AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get BOM Of Item Leader Is Attached To
Nov 4, 2013
I have a sketchedsymbol with leaderline. How can I get the BOM of the item this is attached to? I don't see any referenced way to do this. I assume it's possible because a balloon can get this info.
The full extent of what I want to do is to create a split balloon symbol. The top portion of the balloon with hold the detail number, the botton half will hold a user prompted text entry.

This is the part i understand. the part that is confusing is when I try to rotate the attributes arount the square, how to i keep the leader attached to the square, and still look like a correct leader?

I would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?

Is there a way to have the Arrow leader convert to Loop leader in one click. Our company standards use diamond tags and sometimes i have to change the arrow to loop by inserting a leader.

C3D 2012 running with 64 bit Win7 all up to date on a capable Dell Precision
I want to add the leader part to the leader that is created when I drag a Station Offset label. This would be the part in a three point leader that goes horizontal for a short distance before the label text begins, similar to how a multi-leader is created. Looks weird having the C3D labels be the only "leadered" noted be without the landing.

I've used the transitional constraints with good results but unfortunatley the cams are moving all over the place when I try to move them by dragging with the mouse and not very stable.
I'm trying to animate a couple of bodies along a path with a workpoint that will move the assembly at the beginning created using a rectangular array along the path. I have a UJ in the middle of the bodies attaching them together. As I change the distance of the rectangular array it will move the first body as expected. How I constrain the other body to follow along the path with the ride points as labeled?
I've trieds almost everything I think. Should I use dynamics to simulate this? I don't have the dynamic installed however is there a way I can get ahold of a test version so I can test this?

When I create part .ipt directly in assembly .iam, I can make it adaptive. I'm doing the projection of geometry. Detail goes adaptive. Geometry appears as a link.
But if I put in the assembly finished parts or remove part created in the assembly, and then insert it back, the adaptability of parts did not get to create. Then the projection geometry inserts usual nonadaptive geometry without reference.
Can I make a finished part adaptive, without creating a component at the place in this assembly?

We have 13 machines that are identical hardware and software; Windows 7 and the Autodesk Product Design Suite 2012 as well as the Vault 2012 Client. Two of these machines are exhibiting the following behavior: Connected to our LAN with access to the internet not loading Vault on startup Inventor loads in 68 seconds.Disconnected from our LAN with no access to the internet not loading Vault on startup Inventor loads in <10 seconds. I have tested this with our AV turned on and off with no changes in the above noted behavior. These two machines loaded Inventor 2011 in repsectable times ~<30 seconds.
Now this tells me that when Inventor is loading it is trying to go somewhere when there is a network connection. But where and what can I do to make it stop?

I want to create a structure using the attached part geometry, what would be the best way to make the crosses coincident with the two long columns? (just like the 2 at the top but without having to manually trim each line, if it could be constrained to variable parameters even better)
The structure has the same geometry on all four sides so i intend to circular patern the frame generator components around the Z axis, any better workflows?

Normally I use two monitors, but I'm travelling. Because I last placed the extrude box on my other monitor I can no longer get access to it on the only screen I have left. Normally, as with any window, you could hit Alt+Space and M but....the blasted mini-toolbar takes focus first!! It seems that all the other menus don't have this, only extrude. Is there any way to reset menus when disconnecting? There really should be. I'd say that the program ought to know that there is only one monitor connected and respond accordingly.

I'm trying to create a content center part with a decal attached to the model. The problem I am facing it that the decal is not adjusting in size when the ipt is placed from the content center. The decal does adjust in the original ipt.

The objective is to section a part, selecting a center of the hole (side view, not top view) to attach the section line.
In the hole's top view we can select the center hole to attach the section view, but in the side view, i can´t find any attach point, even if i have a center line.
I know we can edit the section line later and create some construction lines to center the section line with the hole, but i wonder, there's a better process, more automatic, to achieve this?

In our company if we put a component in 5 different assemblies, we want that component to have the same item number no matter where it is in the parts list. In addition we group components to have a special item number... Meaning hardware like washer, bolts, and etc. to start with 500 series number.. Piping components would be 800 series...
Is there a way to do this in ILOGIC/VB?

Recently upgraded to 2014 and now anytime I add leaders to a point inside a view, the leader disappears. If I move the start point to the outer extremity, then it shows up fine.

In an .idw I can add a leader with text and by simply leaving the text editor empty I can create a 'blank arrow'.
However, my nice arrow has an annoying dogleg reference line on the end of it. Is there anyway I can get rid of the reference line, without the chew of creating a sketched symbol or creating a new style??
I've added a screenshot to explain it a little clearer.

I am using "Attach Text to Leader" to add information about ballooned items to the balloon leader. The same information is needed for each balloon leader as shown below.
<COMPANY>, <DESCRIPTION>
<PART NUMBER>
I would like to just copy the fields from the first "Attach to Leader Text" and paste them in the subsequent "Attach to Leader Text" instances, instead of picking the "Type" and "Property" from the pull down lists for each of the three property I want to access, each time I place a "Attach to Leader Text" .
The problem is the fields in the subsequent Attach to Leader Text pasted instances do not automatically link to iProperties on the ballooned item? how to automate this procedure/

Ever since updating to the latest service pack I can no longer copy and paste leaders inside a drawing.
I used to be able to set up the leader I wanted and then copy and paste to all the parts I wanted to assign it to but I can't paste anymore.
I am using the iproperties data within the text box..

How can a second leader be attached to a weld symbol? I tried RMB on the symbol and choosing "Add Vertex Leader". This only put in another vertex and not a leader.

Adding a leader by checking a box when inserting a sketched symbol. My problem is regarding the leader start point. Can we change the justification of the leader or text, so it does not finish centered on my text? I want the leader to connect outside the text box to correspond to our presentation standards.

I created a hatched sketch on one of my views to represent filler material. I want to balloon to this hatched area, but it want grab it. I have the filler material setup as a custom part. I can also create a sketched symbol for this, but it doesn't appear that they would accept it either.

There a few dodgy things goign on with my BOM.
I imported a BOM style from another drawing that worked fine, but when I edited the names of teh columns it broke everything again.
THere's a few thigns wrong.
There's no item numbers.
It says the QTY is incompatible units????
And there's teh funny table like icon with an arrow pointing to it with my parts highlighted blue. What does this mean?
Again, everything was fine until I changed the names of the columns and changing the naems back doens't fix it.

When create assembly, i placed 3 parts in order: A.ipt, B.ipt, C.ipt
And ofcourse the item number will be:
A is 1
B is 2
C is 3
this number will be the same in: item colum (in BOM table), ballon (in 2D drawing).
The problem is: i want to change this number,
A will be 2
B will be 1
C will be 3 when i ballon the part in 2D
I've used "renumber" in BOM, but it just change value in "item" colum (in BOM table), not change in "ballon" (in 2D drawing).
