AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Save Copy As DXF Or DWG Not Working In 2014
Sep 23, 2013
I recently installed Inventor 2014. With Inventor 2013, I was able to do a Save Copy As on an IDW file to save it as either a DXF file or AutoCAD DWG file without any issues. In Inventor 2014, doing this produces the following dialog boxes in succession:
No DXF or DWG is produced. I tried doing this to a new, blank drawing from one of the default IDW templates and I get the same result. What can I do to fix this?

I have upgraded from 2012 to 2014 but there is a smaller list of visual styles for the Ilogc form. I used to set all forms to "iMaginary" but his is not an option in 2014. Is there a way to copy the form visual style from 2012 to 2014?

I recently migrated to the Inventor 2014 release and immediately encountered several issues.
One that I haven't found reported on this site is the problem related with the 3D mouse (3D connexion Space Navigator). I've been working with it beautifully with R2012-2013 but now that I started working on Inventor 2014 it stalls and stops working suddenly. It's so bad that I stopped using the 3D mouse entirely.

I uninstalled and re-installed the latest mouse drivers and checked that it's not the device malfunctioning. I also installed the Inventor update available on Autodesk site. No change...

We use mandatory roaming profiles for our students and have done for some 14 years with all previous versions of our Autodesk products.
Now Inventor 2014 Pro (running on Windows 7 SP1 x64) will not open with a mandatory profile applied all I get is the new "Send AutoDesk your error box" Remove the mandatory profile and let the user create a local profile from the same default profile used to create the mandatory profile, Inventor works. The only clue I get to what might be happening is in the infocenter.log (within the Appdata section of the profile) where it states that the inventor.xml is not found. Without the mandatory applied the log is clear and the inventor.xml exists in the same folder.

When I try to start a new Assembly or Drawing in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2014 - Student Version, this error shows up:
I tried to copy the file "AmSrv.dll" from another computer and the error is still showing up.

When I paste an item in the assembly, the item is thrown off in space. It places it so far away that it is not even in the view window. I have to stop what I doing, do a find in window and then drag it close to where I need it. Then I can start constraining it.
Why does it not place the item at my coursor location like it used to?
I am using SP1.

I have a user who has a problem with creating meshes in the Inventor Stress Analysis environment. When trying to create meshes in assemblies (after clicking the Mesh View button), the Mesh progress meter gets to about 80% done, then backs up a step, then never moves forward after that. He has let it run all night and no further progress is made. I noticed that the FEAComputeServer.exe process uses 25% to 50% of the CPU usage until about a minute after the mesh progress meter stops. Then the FEAComputeServer.exe CPU usage drops to zero.
The odd thing is that this is happening on only 1 computer. The exact same assemlies can be meshed without problems on his laptop and my computer. We have tried the following to solve the problem:
1. Adjusted Mesh Settings to various values.
2. Both Inventor 2014 SP1 and Update 1 for SP1 are installed
3. Updated the video driver. Video card is a NVIDIA Quadro 4000. Video driver is version NVIDIA's 331.65 WHQL certified ODE driver.
4. Uninstalled and reinstalled all Autodesk products using the procedure at [URL]
5. As part of the uninstall, we also removed MS .NET Frameworks and C++ Redistrubutables so that the Autodesk installer would install it's preferred flavor of these utilities.
6. Reinstalled SP1 and Update 1 for SP1.
Since the issue is happening on just 1 computer, I don't think the issue is related to the part geometry itself. The only other thing I can think of that could cause this is just bad hardware.

I have been designing a school project for the last 2 months using the student version of inventor 2014. The realistic views have been working the whole time before but now it is not working. I click on it, and it just switches back to shaded view. If I click on shadows, or reflections I get the following message.
"One or more visual effects in use are not supported by the current system graphics hardware. We strongly recommend running the Diagnostics check in applications option for detailed information.Would you like to run hardware Diagnostics now?"
After selecting Yes I get the following,The graphics driver is fully certified.

I have some problem with converting to PDF from Inventor .idw file. When I use “Save copy as” PDF I get some picture like this
But if I use command "Print" and choose “DragToPDF” or else, picture came out just fine.
Problem is that I have some programming tool where I need to use “Save copy as”
P.S.You can see differences in attachments.

I have a user who no longer has a pdf option when "saving copy as" in Inventor 2010. He sees a few other options but not pdf. I will get him to perform a fix and reboot?

When trying to Save Copy As:
1) When setting file type to AutoCAD dwg or dxf, Inventor has to "think" for about 30 - 45 seconds (i.e. the hourglass cursor shows up).
2) I press 'Options and Inventor "thinks" for about 30-45 seconds, but nothing happens, no DXF export wizard pops up, so I can't change any export settings..
3) If I press save anyway, I get an error message: "problems encountered while saving the document" I have tried repairing, reinstalling, and uninstalling inventor but each option fails.

When I save as DXF, I have to manually go into options on the save tab and click "default DXF configuration," otherwise it exports the file as a ZIP folder. I can't figure out how to save the configuration so I dont have to manually do that everytime, im sure it something simple, as it usually is..

I used to be able to save my .idw files as an autocad .dwg, then be able to open and edit them in autocard. Now it seems that I can only save as inventor dwg and I am unable to edit the drawing in autocad.

I'm trying to 'export face as' and change the version of the DXF, but my options box will not come up. This problem is also happening in my 'Save Copy As' and 'Export to DWG'.

I have a part (partA) and a drawing of it (drawingA).I want to save a copy of both (partB and drawingB) and make changes to partB and drawingB will update.
To do this do I save a copy of partA first to partB and then in drawingA replace part to partB and then save a copy of drawing to drawingB

It has to do with iparts and iassemblies and “save copy as”. My concern is that during the concept stage an engineer may be working on a design and will create an ipart, as many of our designs have multiple versions. They now want to keep a copy of that ipart, and try something new so they “save copy as” and create a new file. The new ipart members all have the name reference to the first design. Does renaming those members redirect the path to the new ipart, or should we avoid designing like this all together?

I am having a problem with Save AS Copy To DXF.
When I try the 'Save copy as' DXF route it does not function. If I click the save button nothing happens and if I click the option button nothing happens either. In 2012 when you click the options button you would have got the option to change the export settings i.e. all sheets etc...
I do have the option to change the file formats via the drop down box in the 'save copy as' dialogue box and dxf etc are listed!
When I right click on the flat pattern in 'Model' there is no button for 'Export' in the list that appears. Therefore I cannot get to the Flat pattern dxf export options prompt as shown in this thread.
Its obvious you should be able to save as a dxf from an inventor idw as the buttons are there they are just not working!
I am having this problem with Autodesk Design Suite Premium. Inventor 2014 will not give me options, and is having problem exporting to autocad dwg. tried a reinstall as it appears to wotk properly on other similar installed machines.

I have an assembly that I am working on that will be used as a configurator, driven by I-logic. Everything is work fine but there is one part off the assembly that will be custom to each new assembly. Is there a way to use I logic to open the ipt file save it as copy with different name and replace the original in the assembly. I know this can be done manual through the productivity tab within the assembly environment, but I am trying to automate the process so the end user will just have to follow prompts that will be given by i-logic.

I have re-installed APDS Ultimate 2013 onto a new computer and am having some issues setting up my styles and etc...for the most part I have been working on it as I go with no issues...but I can't remember how I set up my export to dxf settings before. I think I just used the default settings, I exported to dxf from the idw environment by saving copy as and selecting dxf from drop down menu and selecting something like AutoCAD 2004. This has worked before and still does now, but the problem is the dxf's that are exported are huge. The drawing is of a single tiny part with basic geometry. The picture below shows the size difference between the files.
how I can make it a normal size, I don't really care about the size of the dxf except for the fact that I can't email it because we have a limit of 10MB.

I was able to use Inventor "Save Copy As" function to create zgl files. When the zgl files were viewed with "Imagination View" program, some files looked good, while some others do not show any geometry (just white background). Do I need to change anything in the Model before executing "Save Copy As" function?

An application that will let me choose a group of Drawing files (.idw) and perform "Save Copy As" to a PDF format on them. The Filename of each Drawing should be extracted from a custom Parameter I embeded in the IDW file.
I know I can use the Task Manager with a virtual PDF Printer to create these files, but then the PDF Filename will equal the IDW Filename, and I want it to be derived from the custom parameter I prepared inside the drawings.

When using save copy as to make an identical part with a different number, the file name in the top and the browser doesn't update to the new filenumber. only in the bottom file tabs is the name correct. if I go to file> save as I can also see the new filename. This is a hassle when doing this to multiple files in an assembly, as it makes it hard to keep track of which parts have been given a new name. It seems the filename input in the browser is only written once, and that is when the first file was saved for the first time.

Using Inventor 2012 and using ilogic rule or VB codes to auto Save Copy AS DWG?
My old code error out when debugging. The exact error is on this code line:
DWGAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)
Autodesk has agreed that this code does not work on Inventor 2012 and that the development is working on it. This code is part of the Snippets built in Inventor iLogic Rule Browser.

I want to save my PDFs as All Colors As Black, but setting the option to 0 or 1 doesn't work, it keeps saving the PDFs in color. Here's the snippet of
If oPDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then
oOptions.Value("All_Color_As_Black") = True
oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = False
oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
'oOptions.Value("Custom_Begin_Sheet") = 2
'oOptions.Value("Custom_End_Sheet") = 4
End If
What is wrong with the option in the second line (shown in red)? I've tried a few other variations of All_Color_As_Black, but I'm having no joy. All the other examples I've looked at either has that option set to False (0) or that line is commented out .

How to copy from a panorama in 2014?
I know this worked in 2013. In any panorama, Feature Line Edit Elevations for example, you could select certain rows, or all of them, right-click and get a menu with the options Copy All and Copy Selected. These could then be pasted in Excel, or in my cae HEC-RAS.
We upgraded to 2014 a few months ago and hadn't discovered this until today. In 2014, with lines in the panorama selected, a right-click does nothing. I tried again in 2013, and it worked fine, and I was able to get my work done.
Is this a feature that was dropped between 2013 and 2014?
