I've been trying to change a parts color for three days.
I've seen in an example, that you can use "RenderStyle" of the "ComponentOccurrence" class.
But the "ComponentOccurence"-class doesn't have this property any longer (Inventor 2014 API).
Which property or class I can use instead of?
I have tried the PS CS4 on a Win XP + SP3. After 10 days of trial, when opening it, it gave me a warning that it is the last time it will open.
Are there any other criteria, such as the number of times, that limit the usage of the trial version on top of the 30 days?
My part color is yellow. In the assembly It shows as gray.
I cant seem to get it to change to match the part color. I used to know why this happens and knew how to fix it but seem to have forgot. How do you get this to work?
I also recently loaded 2014, but had the same problem with 2013, so its not a release issue.
I quite often import hardware models downloaded form various mfg or supplier websites. McMaster Carr for example provides a great deal of hardware models. While they offer native formats for SW they do not do this for IV (not many places do)
Since the [imported] models often open up with default properties, I change the material to something that closely represents the actual hardware or item. In some cases, there are certain portions of the item that are in reality colored or textured differently and I sometimes want to duplicate that for aesthetics and a more accurate view for people that use my assembly files.
In SW, it was always real easy to select just a face (regardless of whether the surface was part of an entire part, a feature, an imported solid body, etc. I could always change the properties of just a face or slection of faces. Since it was a standard pc of hardware, I had no concern about updates.
I have a part file that contains two imported solid bodies. If I select just a single face and try to change the color of it, it changes the entire part. Not what I want.
I`m looking for the iLogic code that can change one parameter (user defined) for each (ipt) part in assembly (iam)
The one below doesn`t work.

I have an assembly of stair made from steel. There are lots of part the same. Is there a way to make a hole (inside assembly) to one and that hole would appear on all of them.
And another problem, how can I made cut (inside assembly) through more then one part so that would affect a part also when I open it alone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change the display name of part at the part level (not an occurrence in an assembly). After the part file is saved initially I'm running an ilogic routine that assigns a "special" part number (not the same as the file name). I can get the part number into the PN iproperty easily but I can't find a way to programmatically change the display name in the top browser node. Please see attached for clarification.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow to add a virtual part from an excel list to assembly using vb.net plugin. I`d like to know how to change i Properties of the virtual part through vb.net.
The iLogic code that I would typically use is:
Dim occs As ComponentOccurrencesoccs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencesDim identity As Matrixidentity = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix
Dim virtOcc As ComponentOccurrenceIf v_qty >= 1 ThenvirtOcc = occs.AddVirtual(sVirtPart, identity) Try iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Project", "Description") = oProp1iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Summary", "Title") = oProp1 Catch End Try.......
so for the plugin I need to re-write this
Dim _invApp As Inventor.ApplicationDim occs As ComponentOccurrencesoccs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
Dim identity As Matrixidentity = _invApp.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrix Dim virtOcc As ComponentOccurrence If vp_qty >= 1 Then virtOcc = occs.AddVirtual(sVirtPart, identity) 'Try ' iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Project", "Description") = oProp1 ' iProperties.Value(sVirtPart & ":1", "Summary", "Title") = oProp1 'Catch 'catch error when oProp1 = nothing 'End Try

I need to make installation plans on climate ceilings, which are steel cassettes with Meandro tube element located where cold or hot water is flowing through.
[URL]......
Now it may occur that a cassette is given a code 700 which represents the type of cassette. If inside the cassette is placed a Meandro element its become a follow number eg 700-01.
It may also be that the same cassette No. 700 gets another Meandro element and because the cassette has not changed shape the number 700 remains the same but the follow number change e.g. 700-02.
At the moment I change the number in the browser,(inv2012) I therefore want automatically the iproperties ,partnumber and stock number, to fit. When I go to the BOM, the part- and stock numbers automatically will be placed.
The browser codes are not displayed in the BOM. So if I specify for change I only have to do so in the browser. I wanted to do so by iLogic but then ran into problems. I found a tutorial from Rob Cohee with ilogic so you won’t forget to fill in your iproperties.
[URL].......
I also wanted to do so with the iproprtie Stock number but get an error stating that I must declare the name. How must i declare a name.
Also i was told for entering the browse name in ilogic i had to use displayName, but I get a error stating that the name is Read Only.
So how can i, after i change the browse name, automatically fill in the iproperties ‘part number and/or stock number? Is there an ilogic code for?
Before using iLogic, I created lot of iAssembly and iPart. I could change iPart factory member when I need in iAssembly.Now, I want to move everything to iLogic.
how could I change the part by iLogic code?

In my assembly, sometimes, I need use Part1.ipt, sometimes I need use Part2.ipt.

The reducer and straight tee are oddly still the correct color, but the others are a lighter shade of gray.
When I click on a light gray fitting, the material and appearance say "Steel, Wrought; Steel". When I select the old darker color, it says "Wrought Steel; Metal-Steel."
I'd like to change this at the CC level instead of manually changing them in every assembly and design representation.

Is there a way to have inventor make each part in an assembly have a different color? I like to work in assemblies like this because it is easier to tell the parts from each other. It's just time-consuming to go through and change everything if the assembly was designed with realistic colors. I am thinking there might be a macro for this, but I don't have much experience with macros so idk.
(extra brownie points if the method has the capability of reverting back to realistic colors)

This is my first time using Inventor but I've been using ProE for several years in school. A friend of mine told me about a feature in ProE where you are able to define a part and then define one of the lengths as it is placed into an assembly. For example I would define a 2x4 part with a length of 84inches. If I wanted a 2x4 of 68inches in my assembly I would use the same file but simply change the 84 to 68. How can I do this with Inventor?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several frames built by Frame Generator in project.
Than one frame has been diminished much while design so I use just several frame links just like parts without skeleton.
Those frame links I have renamed since I have several copies and I would like to have unique name. Now when I start the assembly consisting those links Inventor naturally inquires about missing files.
I show to renamed one and everything works ok except when I start the file again it asks again nevertheless file has been saved. Inventor still remember this frame link names as it used to be in browser and does not accept replacement.
[URL]........
I wish I must not rebuild those parts from scratch again. Therefore I have two questions
Is it possible to save this frame part as normal part (save as does not do it) ?
Is there some other way to get rid of Frame Generator status of some part built by Frame Gen?
