Nov 2, 2012I was looking to change the fonts in a drawing for the Dimensions and Symbols that might have been inserted in the Dimension text entries.
This can be done manually bu editing the dimentions text after placemement, but I was ooking to set this as a default.. I cannot see where exactly this is controlled in the Styles Manager - I am only able to change the Dimension text font but the diameter symbol font is always on AIGDT.
I was therefore looking for an iLogicvb code that could do the trick, but I am not able to even change the dimension fonts... The code runs with no errors but nothing gets updated in the drawing...
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet

Nov 26, 2013I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following:
Parameters who can vary for lets say a rectangular profile with:
80x50x2
80x50x3
100x50x2
That these data sets/parameters are grouped/linked to eachother in the Parametric Table.
So when I'm doing my analyses with the profile of 100 and I change the wall thicknes from 2 to 3mm the 100 changes to the 80 variant automaticly, or asks me which version I want.
It would be handy to avoid mistakes with non excisting combinations of profiles.
Is there a custom app for Inventor that allows you to manage parameters easier? (Grouping wise to keep a better overvieuw.)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Grouping Features In Browser Bar?
Jan 27, 2010Inventor 2010 / I'm finding myself scrolling up and down the browser bar quite a lot to get to the Solid Bodies folder for example, and I was wondering if it was possible to group features into folders or something to make the journey quicker, with the benefit of also being able to just organize things a bit better.

Sep 16, 2013I have an assembly that I have the BOM property set to phantom. Consists of 7 parts, each have a bom property of purchased.
All parts are the same but cut to length in the shop. Parts list are based on parts only BOM. If I create a parts list based on just the assembly, I can group the items, they all have the same part number, and display the group participants, and the item numbers and everything works as expected.
If I use this assembly as a subassembly in a larger assembly and create a partslist with the same group keys, the subassembly does not show as a group, does not show group participants or corresponding item numbers.
What I'm trying to do is show total length of a product that we buy on a spool for this assembly. To do this I'm using substitution in the qty column. Most parts are purchased each, these are purchased by length. What would cause the parts list to display as a group in one list but not in the other?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Grouping
Mar 8, 2012I want to be able to take a few parts and group them together to make them appear as one single entry on the parts list.
Example: I have a Liquid Level Switch, Mounting Bracket and mounting hardware in the assembly as separate parts. On the .idw Parts List I need to have them show up as one item, as a 'LLS Kit' phantom.
Also, these parts will be used on other assemblies and will probably be used with other main components (ie. Temperature switches, pressure switches, etc.) so then need to remain independent of one another.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Text And Symbols Are In Little Pieces?
Feb 16, 2012I am running ACAD Mech 2012. Our LA office has ACAD LT. Every single letter, line, symbol, etc is made up of a bunch of different pieces. I found that the word SPARE was made up of 46 pieces! I have attached a portion of the drawing. I have never seen anything like this and I can't even imagine how this could be made or changed into this.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic For Sketch Symbols
Jun 24, 2013I want to replace view labels in drawings with sketch symbols to get a different appearance to my drawings. (As far as i know it is not possible to change the appearance of the standard view label.) See attached snap of my desired view label.
I have used i logic on several occasions successfully but im not experienced at all. The way I see this working is for a sketch symbol to be inserted below a view when it is created,the standard view label being omitted & the Scale/Name/Sheet details linking to the sketch symbol through parameters.

I know we can edit text after inserting symbols but we are rushed quite often and manual editing can be forgotten.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Symbols GetResultText
Nov 18, 2007I am having a small issue with getting the correct text from a sketched symbol in an IDW. I can populate the dialog box OK when i hard code the Sketched Symbol definition. The issue i have is the sketched symbol may have been inserted 3, 5 or more times and i need to extract the text from the last inserted definition. So by setting a simple counter i can count how many time the Sketched Symbol has been inserted and then by running the code below i can read the text.
Set oPESS = oPEDoc.ActiveSheet.SketchedSymbols.Item(oCount)
oSSPE1 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(1))
oSSPE2 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(2))
oSSPE3 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(3))
oSSPE4 = oPES.GetResultText(oPES.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes.Item(4))
All fine so far but and here is the real issue if ther have been other sketched symbols inserted in to the IDW the code above doesn't work.
What i need is a single line to replace the first line in the above code that will allow me to define the sketched symbols name and then by using the .item(oCount) (as above)to say this one extract the text from that sketched symbol.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Smart Sketch Symbols
May 29, 2013At my office we create drawings with lots of added text and sketched symbols usually along the extension line of a dimension. Currently we have to place the symbol then edit the rotation to make it parallel to the dim line. How to make the sketched symbol automatically orientate itself correctly?
Take this one step further, some ilogic that would automatically add the correct symbol to the dim line based on the feature? For example, when we place a dim on the face of a flange, have the F.O.F. text automatically inserted on the dim line? Or if you dim to a 2" pipe have the 2" CL symbol add automatically?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Position Sketched Symbols
Jul 19, 2012I have a lot of small parts to generate and I need to put them on A0 sheets. I have created customer borders (4 pane, 6 pane & so on), so that I can place multiple parts on one sheet.
I have several bits of information that is unique to each part, but must be indicated, so I have created sketched symbols that has model properties in. Effectively each pane on the sheet has it's own "mini title block" that displays the information unique to each part.
I also have assemblies, so therefore I need to display the BOM. I find that the BOM for the assembly "snaps" neatly into the corner of each pane, but I don't seem to be able to get the same effect with the sketched symbols. The positioning of the sketched symbols look "tatty" and once it has a leader attached (which I switch to not visible), the sketch symbol seems to snap to some sort of invisible grid.
Ultimately, I will be delivering the drawings in AutoCAD format so it will be possible to zoom up and see these mis-alignments very clearly. That makes things look very unprofessional.
Any way to position the sketched symbols neatly.

Feb 1, 2012I am currently working on creating new symbols. Now I want to keep the look of the symbol (see attached) but I want all the text to be automated as the text is currently "prompted entry".
Now when I go into the edit the text within the symbol sketch, I need the "view label properties" from the drop down menu but its not there! Is there a way that I can get the "view label properties" into the drop down menu??? What I am after is to attach this symbol to a view and the symbol will automatically show the name of the view and the scale.
OR........ If there is any way that I can get default view label to look like my symbol?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketched Symbols And Part Numbers
Oct 5, 2012I have several sketched symbols that I use with references to various properties embedded in them. Once of these is a sketch block that picks up the part number, description and so on. In order to get this to work, I place the sketch block and drag the leader to point to the part.
For assemblies the process clearly needs to be different. If I have various parts and assemblies shown on one sheet, how can I use a sketched symbol to pick up the ASSEMBLY number from one of the view.
Parts are fine (as explained above), but when I place a sketched symbol and do not attach the leader it picks up on the part number of the first component / assembly placed on the sheet.
I would like to have a sketched symbol reference a specific assembly, and list all its properties (i.e. part number, description, mass and so on).
Is there a way to do this? Please consider there could be more than one view on the sheet that has an assembly (or a part for that matter). I think I am looking for a way to link the sketched symbol to the assembly or specific view.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions UCS And Sketch Symbols Are All Oversized?
Nov 28, 2011All of a sudden, things in my inventor sketches are approximately double normal size - the UCS symbol, dimensions, constraint symbols. The UCS icon stays oversize regardless of the environment.
I went into Application Options, Sketch tab, and changed the Constraint and DOF symbol scale but it has no effect in the sketch environment. It's not confined to a single part or assembly and I have not, to my knowledge, changed any Windows or other Inventor setting.
I feel like I've stumbled into the Readers Digest Large Print edition of Inventor. How to control the size of these things?
