AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Parts List Macro - Position Based On Style
Oct 19, 2011I have a macro that I acquired somewhere (possibly these boards, can't remember now) for placing a parts list. I have modified it somewhat to change the location on the sheet where the list gets placed, as well as a sub that starts the autoballoon command afterward.
The macro is set up to place the parts list in the upper left corner, by adding the parts list width to the Mini Point of the border. This works perfectly well, except that we have two parts list styles, and they are differently sized.
What I would like to do is have the macro detect the parts list style, and change the offset value depending on which style it finds. I am an extreme novice with the API, who basically knows just enough to tweak sample code a bit, and have not been able to find anything close enough to use as an example.
How I should go about this, or even post some samples of something similar? Current code is shown below.
Public Sub CreatePartsList() On Error Resume Next ' Set a reference to the drawing document. ' This assumes a drawing document is active. Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument 'Set a reference to the active sheet. Dim oSheet As Sheet Set oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet ' Set a reference to the first drawing view on ' the sheet. This assumes the first drawing ' view on the sheet is not a draft view. Dim oDrawingView As DrawingView Set oDrawingView = [code].......
The macro does not have to set the parts list style - that is controlled by the drawing Standard. It just needs to detect what it is, and place the list accordingly.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Save Run Macro To Automatically Run Macro
Dec 30, 2012I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.
Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

AutoCad 2D :: Calculations To Create Macro Button In Excel
May 23, 2012After starting my previous thread "What formula will work to achieve this result" I decided to post this new thread because I have changed my mind and will now be using the external Excel file that the "Extract Data" creates to do my calculations.
Here's what I would like to do: create a Macro [button] in Excel with the following conditions:
*
Sample of excel spreadsheet:
*
MANUF NoSUB No.DESCRIPTION** UNIT QUANTITY
A123494456TYPE A, XXXX XXX * * * * EA** * * * 45
A423520374YA1AM, XXXXXXXXXX * **EA** * * * 55

A146151725A1AAM, XXXXXXXXXX * * EA** * * * 67
A135621873TYPE A, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 24
1. * * * CONDITION #1:
IF "DESCRIPTION" TAB ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE A" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" TAB ["E" COLUMN] SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW AND DIVIDE IT BY 20, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.*
2. * * * CONDITION #2:
IF "DESCRIPTION" ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE B" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW ["E" COLUMN] AND DIVIDE IT BY 10, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.
3. * * * AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE EXCEL FILE AFTER THIS MACRO HAS BEEN UTILIZED.

Oct 4, 2012I have (unfortunately) the necessity to modify into some files (which are used as models) the print style preset.
These files, which are necessary for the realization of electrical diagrams, have inside hundreds of layout.
Each layout set default printing parameters, so as "Laser b/n.pc3," as the paper size "A4" scale "Scale to Fit", and plot style "Schemi.ctb", etc. ..
Is there a way to create a macro (a field unknown to me) or something similar, to automatically change in all the default layout, for example, the printer "Colori.pc3" and the print style in "Schemi_colori.ctb "?

I understand there is a DXF Translator that I may be able to set to do this for me. How to use Inventor add-ins (my translator is loaded, thats as far as I got) or set them as macros. A button on the ribbon to export to DXF would be nice and I may also want to automate this further and have it do it on file save.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Macro To Create Layers And Place Text In The Layers?
Aug 12, 2013We use AutoCad to name our dxf files for our Burn Table and whenever we get a new part it is a repetitive task to input layers and common text. So what I am curious is can AutoCAD input the layers and text automatically using a Macro?
I want the Macro to put in 6 layers and choose the layer color and title then input text boxes with word in 3 different layers. There will be about a total of 10 different text boxes with text already put in the boxes by the Macro.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting Events Macro To Add-In
May 22, 2008I have obtained a very useful macro from another discussion thread, [URL]....... It automatically names the frame members inserted by Frame Generator. I have modified the macro for our internal naming conventions, but the basic functionality is the same. I would like it to load automatically whenever I am in Inventor and believe an Add-In is the way to go. I have followed Brian Ekins "Taking the Step from VBA to Inventor Add-Ins" paper, but I think I am missing huge chunks on how Add-ins handle events and have been unsuccessful in finding any help topics. How to handle events in an add-in.

Nov 26, 2013I added two macros to be run from a button in the ribbon. The first time I run one of these macros after startup of Inventor, it takes a lot of time to run (approx. 5 sec.). But the second and subsequent time the tools are ran, the process is pretty much instantaneous. It's like the VBAeditor has to load on the background before the tool can process.
I arrived a this hypothesis because the VBA editor is taking around 5-10 seconds to load for the first time but after the tool (macro) has ran once, the VBA editor can be opened instantaneously.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Automatically Saving Assembly Macro
Sep 4, 2012I have made a macro that asks for a location on the file server (=client name) and then the project name. It then automatic creates the correct folders, opens my custom assembly template and changes an ipart that is by default in it.
That's all great and can save us a ton of time, but the last step is to automatic save the assembly! I just can't get it working and can't find the correct code.
I have defined the target folder earlier and the file name of the assembly is identical to this folder. For example
target folder = O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1
file name = ClientProject1.iam
-> result: O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1ClientProject1.iam
the code that I think should work looks like this:
Sub SaveAssembly() Dim oAssDoc As AssemblyDocument Set oAssDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument oAssDoc.SaveAs ("O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1ClientProject1.iam", False)End Sub
But it doesn't work, I always get the error message
"Compile error: Expected: ="
Whatever I do next I don't get the code to work
