Macros in inventor drawing are not activating or it is not automatically generating vba codes.
when creating macros and i assign dimensions to objects but the macros are not generating any codes.
Working with inventor pro 2012, whenever I try to run a macro, the program freezes. It happens when I press the tools/macros buttonand it can take 30 sec or more before the macros dialog release and active or I can try to run windows job list which seems to release the jam too.It also happens when I try to run my macro with shortcut key or customized button. It freezes before the macro even loads. If I open the macros editor and run the macro from there (run sub) then there is no delay at all!

I have made some macros and now with the 2012 version of Inventor it is very very slowly to open the dialog box to choose a macro. I have the windows cursor during 30 second in each time I want to select a macro.
When I have made a shortcut for one of my macros it goes good and quikly.
Inventor 2010:
when i create a note in an assembly (accidentally, we never use them), all my macros refuse to run from the buttons in the "User Commands" panel.
Why? Bug? What's happening to cause this? Can we programmatically remove or disable the "Create Note" option from the right-click menu?
If I set a keyboard shortcut for a macro, it will function properly until the session is closed. When Inventor is opened again, the shortcut will not be on the keyboard customization list. So far, all shortcuts for regular Inventor functions, and even Add-Ins, will stay present when the session is closed and opened. I've been able to reproduce this on a co-worker's computer, so I don't believe it is an issue related to my system.
Edit: Forgot to add, using Inventor 2012
Short of converting to an add-in is there any way to place macro's into toolbars where you can set the Text of the button to something other than the macro name?
I mean, while to those who write them, there's nothing wrong (really) with a command button titled Invoke_This_Fuction or InvokeFunction, it looks quite odd to everyone else.
If the only way is via add-in, that's fine (though a friendly display name should be an option). Just trying to find out before I spend a boatload of time only to figure out you can't
Also, do all add-ins 'have' to be installed? Or is there a way you can just drop a file in the correct path and it'll appear on next running of Inventor?
I have a users machine that is displaying some odd behaviour. Their Macros and VBA Editor buttons have stopped working. We have tried several things already but nothing appears to have any effect.

I already looked around and it is being said that it is a bug, wich can be fixed with a service pack. I work in a big company, and they are refusing to do the service pack.
So the next best thing I can figure is to make a macro, wich will add all the macros I want to the quick access toolbar in assembly level, part level, sketch level and drawing level.
After deleting some rips and corner seams on my model, I can no longer create rips, unfolds, or refolds. They all come up with the same message as shown in attached picture.

I'm trying to setup a custom form that matches my company's title block information. My desired end result is to eliminate the need to open the iproperties (some users find it confusing/inconvient). I have a seperate tab for the check/status information listed in the "status" tab of the iproperties. In the iproperties, these are activated and deactivated with a check box. When I add these properties to my form, I have the ability to open a calendar but I have no way of knowing if the date is activate or not.
I saw in another post, that a ticket was opened to added the material selection to the options in forms. Could this functionality be added as well?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using LT 2011, and have made the following macros to move a piece of text onto the same Y value as another piece of text, but keep the X value as is:
^C^C_move;;.x;0;_ins;
^C^C_change;;.x;0;_ins;;;;;
The first macro works fine but the second brings up the message 'Point or option keyword required'.
All of a sudden, my action macros aren't working. I'm getting "Unknown command" errors. I've checked my options, everything's pointing to the right folder, and the macro files are in the right folder. Why would I be getting this error?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSomething strange happened recently where in order for my Right-Click Menu commands to work properly, and the double click ddedit to work, I had to take the "^C^C" out of the macro. All my related variables are set correctly, PICKFIRST, DBLCLKEDIT, etc...
What is happening is, I would get a selection set, right-click, copy with base point. Normally because the selection set is there, once a base point is selected, the command ends. In this case, after specifying the basepoint, I am asked to select objects again... This goes for ALL right click menu commands. Command line input is NOT affected.
Toolbar macros I've been using for several versions now are not working in LT 2013?
Here an example of one of the macros:
^C^C_select;_auto;\_copy;_p;;@;@;_move;_p;;\_rotate;_p;;@;\_redraw:
I have created the following keyboard macro:
^C^C_.MOCORO \ C X R
It launches move-copy-rotate, allows me to pick 2 items (in my case a electrical symbol and its associated tag), copies the entities to the desired location then rotates. It works perfect, however after the rotate I need to repeat the process indefinitely starting before the "C".
I know that I can usu an asterisk at the beginning to loop the entire macro, however I don't want to re-select, just continue on with the MCR function using the already selected entities. Any GOTO function in macros?
I suspect that I might need LISP for this but I not familiar with writing that code.
How to create macros of a drawing and then hw can we change the drawing by editing the macro. E.g.. I have drawn a circle of 30 mm dia.. than need to crate macros for same and then by changing the dia of circle in macros I want to create new circle of 50 mm dia.
Another thing I wanted to ask is what is difference between visual lisp and visual basic. Which is easier??
I am using AutoCad 2012, with CADDUCT. On my runs of duct that go vertical, I like to stack my tag numbers beside the riser in order, so our installers can easily identify the order without a ton of section views. I am trying to figure out a macro that will do numerous things. Since my tags come out at different rotation angles, I would like to do the following commands.
Rotate object text "TAG #" to 0 degrees
move object text "TAG #" to "Snap from" & "snap insert" 6" below the tag above it
I want the numbers to align by their insert locations up and down the page, and exactly 6" on center vertically from one another. The tag numbers have a node justified to the center up and down of the text.
I'm thinking of my next out lines for Master Classes and I have been asked about doing a Max Script 101 class. So a raw beginner class into script for those that have never done it in any language. This would cover what Max Script is, how to run Macros and scripts, how the editor and listener work and then get into the basics of creating useful scripts. Variables, arrays, simple functions.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with exporting an Inventor 2012 .idw to AutoCAD DWG.I am trying to export a multi-sheet drawing to AutoCAD 2007 using the Model Space - Full Scale option.
IT seems like no matter what I try, it will only export the geometry from the first sheet. It creates the other 2 .dwg files (Sheet 2 and 3) but they are empty. The drawing set is comprised of a large plan view on sheet 1 and then a bunch of section views, originally cut on sheet 1 and then moved to the other sheets.
I tried using the other options "Sheet Scale - Model Space" which left me with some odd scale factor on the section views (completely different from the scale on the drawing) so, I can't use that.And "Base View Scale - Model Space" or "Layout" give me the same result as the 1:1 scale option... all 3 files, but 2 and 3 are empty.I tried .dxf and other AutoCAD versions with no change.
Just loaded Inventor 2012 on a new computer. It seems to work OK, I can open and close files with no problem, but as soon as I try to shut Inventor down It lock up. The only way to shut it down in using task manager. After I try to shut it down the normal way Inventor continues to consume memory, (memory usage reported in the task manager continues to increase in size)!
Also once it is terminated in task manager and then restarted, the Inventor memory usage reported in the task manager continues to increase in size with no files loaded? Never leveling off. I have monitored it for several minutes after starting it and it continues to steadily increase in memory usage.
