AutoCAD Inventor :: Large Macro Button Doesn't Display
Jun 21, 2012
We have some custom macro's running in Inventor wich we call from the ribbon > user commands.
In Inventor 2011 we used the large and small together and the icon's were shown properly.
Now we have moved to Inventor 2013 and the large icon's arnen't shown properly. They display as an large orange @ signin a square box.
The Icon's meet al the requirement, .bpm, 16x16 & 32x32 pix, 24 bit, naming (Modulename.Macronam.Small/Large.bmp)

For several years I've been programming in Inventor and AutoCAD, with VBA. Making macros and creating a button for them in the toolbar of Inventor is no problem. What disturbs me slightly is that the name of the button is the same as the name of the macro. In VBA you can't create functions with spaces in the name. So the name of the toolbar button often looks quite silly.
Is there a way to change the name and the tooltip-text of the toolbar button without loosing the link to the original macro? In AutoCAD this is no problem, but Inventor...

I know I can make a button on the ribbon for running a specific macro. But, is this possible for iLogic rules? I would love to be able to run rules and launch forms from the ribbon!?

I use this macro to toggle my browser from Model to Vault, and have since IV2009, and I have always used a shortcut key combination to access it. Now that I have installed 2012, the keyboard shortcut doesn't stick. Every time I close Inventor and re-open it, I have to reassign the key combination to this macro. This equals annoying! Maybe I didn't properly implement the macro in VB?

Our Council has been updating our school system. We have the design suite and have chosen Inventor 2013, AutoCAD 2013, Inventor Fusion.
The issue is that in Inventor the EDIT FORM tool isn't on the Ribbon. It also isn't on the add in's for Inventor 2013 either.
We also downloaded the suite direct from AutoDESK.

I am currently running Inventor 2009 64-bit SP2 and periodically (and only recently), I have had the problem of my keyboard keys not displaying what I am typing. This is only affecting Inventor and no other program to my knowledge. To make matters worse, it happens absolutely randomly. In fact, it happened just 4 minutes ago, which prompted this post! I was typing some words out and in the middle of the word, it changed what the inputted keys were. To give an example, the letter P comes in as L. The letter S, comes in as the letter G. The letter M comes in as semicolon. Catch my drift? At first I thought it changed to a Dvorak key setting, but even if that were the case (which it is not), why would it do it randomly?

I have created a ribbon bar in autocad 2012 using API and c#. On ribbon button i am executing a Command method which display a wizard for copying some files.
Now i want to run a macro before executing the ribbon button command method. Which display a message box with yes and no . if user click yes command method will executes itself and display wizard for copy files.
If user click no command method will not execute and return. This will allow user to use macro for customizing the file copy process.

I am trying to write a macro for a button that when I press, it goes to a certain folder on a server. Normally when you click on the "open" button, it takes you to the last file location. I want that to be ignored an goes to a certain folder.

After starting my previous thread "What formula will work to achieve this result" I decided to post this new thread because I have changed my mind and will now be using the external Excel file that the "Extract Data" creates to do my calculations.
Here's what I would like to do: create a Macro [button] in Excel with the following conditions:
*
Sample of excel spreadsheet:
*
MANUF NoSUB No.DESCRIPTION** UNIT QUANTITY
A123494456TYPE A, XXXX XXX * * * * EA** * * * 45
A423520374YA1AM, XXXXXXXXXX * **EA** * * * 55
A148231375TYPE B, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 33
A146151725A1AAM, XXXXXXXXXX * * EA** * * * 67
A135621873TYPE A, XXXXXXXXX * * * EA** * * * 24
1. * * * CONDITION #1:
IF "DESCRIPTION" TAB ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE A" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" TAB ["E" COLUMN] SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW AND DIVIDE IT BY 20, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.*
2. * * * CONDITION #2:
IF "DESCRIPTION" ["C" COLUMN] CONTAINS "TYPE B" AS PART OF TEXT/DESCRIPTION, TAKE THE "QUANTITY" SPECIFIED ON THAT PARTICULAR ROW ["E" COLUMN] AND DIVIDE IT BY 10, ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST ONE.
3. * * * AUTOMATICALLY SAVE THE EXCEL FILE AFTER THIS MACRO HAS BEEN UTILIZED.

I just installed a student version of Inventor Pro on my comptuer. I have used this and several other similar software packages before. My problem: when I open a new part file, it takes me to a gray screen. No coordinate axes, view cube, nothing. When I click "Create 2D Sketch," still nothing. Same gray screen. If I draw a line, it doesn't show anything.
I've gone to View -> Object Visibility, and everything seems to be checked off as it should be. I've also clicked User Interface, and it shows the View Cube among other things as being selected.
The software didn't prompt me for an activation key, not sure if that may be relevant to the problem?

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.
Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

And in the 157 page Macro PDF (really, did it need to be this long? How about an easy-command sheet), it says you can use the key command Ctrl+Shift+R to start recording... Well, that brings up the ruler.
I use Macros a lot in Excel (I record the commands that I want, then tweak in the editor), so I get how they are supposed to work - but I'm no programmer, and without the ability to record, I'm completely handcuffed. This really shouldn't be 1% as difficult as it has been

I am having a problem with a bunch of existing drawings. The drawings displayed fine with Autocad 2009 but with 2010 the blocks have huge rectangles drawn around them. (so big they extend off the title block) We have a few machines running older versions and the drawings display fine but any machine with 2010 all displays these boxes.

I received a drawing from a client where the architectural ticks display very large. The leader arrow shows as the correct size but the dimension tick does not. I went into the dimension style manager (dimstyle) and everything seems to be in order. The tick size is set up to be 1/16". I tried to dredge up out of my memory the autocad variables that mess with the size of the archtectural ticks like "dimasz" and "dimblk", but with no luck.
Currently using Autocad 2013.

I imported data from a SHP file to a base drawing I plan to use to attach, and I wanted to replace data points with data symbol definition blocks. However, when I create a symbol style and try to edit it by double-clicking, I get a *Cancel* on the command line and nothing happends. When I pressing the "Style" button on the Display Manager tab in the Task Pane, same thing.I suspect that I missed a step - or several - along the way of importing the SHP file.

I have a custom toolbar that I've used for years in an olderversion of CAD. Now I'm in 2012 and loaded my custom toolbar in from my previous CUI. Naturally it dropped in all question marks even though I have all paths in the support file added. I even copied all my bitmaps to autodesk's default bitmap location. Neither work.
So after that I went into the CUI and manually selected the bitmap image for "small image" and "large image". It shows in the CUI now, but no luck on the main board. (also, not that this matters, must be a glitch but it won't even show in the CUI until i manually select another bitmap and reselect my origional desired image)
So then I tried taking the whole path and copying it into the CUI manually but it goes right back to defaulting to (MYIMAGENAME.BMP) without keeping the extension. My other custom toolbars loaded with all the pictures but this one just refuses to cooperate.

I just loaded 2014 onto a new computer and poof every custom toolbar has a question mark. Yet the image displays on the preview in the cui.
All of my button images are in a folder on my C: drive and that path is in the support file search path.
I went to one of the buttons and click on the small and large image and browsed to the folder with the BMP files and clicked it for both small and large.. And when I clicked 'ok' everything started to display correctly.

I have been upgrading to X6 from X5. I wanted to install a CorelDRAW macro called "Function Plotter", written by Alex Vakulenko, into X6. When upgrading from X4 to X5 I just manually placed a certain file (Plotter14.gms) into the Draw GMS folder in the program directory. Then back in CorelDRAW X5 I choose Tools > Options > Customization > Commands in order to place an icon in the toolbar, making access to the macro. It worked back then. However when I try the same procedure in X6 it doesn't work. I can see the file under "Commands" and place an icon, but nothing happens when I press the button. Maybe it has something to do with 64 bit, which from what I can see in this Forum causes a lot of trouble (scanner drivers, plugins, etc)?
This macro is extremely important for me. I have tried contacting Alex, but with no success so far. In the meanwhile I need to install X5 again..

My drawings contain active linework, civil 3D data (contours, etc.), and references.When a plot is executed without the publisher - everything appears normal. Specifically, all contours appear on plots and PDFs.
However, when plotting using the AutoCAD publisher (to batch many plots together, 70 or so plan sheets in 4 drawings) some Civil 3D data does not appear. Most contours are shown - however contours from a specific surface (existing ground surface) do not appear.
The publisher result is the same whether using a PDF driver or physical plot driver - these contours do not appear.
The style used to display the existing contours is used on other surfaces within the plot set - and oddly these contours appear on the publisher plot. However, no contours from this specific existing ground surface will display using the PUBLISHER.
Are there alternative ways to batch plot a set of drawings that I can explore without further cost?

I have and array that looks fine in model space but when viewed in a viewport from paperspace, sections of the array look like they are wiped out. Going back to model space everything looks fine. The only way I can get it to fill in is to delete the viewport and create another one. It's then fine for awhile but before long, areas are missing again. I've redone the viewport three times and it's starting to drive me nuts.

When I switch from 2D top view to an isometric view my cursor disappears. This is a completely new drawing file so maybe something is not set right.
