AutoCAD Inventor :: Multi-Value List Not In Order
Jan 10, 2012
I am trying to create a form, so that my designers can pick their parameters when they first start a new part.
For this form I have created a multi-valued parameter for them to select from.
My issue is, why does Inventor not list fractions in the correct order.
What I would like to see:
1/8"
3/16"
1/4"
5/16"
3/8"
7/16"
1/2"
9/16"
5/8"
11/16"
3/4"
13/16"
7/8"
15/16"
1"
What Inventor lists:
1"
1/2"
1/4"
11/16"
13/16"
15/16"
3/8"
3/16"
5/8"
5/16"
7/8"
7/16"
9/16"
Is there a way to get Inventor to list these parameters in order of value?

Is there a way to change the values available in a Multivalue list, based on another parameter?
I'd like to achieve:
When material is "MDF", available thicknesses are 6,9, 12
When material is "PLY", available thicknesses are 15,18, 25
I kinda solved this already but it's not quite right. I basically mad the list a list of custom parameters, and changed the values of these parameters based on the material parameter. :
'------iLogic--------------
If Material = "MDF" Then
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 1") = 6
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 2") = 9
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 3") = 12
Else If Material = "PLY" Then
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 1") = 15
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 2") = 18
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 3") = 25
End If
MultiValue.SetList("Thicknes",iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 1"),iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 2"),iProperties.Value("Custom", "Thickness 3")
MultiValue.UpdateAfterChange = True
'------------------End----------------------------
This works pretty much, when changing between the materials the value currently selected remains in the list until another is selected from the list. Once another value has been selected, only the correct values are available, but immediately after the material has been changed the thickness for that material is incorrect and could lead to operators specifying an unavailable thickness.

I am trying to populate a multi-value user parameter with a list composed of the various materials available from the iProperties "Physical" tab. So far I have this:
For Each material In iProperties.Materials
Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material)
Next
iProperties.Material=Bracket_Material
Running the Rule gets this error message:
Rule Compile Errors in Material_Rule, in _Mounting_bracket.ipt
Error on Line 2 : 'Bracket_Material' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I think I am doing the "Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material) " line wrong, but I don't know enough VB to fix it. It seems to me it IS declared in the Parameters table - isn't adding the parameter to the parameter table sufficient to declare it?
Eventually I want to add the Bracket_Material Parameter to a form so the user can select material from drop down list and assign it to part.

I could add an empty text value within an multi value list in inventor 2010, but I don't think i can do the same thing in 2013, is there a possible way to do it?
Btw, when by an empty text value I dont mean a space.

I have an iLogic template part that has a multi value parameter. In this case the product code can be selected from a list of 4 codes. In futre we may need 5 and the 5th may need to be available to older parts.
I would like to avoid having to add the 5th as an option to every part we've ever made when the 5th becomes required.
I'd like to have the list of codes stored in an external file (Possibly an xml) and the template part reference that file to acquire it's list of available codes. That way I can add codes to the xml and all the files will have their list of available codes updated.

IV2012 API with VB:
How can i add an item to a Multi-Value-List of an existing User Parameter in Inventor2012 (Accessing API with Visual Basic) ?
My idea is for example:
uParams.Item(i).ExpressionList.AddItem(As String)
The problem is, that such a function "AddItem" doesn't exist.

I required a lisp for sorting Multiline text in alphabetic order. (Ascending and Descending)
For example in my drawing it contains lot of Mtexts having multi rows. I need to sort texts inside Mtext. Like PDC-012, DAG-012, AAG-096. I need that Mtext should be AAG-096,DAG-012,PDC-012.

I have all of our .pc3 files on a server, and have created them in the order I would like to see them, however they come in a random order. I have moved them out of the folder, and back in the order I want with no luck. I tried renaming them with numbers in front, and then with letters in front to try and populate the list in a certain order. I only have 16 .pc3 files and MAXSORT is default at 6000.
We are using page setups as well which are not a problem, but the occasional time we need to print to a specific .pc3 file gets annoying having to sort through the list to find the one we want.

How the order of the list of Point File Formats is controlled?
We have a large list of formats predefined for doing coordinate transformations between various coordinate systems, but there does not seem to be any logical order to the list of formats.
Can I change the order of the list?

I need to get the layout list in reverse order. How to do this? My plotter outputs prints face up and I wind up with a stack of drawings in reverse order - If I can cycle through the tabs in reverse order they will wind up in the correct order in the print room!

I've always opened files using File>open. I use the list view so that all filenames appear in alpha/numeric order regardless of the file extension(.psd, .jpg, ect). Sometime within the past week this has stopped working. The list now is ordered by the extension type - all .nef, all .psd, all .jpg, ect. Does anyone know how to get the original alpha/numeric order back? I can do it temporarily by choosing details, click on the filename column and then choosing list but this only works once. The next time I use File>open, it's back to ordered by extension type.

You can organize a multi-threaded work with data through Inventor API? For example, there is a assembly and I need the first part of assembling a list of items to consider in a data set, the second part of the list - in the second data set, the third - the third and so on up to N, where N - depends on how many threads can run in the system . Whether these flows are processed and to receive data in parallel? Or go to the consistent implementation of this algorithm will first be processed by the first part, and only after it will start the second ...?

I found a issue that vba reads bom in different way when I tried to export bom to excel. here is the routie i am using for BOM. I am using inventor 2012 sp1, window 7 sp1 and excel 2007
1. create a assembly with bom structured view enabled.
2. open BOM editor in structured view tab. sort BOM by part number, and renumber them from 1,2,3....
3. save and exit.
4. in vba, i used code below
For Each oRow In oStructuredBOMView.BOMRows
Set oDoc = oRow.ComponentDefinition(1).Document
On the export bom excel sheet, the item order is different from BOM in assembly file. on the excel sheet, the order of item number is same before sorting and renumber BOM. It seems to me that BOM editor didnt remember sorting and renumber.

I'm having an issue with the order of my BOM. In the picture below I have an assembly with subassembly STR-35-241-19L-17450. The BOM for the subassembly is on the right in the picture and is ordered the way it should be. However when I open the BOM in the Top level assembly (left in the picture) the order is not the same. In fact the order is completely random for the subassembly. I need this order to match the subassembly so I can export it into our ERP system.

I am using 2012 currently. I am trying to make 2 key ways in opposite sides of a short aluminum round tube or bushing. the keyways will start at the top edge of the tube, cut to the center of the tubes length, then go 90 degrees in either direction going with the curvature of the tube wall, then back towards the top edge, but not all the way back out.The keyway will be through all, on both sides.
It essentially is a twist lock for a shaft with two pins to be pushed in, turned 90 degrees and sprung back into a locked position. What autodesk intended its Inventor 2010 and 2012 users to use to put this feature into the parts drawing or model.

Our configuration management tool requires a DWG for our system assembly drawings. A single DWG with all the sheets layed out in a sheet space. Right now I do a "Save As" out of inventor and it creates X number of seperate DWG files and then I stitch them together in AutoCAD by taking each sheet and placing them into a single sheet space (copy paste). My work flow would be much faster if I could get Inventor to create a single sheet space with all the active or selected sheets as a single DWG output.

I am having a problem with trying to come up with a way to create an inventor entity that is like an an autocad multi-width polyline. We make some of our lines in our silk screen as multi-width polylines - see example fig 1. I can't figure out how to accomplish this type of line effect in inventor - see example fig 2. We are actively trying to move from MDT2009 to Inventor and i can recreate most everything except this multi-width polyline.-

Is there any way to modify the order of the views that have been placed on the drawing sheet? We have a lot of times where we place an assembly view to drive the title block and then place the child components for detailing. Too many time the assembly view gets forgotten until you are done detailing the other parts, now instead of the assembly name showing on that sheet it is the first part you inserted. I would like to be able to select a view and tell Inventor that I would like this view to be the first view instead so I don't have to copy and past everything from one sheet to another. I used to have some code that looked at that first view but I can't find it anymore.
