Is it possible to use the 'Link Levels of Detail' command via the API ?
I can activate the command by using the CommandManager
oContDef = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AssemblyBonusTools_LinkLODsCmd")oContDef.Execute
But the command then requires a UI selection - I want to select the iLogic LOD.
I've tried using the CommandManager.PostPrivateEvent but to no avail.
I need to export our BOMs from inventor into a csv file that can be loaded into our ERP system. All of that code is working great and the help files were useful in getting this completed. However it only will work if the assembly model is in the master level of detail!! This is not good at all since the only reason we use levels of detail is becasue our main level assemblys are 1000+ comp and our computers cant function with these levels of models in the master level of detail!! Is there anyway around this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly file in which I have created several levels of detail. My intent was to suppress specific parts in the assembly (for views in the idw and to calculate the weight of the assembly).
I have noticed that the mass is incorrect for the level of detail that I want calculated. I determined this after creating a new assembly and deleting all parts that were not used in this level of detail. And, by viewing all parts individually and adding them up by hand.
All parts in the assembly have the correct density. I have selected to calculate the mass properties of the active level of detail when updating.
My questions: Am I correct in assuming that the assembly will caculate only the parts that are not suppressed? Or, am I thinking of it wrong? Is this particular assembly messed up? I haven't noticed this before and am now concerned that my weights have been incorrect.
My solution to use right now is to create a new assembly just for figuring out the weight. I think there is a better way.
Looking to see if any out there has a "Double Rolling Chain Link Fence Detail for opennings greater than 25 feet" who does not mind sharing. Although I have seen a double cantelever sliding gate of geater openning width, Of all my years in the building modelling field I had never seen a detail, or an actual gate for that matter. This is for a regular galvanized chain link fence construction. My search online has been fruitless.

then I open a new drawing, put down my assembly and get this:
They say a picture says a thousand words, and after countless re-tries I'll let them do the talking. That way there's no swearing involved
I'm trying to create a parts list that will show item numbers for the sub assemblies and the individual parts for each sub assembly. When I'm creating the parts list in the drawing, the option for "All Levels"is greyed out once I select my source assembly. How I can show this in a Parts list?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've assembly with multiples sub-assemblies, when I put part list with "parts only", it shows all parts of sub-assemblies and when I put with "structured", it shows all sub-assemblies(structured).
Is there a possibility to show selected sub-assemblies in parts while remaining as structured in one part list?
I am looking for a way to export the structured BOMview from Inventor to either Excel or Word. That’s all good and I can do that but I struggle to find a way to include “All Levels” of the structured BOM view. At the moment I use a “For Each item in BOMview” loop to cycle through the BOMView items.
I have also set the StructuredViewFirstLevelOnly property to False. The For Each loop does not pick up any items inside sub-assemblies.
What would be a nice way to drill down and get an item output like this:
1
2
2.1
2.1
3
4
5
5.1
5.2
Etc.
How do I turn this circle off?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to highlight connector cutout details on a panel using the circular detail feature.
The views created are fine, however the detail indicator, the circle with arrows and identifier clutter the face of the object. If i could turn them off i would then use a leader to point to the detail instead, which in my case will be much neater.
Is it possible to set a view representation and level of detail (combine them) at the same time in an assembly. Or do they have to be set individually?
Attached images show the first assembly option with four sections together. The second image shows the second assembly option with the top and bottom sections only.
In the idw of my assembly hidden detail is turned off although there is still sub assemblies shown through the main container. Also when there is a section these sub assemblies are show with dotted lines an overlap components they are behind.
My questions are
1. Why are they showing through components they are behind.
2. Why are the lines dashed
See attached image.
Is there a way to disable the level of detail? I personally find this feature most annoying.
I am now starting to understand it after being tripped up by it early in my Inventor carrier.
But even now in understanding it more, I see no point in it.
The problem I have is I can have more then one level of detail in my model to show a specific way in my
one drawing. Then this specific level of detail when changed for a different drawing will screw with the first drawing.
Why can't one just suppress certain items without having to worry about this. Heck, isn't this what Iparts and iassemblies are for?
Is there a property or method that can control the location of the name for a detail view? For example the picture below. Detail "B" represents the api default. Detail "C" representes where I want to put the text. All the properties, aside from "Name" apparently deal with the detail view itself.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI dont know if this is possible but what i am trying to do is create a custom detail ballon & outline similar to what is attached. this is how our client wants it to look & currently we create the detail & then sketch the outline & add a sketched symbol which has the identifier. We then turn off the detail layer which has the default outline.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to copy a section view or detail view from one sheet to another, without having to copy the base view?
If so how?
If not, why?
I am creating a large assembly that will contain many level of details. When I complete a "section" of components, I create a LOD for just that section (all other components suppressed). However, all the components I add after that LOD has been created are added to that LOD. I would like all additional components to be automatically suppressed, unless I have that LOD active.

I have an assembly and using ilogic to control the wide of the machine.The wider machine has some different brackets which I am turning on and off by using "component . IsActive" in ilogic.
I had to make a new level of detail for it to work, and this is all fine except everytime I open this assembly it defaults back to master level of detail, so I always get this error.
How do I control level of detail with ilogic or how am i suppose to turn parts on and off.I have seen some impressive assemblies controlled with ilogic how do they do it.
The only topic i've found is old so I would like to ask if there is a possibility nowadays to turn the scale defaulty OFF.

I have a flat pattern with ordinate set dimension, taken detail from one end.
parent view having ordinate dimension from left end and i have taken detail view of right end.
i need detail view dimension with same origin dimension as like parent view.
How can I move a detail view to another sheet in a drawing in 2009? I have only been able to copy the detail and it's parent view to the 2nd sheet and then suppress the parent view on the 2nd sheet so that only the detail view is visible.
However, when I go back to the first sheet and try to suppress or delete the detail view, it also deletes / suppresses the detail circle from the parent view.
im trying to make an template we can use as default template..
now when i make a section view or a detail view of a part, the annotation is placed above the section view..
I would like to have that underneath the view.
I know can drag it down there, but is there a way to have the annotation underneath the view when its created? would save me and the rest who is going to use the template a lot of time..
I know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.
I know I'v done this before but I'm having trouble getting a detail view to just show the jagged cut lines where it crosses the part only & not all the way around it. See images attached to show the problem.

When i set a specific Plane in my new Level of Detail (Right click on the box set this view as "top") and save, i switch back to master and now the view from the new level of detail transferred over.
How can i make custom top,front,right niews for my new level of detail so it wont affect other details (especially my master view).
While creating a drawing yesterday, I noticed that the RMB Options to modify a detail view has disappeared?
- Cutout Shape
- Detail Boundry
- Connecting line
I am not sure how long this has been like this, What I do know is that I had a corrupt model, (Broke when it migrated to 2013) I restored from backup and tested the model in ver 2012.
I can not say if bouncing between the two versions of inventor has perhaps changed something, or of this option has not been available for a while?

I am wondering if it is possible to do a mass change of all project files at once. What I wish to change is my content center location, template location and style manager file locations. I have all these setup already and tested with one project but I dont want to do it with the other ... LOTS! ... manually unless I must.

I'm guessing changing it to another layer that does not print is one option, or?
I've created a view in my presentation file and tweaked all my components to where I want them. How do I change the level of detail associated with a particular explosion already created? I know when you create the view you can select which representation and level of detail to use, but how do you change these after the exploded view is created?
