View 4 RepliesThe tiny red line used to highlight selected edges in a viewport is nearly impossible for me to see. Is there a parameter to change this value? I found a place to change vertex display size, but nothing on edges.

I see the panel and the buttons, but nothing happens when I click on them.
The documentation says that in order to listen to the events of my buttons I should declare a "Private WithEvents ButDef As ButtonDefinition", but it when I try I get an error message "Only valid in object module"
Another question, still related to the events, I would expect to find a _StartUp event where I should run my function, but I can't find that event.
I would love to be able to customize Inventor 2013's user interface to make it look more like the older version of Inventor. You can do that with AutoCad Mechanical. You simply change the view to "AutoCad classis" and those annoying "panel bars" go away and you get a pull down screen.

We need to be able to show, item quantity, part number, description, material spec, length in inches, and total of length x qty and weights x qty. We would like to set up iProperties so that when we input the values for each property our BOM will be completed, is this possible?

learn me how to make/create/ customize a newTaemplate in Inventor?
I would like to customize the dimensions of a part in inventor after importing from autocad 2011.
I could able to see only the option available using fx parameters, when a part is modeled scratch from sketch.
If there is an interface between various products, then this option is useful to model it easily.
When creating new surfaces, the default visibility is translucent and color is black. I'd like to customize the default surface feature settings to appear as opaque and grey. Can this be changed in Application Options, or Document Settings, or perhaps the registry?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe default format for a radius and diameter dimension is inserted with a prefix "R" and diameter symbol ahead of the measured dimension. Our company standard pre-Inventor was to place either "RAD" or "DIA" after the measured dimension. We can not seem to find anywhere in the setup to change how these type dimensions are inserted as a default or custom setting.
Can we change/customize the radius and diameter dimension formatting?

Is there a way to use the coil command to make a spiral out of a rectangle where the thickness of the rectangle starts at one value and ends at another? This would be a spiral torsion spring with decreasing thickness approaching the center.

I have a surface imported from IGES file, then trimmed to a single face in IV that I would like to materialize.
I tried times for thickness, but IV doesn't like it.
Neither can I apply Shell for part, nor thickness adding from Sheet metal.
It is a 3D Lofted surface, very simple single one.
Is there a way to customize the fence labels for detail and section views?
I know we can edit the label directly and add/remove text, but is there way to change the appearance of the label as well, with say a sketched symbol or other graphical representation like a balloon or other customized image?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a solid way of finding the Thickness parameter of a sheet metal part. I have tried two ways so far:
1. oCompDef.Parameters.Item(Thickness)
This works but if Inventor is installed with a different language pack like German for instance then it fails
2. oCompDef.Parameters.Item(1).Value
This also works but if the user started the part with a normal part template and then converts the part to a sheet metal part down the line, then this method fails.
What setting controls the line thickness attached to the arrows in the attached Detail View?

How to select all sheet metal parts with a certain thickness ?
I am looking for a sample code to select all sheet metal parts with, for example thickness 0.5 mm.
I know this option makes all lines the same thickness when printing, but where can i modify this "global" thickness.

I was told I had to use two fillets and the particial radius will not work. However, the continuous radious in the customers requirement. Is there a way to shell this part correctly?
View 2 Replies View Relatedare there any other analysis tools available to find the minimum internal wall thickness in a part? I'm aware of the cross-section tool, but that only analyzes an area the user has already noticed. In a prismatic part with several cross-holes and features (cavities), it could be easy to miss a thin spot that could give up under internal pressure just by 'eyeballing' the part with Hidden Edges turned on.
I guess I could try the 'unground and move the part thru a sectional plane' trick, but I think it would be too haphazard, especially if the weak point is not thru a principal plane.
Is there a tool I'm missing or maybe something that has been added in newer releases? Maybe this is too much analysis to ask of a modeling package.

know a rule to check if this dialog box sheet metal defaults "Use Thickness from Rule" is checked, and checked a rule to automatically clear since using a rule amending the plate thickness but if the box is checked catastrophic error occurs, and unchecking the rule works as expected.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly of multi-thickness, thin sheets, essentially welded together. (see image attachment)
One component is composed of land and bay areas, a single planar sheet where the edges are thin, and the central body is thickened.
I can get Inventor to treat the remaining multi-thickness, right angle components as midplane by going with separate bodies.
The top plate is a single planar sheet, and Inventor will not treat it properly as a mid-planed plate.
Will Inventor translate the constraints properly if I build the thin region separate from the central thicker region in order to produce feasible mid-planed mesh?
Question already posted by other in forum - using local control to develop multiple element thicknesses through cross section of plate (by thin face selection), one cannot verify that the smaller elements along the cross section are built properly through the entire component.
We are using 2011.I created a VBA tool that populates the FX Userparameters with a Thickness Variable..How do I set the Sheet Metal Rules Thickness to the new new FX UserParameter Thickness Variable?

Under Sheet Metal Defaults | Sheet Metal Rules | Sheet (Tab)
The Thickness entry should read "cab_thk"
I have an assembly in which the thickness of each of the layers in an assembly are generated from a part file that is split via a sketch. I use the Make Components tool to break the part into the individual layers, which also spits out an assembly.
Is there a way to push the thickness value of these parts that will update automatically if the thickness is changed in the parent part, in order to reference this property on the drawing?
In my title block I have a material section that pulls to iProperties from the model
One is material, which displays the material used in the model
and the other is manually input by me in the comments section of the model, I typically only use this field for sheet metal description, example, .125 Sheet Metal, this saves me from a drawing view to show thickness only.
In my sheet metal template I have checked the little box for the thickness model parameter so it will show up as a custom property - model.
So i can display the thickness parameter anytime the sheet metal base view is placed.
My issue is I want the thickness property to have the following with it "Sheet Metal"
But I only want this to appear if the base view is in fact sheet metal, all other parts and assemblies, this field would be blank,
So this is what I want when a sheet metal part is placed:
This is what I want to display when a part is placed:

Sheet Metal shows up because:
I am looking for a Rule that will only apply <Thickness> Sheet Metal to my title block only if the base view is in fact a sheet metal part. Is this possible??
