I am having a catastrophic error in Inventor 2013.
When I attempt to save a drawing I have completed, I cannot save!
Can't save, save as or any other variation of save.
This is my issue every time I click save.
I use autocad architecture 2013 and it works just fine until the save turns to qsave whenever i want to save a drawing by save, save as and ctrl+s it works as qsave..how can I turn it back to SAVE ?

I am simply trying to print or save an Inventor .DWG file to a .PDF file via C# - the issue being that the .PDF page size must correspond to the active sheet size in Inventor.
When I try printing to a PDF using:
oPrint.Printer = "Adobe PDF";
oPrint.ScaleMode = PrintScaleModeEnum.kPrintBestFitScale;
oPrint.PaperSize = PaperSizeEnum.kPaperSize11x17;
oPrint.Orientation = PrintOrientationEnum.kLandscapeOrientation;
oPrint.SetSheetRange(1, 1);
oPrint.PrintRange = PrintRangeEnum.kPrintSheetRange;
oPrint.SubmitPrint();
I get a message saying I have to uncheck "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." in the Adobe PDF settings. Is there a way to do this programmatically?
When I export to PDF using:
TranslatorAddIn PDFAddin = (TranslatorAddIn)instance.ApplicationAddIns.get_ItemById("{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}");
TranslationContext oContext = instance.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext();
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism;

This works but I cannot set the PDF page size. Again, is there a way to do this programmatically?

When I "save copy as" dwg an IDw, I have an error with some ellips.
from IV 2013 to Autocad Mechanical.
Is it solve with IV 2014?
Over the years I have had to occassionally save (export) an Inventor idw into an AutoCAD dwg file. Now, at IV version 2013, does it still not happen correctly. Why doesn't the process export the title block, border, notes, etc. into AutoCAD's paper space and export the model and dimensions into model space all in one step. It's either all paper space or all model space. Then I have to spend time to correct the AutoCAD drawing. Is there a better method to do this that results in a correct AutoCAD drawing in one export step? Maybe a third party software?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that would export the BOM to a *.csv file format.... I used to save the information in exactly the same manor as viewed in Inventor. For some reason, my application is now saving the information all mixed up. If I am in Inventor and export it manually then open the *.csv file the information is exactly as I wanted it. Pragmatically, it jumbles up all of the information.... this is the code I have been using for quite some time.
Public Sub ExportBOM() ConfigurationLocation = "ExportBOM"
Dim oBOM As Inventor.BOM
oBOM = oAsmCompDef.BOM
oBOM.StructuredViewFirstLevelOnly = False

how can i get this to mimic programmatically what is done when you do it manually? Oh.... running IV 2011.
I have created a part that is going to be laser cut. The part is, effectively, a 2d profile that has been extruded to the material thickness.

I need to convert a idw drawing to PDF and JPG, when save to PDF there are no problems
but when I do it for JPG it seem to be a screen dump and not similar to the PDF I only need the drawing exact as the PDF. Is there a way for this.
We want to change iassemblies in a table using macro. When we change an iassemblies, inventor asks "Do you want to save changes to ......?". There are many iassemblies in our model, so it takes serious amount of time. We can disable all messages using macro, But this time after macro completion, there may be some errors in model, because we dont accept all changes. How can we accept all changes while running macro?
We use SilentOperation property. but in Save dialog, there are some parts indicated "yes" and some indicated "no". how can we change them "yes" and save all dependents?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Autodesk Inventor 2013 for the first time. I've installed it but I have no template files when I want to start a new file. I think I may have set up th wrong file locations, "C:UsersPublic1DocumentsAutodeskInventor2013TemplatesStandards.idw was not found" it the message I keep getting.
Where and how should I setup my files, projects and meanings behind what they mean. I am completely lost I think it may be a good idea to start fresh.
I have some problem with converting to PDF from Inventor .idw file. When I use “Save copy as” PDF I get some picture like this
But if I use command "Print" and choose “DragToPDF” or else, picture came out just fine.
Problem is that I have some programming tool where I need to use “Save copy as”
P.S.You can see differences in attachments.
When using the default Standard.idw template, if you place a view of a file called for example 'AB1234.ipt' then save the IDW, it defaults the name of the IDW to AB1234.idw.
Someone has goosed up one of our IDW templates, and this no longer happens. Irrespective of what I change the IDW part number or browser to now, it defaults the save name to Standard.idw.
I'm using ilogic to cycle through my drawing views & save each view as a .jpg. Problem I am having is that it saves basically a screen-shot instead of just the sheet, so my background comes through along with the sheet. Reading some earlier posts I've learned that this is by design and can't be changed. That said, what I would like to do is have ilogic manipulate the zoom distance, & centering the sheet in my view in height & width bringing each sheet to a consistant point just before saving as .jpg. I'm embedding the images into an Access database table. If I have the images at least saving the paper space on a consistant scale, I can simply crop out the undesired portions within my Access report.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in an inventor drawing rule to do a "save as" which saves the drawing as an Inventor dwg file rather than an AutoCAD dwg file?
The below saves as AutoCAD which is ok but I need the outputted drawing to be linked to the model. I don't want the code to save the entire assembly as this is done further down the line. I also don't want to save the current inventor dwg drawing from which the rule is run as this is just a template drawing.
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.Path&"2D_DRAWINGS"&iProperties.Value("Custom", "Drawing No.")&" (Rev "&Parameter("BEAUFORT_ARRANGEMENT_3.iam.DRAWING_REVISION_NO")&")"&".DWG", True)
I have a user that has created a new material which is now sitting as a local style. We require this new material in the library so that everyone can use it. I tried RMB on it but the save to library functon is greyed out. This is due to the styles being read only in the project file. So I have tried to change the project file so we can add the style and then I'd change it back again, but, even though I have checked out the project file from vault, it won't allow me to edit it. What else can be locking the project file? Is there some other way I can place the new material into the style library in the project file? There are quite a few of us that use the project file since we use vault, so I'm not sure I should create a new one with the same name and save over it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHave an easy file open and am trying to save a copy with a new name and Inventor either does nothing or crashes. Original full path and file name contains 243 characters (counting from drive letter to extension) New one will have 247 characters.
This is supposedly within the path/file name character limits for windows 7, which according to the ms website is 260 minus one for the null character at the end making it 259. So I am over 10 characters shy of the limit dictated by the OS.
Is inventor placing a stricter limit on the number of characters in the full path/file name? If so, why?
Obviously, working up the tree and adjusting upper level folder names is not an option as that would break every link in every assembly at that level or lower.
DWG configuration? I keep trying different configurations but none are acceptable to our quality department.
What I need is for dimensions to retain associativeness(not exploded), and for the dimensions to retain their fit (i.e. look like they do in the idw)
Can't save to Style Library
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to Save Copy As:
1) When setting file type to AutoCAD dwg or dxf, Inventor has to "think" for about 30 - 45 seconds (i.e. the hourglass cursor shows up).
2) I press 'Options and Inventor "thinks" for about 30-45 seconds, but nothing happens, no DXF export wizard pops up, so I can't change any export settings..
3) If I press save anyway, I get an error message: "problems encountered while saving the document" I have tried repairing, reinstalling, and uninstalling inventor but each option fails.
I am not seeing the "Save as to DWF" in my Inventor 2011 save as list.

One of my users has modified the application options, (switched of grid lines, and minor grid lines), applied them, and worked on his project. When he exits Inventor, and re-starts it, the application options go back to basic default, (i.e. Grid and minor grid lines appear). I've checked the Read/Write permissions of The Program files folder, the program files x86 folder, and the path in his my documents folder, and all are OK.
I exported the application options, after tweaking them, and if I import that exported file, everything does as we expect, i.e. grid and minor grid lines are switched off.
