AutoCAD Inventor :: Link Standard IProperty To Custom IProperty?

Aug 7, 2012

I'm looking to see if there is a way to link the revision number to a custom iProperty in the same part.  Our laser requires a specific output for programming, but I only want this to show up on actual lasered parts as we don't need it on parts that are sawcut.  Basically what I would like to do is create a custom iProperty that I can link to the title block for that reads RV:<Revision>.  Is there a way to do this?  I'd rather not create a separate drawing template for lasered parts as we've got about 100 templates for our various customers the way it is.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Create Custom IProperty In Sub-component

Apr 1, 2013

I found this code to create a custom iProperty in the current, open document:
 
Dim propertyName As String = "MyProperty"Dim propertyValue as String = "Test Value"customPropertySet = ThisDoc.Document.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")Try prop = customPropertySet.Item(propertyName)Catch ' Assume error means not found customPropertySet.Add("", propertyName)End TryiProperties.Value("Custom", propertyName) = propertyValue 

I have a iLogic rule that goes through each component of an assembly, counts how many times it occurs in the assembly, and then assigns that value to an iProparty (i.e. it inserts the total quantity of the part in some iProperty). Currently, however, it assigns the value to a default iProperty value, "Authority". I'd like, instead, for it to assign it to a custom iProperty called "Total QTY". However, I don't know how to tell Inventor to do the above code for a component in the assembly rather than the assembly itself. Below is my entire code. I've labeled where I'm guessing the above code should go. How I'd modify the above code to create the iProperty in the component being processed by the rule at that point?

Current
 
''True comment: Begin '''Commented-out Begin '''PartDocumentObject = 12290''AssemblyDocumentObject = 12291Dim openDoc As DocumentopenDoc = ThisDoc.DocumentDim docFile As DocumentIf openDoc.DocumentType = 12291 Then''If the open document is an assembly:''For each document referenced in this document:For

AutoCAD LT :: Pull Down Menu Customization?

Aug 1, 2013

On older versions of Acad, I was able to go into the .mnu file and do a macro such as follows:

***POP10
**LIB2
ID_MNLIB2 [&Lib2]
[->Bolts]
[->Bolt ****'y]

[#10]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT010A;;;;
[* 1/4]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;;

[5/16]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH031A;;;;
[*3/8]^C^C-insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/HH038A;;;;

And a new pull down menu would be created and my listing of bolts could be inserted from the std libs bolt file as I clicked through the route.  I developed all of this on older versions at a different company.  With 2014, I went to the CUSTOMI ZE under the main Drafting and Annotation / AutoCAD Classic pull down and created a New Menu, renamed to BOLTS and then pulled the INSERT command and dropped it ontp the BOLTS pull down and changed the DISPLAY NAME to 1/4" and edited the MACRO from ^C^C _insert to ^C^C_insert;F:/STD/LIBS/BOLT-01/BOLT025A;;;;  Seemed to work fine....until I added another 10 bolt assemblies and then noticed that they all showed up as whatever the last bolt I had put in the Macro line was.  The display name stayed correct but the insert was gloabally changed on all pull down to whatever the last item was.  I have reset 2014 back to the original settings now to clear out everything I had done.

AutoCad :: Pull Down Menu Items And Put On Layer 0

Feb 22, 2012

I am wondering if it is possible to have pulldown menus items be brought in on the layer that they were created on versus the layer that your template has current. I created pull down menus and (not thinking ahead) put them all on layer 0. They come in with all the attributes they were created with, but come in on the current layer. Can I change that?

AutoCAD LT :: 2011 - Limit To Items Selected To Use Pull Down Menu?

Sep 25, 2012

I have installed the two service packs hoping to fix this issue.  There appears to be a limit to the quantity of items that can be selected if trying to change a property using a pulldown menu.  For example, if I select all items in a drawing (say 25,000 items, didn't test the limit), using (CTRL+A) or with mouse, and all items are not the same color, the OBJECT COLOR menu should be blank (have not value) because there is not only one color for the objects.  Same would be true of the Layer menu if all objects are not on the same layer.  This does not happen, the current Color or Layer are shown in the menu's.  WIth the objects selected, changing the color (say from red to green) has no effect.  Same is true if trying to assign all selected items to a specific layer.  WIth less items selected (didn't test the limit), things work as expected. 

I tried to see if the problem was with the menu, so I used the command line commands.  Change, Property, Color, with all items selected works fine.  Is there a bug with 2011 LT re this?  I didn't have this issue using ACAD LT 2008 previously.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Pull Down Menu And Click Save As Instead Of Window Opening

Apr 17, 2012

All of the sudden, when I go to the pull down menu and click "Save As", instead of the window opening where I can physically choose where I want to save or save over, I get the file directory in the command line. I even typed in the folder directory and it still doesn't save it there. Why the sudden change?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create IProperty That Becomes Part Of Every Part?

Apr 10, 2012

i.e.,  is it possible to create a custom iproperty which would enable the user to attach a particular attribute to every component within an assembly without manually going through each component.

For example,  If I have a pipework sub-assembly within a manifold assembly.  I want to create a custom iProperty for 'Component Type' which would be called 'Pipework' for every component called up within that subassembly.

Likewise for a frame could you have the above custom property attached to every component but called up as 'framework' instead etc.

Revit :: Creating A Pull Down Menu

Dec 20, 2011

I am trying to create a pull down menu in a door schedule. My goal is that when I load a door family into my model it will generate as much as the required schedule information as possible. Eliminating the need to manually fill out the schedule.

I have already set up shared parameters for typical schedule items; such as door material, door type, frame material, etc. I would like to set up pull down menus for the schedule items that will differ from door to door (fire rating for example), via the door family type parameters. The research I've done seems to point to using nested families. This is something I am not all that familiar with. Do I need to use nested families to do what I'm trying? If so, what would be the best way to do it? How would I create a nested family?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Name As IProperty

Nov 18, 2009

I have a drawing of a sheet metal part with multiple sheets. I have named each sheet to reflect the nature of the views (general dimensions, detail views, flat pattern, etc.). I want the name of the sheet to appear in the title block, but I cannot seem to find the "Sheet Name" property anywhere. Can it be added to the list of the drawing or sheet properties, or is there another way to achieve this?. I do not want to have to use Custom Properties, and manually re-enter the names of each sheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Iproperty Value

Oct 30, 2013

I'm looking for a way to convert the iproperty value "volume" into length from known values in the part. I have an assembly which consists of 20 different typs of sheets which are rolled out in certain patterns. The width and depth of the sheet are known, and I would like to use the volume to find the length. The assembly is linked to an excel file so the values will change based on certain parameters. I'm using this as a check to make sure there is no error from the spreadsheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Removing Characters From IProperty

Jan 3, 2013

I'd like to build a rule into my standard part template that takes the part number (which it automatically gets from the file name by default), removes the characters after a delimiter, as well as the delimiter itself, and sets that as a new custom property. For example, we'll call the custom property Prop1

For part 123-321-1.ipt

Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-1

I want to set Prop1 to 123-321

For part 123-321-25.ipt

Inventor already sets part number iProperty to 123-321-25

I want to set Prop1 to 123-321

AutoCAD Inventor :: Refresh Sheet After IProperty Changes

Dec 4, 2012

is there way to refresh sheet of drawing when an iProperty is changed trough API? When I change for example revision Number, the sheet still show old number. The value is changed, because if I open the iProperty dialog, there is new value and also when iProperty dialog is close then the sheet (title block with this property) is immediately correctly updated. I know that I can use ActiveSheet.Update method, but this update whole sheet and it take long time. There nust be something better because dialog iProperty doesnot update whole sheet and it is vvery quick.

 Dim oISI As Inventor.PropertySetDim oDrw As Inventor.DrawingDocumentSet oDrw = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentSet oISI = oDrw.PropertySets.Item("Inventor Summary Information")oISI.Item("Revision Number").Value = "test"oDrw.ActiveSheet.Update ' I would like to replace this line, this take long time
