I am using Inventor 2012. I want to put a label with a prompted entry. So I did this,
SCALE: <scale>
However, when filling out the symbol it only puts in the scale without the label. The reason I am doing this is because my text is right justified and I need the label to move with the text.
I use a CommandManager.Pick command to select my drawing view and i want to put information of this view to a prompted entry in my sketched symbols, i have many same symbols in my page and i want to put a different description for each symblos but with a same prompted entry name, ex.: <NAME>

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up some new title blocks, I have some "prompted entry" Properties that I want to incorporate, I've got them in the title blocks OK but I can't seem to get em to return a default value, the prompts are all coming in blank when the dialog box comes up. I have set the defaults to what I need on the original ANSI template with the new title block, but when I create a new drawing using that template, the title block comes in without any values set. Is there a way of setting them to return a default value initially that you would change if required, I'm sure I'm missing something very basic!!
Also, in the 'edit property' fields dialog box, there does not seem to be a way of inserting symbols into the value field, have I not turned on the right variable, or missed have I something else??
I have been attempting to automate some prompted entry (PE) values using iLogic and the SetPromptResultText command.
The command works on the customer-supplied template I have if I create a new PE called <DELETEME> - my code also works on this new PE even if I delete the "<" & ">" from either end of the string so it becomes "DELETEME".
The command doesn't work on the customer supplied fields of "PURPOSE OF ISSUE" & "PROJECT REF No" but if I add < & > to either end (so they become "<PROJECT REF No>" & "<PURPOSE OF ISSUE>" respectively) and modify my code to look for that instead, lo and behold it works.
why it works with the "<" & ">" on the ends of the string but not without?
My guess is that the "<" & ">" allow the PE to have spaces and without it Inventor 2013 throws the dummy in the dirt and refuses to play nice! - Just tested that theory and it's clearly cobblers.
Here's the sub-routine I wrote (with the working "<" & ">" still in place):
Sub UpdatePromptedEntries(oDoc As DrawingDocument)'assumes the oDoc is activatedDim oPromptEntryDim actSheet As Sheet = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet'For Each oSheet In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.SheetsFor Each oSheet In
[code]........
When creating a title block I use iProperties and Prompted entry.
Now I want to place all entries and properties in a form so that I have everything together.
With the iProperties it works because you can select the iproperties when you create the form but I can not select the prompted entry to place in the form
Is there a way to select the prompted entry to place in the form?
Is it possible to write multiple prompted entry fields down in a single pass? As it is now, you can see the taskbar reporting as it writes down each line.
Essentially i've got 6 different fields i'm trying to write down using code like shown below:
If oTB.GetResultText(oTitleBox1) <> Me.Title1.Value Then Call ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.SetPromptResultText(oTitleBox1, Title1.Value)End IfIf oTB.GetResultText(oTitleBox2) <> Me.Title2.Value Then Call oTB.SetPromptResultText(oTitleBox2, Title2.Value)End If
Just wondering if there's a way it can be written down in a single pass to save time or if it's a limitation of prompted entry text.
How could I read / change prompted entry through code from title block (for example DIN) within VB.Net?
View 3 Replies View Related First, it requires there to be a prompted entry text box in the title block named <SCALE>, is there any way to write to a textbox that is not prompted entry? The prompt when a new drawing or sheet is created is misleading and makes users think they need to manually fill out the prompt. Secondly, this code works on multi-sheet drawings but it concludes by making the last sheet active. Since we are triggering this rule before save it's a nuisance to have the drawing switch sheets everytime you do a save. Ideally, the current active sheet should remain active when the rule runs. Here is the
For Each oSheet In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets
ActiveSheet=ThisDrawing.Sheet(oSheet.Name)
If oSheet.TitleBlock Is Nothing Or oSheet.DrawingViews.count=0 Then Exit Sub
oTitleBlock=oSheet.TitleBlock
oTextBoxes=oTitleBlock.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes

I am trying to create a template and want all of the revision material to show on all the sheets but the prompted entry that I have put into the template makes me re-enter it every time I change sheets. Is there any way to have it flow through onto all of the sheets instead of having to re-enter all the information.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.
I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.
Usually I use the TextBoxes. But its text would not change.
How to use vb.net to add a prompted text into the definition of a sketched symbol?
I'm trying to unskillfully crash my way through writing a VBA program for modifying Inventor drawing border info, and have managed through cannibalizing other programs to achieve 95% of what I wanted (ie the iproperties part).
Prompted Entries via VBA..I'd like to create a sync 'Prompted Entries' from sheet 1, across all sheets button.
The 4 prompted entry fields are always..I'd love some VBA code that could read the above 4 Prompted Entry values from Sheet:1 and then sync these values across multiple drawing sheets within one .idw file if more than one sheet was present.
I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.

I use prompted entries in the title blocks in some sheets in my drawings. I then use iLogic to fill in the prompted entries. Is there a way to turn off the prompted entries box when I create a new sheet?
Is there something other than a prompted entry that is not linked to a file (drawing, part, or assembly) that can be placed in a title block and filled in with iLogic?
Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.
If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.
E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.
If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.
This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.
I'm trying to add to a right click menu for an Inventor addin using C#. I'm basing mine off of a VB sample. However, it appears VB allows the add command to be missing values, whereas C# will not allow any empty values.The 3 commas in a row are where the error occurs. C# error is simple "argument missing".

I have a section of code (see below) which runs a program which highlights a part/subassembly red, then gives the user a list dialgue box in order to easily replace the compent. At present, I have this code repeated for each part/subassembly in my main assemby (i.e. FRAME, POWER_RISER, BUSBAR_CHAMBER, BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY...).
Having the code repeated multiple times, means it is very time consuming to modify. I want to be able to generate a list then have the code below, run for each of the entries in the list. So I need something along the lines of
dim mylist as something
mylist = FRAME, POWER_RISER, BUSBAR_CHAMBER, BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY...
FOR each entry in mylist
run all the code below (with the words 'BUSBAR_ASSEMBLY' replaced with 'mylist'

I am going to be saving a template with one of my custom frame profiles from the content center already placed in it. I'll place it say 100" long, just an arbitrary number. How can I create a dialogue that pops up when I open the template file, it asks me for the value of 3 variables, then changes the length of my content center frame rail to the sum of those 3 variables? I've seen pop-ups before and know how to set the rule, I'm just not sure how to change the parameters..
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe only thing that has changed since Friday is the install of SP1. I use the old dialog boxes instead of the mini-toolbars (don't get me wound up). I just noticed yesterday some strange behavior when I change the value in the dialog box.
In the example in the attached screenshots, I started the fillet command and selected edges. The default fillet was ".3" and I want to change to ".4375". As you can see in the image, at one point while typing, Inventor decided to highlight the entry again, and as you see overwrote the ".4" with "375".
I'm checking other dialog boxes now but so far all I know is the fillet dialog box. Also does it on the value of a variable fillet too.

I'd like to make it so that a user may add a button for my addin by only having to modify an xml entry.
None of the values (name, descrip, tooltip) are null, and reading from the xml is working properly. Each internal name is unique. Why this code would result in an error? The error message is attached.
If there's a known way to dynamically add buttons(in a loop), I'd be happy to use an established method as well.
Element[] QueryArray = query.ToArray();foreach (XElement item in QueryArray){string name = item.Attribute("Name").Value;string descrip = item.Attribute("Description").Value;string tooltip = item.Attribute("Tooltip").Value;tempButton = null;tempButton = oControlDefinitions.AddButtonDefinition(name, name, CommandTypesEnum.kEditMaskCmdType, m_AddinClientID, descrip, tooltip, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);oStandardsLinks.CommandControls.AddButton(tempButton);}

In our idw's we have a parameter that is passed from the part to the idw parts list. When we/I edit the length of a part, notice how the entry for "Cutlength" is jogged down a little. To get this back to the correct position, I have to grab the parts list and move it a little. The text jumps to where its supposed to be. Any futher edits to the length of the part does not cause this again. Have never seen anything like this before 2013.

I have Created a Block which has got some 12 attributes , when i invoke insert command and insert the Block , It was displaying only first 8 attributes , then when i click next the remaining four attributes were displayed under the previous inputs which i have given .
that is for eg : If i have attributes named a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l .
In the first dialog box it asks
a =
b =
c =
d =
e =
f =
g =
h =
then i click next
e =
f =
g =
h =
i =
j =
k =
l =
so inputs for e,f,g,h and all given already but it was displayed
again so i need to press tab key for 4 times and come to input "i = " and so on
I don want this to happen. i want it either all 12 prompted in single dialog box or
atleast no repetition of prompts.(8first&4alone in next)
And i already knew about the System Variable attdia & i dont want to give input via command prompt

I am looking for a way where a user is prompted to select a row of blocks and then that row is completely mirrored about the middle of the selection set - such that if the blocks are originally inserted, from left to right "A" "B" C" then after mirroring, we want them t occupy (roughly) the same space in the drawing area as "C" "B" "A".
Then, immediately after mirroring that selection set in place, each individual block that makes up the selection set is mirrored about its insertion point along the x axis..... basically i need to mirror a selection set of a row of blocks so I change their order of occurrence and then mirror each individual block back again to the way it is meant to look.
Is this possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedC3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).
However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.
Is there any way to turn this behavior off?
