I want add the Z Aixs for every sectioned component in a sectiondrawing view?
But I can't judge the component section status?
Is there have the API for this work?
OR:
Note In an assembly view, components can be excluded from sectioning. In the browser, right-click the component to exclude, and then select None.
How to achieve the above functions Use API?

Is Section Participation of a component accessible via the API?
It can be controlled locally with respect to a view in a drawing, or via document settings for the file itself ( so it would always be excluded). I'm hoping it's available in either of those two areas of the API.
I'm in the process of creating an exploded view of an assembly. I'm having to do this in a presentation file, and I was wondering if it was possible to section one of the parts in the exploded view. To be more specific, I have the majority of my parts spread out around another assembly in the center of the page. I want to get a three quarter section view of the center assembly so the internals are visible. Is this possble from within a presentation file and if so, how can it be done?

The polar opposite is actually true, we had too much downtime encountering, analyzing and reporting product defects, and it affected profitability and capability.

We are having an issue when we replace a component in Inventor Pro 2012. When we replace a component, the name in the browser does not update to the new component. We've even tried to close and re-open the Inventor assembly and that does not work. We end up manual double clicking the name in the browser and type in the new component name.

II need a way to tell if a component occurence is a virtual component.
I'm using a For Each loop to cycle through all of the components in an assembly, and if the component is itself an assembly to set the LOD to "Custom". I'm using the definition document descriptor object for this. It all woks fine until the loop comes across a virtual component which doesn't have a definition document, so I need a way to check if the component is virtual and needs to be skipped.Here's the
Option ExplicitImports Inventor.LevelOfDetailEnumSub MainiLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueDim doc As AssemblyDocumentDim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentationDim oAsmCompDef As ComponentDefinitionDim oComp As ComponentOccurrenceDim oComps As ComponentOccurrencesdoc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf.

I am trying to make port rims for pipes that can be swapped in and out of an assembly. However, the ports will all be different sizes and located differently so I need the cut to be part of the port rim component, but affect the entire assembly it is part of. I've been trying to get this to work for the better part of a day now,Here's a picture of what im talking about. I'm running Inventor 2008 by the way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly which has a few components suppressed.
My end results is another copy of the assembly (with copies of the all the parts) in another directory
Now i am able to create copies of un-suppressed parts using; (this allows me to SaveAs assembly components which are not suppressed)
DocumentsEnumerator = ThisDoc.Document.AllReferencedDocuments
And save a copy of the assembly using
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs
I also added the fllowing snippet (which I am not sure what is does), but it does not work for me
Component.SkipDocumentSave = true
When I open the newly created assembly, I still see the suppressed components in the model browser
I want to either;
Skip saving the of the components in the model browser (i.e. the Assembly)
OR
Delete the suppressed parts in the Assembly, so that they do not save altogether

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open a file in Inventor a dialog box comes up that says "Updating file status from vault". In most cases it is not a big deal, but when an 1000+ part assembly is opened this box flashes for each part in the assemly causing a delay in opening the file. Needless to say this is very annoying. So my questions are what is this doing exactly and can I turn it off?

I have a sketch that Inventor changes its status between under constrained, over constrained, and fully constrained depending on dimensions (makes sense), and wether I rebuild the model (WTF?).
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open the attached .ipt file.
2) Examine Sketch11 (under Face3) It should be fully constrained.
3) Exit the sketch. Open the parameters dialog and change the value of "angle" from 45 to 60. (If you get an error message change it to 50 first, then 60. It's a work in progress.)
4) Re-examine Sketch11. It is now under constrained.
5) Exit the skecth and go to the manage tab. Click "Rebuild All".
6) Re-examine Sketch11. It is now fully constrained.
7) Scratch your head and post back with your theory.
I have a ipt file in my assembly and try to makes some constraints. Everything ios working well, but there are some suppressed workplanes, and I don't want to use them for a automatically created constraint. Is there a way to find out the workplane suppress status?
Why are they suppressed? They are defined on a part feature (extrusion surface). And when I supress that feature, also the Workplane is suppressed.
But I only can get the visible status. Maybe there's a way to get it about the part feature, but therefore, I have to search for the part feature, and that's also a problem. I cannot get the part feature, who is used for the workplane definition (I think, it's a problem of my knowledge )
Please see attached a small view on the browser where you can see the suppressed Planes.
I´m working on an addin that needs the vaultAddin ( Inventor Vault / InventorVault.dll ) to update it´s vaultinfo via API.
Since the vaultaddins browserpane.control is an activeX control I can´t access it, and the addin has not implemented a hook to the browserpane.refresh() or browserpane.update() ( causes a crash )
So how do I refresh the vaultAddins information on "what´s actually going on in the vault" through API ?
It seems like I "just" need a reference to the same eventhandler the "refresh vault status" button is calling, but that might be wishfull thinking..?

I am looking to check the hiddenline status of a part in a drawing. The drawing is made from an assembly. I dont want to take all the segments from the view and check for each of them. I want a way I can just grab the entities that are made from an occurence.
I was hopping to use the drawingcurve(modelobject), but I dont know what to use as the modelobject! is it the edge, edges, component definition... Here some of the code that is not working.
Dim _portePattern As OccurrencePattern = oassbly.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencePatterns.Item("Pattern Porte")
Dim _PoigneeOcc As ComponentOccurrence
Dim _PorteOcc As ComponentOccurrence
Dim PatEle As OccurrencePatternElement
Dim _poigneeDef As ComponentDefinition
Dim _poigneeSFbody As SurfaceBody
Dim _poigneeEdges As Edges

View 4 Replies View RelatedAny way to modify a user form parameter's read only status using a rule?
I have a parameter that I want people to be able to edit when another parameter is set to true and to be locked if it's set to false. The only thing that comes to mind is have a rule that will just switch the value back automatically if the user changes it but it would be good if i could control the read only status.
I am trying to use a shared project with my other colleagues. Problem we are having that we are not getting into how to change the File Check in/out Status (option is disabled/greyed) . Do we required administrative rights to do that?
Note: We don't have vault.
I have an iLogic controlled assembly with sub assemblies that are also iLogic controlled. The main assembly calculates some lengths and turns some subs on and off and then updates all the subs. The subs also calculate some lengths and turn some parts on and off. I have a rule in both the main assembly and copies in the subs that control the LOD to make sure that it's set to custom before anything else runs.
Now I may be misunderstanding something, but it appears that it's possible to have a sub assembly set to one LOD but be referenced in a top level assembly as a different LOD. In other words I have a sub that shows in the top level browser as Master. If I open this sub and set it from within the sub to custom LOD and switch back to the top level assembly it is still set to master there. It appears that this is what my LOD rule is also doing, setting it to custom in the sub but not changing the top level reference.
What I am trying to do is insert a part into an assembly file using iLogic. I basically want to mimic Inventor’s “Place” command using ilogic, maybe something like this:
oPath = ThisDoc.Path & ""
oFile = "File.ipt"
Component.Place(oPath & oFile, False)
When we do DWG we may have more than one Assembly on one individual DWG. When going to put the weights on the DWG through the text/Physical Property insert yadayada it keeps referring back to the original assembly. Even after changing which component we want the info to be drawn from, it refers back to the original? Are we not doing this right? Program glitch?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy office procedures dictate that when we place a content center part that we do so "as custom" for several reasons that are irrelevant to this question (I can expound if needed).
My question is: If I have an assembly with a content center part that is placed "as custom" and I use the component replace tool (CTRL+h) to replace it with another content center part that has already been created and placed "as custom" in another file, how come I get a new CC component that is not the one I selected?
It appears that I am getting a CC part from the same family as the original when what I need is the component to be replaced with the one I am selecting.
In other words: when I say replace "this" with "that", how come I get something else entirely? This functionality works perfectly on non-CC parts.

I'm using replace on a sub assembly but want to write a parameter change to all the parts in the sub assembly as & when they appear.
An error occurs when I try to write a parameter to a part which isn't in the sub assembly - makes sense but how do work around this?
First try was this:
If Component.IsActive("SS_12.5mm Insln:1") = True Then Parameter("SS_12.5mm Insln:1", "Material") = Insulation
but "SS_12.5mm Insln:1" isn't here (by design) - I want a Component.Exists type comand - possible?
How to do it?
I am using Inv/Vault Pro 2011.
