AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Setup Access On Library
Nov 20, 2013
I was put in charge of modifying The commun library of our content center. Later today, i found out that one of our draftmen played around our library and modifying some of the preset that i setup.
My question is: What can be done to limit access (Putting it at Read-only) to certain library for certain users without limiting my own access?
Also, I'm pretty sure its not possible but ill ask anyway, is it possible to know who modify those library and when?
I'm using Vault
Inventor Version: 2014 SP1
Config : Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5506 @ 2.13 GHz, 24 GB, 64bit win7

I want to present additional information on my drawings, whether in notes or some other form depending on whether it is a part or assembly drawing. The information I want to get access to is included in the material library and comes from the material Physical tab > Information section > Source, Subclass, Type, & Name.
Is the material library information accessible this way?

In our drawing office we use Inventor in a mining materials handling environment. Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?
We use IV 2013 Professional on Windows 7 64 bit.

Why Paint.NET Setup is trying to access the Internet?
What are you sending to 208.112.13.16?
In your EULA it doesn't say that it needs to.

I've been using autocad 2012 student version and all the blocks I've used in my dwgs up until now, is blocks I created myself or blocks that I get from someone else. Now, I've been told that autocad comes with a library of blocks in plan and elevation view. How do I access them?

I now have Two Macs next to each other. The older one is a MacBook Pro, the new one the new iMac.
Now, I have my Lightroom Library on the older computer, but I would like to have the same one with the same settings on the new iMac. But, when I need to, I would also like to keep the same one on the MacBook for when I'm working out of office.
How can I fix this, and can my Dropbox Pro 200 GB account?

When I attempt to access "page setup" the button just changes color to blue as I click it. I cannot select the media. The printer works fine from Preview but not from CS5. Epson says it's a Photoshop problem.

I use a QNAP Network Attached Storage as the home for LR library so that a number of computers in the house can access the same files and various other DLNA clients can do slideshows on partcular directories if we want.
This is great when we are on our home network, but if I want to work on an image in LR while I am away from home I have to remember to make local copies (to my laptop HD) in advance.
I have a static IP and can access the required directories and files through a browser or VPN when I'm away from home. I was wondering if it's possible to give LR the web address of the directory I want to use as my library so that my photos are available to me anywhere so long as I have a web connection?

My battery was dying on my Macbookpro and I decided to cancle the backup of lightroom before it did. However, it shutdown before the the program cancled. Now lightroom wont load the library because it says it is read only. Here are the erorr mesages i recieved . I already know it was a dumb thing to do; just looking for solutions now. I had a lot of work on there about 16000 pictures. Here are the dialogs I am geting. My Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews.lrdata seems to be the right size it's 11.1 GB

I have imported multiple photos in the VSP photo library. Some photos are fine. They can be added to the project with no problem. A couple of photos when I try to move them to the project or right click for properties, VSP locks up with an unspecified error and creates a dump file. Then the program shuts down.
I have deleted the photos from the 15.0 directory and am able to delete problem photos from the library. Tried to import photos as a media file and it imports some photos ok and same photos lock up VSP x5.The issue seems to be with certain photos but I have not been able to find anything different with working photos so far.

I just bought my first Apple gear. iMac and iPads for family. I downloaded some photos to the iMac via iPhoto and tried to allow other users to share the library. This caused major headaches. Prompts to repair permissions constantly appeared, even after permissions were changed. After a visit to the Apple store for a One to One session, it seems that the OS cannot provide this simple functionality (in windows I simply changed folder permissions and it all worked, access granted).
In OSX 10.9 I have to create a disk image, move the library there and add tweaks to auto mount the disk image volume on startup;I just bought my first Apple gear. iMac and iPads for family.

I have a NAS for backups, so buying another external HD I don't need is a waste of money. Surely there must be a simpler way for all users of our iMac to have access to the photo library. I thought it would be a simple folder permission issue.
Would using Lightroom instead of iPhoto to download and organize my photos and videos solve the problem or is the problem due to the way OS 10.9 works? Would Lightroom provide the same quick sharing functionality with links to Facebook and local email apps etc?

I am working with Cs6 (Windows 7). I am trying to apply a gradient fill to an object, but don't know how to get the swatches to show colors. All I have is graytones. How do I load the color swatches? I do have the gradients and swatches open in the tools panel, but the swatches is just empty.

After finally running out of space on my computer I've shifted my photo library onto an external hard drive. I did this outside of lightroom as I did not expect there to be too many complications
There is a general folder named "Photos" and within are the sub folders for the photos. I did a simple drag and drop from my computer to the hard drive and expected Lightroom to simple show the new directory in the folder panel.
What would be the simplest way to re-access the files since moving them to the new hard drive?

Is there a way to set up the BOM in the assembly file to show the top assembly as a line item with all it's children (and their children) listed underneath?

I am just playing with iLogic forms and I have set a slider to move a part in 15 degree steps from 90 to 180 degrees, all is fine but the slider is on the left for 90 degrees and on the right for 180 degrees, I would like it to be able to be set so that 180 is on the left of the slider and 90 is on the right of the slider. is this possible?

When we use the Productivity/Add Assembly functionality, it produce a Weldment Assembly instead of a Standard Assembly.
How do we change the setup to use a Standard Assembly?

I'm having a difficult time finding exactly how I set up the parts list table. I'm thinking that I must have the wrong terminology when searching.
A background on exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I am a cabinet maker and have made the final decision to use Inventor for my design program. I'm taking the self learning method and I get most of it, I feel like I'm on the edge of a breakthrough, but I seem to be stuck on the parts list and getting the information I need.
For a basic example, a shaker door. It has 5 parts; 2 stiles, 2 rails and a flat panel. I need to have the dimensions pop up in the parts list for all my pieces. Just basic length, width, depth, dado, etc. I guess that I felt it would be a piece of cake to configure Inventor, but for the life of me, I cannot find the information I need to go from a part file to shop drawings with dimensions and details.
I also need to make sure that I can get the driven dimensions to show up, since the rails (to the best of my knowledge) have to have driven dimensions. I assume that this is possible.
What I am trying to accomplish is something like what cabinet vision produces for documents. I chose inventor for the flexibility of design since I do some unusual things with cabinetry and cabinet vision just can't handle it.

I have a folder under libraries in my project setup where I plan to keep my library parts. Once there the parts are read only. my questions is should I not have them there. I cannot modify then if i need to and if I copy it out to change it they do not update in the library.
What is the best way about setting up libraries in my project setup?

I'm trying to set up a sliding/no separation contact within and assembly for FEA purposes. I want to eliminate all moments (torque) between two pieces while still allowing one to impart force on another. When evaluating constraints, I'm seeing moments are infect being passed through. The guide mentions this contact for planer and cylindrical objects but makes no reference to spherical surfaces.
Is it possible to accomplish this type of a contact on spherical surfaces?

I am trying to write a small standalone app in C# that I can run when I have an assembly document open. I want the app to iterate through all the parts in the assembly and set the iproperties. I am having some trouble accessing the iproperties however.
I want (for example) to set the "TITLE" in the "DOCUMENT SUMMARY INFORMATION" to be a concatenation of the part number and the description separated by a " - ".how to access these properties.

My company has an excel program that extracts data from AutoCAD title blocks, processes it, turns it into printable spradsheet BOM's, and uploads the data to our ERP software. We're currently starting a transition form AutoCAD to Inventor. I've been asked to figure out how to make our excel program work with Inventor.
I'm hoping (but not expecting) to be able to change some lines around in the section that deals with extracting data and get it to work that way. I'm pretty sure of what needs to change, but I'm not so sure what it needs to change to. Does anyone know of any resources that someone who just started programming a couple weeks ago (me) could look at to learn more about how Inventor interfaces with VBA?
The other possible route I see is to export drawings from Inventor into AutoCAD.
The excel program reads block attributes. I've read that Inventor's version of attributes is prompted entry text, however, when I export Inventor drawings with prompted entry text lines that match the attribute lines from the old AutoCAD block they come in different. They're not editable inside of AutoCAD and the excel program doesn't see them. I haven't the slightest idea what's happening here.
A third way would be to use Inventor's iProperties, but there again, I don't know where to find information for the coding side.

I am using inventor 2013 and have a very large assembly consisting of many sub assemblies and I want to perform a FEA on it. I went to the tutorials to see where to find it and it said it is under "Environments" on my ribbon. However, I can't find it anywhere. How do I access it?

Is there any way you can access an AutoCAD file embedded in an IDW by using VBA?I have an IDW with about 100 sheets; it would like to control which file is embedded in each of the sheets.
The best would be to use linked files but I do not know how to make certain files visible on certain sheets.

For a while now whenever I open a new assembly the default is place from content centre, I use the drop-down and select place.
Today I needed place from content centre and it just doesn't come up.
It is loaded/automatic in the addins.
If I open my projects, in the bottom right corner where I would usually click to acess my installed libraries, I click but it does nothing!
I also noticed studio and BIM are greyed out, but I have started to play with Showcase so not really a problem. I need to set up a read/write library soon, so it's going to be a problem.

I have a problem for code files in inventor, my intention is codify this files whit a personal code name.
I need to launch the "SAVE AS" changing the file name that I need, with the possibility of modifying it.
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item ("AppFileNewCmd"). Execute
Works smoothly and launches the open document window, but
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item ("AppFileSaveAsCmd"). Execute
does nothing, either fails. At the same time would need to know how to rename the file to display.
