AutoCAD Inventor :: Insert Table Into IAM Without IAssembly
Dec 5, 2013
Is there any way to insert a generic table into an assembly file. I don't want to create an iAssembly or use the data to configure the component in any way. I would just like to be able to maintain some design related information within the assembly file, similar to the tables that you can create in an idw. A table just like the iAssembly table would be fine, minus the iAssembly part or any sense of configuration.

I am creating an iAssembly with iParts. Some of the iParts have the "Table Replace" colum option and some do not. Both iParts have tables with members and part numbers. See pic.

I am trying to come up with an automatic method to add a new row to my i assembly table and populate that row based on values entered by the user (assuming that combination of values doesn't already exist... ). Basically, I wish to build my i assembly table on demand over long term by user input via a form that calls an ilogic rule.

I have created two iParts, both with corresponding tables which I then put into an iAssembly so I can change the size of a pad eye and two cheek plates depending upon the desired Working Load Limit. I have a very basic form right now with a drop down menu to chose the different Safe Working Loads but whichever one I choose, is not changing the table configuration to the desired size. Clearly my iLogic code is not working the way I would like. See below and also see attached screen shots so you know what I am working with.
If Parameter("SWL") = "4.75Te" Then
iPart.ChangeRow("PADEYE iPART - IMPERIAL:1", "WLL = 4.75Te")
iPart.ChangeRow("CHEEK PLATE iPART:1", "WLL = 4.75Te")
iPart.ChangeRow("CHEEK PLATE iPART:2", "WLL = 4.75Te")
ElseIf Parameter("SWL") = "6.5Te" Then
iPart.ChangeRow("PADEYE iPART - IMPERIAL:1", "WLL = 6.5Te")
[code]........
This code was actually overwriting the table properties (in excel), so I know this is wrong, I just couldn't find any snippet for changing a table configuration .

I have created two table rows in an iAssembly that I would like to have a iLogic code written for.
What do I need to use to trigger between these two, when, for instance, a certain numeric value is entered in the parameters? Within the assembly file, when I use the iPart.ChangeRow (or iAssembly.ChangeRow) and put the . I am filename in the first spot, it says it cannot find the file.
This is what I am using, and the error states it cannot find the . i am file I am referencing.
IfParameter("Window_Cutout_Vertical")<=1AndParameter("Window_Cutout_Horizontal")<=1TheniAssembly.ChangeRow("A60_RHR_Door_Assembly.iam", "A60_RHR_Door_Assembly-02")ElseIfParameter("Window_Cutout_Vertical")>1AndParameter("Window_Cutout_Horizontal")>1TheniAssembly.ChangeRow("A60_RHR_Door_Assembly.iam", "A60_RHR_Door_Assembly-01")EndIf

How can I display iPart parameters in an iAssembly general table?
On my .dwg I would like to use one detail with a table. The 2 table columns I need are:
(1) iAssembly name (no problems here, shows up in the general table by default)
(2) Length (this parameter value is in the iPart)

what the best way to show 2 different subassemblies based on the same iAssembly... I would expect a "custom" option as there is from the content center. If I try and change the table for one, the other instance gets updated, and I would like it to stay the same. I understand that this would require a new "branch" in the BOM holding the different sized parts, but there must be a way to accommodate this?

How to edit the member name in an iassembly table using code? The Part Number and Description iproperties are easy to handle. But I am stuck on how to access the member name and edit it. I guessed at some methods, but keep getting errors.

I'm making my first iAssemblies and have run into a strange problem.
I have the option to add the Table Replace column for iParts, but this option isn't avialeble for parts inserted from content center.

In the column Description from a I-assembly table I will place the text Test<200. Than I get a error message "Detected potentially damaging errors in the table. Unable to interpret cel: " ". It goes wrong with this symbol <. How do i get this symbol normal as a text in this column?

In a simple case I have an extrusion with some attached seals/weather stripping, all implemented as iParts having their own LENGTH parameters.
RailPart.ipt, Seal_A.ipt, Seal_B.ipt
The goal is to encapsulate these IParts within an iAssembly: RailAssy.iam, where a LENGTH parameter can be input when the iAssembly is placed, causing RailPart and Seal_A to have their length parameters set to the LENGTH provided at that time and SEAL_B having Length set by an iLogic rule to LENGTH - 5.
I've been unable to set up a Custom Parameter Column in an iAssembly table. Is this even permitted?

In my iAssembly, I have placed a weld. In one of the members, I am suppressing the weld. When I change to that member, I get an error "Weld No Spine: could not compute Weld: Possible intersection failure". Inventor complains a little, but it does not show that Red Cross after the member is selected.
Why do I see that even though the weld is suppressed for that member?
Heres a video of what I'm seeing?

If I put iParts into an assembly, and then convert this assembly to an iAssembly, I can include "Table Replace [My_iPart]" as a column in the parameter table. As the value of this column I can select the individual rows of the given iPart parameter table.
However, I can not make this column be a "Custom Parameter Column". (In fact it seems to me that in an iAssembly I can not make any other types of columns to be "Custom Parameter Columns" either). Also, if a parameter of the iPart is a "custom parameter", I can not carry over this "customness" into the iAuthor parameter table.
This means that I need to insert table rows by hand, one-by-one, which is quite cumbersome. Imagine you have an iAssembly containing only two iParts, each having N rows. This means N^2 rows in the iAssembly, all of which I need to specify by hand. Plus I can not use the "customness" of a parameter of an iPart within the assembly.
In an iAssembly containing an iPart, I would like to
- have a "Custom Parameter Column" in the iAssembly parameter table, which can select rows from the iPart parameter table (selectable values would automatically be all the rows from the correcponding iPart)
- if my iPart has a custom parameter, I would like to have this custom parameter available as a separate custom-value column in the iAssembly
Is it possible somehow? Or is it conceptually wrong?

I have several iterations of an assembly. Specifically I have a base of a machine with different tooling for different products.
I generated the BOM by referencing the specific tooling I am trying to detail. That worked. But when I balloon, it references the main assembly. It won't let me redirect the source file to the tooling asm.

Issue between an i-assembly and i-Logic. So, I have an assembly that includes some extra components that are not always needed and therefore an i-Logic rule takes the decision whether these will be suppressed or not.
Of course this is not a problem however it turns out that I miss some info from BOM according to the suppressed parts ...and all these makes sense following the LOD etc.
A potential solution to keep up to date the BOM while you are excluding the needless components is to create
an i-Assembly.
To keep that simple I turned my current Assembly to an i-Assembly and very successfully I excluded various components and of course I included some others by adding extra ROWS.
So far So good
Now I want to apply some dimensional boundaries by using i-Logic rules. According to them I want to allow this i-assembly to jump among these different ROWS that meet the right criteria.
Very rough thoughts led me to the following code...
For example...
If Width > 600 Then
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-1'
Else
iPart.ChangeROW ("..." , "...") 'Row-2'
End if
The Problem is that the above code works fine, for a example, in case that I will place an i-part in my assembly... However I am looking to change the row of the actual assembly that as I mentioned before I turned it to an i-assembly
To make this even more clear I want to be able to manipulate my i-assembly with i-Logic rules while this is open in Inv. I don't want to change rows while this is placed as a component or sub-assembly in an another assembly...

I was wondering if I'm able to create two tables in an iassembly, like one table for size and another for different components in the same assembly.I have a vague memory of an old assembly having this but I can't find it or it's just a figure of my imagination.

I have an assembly with around 120 variants in it. I am getting a little annoyed having to click the OK button when asked:
"Do you want to save changes to 122.iam" and its dependents"
is there any way to set the default to OK?
(other than setting an electric motor and a poking device up)

I am using Inventor Professional 2012 and I have created complex iparts and iassemblies and I am not able to change the BOM structure of the parts simply because they are intelligent. I require the tables and features that the iparts and iassemblies can create but they are coming up read only and can not modify the BOM information. Is there a way to change the read only aspect of an ipart or iassembly?

What I am looking for is a command similar to table replace, but that will allow for a new part to be created based on a user input. This will need to be done at the i Assembly level to an i Part that is placed within the assembly.
The end goal is to have input boxes come up, ask the user for the values then create all of the associated parts.
I don't need anything with the input boxes, just the part creation.

I'm creating a routine to fill in my terminal strips. This routine worked perfectly in Vba but I'm now rewriting it for .NET...The problem is that I want to insert a block with attributes into different cells.The tables already exists. Below my function, I'm stuck on this part
Dim lonReturnedIds = FunBlockId() ' Calls the function FunBlockID to get the ID's of the attributes
' 0 = BlockID
' 1 = AttributeID of KleurB
' 2 = AttributeID of KleurO
TS.Cells(i, intPosition).Contents.Add()
TS.Cells(i, intPosition).Contents(0).BlockTableRecordId = lonReturnedIds(0)
TS.Cells(i, intPosition).SetBlockAttributeValue(lonReturnedIds(1), strCableConductor2WriteFirst)
Public Function Fun_StripUp(ByVal Po3dXY As Point3d, ByVal str_CableName As String, ByVal Str_CableConductor As String, ByVal strCable Conductor 2 Write As String, ByVal strCableConductor2WriteFirst As String, ByVal intPosition As Integer) As StringDim tAcadDoc As ApplicationServices.Document = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocumentDim myDB As.

I am trying to insert a table using a data link. I set up the Link through the DataLink manager and then insert the table using a range. I click OK to insert the table and after a few seconds of thinking ACAD sits there with no table on the screen. When I look in XREFs, the DL is there but says it is unrefrenced. Tried multiple ways of entering or setting up information to no avail.

I have to make it possible to insert table by choosing any of it's corners. I cannot get it to work with choosing bottom corners - I can't get the exact height of the table.
The sample code of the one-row table is:
acApp.Document doc = acApp.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;Editor ed = doc.Editor;Transaction tr = ed.Document.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();try{ BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(doc.Database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); Table tb = new Table(); tb.InsertColumns(0, 24, 1); tb.SetRowHeight(4); tb.Columns[0].Width = 24; tb.Columns[1].Width = 24; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextString = "some text"; tb.Cells[0, 0].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleRight; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextString = other_text_from_variable; tb.Cells[0, 1].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleCenter; tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0; tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0; tb.GenerateLayout(); tb.Position = // exactly... what should I do here? BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite); btr.AppendEntity(tb); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true); tr.Commit();}catch (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception ex){ ed.WriteMessage("
ERR: " + ex.Message);}finally{ tr.Dispose();}
Now... I'm trying to make 1-row table width the height 4. I should set tb.Position by just subtracting 4 from the Y-value of the clicked point... NOT.
tb.Height gives me 4. But I get the table with height 5.667. And I can't just use that value for subtracting, because even then, bottom-right corner is about 0.2 above or below clicked point... (X-value is correct and equals the clicked point's X-value.)
The same thing happens when I insert a table with the number of rows depending on the number of the records selected from DB. The same thing happens, when I use obsolete .NumRows and .NumColumns. What am I missing?

From Project Navigator, I R-click the Project in the SHEET tab. This is not "lit up" to choose.
I am in my cover sheet, paper space, with 51 sheets in the set.
I tried to use the Sheet Set Manager, but I have the same problem.

We are experiencing a case where the sheet list table will not insert into a page. It works on all other jobs, but this one won't let a sheet list table insert into any page, by any body.
I even tried inserting a block of the table from another set and then updating - all the lines disappeared.
We have done about 200 jobs with these, without trouble and this is the one giving us problems now.

I'm preparing plans for individual land owners. I know I need to filter parcels "by hand", center, zoom, scale etc. I'm using labels to get parcels numbers on the plan but I have to add name into title block. I don't want to use feature labels because concat function does not work (I need to show parcel number) plus the name I need to put on is quite long (it doesn't fit in the drawing).
My question is: Is there a way to put text into drawing / title block from attached table or from feature properties of shp or sdf files?
