AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Mark Object's Original Position On Autodesk Publisher
Sep 11, 2012
I have created a model on autocad which I have imported into autodesk inventor publisher...for my project I have to simulate an object's assembly and subsequent dissassembly. But to begin with my model is assembled so i have exploded it and now I want to put it back together - however I can't get the program to remember the position each component was originally in so when i try and move each component back it's all over the place and looks awful. Is there a way to mark an object's intial location so that i can move it back to exactly that place?

My supervisor needs to view the autodesk inventor designs (I create) in his PC without installing the whole inventor package. Its something like using eDrawings to view designs created with solidworks.

I drop multiple photos into Photoshop then drag one at a time away from the tab bar in order to place these photos onto one layered image. I can do this but the photo I have dragged down remains positioned where i dragged it to and cant be freely moved to another part of the screen. It springs back like its on a rubber band. This is a problem when I wish to close the floating window and don't have the top right close button visible.
I have to return it to the tab top bar in order to open it then close the window. I previous versions of PS this was not a problem and now requires all these extra steps to solve. Its very frustrating when I have to work like this all day. I have PS CS6 on MS WIN7. Is there a preference selection I can make. I want to make photoshop windows behave like MS windows and remain where I drag them to.

I'm want to drag an objects anchor and have the position co-ordinates offset by opposite amounts so it doesn't appear to move postioin on screen. IS there a tool for that?

1. i can't snap to cue mark. When having a lot of cue mark and long duration of edit. I have to really zoom in to frame level to be able to place my positioner at the exact frame to delete cue mark. What if for example , i have to delete 30 cue mark ? Snap will be handy to place positioner to delete cue mark.
2. Is it possible in smoke to place/add cue mark at a selected clip ? right now i can only place it at timeline , not at the clip.

When I park on a frame in the timeline, using the hotkey MarkOut places the outpoint 1 frame later in the sequence. The same thing happens when using the MarkOut button.

How do I set the position (i.e. move) and object relative to another object?
Specifically, I am using Architecture 2013. I have two parallel walls. How do I set the distance of one relative to the other? I know I can measure the distance, calculate an offset, and move one by that offset. But there must be an easier way?

I have a 2D plan and a 3D plan. The data is essentially the same on both, the only difference being that the 2D plan has several hundred points on it (all at elevation/z coordinate of 0, of which can easily be copied to the 3D plan).
I want to move those 2D points to their respective 3D positions. I.e. if point X is at coordinates 15213.321, 51646.632, 0 I would like to search in the Z direction above (or below; although in this data set it would always be above) for any object (line, polyline, 3dpolyline or an arc only I think) that crosses or is on this coordinate and then move the point (or place a new point) to that z coordinate. So if there is a line whose z value is 895.265 at coordinate 15213.321, 51646.632, then the point (that was originally 2D) would become 15213.321, 51646.632, 895.265.
Any lisp or other method in AutoCad that could accomplish this (ideally without having to select each point individually)? Surely this must have come up a few times before although I'm not too sure what search words to be using to look for info.

For some reason I can't edit the "Position Z" when I created a 3D object via extrusion. How can I do this?

I have attached it (AutoCAD R2014). I have placed several object fields in this drawing (for blocks, even a node), and asked for an x position. I got one, but they are all slightly off.

Smoke is good for us, we like true 3d environment. Smoke is all in one solution, but we missing Particle system and camera tracker. And how we composite position pass from 3d package in smoke?

In old versions of smoke when I load a source area back to my desktop I am able to select whether I want my clips 'tiled' 'stacked' or loaded back to 'saved position'. Where has this option gone in 2013. I have made a project put all my artwork into a source area in a nice logical way then wired this source area to another project and it just tiles my clips.
I am just missing the dropdown menu somewhere that allows me to leave it as it was originally saved!

SO difficult to see the text change and determine if it is at the right angle when the original text is still there.
How can I only display the new "Rotating Text" without the "Original Position" text.

When I want to move an object a certain distance from the original location, I go to long winded trouble of drawing a line and attaching it to say, for example, the centre of a circle. Then MOVE the circle, selecting the base line as the centre to the end of the LINE using OSNAP.
Is this how you Pro's do it, I'm guessing not.

I got a clip imported with cache ON. So it's transcoded into stone and not linked to original file. When i check the file info, there's no path to original file, so i don't know where is the source path. I put that clip on timeline, and press 'pre-processing' button, i got error msg : 'cannot find the original media'. How can i fix this since the clip's info itself shows no track to the original file.
Actually, i know where the location of the original clip is. It's in one of my external drive, if i reconnect the drive then it will fix the error.

Is there a way to subtract and object but it doesn't erase the original object?
I have a way of doing this by copying an object and placing it in the original position. Than subtract a single object leaving the copy of the object behind.
I wondered if there is a way to accomplish this with less steps.

Is there any way to dig through the discreet folders and possible find the new cursor icon and replace it with the old one? I found a flame artist who could change his batch and action nodes, If he could do this it shouldn't be to hard to change just the cursor, right?

In the expression editor, is it possible to get the position of an object at a different time ?
For example, we are at time 100, and I would like to get a given object's position when we were at time 50. Is it possible?

is there a way to get position of any selected object? It seems like normally you have to dive into specific item like textFrames to get position, but was curious if there was a generic way of doing this for selected objects.

So, I finally got a 3d solid part published with the one attachement point (autodeskconnectionpoint). Looks great in object viewer with a pipe connected to it. However, put it in profile, and my 8' tall item shows like 1.5ft tall.
content file available, though this won't let me attach it?

My drawings contain active linework, civil 3D data (contours, etc.), and references.When a plot is executed without the publisher - everything appears normal. Specifically, all contours appear on plots and PDFs.
However, when plotting using the AutoCAD publisher (to batch many plots together, 70 or so plan sheets in 4 drawings) some Civil 3D data does not appear. Most contours are shown - however contours from a specific surface (existing ground surface) do not appear.
The publisher result is the same whether using a PDF driver or physical plot driver - these contours do not appear.
The style used to display the existing contours is used on other surfaces within the plot set - and oddly these contours appear on the publisher plot. However, no contours from this specific existing ground surface will display using the PUBLISHER.
Are there alternative ways to batch plot a set of drawings that I can explore without further cost?

I'm trying to migrate from AutoCAD into Inventor while maintaining my companies standards - and I need to change the way section marks show.
Is there a way to create a custom section mark routine (in AutoCAD it was a LISP routine) to make section marks as shown in the attached picture?
In the AutoCAD version, it took 3 clicks, and then prompted for text inputs - 1st was the end of the line with the circle, 2nd was the other end of the line, and 3rd was the direction of the section. Then there are 2 text prompts - first the section label, then the sheet humber.
Is this possible to do in Inventor? I figured out how to make the circles with prompted text but can't figure out how to make the lines and arrows to go with it without being fixed length and position.

Im trying to wire an object's Z position to a custom attribute. I've frozen transforms, but whenever i wire the zero euler Z position to the attribute, when i control the attribute, i notice that my object is moving relative to world, and not to its position.
I want to move it along its own Z axis, not world axis.

i am trying to add CV curves to a scene that I already created.
whenever I draw the curve in side view, it is actually nowhere near the object that I wanted it to be near. Its like super far away and im not sure how to move it to the right spot.
Is there some method to add the curve based on a position of an object?

When I bring in a custom content center part or extrude a part I make, I always like to type it as LENGTH=24, thereby creating a parameter called length (instead of d0 or whatever it wants to call it). I then mark it as "export" manually so it shows up in my "custom parameters" tab on my iProperties. I do stuff with that exported parameter in my drawings. Is there a way to make it automatically export?
Or another approach, if I do LENGTH=24, is there an AUTOMATIC way (iLogic, etc) to make a new custom property, also called "LENGTH" that equals the LENGTH parameter?

Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?
I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........
What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other. I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.
Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process. It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.
