AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Detect File Relationships
Oct 5, 2012
I am using Inventor 2008. When deleting a part from the project, even if that part is not in the assembly, I still cannot open the assembly because it is pointing a link is missing. I cannot detect what is the relationship between the part and the assembly. In design assistant, the part is referenced by another part but I cannot see what is the relationship in order to remove it.
I am working with my view reps in my assembly and every time I change, or lock one, the stupid Relationships folder expands $%*#@. any way to prevent this?
Now Inventor allows users to create relationships with Joint or Constrain/Assemble commands. Both of these methods let the creation of Positional Representation, but when animating them in Inventor Studio, only animations created with Pos Reps from constraints work. Animated Pos Reps created with joints don't work at all.
Is this a bug? Will this problem be fixed soon (with SP, Updates or any Hotfix), or would it be fixed in the next release?
I tried to slice a solid after a quite complex surface and received this error.
"The Boolean operation on solid and/or surface bodies failed.Modeling Operation Error: Inconsistent face-body relationships.SLICE failed for selected solid."
What I have tried:I up-scaled the surface-solid ensemble by 10x but it didn't work(same error)
I extruded that complex,multi-plane surface and then sliced it with a horizontal plane and got the desired solid BUT:I would like to know what the cause of that problem was and how it can be solved so that I can slice that solid following that surface.
I am looking for a program that detects cheating with auto-cad? Ex. Copying one persons drawing and calling it their own. I know Universities and other technical schools have such a program.
I have an array of co-ordinates (List A) from a polyline. I have one of the co-ordinate (B) from a polyline which is located around the array of co-ordinates of the other polyline (List A).
I want to detect the co-ordinate in List A which is closest to co-ordinate (B).
Known co-ordinates would be,
1. Array of co-ordinates 2. the reference co-ordinate.
Any way to detect of there are objects currently selected using Autolisp, visual lisp or even VBA. I would like to be able to do something using that as a conditional, so that (assuming the hypothetical variable isSelected is an on/off indicator of whether or not something is selected) I can code something like this:
I want to code this lisp. The problem which I face is, In some drawings which come from the client, there are a lot of blocks.
I want to detect the blocks which has no sub-entities (but attribute) and add a rectangle inside this block, If it is an attribute add a line from 0,0, to insertpoint of attribute.
I need ot append events when the dimstyle is change using the AutoCAD dimstyle popup list, but don't know which reactoer to use. I tried with Comman begin and end, and Sysvawill change and changed, but they don't detect the dimstyle changes.
I would like to detect view change (especially when orbiting the view around) to automatically reposition table-like(block) entity such that the user can always see the face of the entity.
I figured out that there is viewChanged event in AcEditorReactor, but it doesn't seem like it is visible in .NET.
I am trying to write a script that will automatically hatch several drawings. The drawings contain an area in which there are several objects that need to be hatched. For each drawing the objects vary in location within the one area.I figured I would set up my script to encompass the area with the object select hatch technique. This works fine if the objects in the area have no Islands. However when an object within the "object select hatch area" contains Islands it shades the whole object ignoring the Island or if it does recognize an island it will create an individual hatch for it.
However when I use the pick internal point method the hatch comes out as expected for the object with the Islands in it.
I'm putting together a simple lisp routine to issue bound, purged drawings.
I have code that will do the binding & purging but need handling the saving.
This is my approach :
(1) ask the user to save the drawing using this line (command "_saveas" "" "~")
(2) run a subroutine that binds xrefs etc (this works ok)
(3) run the QSAVE command
Trouble is, if the user cancels or hits escape during the SAVEAS command the subroutine & QSAVE will still run, overwriting the current drawing. How do I handle this scenario? Or should my appoach be different?
Admitting first that AI is my least fav of the Suite.. I should have found this by now. I used to use Direct Select and get a handy info on the toolbar showing me DPI/PPI in placed graphics. I just got an image from a client and am looking for this feature.... Where can I find and add it to my toolbar?
How can I get both the 32 and 64 bit versions of CS6 to detect my graphic processor (AMD Radeon HD7700) for GPU usage in Win 7 ? Cuiurently, it is only seen in 64 bit.
yesterday i was watching the news , and they talk about images photoshopped and they named a software able to detect if an image is photoshopped..i don't remember exactly the name of the software but is something like full match (i'm almost sure about match"
I have a few questions i just downloaded the demo version
1) how do i set it up to auto detect chapters in corel video studio x5 2) i am trying to burn dvd from a sony ccd - trv43 camcorder what are the best setting to use to burn the dvd .
I tried to test the recording feature.......i made a few tests but finally i saw that when i wanted to have voice in my recording.....wasn' possible and a message appears (no audio system detect.........) I am wondering why appeared this message and how i can recording audio also in my video?
I am using Photoshop CC with Windows 7 64-bit and all plugins have issues detecting my internet connection. When trying to use them, an error message pops up saying "No internet connection detected." I am connected to the internet, am able to connect to Adobe servers, and am not using a firewall or connecting through a proxy server. I have checked my plugin settings in preferences to make sure plugins are allowed to use connections, and have tried editing the registry values in Windows to make sure that all Adobe products automatically connect to the internet, but still have had no luck. Plugins I am trying to use are Kuler and Subtle Patterns (a third party plugin).
I have a Sony vaio notebook with an intern Intel hd graphics 4000 and an additional geforce gt 640m LE graphic card with 2 GB. PS CC can't detect my nvidia card. In PS at the settings -> performance menu there is no nvida card to select, I just can select the intern graphic card at the moment if it's activated.
nvidia driver are up2date. Also have this settings done, but has no effect:
I was wondering if there is any way to detect and define edges of the slabs and also the opening within the slab, or if there is any way to automatically detect slab’s openings in Autodesk Revit (Structure, Architecture or MEP)
In other words what is important for me is to select boundary lines which shape the slab and openings (if there is any) not the mass.
The problem occurs since the GIMP requires GTK+ version >= 2.24.7 (Around November 25).
Currently I have to date the latest versions from Git of babl, gegl and GIMP. Gtk +-2.24.8, glib-2.31.2, pango-1.29.5.In Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Configure Extended Input Devices only shows "Core Pointer". Do not show my mouse or my Genius tablet, which before the version I had mentioned they appeared and everything worked.
In Gimp 2.6 everything works tooI tried deleting the ~/.Gimp-2.7/ folder but the new generated "device.rc" file only shows "Core Pointer".My distribution is Kubuntu Oneiric 11.10 64bit.xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core = 1.10.4
