AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Model Feature From Selected Drawing Curve?
Sep 11, 2012
Im trying to create some code for another user which takes the pre-selected drawing curve and retrieves the feature information from the model. More specifically, I want to pre-select the drawing curve of a hole, and then run the rule. The rule will take this selected drawing curve and get its model. Then from here I'm expecting I'll be able to use the Hole Feature classes in the API to retrieve the wanted information.
I've tried using SelectSet.Item(1by tut cannot seem to be able to set it as a drawing curve (or anything for that matter).

How to pattern a feature along a spline curve so that the resultants are separated by an equal linear distance (chord length), rather than as a function of the spline curve's length?

We are using Inventor 2011 and I would like to make a small app that allows my users to graphically select one or more occurrences of a rectangular pattern feature Then allow them to suppress them if desired.
I have determined the code to loop through the pattern occurrences and toggle suppression for any instance. What I do not know how to do is determine which occurrences have been graphically selected.
At this time I am only concerned with round hole features. (Perforated metal)

I'm a new 2009 Inventor user (use mostly Solidworks for other jobs) and how to make the model update after I modify a feature sketch (e.g. I only add one more circle/hole to a sketch used for a somple extrusion, but the extra hole doesn't appear on the model). Tried all update-related commands but no luck so far. If I delete the feature and recreate it again everything works fine, but I stuff up all other features and mates that use the reference geometry...

I'm using VB 2010 express. My code is getting selected part and changing some "Design Tracking Properties" of it. But when I change the properties focus goes from the selected part/sub?... How can I make part selected again? How can I make it focused.I need like below like
invDocument.SetFocus or invDocuments.MakeItSelected like...
Dim asmDoc As AssemblyDocument
asmDoc = inv_App.ActiveDocument
'********
Dim invDocument As Document = Nothing
Dim compOcc As ComponentOccurrence = Nothing

I am having trouble with dimensions disappearing in the drawing when I update my model.
I add the correct dimensions then when I update my model, all dimensions on the drawing disappear and I have to make them all again.
A little more info:
I am using the tube and pipe feature to drawing tubing inside of an assembly.
Process:
1) I draw the tubing routes and populate them (to show an actual swept tube)
2)Right click on the newly created route in the explorer and open the tube.
3)File->new->drw.
4)Add necessary dimensions to the tube drawing.
5)Save and close drawing
Up until this point everything is fine.
6)Edit the tube route in the assembly and save
7)Upon opening the drawing of that tube route ALL dimensions have disappeared.

I am trying to figure out how to properly define the dimensions of an exponential curve in a drawing to make it easiest to have the piece machined.
I am starting to wonder if inventor refers to this type of curve as something else entirely, as well. Since an exponential curve is like the shape of an airplane wing and doesn't have a "consistent" angle.

I'm trying to dimension an ellipse in the Inventor Drawing Feature. I've attached the .idw files. (the .ipt is too large)I am aware that the ellipse doesn't have a constant radius and was wondering what is accepted practice for these dimensions?
I need to first dimension the external elliptical shape (which I'm struggling at), might just add a note.
Secondly I'm trying to dimension the mesh part, its not centrally align to the part and since I can't put a center mark on I'm not sure how I should dimension this...

I am looking to use iLogic to create feature suppression in individual drawing views, i.e for simplicity, in view 1 part has a hole in view 2 part does not have a hole it has been suppressed
I am aware this can be done with iParts but im trying to avoid using iparts.

Problem: I have a part that goes through several processes, casting, machined, finish. I want to create a drawing sheet with views displaying the part through different stages.
Solution One: Create as many different parts (with different file names) for each stage and place the views accordingly. Really? Three or more part files to illustrate a single part?
Solution Two: Create a user parameter that will auto-suppress features to create different Levels of Details on Parts, but there is no way to initiate/set the user parameter for different views.
I understand 2012 has the ability to create part design representations, but we are still on 2011 and I am leery to upgrade for a feature that still might not work properly.
There has to be a way to suppress features in a specific view...iLogic? iPart? anything? I simply can't believe this is the case.

Is it just me, or did the Drawing View Thread Feature option get switch to default OFF, where it used to be on? Did I do something on accident to make this happen? how I can get it back by default?

I have attached two snips.
snip1 shows an unselected object in map3d, the color of which can be controlled.
snip2 shows a selected object and i wanted to know if this color (i.e. the color that shows when the object is selected) can be controlled or not?

I have parts that are similar and want to save a copy of the model and it's drawing together as a new part number. This way I don't have create a new drawing every time. I used ProE 2001 before I upgraded to Inventor 2012 and ProE would save them both together.

As this software continues to change it's behavior of function over nite. I am assuming due to new updates in inventor. I can no longer get my drawing to update per changes made to the model. This started about 2 weeks ago.
Change are completed perfectly, I open the drawing and it still has the old model represented. When I right on the view and open the model. Model contains all of my changes, but the drawing does not seem to care or notice that changes have been made and saved. I even closed inventor and reopened.
Even though I'm paid by the hour I really do not want to delete all views and start all over.
So the only answer is to delete all views replace them re dimension them and of course add any time consuming sketches.
10-15 minutes change now is going to take 3 hours. WHY can't autodesk make a stable piece of software?

how to identify the model associated with a particular PL on a drawing. I'm able to find a PL and write to the header which is cool. But I'm trying to determine the model associated with the BOM pipline so I can get it's P/N iproperty and write that to the PL header.

I want to create a rule with CommandManager.pick who see the name of assembly and send a custom ipropertie to all parts of this assembly view in drawing, this is my none finish rule.
Dim doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim entity = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(
SelectionFilterEnum.kDrawingViewFilter,
"SÉLECTIONNE UNE VUE")
modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ActiveSheet.View(entity.Name).ModelDocument.FullFileName)
PART = Left(modelName, 11)
EXT = Right(modelName, 3)
FIRST = Left(modelName, 3)
[code]....
I have the rule "SEND TO PARTS" in my assembly but i have this error message

I'm trying to create a surface using feature lines. I have an alignment and profile that I have created a dynamic feature line. However, on a horizontal curve, it apparently creates a vertex at the start and beginning of the curve, and nothing on the curve, so it triangulates between those two points and that's it.
Do I need to play with spiral tessellation (0.25), mid-ordinate distance (0.1) to get some points along the curve?

I am making a control console with a bunch of plastic tags on my pilot devices. I use the sketch text tool to write the label on each tags.
When comes the time to make my drawing, I get my model sketch and they show on my 2D, no problem.
Well today, it seems Inventor 2014 just gave up on giving me my sketches. Here is the console view of of the lid with the tag texts showing:
Now let's go over the second lid on the same plan and get my model sketch to see the rest of my text.
Click on it and ....
Nothing! still no text.

After creating the desired frame using frame generator, I am creating a detail drawing. When I insert the parts list, the info applied is using the full length of the tubes before it was cut to fit. (to get rid of the over lap edges of the frame)
Attached is the part file used to create the frame. (Can't attached the frame, too big) I used
Also attached is the drawing to clarify the issue.
Total length of the frame is 116.75"
In reality is it made up of 2 short end pieces 23.375" + 2 x for pocket tubes (10") plus the center tube 50"
23.375+23.375+10+10+50=116.75"
Now from my part file, i just made 3 lines for the total length and 2 intersecting lines for the fork pockets. The parts list is using the initial creation length and not the altered cut length? Does this make any sense?
How can I get the parts list to represent values after a cut is done to the tube?

Is there a way to have a part, which is a part of a larger assembly, get the title, subject, etc. from its parent assembly? I have my template set to use the "Title" property in my title block but I'd like each individual part drawing to pull that "title" from the assembly, not from the part itself.

I have a part (partA) and a drawing of it (drawingA).I want to save a copy of both (partB and drawingB) and make changes to partB and drawingB will update.
To do this do I save a copy of partA first to partB and then in drawingA replace part to partB and then save a copy of drawing to drawingB

I did some digging and found the option to replace a model reference in an entire drawing, but I'm looking to change the reference in just a view. Consider the picture I have attached. I'm depicting top down views of these layers. Each layer requires changing the view identifier each time I drop a view. This would be considerably less time consuming if I could just copy/paste the view and change which part file it was pointing to.

I've got a drawing with multiple base views wich means multiple reference models. In my titleblock i've included the mass of my model through
Type: Physical Properties - Model
Property: MASS
But now it automaticly selects the first placed base model as the model to select the mass. how can i change the 'active' model to another model/base view?

I could not get the code to work for me, and I am not a programmer or pretend to be. I need to take a model and create a dwg with ilogic. It only needs to be one flat pattern view and one isometric view.
I also need it to have center marks for all the holes and I need to add certain dimensions.
