AutoCAD Inventor :: Frame Creator / Member Unique Names?
Feb 17, 2012
I have created a frame using the frame creator with all the individual members listed in the frature manager. When I check this into the vault it goes in fine.
When I create a second frame (seperate frame file) it uses one or two of the same fram types as the first frame. The problem comes when I go to check this into the vault it says the member already exists.
I have been told and I am seeing it that the frame creator always starts with "001" and numbers downward in creating the member names. This creates a problem in the vault because of the duplicate file factor.
What I ended up doing was calling up that particular member and doing a file save as then replacing it in the assembly. Then it would check in fine.
Is this the only work around or is there a setting somewhere that allows unique names for these frame members.

Frame members that are trimmed to work planes in the skeleton won't update when these planes are moved. This is not how it is supposed to work, right?

I have created a user parameter in a assembly, then creating a member with FG i use that parameter as member offset. The same with other members.
Changing from Parameters that parameter no update happen, I have tried rebuild all, refresh..no working. The only thing that works, is to use the "change" command , select my member(s) , change nothing, than ok.
Then it update.
Is it a software limit? A bug? An error in the workflow?

is there a way to reconnect a frame member to a other sketch line? Lets say i've altered my sketch and delete a line to which a member was referenced. I get the error when rebuild the assembly.
When click change and select the said member i cannot select a new sketch line..

I have a user that is creating frame work using custom members copied from the standard. We have edited the frame members to use the company's part numbers and description and everything works fine. The Parts List populates with the correct part number / stock number and description just fine. I have customized the Part List style to display the stock number if one is available so that it shows correctly.
The problem comes when changing the size of a frame member out. Frame Generator creates a new file for that member and the Parts List displays the correct Stock number but the description still shows the original size's description not the one associated to the new member's size.
I haven't tried it but I am sure that deleting the Parts List and reinserting might fix the problem but there are other lines in the Parts List that have Static overrides and the user would have to redo all that. Why does the PN/Stock Number update correctly but the Description does not?

I'm with a problem here, that when i try to change a material from a frame member, i got the error below:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred while attempting to change frame member(s).
[WARNING] Problems occurred during changing Frame Member(s)
[ERROR] A change could not be completed. The reason for the failure is unknown. Please retry.
The structure that i'm trying to change, was created in IV 2012 SP1, and now I'm editing it in IV 2013.
All the pieces of this project were converted to the new version, and the only big difference from 2012 in this case i think that is the materials library, that I created a new one and set on project as default.
The strange, is that if I enter frame by frame and go to iProperties>Physicals, there i can change the material normally (but with a big wate of time ofc).

I have created a few new structural parts that I am in the process of publishing to the content center.
I got one of them in and have it working very well except for one item. If I place this structural piece into an assembly as a stand alone part just selecting the length and the material as the key inputs, it shows the proper length in the part number and the description just fine. If I insert this same structural piece in a skeleton using the frame generator, then the length that shows up in the description is the default one that the part was originally created to. How do I get the length to show up in the frame BOM correctly when parts are created using the frame generator?
This works using the structural members out of the box.

I created a template part, turned it into an I-part and published it successfully as a Frame Member.
The custom member was published into a custom library that is read/write. I was forced to create this library in order to publish the part.
When I go to use the custom profile with the frame generator, I am able to find the custom member in the dialog but when the frame generator tries to generate the part, I get this error message:
[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred during inserting Frame Member(s)
[WARNING] Insertion of frame member(s) failed
[ERROR] A frame member could not be created. The template file for Unnamed GIRT-2 could not be located in the Content Center library.

During some discussion with other uses of Inventor I was ask if I knew about a problem relating to Changing a member size in Frame Generator and the iProperties maintain the old members properties.
The basic problem is as follows:-You start with a simple frame, create all of the members save and then added to a drawing. The members frame come from the content centre which have been copied into a Custom Library to enable addition parameters to be added along with addition iproperties being automated such as DESCRIPTION.
Once the frame and associated members have been created and then save, if a user wants to change the size of the member inventor has to create a new part file and then inserts into the frame generator frame. However, I have found that if you review the iProperties of the new file the DESCRIPTION is the same as the one that was replace, however it was strange to see that the STOCKNUMBER and PART NUMBER was updated correctly. It seems to be only a problem with the DESCRIPTION property.

In Inventor 2013 it was easily to switch in a drawing view between different iPart members. Through Edit view => Tab Model State and then it was possible to switch between different iPart members. So it was easy to make a copy in the Vault from only the dwg (from a iPart member) and then change the iPart member. Now in Inventor 2014 it is not possible anymore.

For a large project our organization is busy with, we are going to need to work with several sizes of icons, and the icons' names will need to be generated programatically by the back-end of our our system.
The icons are going to be in these sizes:
512 x 512256 x 256128 x 12864 x 6432 x 3224 x 2416 x 16
I want to create a resize action will generate icons in the proper size with unique names.
For example:
images/icon-512-size-king.png
images/icon-256-size-king.png
images/icon-128-size-king.png
images/icon-64-size-king.png
images/icon-32-size-king.png
images/icon-24-size-king.png
images/icon-16-size-king.png
The resizing part is simple - it's the naming that I'm not sure about!

One of my frustrations with Inventor is the difficulty of constraining a sketch so that the solution is unique. It is an issue when alternate solutions appear while making adjustments.
As a simple example, suppose we have an adaptive work point. This point can be solved to be at a distance L from the origin, but could be in any direction meaning the part can rotate freely.
Instead of a work point, consider using an adaptive sketch point constrained vertically from the origin. When solved at a distance L from the origin, the part can rotate around the vertical axis (as one might expect when fixing two points), but it can also be flipped with the sketch point located in either the positive or negative vertical direction. Is there a way to ensure a solution is only found in the positive vertical direction?

Any macro to do it automatically....
i still have the change occurrence layer based on material macro but cant seem to find the change layer based on part...
yes we are still using autocad in conjunction with inventor, and on a side note have been quite enjoying the new parameters, dynamic blocks, easy scripts and customization features in autocad.

In C++ can I use this function, using the key index Member string to select which row in the factory I want to insert?
In the docs all I see is Use an iPartTableRow (but no examples in C++).
Use an index, this works but I need to know the index before using it.Use a set of parameters in a string (but "[Member=142314]" does not seem to work. Can I not simple use a string with the appropriate member?

I'm having some problems giving certain parts in my assembly a unique file name. Im reorganizing all of my projects in a
- content center
- designs
- libraries
way, where my projects are under designs and commonly used parts under libraries.
Now i have something like a pump. I can derrive this assembly into a solid and put it in the content center, or keep the assembly and put it in the libaries folder. since this is a part i use in multiple projects.
Now my problem is that this pump has a different name in every project, and a library part doesn't allow me to change this name. Say standard name is "centrifugal pump" while the name in project 1 would be P101, while in project 2 it has to be named P501 and so on in order to match with the flowcharts.
Is my only option here creating a solid out of these components and putting it all in my content center ( leaving my libraries folder totally empty ), adding it as a custom part afterwards ( so i can rename it ). I rather have it in my library folder, since this will keep my design folder organized without hundreds of duplicates of this pump, using different names. Besides i rather have it as an assembly so i can assign the connecting tubes of the pump to different sub assemblies of piping.
Different example, a butterfly valve excists out of 3 parts. the valve itself, and 2 connecting tubes. possible to dissemble. all 3 parts need to have the same file naming say XV900. 1 side of the valve needs to be assigned to pipe-01 while the other side of the valve needs to be assigned to pipe-02. Content center doesn't allow me to split files, but allows me to use unique file names. A library party allows me to split files ( if not read only ) but doesn't allow me to change names.

I am trying to come up with an automatic method to add a new row to my i assembly table and populate that row based on values entered by the user (assuming that combination of values doesn't already exist... ). Basically, I wish to build my i assembly table on demand over long term by user input via a form that calls an ilogic rule.

I am looking for broad principles as opposed to blow by blow information. I am planning to use inventor for the design of model aircraft. My problem at present is a lack of understanding of the possible ways in which the following can be achieved.
The sides of the fuselage are sheet material ( balsa or ply or a combination ) which need to be available in a 2D format so they can be converted into DXF files that can then be sent to my laser cutting machine.
I also need to model the fuselage as a solids model in inventor. How does on go about modelling something like this? The curvature is going to be single as opposed to double.
Ideally I woul like a command that enables me to take a 2D sketch ( a copy of which is converted to DXF ) and to bend it around formers to form the fuselage shape. That would be similar to the process that is used in the actual construction but I dont think that there is one as yet.

I'm having trouble with iParts. This specific part is for a component that has many dimensions that vary from size to size, for a total of 23 configurations, 9 inch, and 14 metric. I did not have this problem until today... when trying to work with the iAssembly that uses two iParts (by means of selecting which Part Factory Member is used in each Assembly Factory Member).
I know that if the files are read-only, the files will fail to generate. I have checked this, was still having trouble, and so I deleted the files. The problem persists.
All the members compute successfully and there are no empty cells when editing the table. The filenames are just letters/numbers and dashes, no spaces.
The assemblies and parts had been generated and checked into vault, but only now problems exist, only for the newer parts, which happen to be the metric parts.
