AutoCAD Inventor :: Hide Cell Borders In Table Driven By Excel?
May 18, 2012
I am using a link to an .xls worksheet to populate a General Table in my .idw (Inventor 2012). See attached. The blank space underneath the first lines of information will always be blank, no matter how many rows we get. Is there a way to have the drawing hide the blank/empty cells, make the borders invisible, etc?
I have tried using the Insert Object for an Excel file instead of using the Table feature, but it does not appear to be an updatable link. As in, if I change data in my .xls file, it won't update the inserted object to the same info.

In ACA2008, can the display of each of the four edges of a cell in a table be controlled individually? I want left and right edges of cells to display, and top and bottom edges to not display. In the Cell Border Properties dialog box, I can set the Lineweight, Linetype, and Color of each edge, but I don't see how to set the visibility of each edge.

I struggled for a while this morning with trying to data link to a large door schedule in Excel. After several failures, I searched online for answers, and read in another forum that AutoCAD won't data link to more than 2000 cells.
My door schedule is about 2050 cells now, and will be about 4000 when done. I defined a set of about 1,000 cells in the Excel spreadsheet, and AutoCAD linked to it no problem. So, I tend to believe the poster who stated the 2000 cell limit, but I can't find this.

I have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures. These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table. I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.
By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.

What im trying to do is take the i properties from an inventor .dwg, and place them into a specific excel spreadsheet. I've managed to get so far, by using code that Curtis posted, which does the opposite of what im looking to do.The code Curtis posted takes info from excel and fills in iprops.
I can fill in specific cells, for instance columns A, B & C on Row 1 and place that info into a specific spreadsheet. But my code falls down when i run the code on another .dwg, It obviously overwrites what was previously in those cells.... I am looking for the code that looks to see if those cells are in use, and if so, go to the next available cell down.

I noticed some errors in certain table entries in an i Feature of mine after I had already started creating parts using it. I've updated the table and when I add new instances of the feature to my part they work fine, but the existing instances of it stay the same size. Is there any way to force the existing instances to update?
The i Feature in question is a sketch and I'm using Inventor 2012, if either of those is relevant.

We have a whole bunch of spreadsheets that we use for calculations and parts of those spreadsheets are linked to a ton of CAD Drawings via data links.
We would like to be able to deliver the CAD drawings to the client without having to send our calculation books (just the output tables). In other words, is it possible to embed the table data and remove the excel link for the final delivery?

When you make a custom table in VB.net, adding in the Row Height property in the custom table create line only changes the data cell row heights, not the title cells or the header cell. How do yo do set the title/header cell row heights ?
Dim oRowHeights_FS(11) As DoubleoRowHeights_FS(0) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(1) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(2) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(3) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(4) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(5) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(6) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(7) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(8) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(9) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(10) = 0.6oRowHeights_FS(11) = 0.6Dim position_FrameShear As Point2d = _invApp.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d((oInvSheet.Border.RangeBox.MinPoint.X + 16), (oInvSheet.Border.RangeBox.MaxPoint.Y))Dim oCustomTable_FrameShear As CustomTableoCustomTable_FrameShear = oInvSheet.CustomTables.Add(vValue_FrameType & " " & vValue_Hand & " Frame Shear List", position_FrameShear, 6, 12, oTitles_FrameShear, oContents_FrameShear, oColumnWidths_FrameShear, oRowHeights_FS)

I am creating a standalone .exe with VB.net that opens an Inventor .idw and creates a few custom tables. I want one of the tables to have no border at all.
So far I have tried:
Dim oFormat As TableFormat oFormat = oInvSheet.CustomTables.CreateTableFormat oFormat.InsideLineWeight = 0 oFormat.OutsideLineWeight = 0 oCustomTable_Hardware.OverrideFormat = oFormat
But that does not hide the border lines.
I've found no similar code to try out that dealt with table borders or that sort.

Is there a way to setup vertical alignment of text in a cell for the entire table, when using Table Tool? It is possible for a single cell, but when selecting a table (or multiple cells) this option is not available.

I have been working with dynamic blocks lately and I am fascinated with the tool and its capabilities. However, something that I have not been able to figure out and not sure if its this is doable ---->
Can you make a dynamic block table driven, say from an excel table?
For example, lets say you have a dynamic block with parameters/actions set up that allow you to set the width, length, height, distance from edge, # of object arrays, etc. Rather than grabbing each grip and specifying the desired dimension, can you make it so the dynamic block is table driven? such as, where you might have a list of desired dimensions (say in excel) and you want to quickly input them into a table in autocad, so that the dynamic block will adjust to those dimensions?

I tried Curtis Waguespack's iLogic: Export Parts List with Options, and it works great on Part Lists. I'd like to do the same thing on a custom table, but I don't know what needs to be changed.

I am creating a table where I want the cell contents to be aligned Middle Center. I can set that up in the table definition and it seems to be in place once the table is in the drawing. If I type text into the cell the alignment is as expected. Whenever I type a number the aligment changes to Top Right. I can go back into the cell and reset the alignment to Middle Center. If I then delete the cell contents, exit the cell then return to the cell and enter a number the alignment returns to Top Right. I want the table to start off empty so others can enter informaiton as it becomes available. Is there a way to have the cell alignment stay the way I wnat it regardless of what I enter into the cell? I tried changing the cell format to text but the instant I entered a number it switched back to a number format and aligned Top Right.

In our company, we put Excel tables in our drawings. The reason we've chosen for Excel-tables is that we can adjust the layout of the table quite easily. These tables consist of grouped cells in a particular company-specific layout. We select the range of the desired cells, copy and paste them in our AutoCAD drawing. This drawing is sent to our customers. The disadvantage of this method is, that when our customers (who use CAD-software of other brands) open the dwg, they don't see the table, but some kind of picture of the table.
Is there a way to 'explode' the excel-table, but keep the specific layout of the table? For attributes in blocks there's the 'Explode Attributes'-command in the Express-tools, but is there something similar for Excel-tables?

I am trying to find out which Cell in a table is being / has been modified, in AutoCAD 2011 with C#.
I have subscribed to the Table's .Modified event, but when this is triggered by modifying some MText in a Cell, the Table's .HasSubSelection property is false and its .SubSelection property throws an exception. Conversely, modifying the MText in a Cell does not trigger the Table's .SubObjectModified event.
I noticed a class called Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Reactors.TableSubSelectFilter which has a event called CellSelected, but how to instantiate such a class for the Table and subscribe to this event.
How Autodesk intends you to determine which Cell of a Table has been modified?

I am currently using 2008. I have data linked an excel sheet to a table in my drawing. That part works fine.I am trying to link cell values in that table to block attributes using fields-object-formula-cell.Numeric values transfer to my field OK but values containing letters or full words transfer as #####.This appears to be the 'way it is' in 2008.

was wondering if it's possible to bring in the value of a single Excel cell into a predefined window area in AutoCAD LT 2012? Some of our tool and die calculations are done in Excel, but we only want one cell (equation summary or description) brought into to AutoCAD 2007. If not AutoCAD LT 2007, then what about a more recent version of LT or even full blown AutoCAD?

I've created a data link, linked to my autocad drawing, checked the box to keep excel formatting and update. Once i Import the table, the size of the table is NOTHING like what the size is in excel.
I have my page layout in excel to be 11 x 17 landscape. I have my table at about 9 1/4 x 15 landscape. Once I import it into autocad, it is now about 6 3/8 x 20 1/4. I don't know what i'm doing wrong but i need it to transfer just like it is in excel as far as the size of it.

Is there a trick in using a dynamic block in a table cell? When a dynamic block is inserted into a cell, any visibility can be viewed (Properties Manager) in that cell if the visibility state has a block in it. What happens if the visibility state does not have a block. That is, if the view has exploded block so one can use parts in actions etc? Can I view ANY state in a cell regardless if it has a block or not? Or must the visibility states have blocks to be able to use it in the table cell?

I have set up several tables inside autocad that have one cell as the input cell and after regen the others perform calculations based on that cell. I want to write a command that uses the same value as the input value to draw the arc to scale. I tried using the table value as is called out in the cell field:
^C^C_arc 36,6;e;0,6;r;Table(8796085192704).A3;.
Is there anyway to get a value from a cell inside autocad and put it into my macro so I can draw an arc of the radius shown?
