I am currently looking into mirroring and arrays and i wondered if it is possible to have some kind of adaptive mirroring activated or used.
The aim is as i change the instance which is arrayed or mirrored i want the objects in the array and the mirrored parts changed too.
If it is´not possible just like that i would want to do a macro or i logic form that updates the array or mirror to have matching parts again.
I got a simple question about the creation of copies of an object. Is it possible to have the objects in the mirroring of an object change with the object used as reference for mirroring?
If there is no function to do this directly is there a way to do it via Ilogics to update the mirrored objects? If possible even by deleting and creating a new the mirroring yet not manually but by i logic?

I'm working on a small design project and creating a program in Inventor that utilizes a 2D Sketch to calculate the forces in a 2D static Bridge.... Although this is Besides the point.
In order to do what I want, I've found it will be easier to use Arrays. Unfortunately I'm having trouble passing arrays through various functions and setting them to each other.
These errors are constantly popping up
Rule Compile Errors in Bridge Stress, in Sketch Test Code.ipt
Error on Line 60 : Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.
Error on Line 63 : Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.

Error on Line 174 : Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.
Error on Line 308 : Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.
Attached you'll find the code I'm using.
Is there a way to declare a non-bound array (dynamic array?) in iLogic?
There are examples of set bounds array:
MyDoubleValues = New Double(){1.2,2.2,3.3}
But doing something like:
Dim MyDoubleValues() As Double ---Or--- MyDoubleValues = New Double()
Results in an error. On the other hand, the following totally works:
Dim MyDoubleValues(1) As Double
Which creates an array with a Ubound of 2
I am into tracking solar array's. So designing for high winds is paramount. I wonder if Inventor will have a package for analysis of wind loads. It is a different kind of FEA. Call it a 3-D distributed load.

I was thinking I would copy the entire design in vault to a new project. I could then open it up and mirror the entire assembly. Would that work?
I have a problem with a model and the drawing. In the model i have mirrored some holes. In the drawing the hole-table shows some of the mirrored holes on the position of the original ones. Also some entries are doubled.
I have also tried to redo a fresh drawing, the problem persists.

It still folded even when origin is in flat pattern.
Coming from a background of ProE, Usually a mirrored group of constrained parts would mirror with alternative constraints locking them in place. Is there a way to do this in Inventor?
Every time I mirror constrained parts through a Datum plane, the results are loose components that could be dragged anywhere. I might aswell have just placed them again, though it gives me a good idea of where they should be.
Without grounding them, is there someway of locking these compents in the mirrored position.
Also, bolted connections pick up on patterned holes and populate them, yet there is only one constraint to the original hole and the rest can rotate around it.
Civil 3D 2014.I want to attach attribute information and/or metadata to my array. Is this possible?

I'm wondering how to create huge arrays in the best way. I have a circle and want it thousands of columns and tens of thousands of rows. Anytime I start to make this AutoCAD gets extremely slow and I was told that turning some into blocks would be best.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently drawing a lithography mask in Autocad 2013 student version, where I created a lot of arrays. My problem is that I can't seem to align these structures. Some of them need to be aligned along the y-axis and some along the x-axis.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to figure out if chaining parameters will accomplish what i'm trying to do, which is...
Imagine an elevation of a concrete pier or column showing the horizontal stirrup cage around the vertical reinforcement. If like to be able to use one parameter to control the space between elements (cage c/c) and another to control the total length of the array (height of column or # of cages). Then the actual number of elements would be total length/spacing.
Also, arrays alway seem to have fixed spacing, anyway to make the parameter control the spacing of the array?
I have been attempting to pass a string array contained in a variant to the AutoCAD method AcadPlot.SetLayoutsToPlot. I am using late binding without a Interop assembly because we have several versions of AutoCAD in this company and I would like to support all of them from the same code base.The method wants a variant that contains a string array passed byref. The Microsoft documentation on COM interop from VB.NET makes it sound like the compiler will marshal it correctly by default, but it always throws a COMException (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).
The stack trace shows it is trying to anyway:
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.InternalLateCall(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack, Boolean IgnoreReturn)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateCall(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack, Boolean IgnoreReturn)
But no matter how I code it I cannot get this variant array passed to AutoCAD.I have tried:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
' VB default marshalling
Dim layoutarr = New Object() {"Layout1"}
doc.Plot.SetLayoutsToPlot(layoutarr)
' using a VariantWrapper
Dim layoutarr = New Object() {"Layout1"}
Dim wrapper As New System.Runtime.InteropServices.VariantWrapper(layoutarr)
doc.Plot.SetLayoutsToPlot(wrapper)

As intensively as AutoCAD ActiveX uses variant arrays, I know this problem is going to come up again and again for me as I try to migrate code over to .NET.
I am trying to make a huge array of circles (4000 x 12000 or so). I work in microfabrication and need this to make a mask for lithography of a membrane. What is the best practice to minimize the memory usage? I.e. arrays, blocks, groups? I tried making an array of circles one row and 4000 columns then making that a block. Then repeating that block down for multiple rows, maybe 100, then making that a block. Repeating this until I have thousands of them. Is this the best way? It bogs down and gets incredible slow which I am hoping to avoid. I realize that it is inevitable that it will get slow with these huge numbers.

It's not just one bit of text, if I mirror my entire drawing, every piece of text in it does, too. A co-worker a year ago had figured out how to keep some certain objects with text in them (shelving/tables - we do foodservice layouts) from mirroring, but it has been so long, she forgot the program.

I'm trying to make a Dynamic Block for handicap parking spaces (attached).
I have a flip action so that I can switch the direction of the linear array. The problem is when I flip the block, the handicap logo is mirrored (obviously....).
Is there a way to mirror just the location of the logo, instead of mirroring the location AND the logo?
Would it be possible to make a block with the handicap logo and lock the X scale value to 1 ?...
worst comes to worst, i'll remove the flip action and replace it with a rotate action.
