View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm just started using inventor 2013 (from 2010) & the way colours/materials are applied has completely changed so I'm learning again from scratch.
Here's my issue: A customer has sent a casting to me in Parasolid format. When I open it, all the unmachined surface are blue & look a bit garish. However, the colours of the machined faces are ok & I wish to keep them.
So, I want to chage all the surfaces that are blue - I can use the picker & select all the blue faces seperately (by holding CTRL down & select each face one be one) but this is a pain & takes ages (there are over 200 faces)
I can see & edit the blue color in the manager but how do I tell Inventor to replace all - can it be done?
I have an older drawing with an outdated sheet format. I'm wanting to update to a new custom sheet format without having to redimension and recreate views. Is it possible to just update the sheet format?

I had a quick play but couldn't work it out. Im used to creating the finished part and 'un-folding' to get the flat pattern.Detail supplied below.

This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.
I am using Inventor 2010 (I know this is my first problem, but you have to use what you're given!) and I need to use the sheet number in a calculation that will display the result in a text box. =((<SHEET NUMBER>-1)8)=1 displays a result of ((11-1)8)+1. I suspect that the sheet number is being brought in as text instead of a number. I tried adding atoi to the equation to convert the sheet number to an integer, but it did not work.Is there an alternate source for the sheet number that will return a number? Is my syntax wrong?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAny way of forcing an update of the colour styles from the original Multi-Body part to the assembled/derived components.
I always control colours in the original Multi-body part as I can select groups in one go to change colours, this doesn’t filter down to the derived/assembly component I then have to go into each part and uncheck then recheck the 'Use color override from source component'.
I am aware of the reg file/vba to remove the source override completely but which works for certain ways of working / problems, but I want to control it from the original part which I assume was the way it was intended as it is the default option!

Is there a way to set the colour of a part using the RGB value? (or perhaps the hexdecimal value?)I know I can set colours in iLogic by specifying an existing colour (ex... iProperties.PartColor = "Green")
I want to avoid adding the colour to Inventor as a custom colour, then referencing it in iLogic... The goal is, if a user specifies the finish on this part to be this colour, it will always be that RGB value (our standard in-house paint colour). I don't want to add it to the Inventor 'colors' design data... when we upgrade to the next version of Inventor, it's one more item we have to remember to carry over!.
how can I change different colour in a assembly drawing. That means in a single drawing there is so many parts assembled I want to change the different parts in a different colour.

I want to section my assemblies to show some internal detail, but sometimes it is hard to tell what is part of the cut and what isn't.
Is it possible to colour the sectioned area red instead of having it look like a slice through a block on concrete?
By the way, this is in the model environment, not the drawing environment.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to change the colour of all faces in a select set simultaneously?
The method I am referring to is when you select faces in a part document, rickt click and select properties from the context menu, a dialog box pops up called "Face Properties" which prompts you to select a colour and click OK. when this is done all of the faces are changed at once.
How do I replicate this via the API?
Currently I have it iterate through each face in a part document and apply the colour override one by one which can take a while when there are about 1000 faces. You can see each face changing as you go.
Is there an option to set the default colour for object borders? Our drawing templates have a black background. If I want to move a text or a view, all that is shown while moving the text or view is a rectangular border. Unfortunately this is also black and thus invisible. So you never really know where you move your object to.

I have an assembly that has 4 rectangular patterns that can have any number of elements, sometimes the customer will ask for coating to be applied, in this case i only want to change the colour at the assembly level only.
I have a drawing of a sheet metal part with multiple sheets. I have named each sheet to reflect the nature of the views (general dimensions, detail views, flat pattern, etc.). I want the name of the sheet to appear in the title block, but I cannot seem to find the "Sheet Name" property anywhere. Can it be added to the list of the drawing or sheet properties, or is there another way to achieve this?. I do not want to have to use Custom Properties, and manually re-enter the names of each sheet.

I'm having the constant problem, with IV crashing when trying to export an UK/EU A0 sheet. If I drop down one sheet size to A1 the export to PDF works with out a problem.
I've got the latest SP and fixes installed, so I don't know if it is IV or Adobe XI Pro at fault. Plenty of memory, paging file set to min of 8192 Max of 32768 so there plenty of space, 8MB Ram. Windows 7
What I've tried is save the file as a different name, file is NOT compressed on the HD, the HD is not faulty I've ran several test & checks, the folder & file are not corrupted, no viruses reported after deep scan, so now I'm stuck here wondering why IV will not export an A0 sheet to PDF.
