AutoCAD Inventor :: Fractional Display In 64ths
Mar 2, 2012
I'm using Inventor 2012. Is there a way to force a fractional display in 64ths? Like, I know all about changing the dimensional precision to 64ths... but even when doing that, if you have a dimension that is ".375", w/ 1/64 precision set, it will still display as "3/8". I need it to show "24/64". Because apparently we have people using rulers who don't know how to use rulers, and apparently it has been decided that it's better to have them always count out the 64ths, then to teach them about crazy, mind-bending concepts like "16ths" or "8ths"...

In older versions of IV I thought that fractional dimensions were automatically changed to decimals in the sketch mode (part modeling) and you could change it to fractional if so desired. In IV2012 they stay fractional, is there a way that I can't find, to make them convert to decimal at the global level or better always show as decimal as standard. I know I can change them at the individual level.

At our plant we try to place all the parts for an assembly on one drawing. i am now working on an assembly with most of the components being fabricated in the shop and using fractional dimensions. However there are a couple of parts that will be machined and should be dimensioned with decimals. When I select a dimension and attempt to alter it it changes the dimension style of the entire drawing. Is there a method of changing only the desired dimensions and not all of them? I could use dual dimensioning and maybe hide the undesired set but I don't know if that would work either.

Currently, when adding a parameter in the text dialog box, the parameter displays as a decimal (0.50). Is there a way to change this to display as fractional (1/2).

I am using parameters from a .ipt file to display dimensional information on a drawing file I have created (the fields colored red are the parameters it is reading). How do I get them to display as fractions instead of decimal? I want it to read 5"1/2 instead of 5.5", for instance. I have tried inputting them as fractions in the parameters dialog in the part file, but no luck, they still come out as decimal.

I'm in sketch mode and my drawing dimensions are all in decimal format. How do I change that to a fractional format?
I thought it would be in the styles editor, but when I open that up, I don't see ANY dimension style listed (see picture). I also tried right clicking the actual dimension to view the properties, but that only lets me change the decimal precision (also attached). The help file mentioned the "ANNOTATE" tab, but I don't even have that tab on my ribbon so I'm guessing it's unique to autocad?

This would be for standard, not custom cc parts. I read that you can save a cc part file as a template with the G_L parameter set as fractions, and then use it to replace the family template in cc, but that doesn't work (or I'm doing it wrong). It worked once, then stopped? I know there has to be a way of doing this.
I tried exporting values from cc as custom iProps, then tried to populate description iProp with these, but that doesn't work.

I'm sure this has been addressed in these hollowed posts but a search didn't turn it up. I have a dimstyle with primary units format set to "Fractional" and would like the inch (") marks to come in. I know i can add the inch mark as the suffix, but is there a better way? Archetectural and Engineering formats both include the inch marks and this makes sense to me. But if "fractional" format is not inches, then what would it be?

All my dimensions are coming out with the fractional portion being stacked. That has become a problem for clarity reasons and I need them to come out diagnally. Is there a way I can set them to do this automatically and not have to go back and change them via the editor?

I work in a large printing company and we get artwork from all over that has dodgy CMYK colours (quick convertions from RGB obviously). We have noticed that these colours don't rip as well as rounded CMYK colours, so we spend a lot of time cleaning them up and rounding them down...
I'd like to be able to just run a script that does this to a whole document, including the colours inside gradients. So if for example the number is .5 or below we round down, or above we round up.

I am still making some adjustments to our standard drawing template and I ran into another issue..
I want the tangent edges to be displayed automatically when I insert a drawing view rather than clicking the Display Options tab and checking the Tangent Edges box every time I make a new drawing. Is this possible? If so, how?
I tried inserting a view, checking the Tangent Edges box, then deleting my view and re-saving the template but it still went back to the default.

We just installed the Autodesk Package. AutoCAD works fine, Revit seems to work, but we are having the display drive not responding, when we try to start a sketch in Revit.

I just installed inventor. When I begin a part there is no display of the planes, only the corner indicators show up when I hover over a plane. Also, when a part is created, only the edges show up when I hover over them.

I have to continually update the views for all of my parts regardless of how many times I change my settings and save. I recently updated to 2013 FDS. I've changed the default template but still no go. The views continually revert back to some default that looks horrible. At times the backgroud display will remain but eventually reverts back to some default. I've updated the document settings, application settings, and template settings but still get the same thing.

I am experincing an issue with display quality when using broken views in Inventor 2013 drawings.
After adding the break to any view in the drawing, part geometry and draft items in all views disappear/reappear upon zooming in and out on the drawing. The entities are still there (they can be highlited and selected), but they are not displayed.
If the view is deleted, or the break removed from the view, the problem goes away.
This seems to be related to the software because both myself and a co-worker are experiencing the same thing while using competely different hardware configurations.

I had some parts that in BOM were checked as "referenced". Then at some point I changed them to "normal".
In the drawing environment they still act like reference parts even though I changed them to "normal" before created the view.
They are still see thru when I go Drawings View/Model State/Reference data/As parts. They act like they are reference parts but they are not anymore. How to make then really "normal"?

I am trying to display my dimension units in inches but I am having difficulty displaying the (") symbol after the number. e.g. 24" instead of 24 in.
I have my units set to in. and if I check the "unit string" box under Display it only shows (in) after the dimension number. I am using inventor 2013

I'm detailing an iPart. Only two dimensions need to be included in the table. One is the driving dimension and the second is a function of the driving dimension. How do I get the column for the second dimension to display a value, rather than an equation?

I'm using iLogic to make simple parts. I don't want to make duplicate sizes. When a new size is created I add it's values into a spreadsheet. This is not at table driven part. I've also created some fancy excel searches to find sizes close to the current part. Ideally I want to display this close list in Inventor via a form or popup message. My thinking is we might find a size very close to our current need and not need to create a new size.
Originally this was a table driven part. We had to change it and make the parts individuals.

Solidworks has something called display states where you can change each component in an assembly to appear differently. For example; one part shaded another line edges without hidden lines, yet another showing the hidden lines along with the line edges. Then once these are set this can be brought into a drawing.

I'm having trouble getting mass properties of an assembly to display in an .idw. I've tried it 2 diffent ways, custom properties-model "Totalmass" where I type the mass and physical properties-model "mass" where it's automatic with update.. Nothing shows, not even N/A, but in another idw (different assembly) it works. Both text boxes are saved within a sketch that is part of a template. Both idw's use the same template. If I place text on the drawing it self it works.

Anyway, I just updated to the Factory Design Suite Advanced package for 2011 which, of course, includes Inventor. I have downloaded and installed all updates, service packs and hotfixes I could find btw. What happens is I'll be working in Inventor on a solid model of ANY size (even a single part) and with absolutely no warning, the display window will freeze up and won't refresh. What's really weird though is that Inventor itself is not locked up. I can click on any of the buttons or any of the items shown in the browser as though the program's running normally. I can check the task manager and it shows Inventor to be running normally. The memory status bar in Inventor shows lots of available memory. I can even hover over the display window in the area where the view steering wheel is located and the icon will change appearance as though it's working normally. I can even save the file. If I close the file, it responds like normal and goes back to the default screen. If I try to open ANY file after that, however, the screen will not refresh or show me the file I opened, even though everything else works fine and the program isn't frozen. The only way to restore full function is to completely close and reopen Inventor (on average I have to do this about once an hour). Btw, I'm also working in a local directory stored on my hard drive, not a network.
My first inkling is that it's a graphics issue but I have played with all the display settings to no avail. I ran a diagnostic on the video card and Inventor says that I'm running an Autodesk Certified driver. All the specs are within reason I think.

Intel core i7 processor, 2.67 GHz

Windows XP Professional SP3, 32-bit, running in 3 GB mode

I have a user who's QA Toolbar is so light it is hard to see. I have tried to adjust all of his settings and it still looks washed out like it is faded back. Like it does for the inactive icons but with all of them yet lighter...

In previous versions when you hovered over an invisible axis in the browser you could see the whole line in the model. Now you just get the end points displaying as yellow circles and it can be quite difficult to see where the line is. What's the point of this change? Is there a way to get the old behaviour back?

I'm trying to change the display name of part at the part level (not an occurrence in an assembly). After the part file is saved initially I'm running an ilogic routine that assigns a "special" part number (not the same as the file name). I can get the part number into the PN iproperty easily but I can't find a way to programmatically change the display name in the top browser node. Please see attached for clarification.
