AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Precision Of Values In Drop Down Menu When Using Block Properties Table
Jun 20, 2012i was wondering if it's possible to change the default precision of values in the drop down menu for linear parameters when using a block properties table from 4 digits to 0.
See attached file, when opening the dropdown menu, the centre-to-centre widths of the chair are displayed in a value with 4 digits "behind the comma" and i would like that to be 0.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Overridden Balloons

Sep 1, 2011I want to add the Balloon Renumbering function to our templates using iLogic, but when I run it I get an error message saying: "The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))". I have narrowed it down and think it has to do with the following line: partInfo(i - 1).Number = drawBOMRow.Item(itemColumn).Value. When I remove that line I don't get an error message, but every balloon is set to item no 0. The function I want to achieve with the code is to renumber separate part files against the assembly BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Balloons To Stay In Desired Direction?
Nov 8, 2011Any easy or more reliable way of getting balloons to stay in the direction you want?
In the image i've attached you can see what normally happens when dragging a balloon in position on the left and what i desire (and accomplish after a lengthy fight) on the right.
Is there a way to make a balloon (3.30.4 in this case) go into the desired direction without having to fight with it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ballooning Wiring / Split Balloons
May 17, 2010(check out the attached .bmp for clarity)
I need to either add a custom balloon to a 3D wiring harness (made of individual wires) or add a split balloon (showing item number then sheet number) to my layout. What I have now is a 3D harness with all my connectors shown on it and a balloon calling out what connector it is. I want to attach a custom split balloon to my connector callouts to reference the wire and sheet number of another sheet in the same project. I should also mention that there are tons of connectors that as far as Inventor is concerned is the same model.
I've already created a user symbol to attemp to work around it but I can't attach the custom symbol to the existing balloon.
Secondly, why can't I attached a balloon to the 3D harness anyway. I also can't add a balloon to the nailboard view either!

Oct 31, 2013I want my custom property to defined as item #. That Item # then is represented in the balloon.
reasoning is that then engineers wont have to check drawings anymore for the guess work involved in matching the part balloon to each individual part in the assembly being called out.
I can then focus on creating a BOM that shows the different item#'s and the user can quickly go through it.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Finding Missing BOM Balloons In Drawing
Jul 16, 2013We want to ensure that a balloon callout exists for every item in the parts list (BOM) in our assembly drawings. Is there a way to easily do this?
Currently, if we have an assembly with 30 parts, we manually search for each of the 30 BOM balloon to verify that none were missed. Since the balloons are not in order, balloon 5 could be on page 2 while 6 is on page 8. This method is often time-consuming and error prone.
It probably goes without saying, but if ballons are missed, then assemblers have nothing to show them were the parts go and either come ask us or guess.

Jul 10, 2012In Inventor 2012, you could choose Balloon, select a part, click at some location and the Balloon was placed and finished. Now in Inventor 2013 you have to right-click and choose Continue. The same applies, when you want to place a Leader Text (and maybe elsewhere as well).
Why do we suddenly have to make two additional clicks compared to Inventor 2012. It doesn't work, that you can press Enter instead of the additional mouse clicks.
And why is the Open Drawing moved to second level. The Marking Menu is of no use, especially not in the tree browser.
Why do you Inventor designers make such changes that make Inventor more annoying to operate compared to the previous version. It should be the other way around....like the brilliant inclusion of Open Drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Retrieve Dimension Precision In IDW
Oct 17, 2013I've recently been playing with the "Retrieve Dimension" feature in IDWs to pull the model dimensions and tolerances from the IPT. I'm wondering if I am understanding the behavior correctly.
The IPT Document Settings > Default Tolerance "Use" and "Export" standard tolerance values boxes are checked.
I have standard tolerances defined for .xx and .xxx precisions. Default in the IPT is .xxx.
If I place a sketch dimension and extrude a feature, place that part in an IDW, and "Retrieve Dimension," the result is that the dimension's precision and tolerance are defined by the active IDW style.
However, if I place the sketch dimension, and then modify its precision to be something other than the IPT default, when I "Retrieve Dimension" in the IDW, it pulls the modified precision and tolerance from the IPT settings.
Is this the expected behavior? When I see the box in the IPT Default Tolerance tab that says "Export Standard Tolerance Values," I understand that to mean that the standard tolerance values in the IPT will be propagated to the IDW. Is this incorrect?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List - Cannot Get Correct Precision
Aug 24, 2012I am working on updating my Parts List and ran into a little issue. When I make a Parts List with components from the content center, in this case some angle, I cannot get the correct precision.
See attachment.
The first picture shows the correct units in the QTY column but I would like the 2.000ft to just be 2ft. If I modify the style to correct the precision it adds the units to every item in the QTY column as you can see in the second picture.
Is there a way around this without editing the Parts List each time I create one?
AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA - Unable To Change Tolerance Precision?
Jul 28, 2010All the values I put in to set my tolerance are being rounded to three decimal places even though the value is four place and I am setting the dimension precision to four place.
For Example: I have a hole of diameter 2.0466. It is to have a tolerance of +.0005/-.0000. When tolerance.setToDeviation is called, the .0005 is strangely forced to .001 and is set as this in the part file. The precision value had already been set to 4 at this point.
I am using the following code in Inventor 2010:
'Create hole feature
Call oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.AddDrilledByThroughAllExtent(oLinearPlacementDef, dDiameter, kExtentDirection)
'Get hole feature just created
Dim oHole As HoleFeature
Set oHole = oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Item(oCompDef.Features.HoleFeatures.Count) ' need most recent index

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Width Precision
Oct 19, 2013When referring to flat pattern length and width you can make an custom iproperty and add =<Sheet Metal Width>. You can then add 2 fields in the drawing parts list and set precision, trailing zeroes and unit string on/off.
Most companies have 1 field for 'Size' or put size inside description and then you cannot format
The problem is that if you fill in description: =Sheet <Thickness>mm, <Sheet Metal Width>x<Sheet Metal Length> you get the following:
Description: Sheet 15mm, 3411,978 mm x 2000,000 mm
i Want to have Description: Sheet 15mm, 3412x2000
You can't change property format as you can with user parameters you set to export as far as I know. Is there a way? excluding iLogic, which would only be a half baked solution. I would really like to have width and length as a sheet metal parameter, rather than a iproperties formula.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Decimal Precision For Retrieved Dimensions
Sep 21, 2011I have had a problem with retrieved dimensions decimal precision. I set the precision to 1 decimal place in the ipt but when I retrive the dimension it set the precision to 3 decimal places. I then go to the precision control in the drawing and change it to 1 decimal place.
If I then go back to the ipt and edit the dim, the drawing precision then jumps back to 3 decimal places. (This is particular to the decimal precision for the tolerance of a dimension). How to sort this out?

Feb 20, 2013I have an iLogic rule that populates the fields shown below in our title block. The DIM. Values are strings set with H,W,L values. This works well, but I have an additional need to sort these values in ascending order, so the smallest value is first followed by the next largest and finally the largest value. (4.000x5.000x14.000). I haven't had much luck finding any information about how this can be done. I did however come across some code here that someone else was using for a similar feature.
Dim sizes As New List (Of Decimal)sizes.Add(bH)sizes.Add(bW)sizes.Add(bL)sizes.Sort()D1 = sizes(1)D2 = sizes(2)D3 = sizes(3)
This is what I have been attempting, though it does not work. I get the following error "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index". I'm not sure if my list type is correct (Decimal), but no matter what I choose it fails. The (bH,bW,bL) are the actual block dimensions pulled from the .ipt file. Once sorted I want the values of each position (1),(2),(3) to be assigned to (D1),(D2),(D3) so I can place them in my title block in the correct order.
