I am working in one assembly. in that assembly i created all the part with using i part & same part i called in to the assembly & created i assembly. while creating drawing i have facing problem to show the model parameters in to the assembly drawing table. How to link the model parameters in assembly parameters with using i assembly.

I have created an assembly containing several parts. I want to export several text parameters of the assembly and parts into the i properties of the corresponding idw so that I can use them in a text block.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using parameters from a .ipt file to display dimensional information on a drawing file I have created (the fields colored red are the parameters it is reading). How do I get them to display as fractions instead of decimal? I want it to read 5"1/2 instead of 5.5", for instance. I have tried inputting them as fractions in the parameters dialog in the part file, but no luck, they still come out as decimal.
See attachment for reference.
I have an iPart that I have created parameters to perform some basic calcs so the values will show up on every member. The parameters are correct for the different member so it appears to be working correctly on the model side. For example I have a parameter called 'CutLength' that performs simple math functions. But when I make the table on the drawing and I include this parameter, I see the formula in the table instead of the value. Is there a way I can have it display the value instead of the equation?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a automated ilogic model that is then used within a 2D drawing, this 2D drawing then has dimensions on it referenced to the the model.
This model changes in its length the dimension associated with its length then changes but the dimension text then goes outside of the dimension boundary (does not stay central). Is there any code that can scan the dimensions and in effect tidy them up?
I'm trying to extract the Rev of a model (part or assembly) from a drawing. Since Inventor has independent revs for the model and idw I am trying to drill down and put the rev from the model referenced. I got it to work for ipts and many iams using:
Dim oModelDoc As Document
Set oModelDoc = oDocument.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
The problem I have is when the drawing only references an ipn presentation file. The ipn ALSO has it's own independant rev! I'm trying access the model the ipn references but cannot get it to work.
BTW, I do know about the ability to sync idw and ipt properties. I have enable it for our template but we have a lot of legacy drawings that don't have this option selected. I also haven't tested that method with an drawing that only references an ipn.
Code is below with offending section in bold:
' Find model (part or assembly) referenced by drawing if active document is a drawing
If oDocument.DocumentType = kDrawingDocumentObject Then
Dim oModelDoc As Document
Set oModelDoc = oDocument.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
[Code]....
I'm referencing an assembly on a drawing. When new parts are added to this assembly, they show up on my drawing, anyway to stop this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Inventor 2011 and when I go to change parameters using iLogic in an assembly model, (sometimes it is a component suppression, other times it is an iPart component change) it won't update the associated drawing file. I need to go into the BOM on the drawing and renumber the balloons, or change something else in order for the custom iProperties to update in the drawing template. If I just change the iPart component, then the BOM doesn't need to update making the renumbering of balloons redundant.
I'm using iLogic to update all of the iProperties and component references, then reattach balloons. What I would like to do is automatically update the custom iProperties drawing template fields, and renumber the drawing BOM.
it is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.
For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?
The layer is on and the ground levels on the architectural drawing in model view show the number and the box surrounding them however in the drawing window be it in the numbers have dissapeared and we are left with only the boxes ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to use parameters of a part in an assembly. How to do this? Do i need to define a rule? How is this done?
Can i do it without using an Excel sheet as a parameter source for both the assembly and the part? The target is to have inventor update an array of assets as soon as the width of a part is changed whether in Excel or in the Factory properties of the asset.
what is the procedure for linking ILOGIC rules? There has to be some way, either they are both called from a VBA or VB.NET program.
i want to update parameters in an assembly, then write out the updated IDW to a DWG and/or PDF, then update the parameters, write out etc.
I have both the Rule working in the IAM and the Rule working in the IAM, i just want to call them sequentially.
I have a master layout (ipt), from which I've created derived parts, that get put together in an assembly. I'm able to pass parameters from my master part to the derived parts, but I don't seem to be able to pass parameters from the derived parts to the assembly. Is this possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know that in Inventor 2011 you can add text to your IDW and insert numeric parameters from Parts in an Assembly, BUT what I would like to do is insert parameters that contain text. Ideally I would to just pull the parameters from from the Assembly and place them as Text in the IDW.
I can pull the parameters from the Assembly into the IDW using iLogic, but I still can't insert them in text.
I have design tree like this:
Main Assembly
L Sub Assembly1
L Sub Assembly 2
L Sub Assembly 3
L part 1
in part i have a parameter name ("Panjang")... how to control "Panjang"?. I cannot access a part parameter in Sub-assembly.

How can I drive parts from an assembly level without using Excel spreadsheets. I know it is possible using iLogic to do it, but I can't figure out how to do it "automatically".
For example, we would like to drive a conveyor roller without the use of a spreadsheet. I figured out I could simply insert user-driven parameters in the top-level assembly and drive the parts with the parameters in the assembly, but it is telling me it would cause a cyclic redundancy, so I cannot do it this way, then I thought about iLogic.
It is currently working OK, but I have to enter in the iLogic rule to manually change the filenames in the rule for it to work.
Why? Mainly because we use a prefix to our parts and we sometimes use Autodesk Vault, sometimes not (depending on the project).
Here is my example;
I have a part named "Tube.ipt", "Bearing.ipt", "Spring.ipt" and "Tige Hexagonale.ipt" along with this code in the assembly level (Rouleau.iam):
Parameter("Spring:1", "GAGE") = WIRE_SPRING
Parameter("Spring:1", "DE") = OD_SPRING
Parameter("Spring:1", "LONGUEUR") = LENGHT_SPRING
Parameter("Tube:1", "LONGUEUR_TUBE") = RL-Parameter("Bearing:1", "EPAULEMENT")-Parameter("Bearing:1", "EPAULEMENT")
Parameter("Tige hexagonale:1", "LONGUEUR_HEXA") = RL+B+B
Parameter("Tige hexagonale:1", "BOSSE_SPRING") = B+0.010 in+Parameter("Bearing:1", "EPAULEMENT_SPRING")+LENGHT_SPRING+WIRE_SPRING
Parameter("Tige hexagonale:1", "BOSSE_BEARING") = B+0.010 in+Parameter("Bearing:1", "EPAULEMENT_SPRING")
As you may see, I would have to change "Tige hexagonale:1" every time we use this assembly on different project for it to update properly. I would like to automate it a little bit more.
How to make it work in iLogic:Search for something that has "Tube" in it's filename in this assembly, then store it into a variable called "Tube" Repeat this step for "Spring" and "Tige" Then replace "tige hexagonale:1" by the variable or something like this...
I am trying to control the parameters contained in a part that is not in my assembly. May sound odd, but I am using the multi body part modeling feature to create all of my bodies in a single part file, then making these components/sub assemblies, and pulling them into my assembly. However, I do not want to have the "control part" in my assembly, I just want it to drive the parts. I cannot figure out how to access these parameters without having the part included in the assembly...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have the following problem. I design a simple part - an extruded base, so i have a parameter in this part that i can control the extrusion distance - i call this parameter D.
Then i create an assembly and place the part in it. How can i access the parameter D of the part from within the assembly?
I want to place multiple instances of this part in my assembly and control each parameter D of an instance using an excel worksheet that is linked with the assembly. How can i do it ?
My aim is to design a very simple manipulator. Each link has the same shape but a different length. I want to control each length from an excel worksheet and not from an ipart table. I want to have only one worksheet that controls the parameters of my assembly such as constraint angles , and link lengths.
I am attempting to reverse engineer a Slap Chop for a school project. Being only an amatuer at Inventor, I have made several parts that need to fit together but don't due to erronious measurements. Attached are three of the parts I have so far, and I will make a few replies with the remaining parts. I am trying to make an excel sheet or some table where I can manage all my parameters and have them update in the parts. The table is simply to make it easier for me to quickly check my dimensions.

I have created an iLogic panel which allows me to control my revision a lot easier and puts my entered data into the parameters of the sheet itself, is there a way to have this show up on the drawing itself for a template?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to open have people go into a central assembly file, type in their specific parameters and the various part files update within the assembly. I wish to do this without the need for an excel sheet, but when I try to link the parameters from the assembly file to the part files, it will not allow me to insert these parts. I get an error about an "assembly can not be placed into itself."
Iparts will not work as this has an infinite amount of sizes.
Is there a way to work with parameters on a suppressed assembly using iLogic.Everything works fine, but when I suppressed a part ilogic rule give me an error: Parameter: The component named "xxxxx:1" was not found.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a standard command or command sequence that allows for the changing of a parameter, say length, of a component from within an assembly. I'm looking to compile a code that allows for a template to be created, then that template will do changes based on text box input and then save out the modified parts with new part numbers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a part called "bracket" which has a multi-value parameter "mass" which can be 100, 200, 300, or 400 and controls the width of the bracket.I have an assembly into which I have placed thee brackets.
How do I set different parameters for each of the instances of "bracket"?I want one bracket with mass = 100, one with mass = 200, and one with mass = 300, such that I have three brackets of different widths.
I must not be searching on the right text in Google because I find only ways to change the value of the parameter within the core component (such that all brackets change and end up the same width).

I have an assembly which contains a CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pThisCompOcc , and I'd like to do two things.
Get the name of the "base" object, not the display name of the occurence Change the model and user parameter values of the occurrence I suspect that I need to find the function or method which gives me a CComPtr<PartComponentDefinition> pPartCompDef which the occurrence points to for the Q1, but what about Q2?
Presumably the parameters are associated with the Component Occurrence and the "real" name is associated with the Part Component Definition?
Is it possible to change the parameters of a custom ipart in an assembly after it has been inserted, or can I only do an insert using AddCustomiPartMember?
In that case I simply remove the previous occurrence and insert a new one I suppose?
