AutoCAD Inventor :: Minimize Out Of Process Round Trips When Coding
Oct 13, 2011
I have noticed quite a performance hit when coding the same thing in .NEt compared to VBA. I suspect this to be due to out of process calls between .net and Inventor.
Is there any way to bundle many calls and send them as one.
Example: I want to change the parameter value of a constraint and then update the assemblydocument. Can this be bundled into one call to Inventor?

I'm attempting to create a model that autmotaically derives ready-to-go drawings. I've gotten pretty far in doing so but have a few issues with regards to dimensioning. As I'm sure you're aware, when the model changes, a dimension to that feature, which has been removed, is also deleted and some those dimensions do not return once the model is changed back.
I have looked into using different view representations, but have found that they do not accommodate feature supression.
Is there a way to program in the dimensioning of a view.
Create center points for of the holes and center lines.
And for a feature note such as "Hole and Thread" dimensioning, when the model expands, the leader and text length do not change and proceed into the view. Is there a way to fix or anchor the text to a certain spot on the drawing, and have the leader length expand and change accordingly to that point.

I am setting up template .ipts and .idw for my company, and i run Adept to save and store my files. Now i have a code to automatically make a .idw after i save an .ipt. but then after every save (adept saves the .ipt a lot of times) it will ask to make a drawing for the .ipt. well i was wondering if there is a code to put in a rule to disable the event triggers, and place that rule on the trigger after close document. so that the next time i open the document no event triggers will work.

I want to create a single map of my country that will highlight all the trips (about 10) I made with my car. To that end I have a mapping software that given the initial and final location of the trip it will create a map displaying the route traveled with a highlighted mark on the map along the route taken. This map is created in Adobe Flash format that I can screen capture creating a jpg file.

I tried unsuccessfully to create a lip around a curve surface and there is no flat plane to select for the sketch. Wonder if this could be done in Inventor. My version is 2011.

how to round a parameter using ilogic.
For example. I have Roperev=Roperev_1. Roperev_1 is determined by an excel equation. I need Roperev to produce a nominal number because this parameter dries a coil revolution and I need the revolution to be a whole number.
I can not just round the excel result because the excel result needs to be multiplied by 2.53 to get the resultant for Roperev_1

Right now I am trying to model a concrete embed plate. The design calls for 1/2" round steel embeds at the contour of the line in the attached image. What is the best way to extrude this line into a 1/2" DIA dowel? I have tried the revolve command and sweep command without any luck... I know the sweep command would probably work the best but I can't seem to draw a 1/2" dia circle perpendicular to the line.

I have gotten to a point where I have the round text,, I have a seal with a blank space.. I would like to put the round text into the blank space,, but when I try, and no matter how I try,, the text is a white square with round text on it when I try to place it in the circle.
The other thought that came to me,, what if ..(the text circle size was a guess) the text does not fit.. how do I expand or collape it? I know I have in the pass while playing with round text.. gone back to that effect and changed angles, start points etc.. is that the only way?
I have attached what I have so far. ( I tried to attach the Paint.net file but I guess you can't, so these are the two I am working on,, as layers in Paint.net)

I have a square to round transition that I need formed up and the shop is telling me that they would prefer to split this thing at the corners rather than the flats. I've tried two different ways of doing this but how to handle this part. It's 10.75" OD at the bottom and 2'-4" square at the top and 1'3" in length and made of 1/4" stainless steel plate. The shop wants this in four bent pieces that they can weld together down the corners.
I've tried making just the one side but I'm not getting the results I would like to see. Making the full transition (as in the picture above) gives the finished result I am looking for but I can't separate it into multiple sides.

I've attached the file (Inventor 2013). The sketch shown is a raised lip I'd like to have around a future opening. I actually want that sketch to wrap all the way around the body, but taper down to 0 in the rear as there are to be hinge plates. This is going to be a grill/smoker and there needs to be a 3/8" raised lip at the future seam of the top and bottom. Shown in the model is just the top portion.

I know you can obviously set the tolerance in the styles to round to the nearest 1/16 or 1/32, but is there a way to make it always round a dimension up instead of to the nearest? IV2012

When creating positional reps in Inventor 2012 SP1 it rounds them to a 3 place decimal. So If I want the constraint to be at 1.1875 it rounds it to 1.188. Is there anyway to change this to 4 place decimal?

We are using the linework coding to process our figures and the survey .txt file provided to me uses codes to begin lines with "+" & "-". For example, driveways are coded + DR1 for begin and - DR1 to end the line. The linework process works fine, its when I go to display the point in the description keys that are causing me problems. All the points that are in between the begin and end points display to the appropriate style because they are coded as DR*. The begin and end do not display correctly as the + & - isn't being recognized in the description key. I tried many alternate ways such as *DR*, + DR*, - DR*, with nothing working.
Is there a different format I need to be using? There are way to many points to go thru to move the + & - behind the code.

I have a solid bar which has a diameter equal to the nternal dimensions of a SHS. I am trying to create a weld, basically to fill the gap with a weld. I tried a similar arrangement with a Circular Hollow Section and it worked perfectly. I have tried fillet and groove for the SHS but it will not accept it.

Is there any way to place a full round or bullnose feature on the end of a cylinder without having to use any formulas or pay attention to dimensions similar to the three face selection of the full round fillet option?
Obviously you can take the diameter/2, but the three face selection of the full round fillet is quite simple, and if you didn't originally plan on having the full round it takes extra digging to come up with the right parameter to use.

Why does the Round() function require that the number of decimal places be either a number or an object if you want to use a variable? It seems that a Single should work here, but iLogic won't accept it.
See sample code below which is rounding off dimension values. If I dim the variable "somenumber" as Single or Double, I get this error message from the Round() function: "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Round' can be called without a narrowing conversion."
When I dim "somenumber" as an object it works, but this seems unnecessary when all it is storing is a single digit number. Why wouldn't Single or Double work for this variable?
Here's the code snippet:
'Dim Current Sketch & Count Constraints
Dim oSketch As Sketch = ThisApplication.ActiveEditObject
Dim oDimCount As Single = oSketch.DimensionConstraints.Count
[Code]....

I have a problem with Inventor pro 2013 rounding of the area moment of inertia to zero (region properties). For example if I create a new sketch and draw a 1 mm x 0.5 mm rectangle and measure the area moment of inertia it will be 0 for one of the pricipal axes. If I change the rectangle to 1 mm x 0.6 mm it doesn't round it off. Seems like there's a problem with the precision in the calculations somehow.
I have tried to change the document units to microns but the same thing happens.
is there a way to make inventor do this calculation correctly?

In Inventor 2010 we have a sheet metal, with a lot of different straps. But we cannot create round jogs between them. It's only possible, if all straps are created at the same time with the same size etc.
Please see the attached file. The upper version, is the one, it looks in the moment and we want an apperance like the lower one.
Is it possible? Because we cannot add all the round holes later on in development of the sheet metal.

I could not find Round Perforated Plate style / appearance on Autodesk Inventor 2013. Maybe it called "Perforated Metal 01 style" on previous Autodek Inventor version.
I just found Oblong Perforated Plate as attached.
