AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW File Format Update To All Old IDW Files
Feb 2, 2013
I am user for Inventor 2013 Professional.
1 year ago i created a format for my idw template file. I set many things under Drawing Resources in browser.Sheet Formats, Borders, Title Blocs, Sketch Symbols... etc. Now we want to change something in this resources and i will create new one.
My question is if i create new one, then can i update all new formats to my old idw files? I mean, i can't open all of old files and i can't change one by one. I want to do in easy way.

What is the best export/import format for sending 3D files. I need some neutral format files, possibly Solidworks but I am not sure. Also any export settings to make sure I get decent quality files.
Nothing like getting a surface model when you want solid model.

I've got a catalog that work fine in LR4.4, but when I try to upgrade them to LR5 I get the error, "Lightroom couldn't update the format of its catalog file because the file appears to be damaged." The catalogs aren't damaged as they work perfectly in LR4.4. I urgently need to update them to a new mac with LR5.

I saw a long thread on this, but it was back in 2007, so I just wanted to ping the group and see if there might be any new technology to bring into this topic, or if the older thread and the limitations it discussed are all still valid in 2009.

I am installing LR4. I tried to update the catalog.I received the message that LR encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom. When I click on the See Adobe Technote button, I received the message that that file is unavailable from the Adobe Website. I don't want to loose all my catalog information from my previous instralling of LR2.7.

I imported an .stp file into Inventor 2011, saved it as an .ipt, and edited several features. When I export this edited file as an .stp and sent it to a client, they said that the file contained multiple errors: it showed no solid bodies (only surfaces), and the 3D thread feature I created (using a thread cutter and Inventor "Coil" command) did not read correctly (the thread I created was an edit of a previous thread, and apparently the .stp file simultaneously showed the new thread and the old, unedited threads).
Creating an assembly (.iam) and shrinkwrapping it before exporting as an .stp does not work.
(When I open the stp file I created [in Inventor] the file, of course, reads correctly. All solid bodies are visible, as well as the single thread.)
How to export an .stp so that it reads correctly in SolidWorks?

I'm trying to find a proper workflow how to get my .ipt parts to right file format that fits to our nesting program. Nesting program is a quite old and doesn't support files newer than Autocad 2000 .dwg/.dxf.
Our current workflow is quite slow and painful, because we have to clean drawings manually and it breaks the link between drawing and 3D model:
1. Design parts in Inventor (.ipt)
2. Create drawing file in Inventor (.idw/.dwg)
3. Save a copy from drawing file to Autocad .dwg
4. Open the copy of drawing in Autocad, remove splines etc. and save in older Autocad 2000 .dwg format
5. Import to Nesting program
How should I do this that it won't break the link between .dwg file and 3D model and those drawings won't have any splines?

I am attempting to change the thread format in inventor under the dimensions style editor, but it is grayed out and does not let me select anything from the drop down box. I want to display the thread information so it includes the unit. For example, this is what it shows now: 1/2 - 14 NPT. I want to change it to 1/2" - 14 NPT. What I need to do to be able to change the thread format in the dimension style editor?
By the way, I have a lot of drawings to do, so manually typing in 1/2" - 14 NPT will take sometime, so I am looking for a quick and easy fix.

Lightroom v5.3: I'm a long time DNG file user for Pentax and Nikon cameras. I recently discovered that about 300 of my RAW Nikon files already imported into the Library are NEF files instead of DNG files as my other 5700 files are.
I know that I made an error somewhere along the way, but- Is there an easy solution to converting those existing NEF files to the DNG format?

Whenever I attempt to open a non-native format file from outside of Inventor it launches a fresh instance of IV. Currently I've been working around it by dragging the file to the status bar of IV, but at least a few times a week I forget and double click it.
Some scouring of the web and these boards yielded some info concerning this problem as it pertains to native formats, but I haven't been able to find anything for neutral formats. I'm sure it requires a registry key tweaking, but I'm not comfortable enough with regedit to go in there and just start changing stuff without some level of guidance. The problem occurs whether the files are opened from windows or an internet browser (tried firefox and ie). I suspect that every format I ever wanted to open would require a separate edit, in that case I'd be perfectly happy with just a fix for .step files. That would at least have me set for 90% of my downloads and offer an improvement to my overall sanity level.

I have created a iLogic form for my skeletal part file that drives my assembly. The issues is that it is a few steps to get the assembly to update.
Current Steps: open skeletal part fileuse form to change size parameterssave new skeletal size changesopen assemblypress the update button if changes haven't already been applied...I have tried to link these parameters directly to the assembly and tried to create the form using those linked parameters from the skeletal part file. It looks like it would work, but I am unable to edit the parameters once the form is created.
I am hoping that the I can skip opening and editing the skeletal part file.open assembly fileuse form to change size and dimensions, and all part files and drawings are updated to that new shape and size.
I have tried to create a global Form in the skeletal part file, and tried to update the size changes in the assembly file.I was able to changes the inputs this way, but once I pressed the apply I get an error with no changes. what I want but I am not very up to date on iLogic or these forms. I will be searching Google for now.

I have moved a catalog of 150'000 pictures (with associated pictures) to from an iMac to a new Macbook Pro. I used (in Elements 11, same version on the old system) "reconnect missing files" to update the path to the new location. Most files did reconnect perfectly. However, some of them cannot be reconnected. The message I get is
"The files cannot be reconneceted because the file already exists".
The reality is that the same file does not exist. Only an identical named file in a completely separate directory path form another year is present (I use more than one camera and the filenames start all at DSCN001.jpg). How can I fix this, otherwise I cannot complete the transfer of the library.

I have AutoCAD 2013 and often "paste special" excel files that automatically update when the excel file changes.The problem I'm running into is I work with a person who has uses an older version of CAD 2004, so I always save to the older format for him.
When I etransmit, I be sure to add the excel file, but when he opens the dwg, only the outline of the excel appears in his dwg, no content.

I made a change to my materials library. I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material. I then saved this back to my library.
Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library. So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).
This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle. It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).
Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....
The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in. That is a bunch of work. The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it. The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.
I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing?
The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).
I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.

I am using AutoCAD LT for Mac and would like to be able to make large format PDF files. I have only one printer installed and the maximum page size is legal. It makes great PDF files as long as they are letter or legal. Is there a way to install a "phantom" printer that has architectural sheet sizes, preferably in color?
