating a program to write out all the flat patterns of all sheet metal parts in an assy. I save it out as dxf. What I need is to totals of all the sheet metal parts across all sub assy’s etc in other words not “Structured” but “Parts Only” in Inventor BOM terms. All works fine but the only problem is that when a sub assy is a weldment or “inseparable”, it hides the parts inside it and “Parts only” BOM don’t make the internal parts of that sub available and the totals are not correct then. I need the totals because the idea is to write that into the file name including the thickness of the part.

I created view representations in my assembly, for example a column with k-polates and base plates, the column is a FG part, so now i create drawings and place views on that drawing, what i am askign for is I want to place the name of the view representation in my view label as a paramater so in the event i change my view names in my model they update in my drawing, this is important because i can create a cross referance to my 3D DWXF file views.

I'm trying to get the value of the Category iproperty of the model on the active drawing sheet. This is not a problem in a single sheet drawing, but I'm not sure how to specifically retrieve the Referenced Document of the Active Sheet in s multi sheet drawing.
Here's what I have:
Option Explicit
Public Sub PartsListFilter()
'set reference to the drawing document
'assumes that a drawing is active
Dim oDraw As DrawingDocument
Set oDraw = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
[code]........

are there any other analysis tools available to find the minimum internal wall thickness in a part? I'm aware of the cross-section tool, but that only analyzes an area the user has already noticed. In a prismatic part with several cross-holes and features (cavities), it could be easy to miss a thin spot that could give up under internal pressure just by 'eyeballing' the part with Hidden Edges turned on.
I guess I could try the 'unground and move the part thru a sectional plane' trick, but I think it would be too haphazard, especially if the weak point is not thru a principal plane.
Is there a tool I'm missing or maybe something that has been added in newer releases? Maybe this is too much analysis to ask of a modeling package.

I have a iLogic question about finding out if a View exits..
Lets say I have a drawing that I want to read the scale of a view.. All the snippets I have found is pointing to the name of the view like "VIEW1". But if I have deleted the first view I created it will give me an error..
So, is there ant possibility to check if the "VIEW1" exits without getting an error?
