AutoCAD Inventor :: GIS Data Integration
Oct 16, 2011
I am a stand alone user and my current task needs a sea bed surface for placing our plants in my Inventor model so that the boss can have a 'realistic view on the site. Nothing fancy, just a surface. Since I am a mechanical draftsman and have no previous experience with GIS data, so I turned to my local software supplier. It went all “OK’ until the last step: bringing the surface file (see 59905_1) to Inventor (see 59905_5). It seems the importing is successful, just no surface shown. Here is what we have done:
Use Autocad civil 3d to create a surface from GIS data.Save the surface file to Autocad 2007 format.Import it to inventor 2012. I have to say the site area is about 1000m x 200m in measurement.

When placing a new part/assy into an assy, the current assy view rep is assigned to the inserted part view rep where the name convention matches,
But, where other view reps may be present, the place part/assy event does not match up and auto assign other elligable view reps.

What is the possibility to use LibreOffice or OpenOffice with AutoCAD instead of MSOffice?
I wrote a lisp to import data from Libreoffice spread sheet to ACAD but I could not update this spread sheet by outputs from ACAD.

I know that the xmls are very important in the design data folder and we shouldn't mess with them.What about the rest of the folders. I have around 11 folders. GOST, AEC Exchange, AIT, Cable & Harness, Bend Tables, DWG-DXF etc...
I need to know if any of these folders can be deleted? We don't use AEC Exchange, Cable Harness, BIm Exchange, Design Accelerator, Tube & Pipe.
What about the Optimisation, DXF-DWG. I am not sure if I am using them unknowingly.Does this could be deleted? Is there a procedure to get rid of them.

I have a set of RAW Presets that I am trying to get to work in my RAW window... They are all in there and I have followed all the instructions that came with the download, but when I go to apply them to an image I keep getting these pop-up blocks!
First, it says to change to '2012' so I do that, and then when I click them again under the 2012 setting it says to go back to using '2010'!!

I want to incorporate a rigged character along with a rigged bike, so that when the bike runs or jumps through a rough terrain, the character will react to it dynamically. The character should be able to move as per the bike's movement, as would happen in real life.The character should react to the suspension of the bike.
Please check out the video for reference.

I was wondering whether one could proceed as follow. Say, you want to make a vector mask of a given image, part of a photograph. One could of course use the built-in vector features of Photoshop (pen tool, vector shapes tool) to create the vector outlines used for the mask. But, it is possible to export the image in Illustrator, use all of the Illustrator vector tools to create the vector outline, and then import those vector outlines back into Photoshop, at the *exact* same place as they were in Illustrator (relative to the image being traced/masked).
I know how to go back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop, but I don't know how to ensure that the vector paths (from Illustrator) and image (from Photoshop) keep their relative positions between the programs.

I downloaded the trial of PSPx4 and sadly enough the trial does not include Nik's Color Efex Pro 3 (CEP3). What I would like to see, is if the CEP3 window actually fills the screen, or if it is smaller and the user unable to "maximize" it.

I have a master shape file that contains parcel ID, owner, tax info., etc. I have another file ( access 2003 -open to better file format suggestions-) which contains parcel ID and a "yes" or " no" entry for whether or not the parcel needs a new water meter. All I want to do is add the water meter information into the other shape file. This would create one shape file with one table with all the information that I need.
Ultimately I will use the information to do a map query and find out spatially where i need new water meters.
Right now i have the master shape file connected though the “Connect to Data” feature. I also have the new data added to the drawing though the Data sources------>attach under the “Map Explorer” Task pane. I attached access file (ver. 2003 .mdb) which has two columns “Parcel ID” and “Meter”.
I right click on the shape file under the display manager and select”Create a Join;” however my water meter table is not listed as an option. Will this not work?
Plan B - I tried to Create and connect to the access file as an ODBC connection. Followed this guy’s directions to a T [URL]. But when i populate my table under the fdo connection the column headings exist ( “parcel ID” and “Meter”) but the actual data is missing. Am I missing something important?
Note: I am running c3d 2012 on a Win 7 64 Bit machine. I also removed office 32 bit apps and installed 64 bit apps to see if that would solve the problem. No go.

say you make some parcels in your project with custom data fields like: id_no, permit_no, acres_served etc. you attach an agency provided shape file via an fdo connection that has many fields of information like above.
when you right click on your parcel and do parcel properties you get a tab that lets you input the custom parcel data.
lets say you print an fdo map label showing, say, the id_no, provided in the shape file. Then in your custom parcel properties for id_no you type that in.
is there a way to make an expression to put in the other custom parcel properties that will read, say, the permit_no(id_no) from the fdo like and put that information in the custom parcel property field?

I'm having problems getting super elevation data to transfer to different drawings by means of an alignment data shortcut. I know alignments hold the super elevation data so I've gone into my alignments data shortcut, input my super elevation data, saved and closed. Now when I open my finished grade drawing, reference in my alignment and profiles, then create a corridor from that information, my super elevation didn't transfer with the reference.
I pulled cross sections and it appears is has no clue there is any super elevation data. Also, I tried bringing it directly into the drawing I'm doing my corridors in and it erred saying I must be in the parent alignment drawing. Data shortcuts are pretty much useless to me if super elevation data doesn't transfer.

I am trying to link my extracted data from blocks with attributes to an extenal source so that the table I create and place into the drawing already has the formulas I need to due the required calculations. But every time I create and place the table the formulas are not in the table. I include the columes that contain the data but it doesn't seem to be working.

I've just installed Civil3D, 64-bit on windows 7(running on bootcamp) and am trying to insert a georeferenced raster image but have encountered some issues.
1. "Home tab>>Data panel>>>insert An Image" - The data panel is missing and it's also not found in "customize palettes"
2. Trying the data connect route does not work either: Display manager>>>Data>>>Connect To Data - There is no 'Data' option and I cannot connect to Data.

Is it possible to embedd data in a table so that a user can select from a group of data within one cell?
I use this technique quite often in Excel. One cell in a table can have various values: A, B, C, or D. While another cell can have a different set of values to choose from: BLUE, RED, ORANGE, or PURPLE. The user can pull down an arrow (similar to a dynamic block) and choose from a set list of values.

We frequently will create a new part and drawing based on an existing drawing to save time recreating views and re-dimensioning the entire drawing. This is done by using Design Assistant to copy the idw and ipt file to a new name.
The only problem we have experienced with this workflow is that the revision history for the old drawing is maintained in the new file, and there doesnt seem to be a way to reset it. This also causes us a problem if a drawing needs to be changed from numeric to letter indication of revision level.
Any way to reset the revision history so that a new table can be started from scratch?

I´m having a couple of problems with getting data correctly from an Excel Sheet. I´m using the Excel Sheet to get Data for the Stock Number based on geometry.
First time the Excel File get´s opened it always cannot find the first sheet. I´m using a german Version and Sheet1 is Tabelle1 in german.
It always searches for sheet1 the first time the script runs on a new derived assembly. The second time (on second part) it correctly finds Tabelle1 and reads the correct value.Here is the code I´m using:
[code]
myXLS = "K:IdentNr.xls"
GoExcel.Open(myXLS)
i = GoExcel.FindRow(myXLS, "Tabelle1", "Stärke", "=", Stärke, "Material", "=", iProperties.Material)
IdentNr = GoExcel.CurrentRowValue("IdentNr")
iProperties.Value("Custom", "IdentNr") = IdentNr
[code]
And there is another issue which I have solved already but still gives me a bit of a headache. When the userdefined property IdentNr gets written into the part it always defaults to a numerical value, which means that I always get a comma at the end of the Stock Number.
Only when I define IdentNr like this:
Dim IdentNr As String
the format is correctly set to Text.I expected that when you read a value from an Excel Cell that the Format of the Cell gives the format of the user defined property. Is that not correct?

I can't follow the sample code when using c#
object selected; selected = oApp.ActiveDocument.SelectSet[1]; Inventor.ComponentOccurrence oOcc; oOcc = (Inventor.ComponentOccurrence)selected; Inventor.NativeBrowserNodeDefinition oNativeBrowserNodeDef; oNativeBrowserNodeDef = oApp.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.GetNativeBrowserNodeDefinition(oOcc); Inventor.BrowserNode oTopNode; oTopNode = oApp.ActiveDocument.BrowserPanes.ActivePane.TopNode; Inventor.BrowserNode oOccNode; oOccNode=oTopNode.AllReferencedNodes(....?
The sample code uses
Set oWorkPlaneNode = oTopBrowserNode.AllReferencedNodes(oNativeBrowserNodeDef).
In c# (and API-Help) it is AllReferencedNodes(Inventor.Browserdefinition Definition)
How to obtain the browser node definition?

The only thing that has changed since Friday is the install of SP1. I use the old dialog boxes instead of the mini-toolbars (don't get me wound up). I just noticed yesterday some strange behavior when I change the value in the dialog box.
In the example in the attached screenshots, I started the fillet command and selected edges. The default fillet was ".3" and I want to change to ".4375". As you can see in the image, at one point while typing, Inventor decided to highlight the entry again, and as you see overwrote the ".4" with "375".
I'm checking other dialog boxes now but so far all I know is the fillet dialog box. Also does it on the value of a variable fillet too.

I have a program that populates an access database with part parameters. Each Inventor part can look up its own parameter values from the database when supplied with a single parameter, the ID number of the database record. The ID number is derived from a blank part that the program also updates. So in a nut shell, the program populates the blank part's parameters with all database ID numbers that would make up entire assembly. Those parameter values are derived to all the parts in an assembly. This is by far the fastest most efficient way I've found to rapidly generate an entire assembly. In a matter of seconds I can have a new 1000+ part assembly.
The rumor that Inventor will eventually sever ties with VBA has put this whole process in jeopardy. So I have been looking into using iLogic to perform the same task of looking up the data from Access. I know that iLogic has Excel functions built into it, but because the original program is Access based (changes this is not an option) any way to use iLogic to retrieve data from Access.

I was working on a machine today and an error came up Access violation-no RTTI data! I have never seen this before and now no matter what assembly in any project I open the software is having a lot of problems. When it open the main assembly I cannot open a part or an assembly in the main assembly. I have tried to get support on my subscription but it just sits there and says processing. I am down and cannot afford to sit here.

I'm looking for a solution to export surface finishes into Excel. We built an assembly and parts and their faces has different colors. Is that possible to read colored faces, merged them by color, read the total surface area and then export into Excel. That is for estimating purposes. I read the thread "Extracting Surface Finish Data" but I didn't find the piece of code that I need.
