AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Delete Document Links And Embeddings
Apr 13, 2012
Using IV2012 SP1, I needed to generate a bracket that had has silkscreen graphics on it. So in the part file I started a sketch/insert image and using the decal command projected it onto the desired face. The image is a BMP file that is 5meg in size. It took me several attempt to get this right and all appears to be good. But upon completing this very simple part I noticed the file was 48meg! I went into “links” and I noticed that the BMP file was shown 7 times. The BMP file is showing “yes” under “resolved” for one instance and “no” for the other 6 instances. I can only “break link” one instance but can do nothing with the other. I’ve deleted the decal and stated over but it still shows up with the 7 instances.

I'm putting together some design specs and I want to create a clickable table of contents that will navigate to a different section of the document. IE. artboard #27
From what I've seen thus far it looks like I can add links but only to websites and they are only clickable in PDF mode.
Is it possible at the very least to make my clickable TOC when converting my document to a PDF? and, is it possible to make it clickable even if it is in .ai format?

changing the file path for links in an Illustrator document?
For example, let's say my Illustrator document is stored at: /Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/designs/concept1.ai
and I have placed 2 linked visuals:
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/big_retouch.psd
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
When I open the .AI I noticed that the reference to the visuals is under a %DocumentFiles section:
%%DocumentFiles:/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/retouc hed.psd
%%+/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
I need to replace "/Volumes/Storage/Projects" with "/Volumes/Projects". (There are some more complex replacements I need, but let's start here.)

I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format.
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process.
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour.
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.

I created many document presets whilst opening a new document, but I can't figure out how to delete them, nor can I find the folder in the preset folder.
I know it's something simple but just can't get it done. I'm on a windows 7 64 bit if it makes a diff.

I am working on Inventor 12, previously Inventor 10 and recently (approx 4 months ago while I was still on Inventor 10), all of a sudden, if I tried to open a drawing where components had been deleted for example, it would not try and resolve the links, just straight crash the program.

is it possible to restore an associative link? I have a model that is being run by ilogic rules and everytime i run the model a invisible part in the assembly is still visible in de drawing. i can manually restore this by RM-->subassembly--> representation--> and then switch it to associative again, but i want it to just do it automatically.
ia also tried to do it with de following code but it doesn't seem to have effect.
''------------------------------------------------ThisApplication = InventorVb.ApplicationDim oDoc As Document = ThisDoc.DocumentDim oCompDef As Inventor.ComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinitionDim oCompOcc As Inventor.ComponentOccurrenceFor Each oCompOcc in oCompDef.OccurrencesoCompOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default",True)NextRuleParametersOutput() ' use this before DocumentUpdateInventorVb.DocumentUpdate() ' Update now
it will run okay but the sub-assembly still doesn't switch to associative or it switches back after the update?
there must be a way to just simply put the associative link back on.
ps: in the .idw the associative link is enabled but the subassembly is missing his link to the main assembly.

I have a DWG with some links to images on. I would like to remove these links but am having a bit of a hard time.
See attached screenshot of the missing images.
I have tried to use 2 different macro's to remove these but it appears these are not OLE objects (which the macro's remove).
There is no delete menu item when you right click on the image like either.

I am running Inventor 2008 and have recently created a few models. All of the models I have created have been linked to external spreadsheets at the part and assembly levels. Everything for a complete model is in a single folder, the spreadsheet and all parts, assemblies and drawings. With my previous models I was taking the entire folder and copying it to new locations to make slightly different models. When I would do this all the links of the copied parts were pathing to the copied spreadsheet, not the original, which is what I want. With my most recent model the copied parts are still pathing to the original spreadsheet.
P.S.: I tried to get around this by doing a pack and go and ended up with the same issue.

I'm creating temp projects out the wazoo. There are so many unresolved projects that Inventor's window to "Click okay and stop searching for these projects window" is longer than my two widescreens can display stacked on top of each other in portrait view...
Is there any way to manually clear the projects list?

So I made a shop drawing of an assembly, which is very complex and took a great deal of time to complete. It has 3 sheets and a bunch of different views and information already on the drawing.
Now the thing is I took the assembly and made it an iassembly; but I did this in another file so I wouldnt screw up all the work I did before. Now I realize that I dont have the links to the shop drawing that I wish I did.
how to link the shop drawing to the new iassembly model?

In an object type Project I have a form with a button that calls another sub of the same form, the code looks something like this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click ()
'Set a Part Document as active document
Dim oDoc As Inventor.PartDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open ("C: Users oZteC Documents Inventor Experiment part1.ipt", True)
oDoc.Activate
'Call "ModelParameters" within the same form
Call ModelParameters
End Sub
____________________
Public Sub ModelParameters ()
....
End sub
I want to move the sub "ModelParameters" to the object type PartDocument, the problem is when I move it the call doesn't work.
I want to run something like this:
ApplicationProject> Form> ClickButton ----> call to ----> DocumentProject> ThisDocument> Sub

After I figured out how to delete a project (why not just have a delete button in the Project Dialog box) that I didn't want created in the first place (apparently some missed option in the pack&go process) I now cannot delete the incredibly convoluted wokspace folder structure it created.
I deleted the project shortcut as was posted somewhere else and it no longer shows up in the Project dialog box. However, the workspace it created cannot be deleted. I had even removed the workspace from the project before I got rid of it.
I simply get a windows error that it cannot delete the folder(s). I am an admin of this entire folder structure and everything beneath it.
I have opened and closed inventor making sure the project is still not in existence. I have verified the workspace is not listed under any other project. No other user has been to this folder or opened any files even closely related to my work.

Is it possible to make a document invisible after it´s open? I would like to keep it in memory but not reachable to the user.
Making the document view(s) invisible is not what I´m looking for. I need to clear/close/delete all views WITHOUT closing the document..
( So it has the same state as if opened through API with the visible parameter set to false, e.g. Document.VIews.Count = 0

I'm using VB Express. I have got an assembly file. I want to open all sub parts according to "Parts only" BOM. Because I want to open every part only one time. Because there can be many occurences of same part.
I want to open each part only one time and save as bitmap views...
Normally I use below code but it can open same files many time according to assembly type unfortunatelly.
Dim oRefDocs As DocumentsEnumerator
oRefDocs = invDocs.AllReferencedDocuments
For Each invDocument In oRefDocs
invDocument3 = invDocument2.Open(invDocument.FullDocumentName, True)
next

I'd hoped that I could change the name of a part document like I did with sketches, simply assignment:
BSTR bstrName ;pPartDoc->get_FullDocumentName (&bstrName) ;wprintf (L"
Full document name was %s
",wchar_t(bstrName)) ;pPartDoc->FullDocumentName = L"Whatever" ;
But the compiler complains about no put method on that last line.How do I change the name of a Part Document programatically?

I want to change the default precision shown in my drawing from two decimal places to three. In my .idw file the "Units" tab does not seem to be there. I see Standard, Sketch, Drawing, Sheet. I could change each dimension one by one, but there's got to be an easier way.

I have created a frame using the frame generator that I need to document. It is created using about 5 sketches. The sketches are part of their own .ipt file. Now I would like to document the frame but cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried creating sections of the frame but I cannot snap to points of interest on the frame, such as where two pipes meet, when dimensioning. How do I document the sketches?

I'm simply trying to delete the revision table if it exists on a drawing. I did find where you can't do anything with Rev Tags with the API, but what about the Actual Revision Table?
Trying to get this to work;
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")>0Dim oRevTable as RevisionTableoRevTable = ActiveSheet.Sheet.RevisionTable.Item(1) oRevTable = nullRevisionTable

I made a sketch attached to a drawing view, in it made a hatch. I closed the sketch and the file.
Opened again, after days, activated the sketch, selected the hatch, it turned red, pressed delete but it didn't disappear. Also on the right click there is no delete option.
When i select the hatch and it turns red, when i press delete or right click it turns green.
It is strange that when the sketch is closed and i select it in the browser i see the other lines of the sketch in red, but not the hatch.
