AutoCAD Inventor :: New PDF File After Updating Drawing Possible?

Aug 16, 2012

I have a drawing of a part that I want to change the dimensions many times.

When I edit the length and width in the part, the drawing updates automatically.

But is it possible to update the pdf file (of drawing) automatically after editing the dimensions in part?

 Or do I have to update (save as to pdf) everytime I create a new dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Weight In Drawing Not Updating?

Mar 20, 2012

We have the weight inour title block tied to the mass property.It is set to populate automatically and it does very nicely.

The issue comes when I have an assembly and in the BOM I set certain components to be reference.  When I go to Iproperties and then under the Physical tab select update,

the value updates there, but not in the associated drawing title block.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Not Updating Drawing Per 3D Model Changes

Nov 25, 2013

As this software continues to change it's behavior of function over nite.  I am assuming due to new updates in inventor.  I can no longer get my drawing to update per changes made to the model. This started about 2 weeks ago.

Change are completed perfectly, I open the drawing and it still has the old model represented.  When I right on the view and open the model.  Model contains all of my changes, but the drawing does not seem to care or notice that changes have been made and saved. I even closed inventor and reopened.

Even though I'm paid by the hour I really do not want to delete all views and start all over.

So the only answer is to delete all views replace them re dimension them and of course add any time consuming sketches.

10-15 minutes change now is going to take 3 hours.  WHY can't autodesk make a stable piece of software?

The dimensions of the table part in the drawing are o.k. but the iproperties, the contents of the logo doesn't update and it has a strange number string.

There is the yellow lightning symbol and even though i press update all sheets nothing happens and also the lightning symbol remains

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Not Updating To Assembly Changes

Mar 4, 2011

I have a drawing of an assembly with approx. 15 parts.  I dimensioned and notated everything on the drawing as I usually would, and everything seemed fine.  I have now gone back to that assembly a while later to adjust the position of some of the parts.  When I open the drawing, however, these changes do not show up in the drawing environment.  All of the parts are still in their original positions, even though in the assembly they are in new locations.

I've checked and it seems that the drawing views are referencing the correct assembly model.  I tried deleting and replacing the dimensions, but that does not change dimension value to be correct.  I also checked to make sure the "Defer update" box in the Options window is not selected.

If I place a new base view of the same assembly in the same drawing, it shows up with the new locations, but the original base view will not update.

I really would prefer not to delete the entire drawing and start over.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Stop Updating Drawing From Linked Part

Oct 7, 2012

So I am using Inventor LT 2012 in a small company that makes conveyor rollers. Most of the time we make the same roller with only different values to the variables. So I decided to make a part with the parameters in an Excel sheet:

A customer call us, and they want a roller with x,y,z dimensions, I put in in Excel and the drawing is ready.

But, when I need to make a second drawing of that roller with different dimensions, the first one also change.

Is there any way to keep a drawing fix when it is done ? If possible, only making a dwg for each customer without having to make an ipt and excel sheet for each drawing would be awesome !

AutoCAD Inventor :: Updating Parts (IPT Files) After Modifying It On Assembly Drawing?

Nov 25, 2011

I don't understand why my parts aren't updating when I put a hole through them on the assembly drawing? I would expect the part (.ipt file) to get updated with a hole through it when I save the assembly drawing, however it doesn't. Do I have to change a default setting or does inventor no do this?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom IProperties Not Updating In Drawing When Update Assembly Model?

Nov 19, 2012

I'm using Inventor 2011 and when I go to change parameters using iLogic in an assembly model, (sometimes it is a component suppression, other times it is an iPart component change) it won't update the associated drawing file. I need to go into the BOM on the drawing and renumber the balloons, or change something else in order for the custom iProperties to update in the drawing template. If I just change the iPart component, then the BOM doesn't need to update making the renumbering of balloons redundant.

I'm using iLogic to update all of the iProperties and component references, then reattach balloons. What I would like to do is automatically update the custom iProperties drawing template fields, and renumber the drawing BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Updating File Status From Vault

Aug 17, 2011

Every time I open a file in Inventor a dialog box comes up that says "Updating file status from vault".  In most cases it is not a big deal, but when an 1000+ part assembly is opened this box flashes for each part in the assemly causing a delay in opening the file.  Needless to say this is very annoying.  So my questions are what is this doing exactly and can I turn it off?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Updating Parts From Assembly File

Feb 27, 2013

When I create a assembly , no problem , If I modify any parts in the assembly , the mods do not translate to the part file Inventor asks if I want to save the changes but nothing happens , everything is in the correct project folder , I have tried everything I can think of .

I have looked at several posts and comes up with a add on called "Feature Migrator" but Inventor must be able to it by itself?

AutoCAD .NET :: Updating Drawing / Database After Modifying It

Jun 30, 2012

I have written a command that replaces the given annotative scale of all objects in a drawing, with another annotative scale. Works great, except I can't remove the replaced annotative scale (with SCALELISTEDIT - DELETE button), unless I save the drawing and then open it again.

An annotative scale that is in use, can't be deleted. But since I can delete it after reopening the drawing, I am sure it is not in use anymore.

Is there a way to "refresh" the drawing/database, without reopening it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create PDF-File Of Drawing And STEP Of Connected 3D-File

Apr 11, 2012

I have a script that makes PDF-file with suffix revision. Now I want to expand this script so it even makes a STEP-file of the 3d-file connected to the drawing. This would make all manufacture files in one button. That should be nice..

How will i manage with this since the active document is the drawing not the part. (see code below)

Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Call oDoc.SaveAs("C:UsersGoranWeDesktop est estfile.stp", True)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updating A Template / Push Them From Current Drawing To Another On?

Jul 27, 2012

I know you can "pull" styles from a drawing (maybe the template) into your current drawing.

Is there a way to "push" them from the current drawing to another on?

Here is what I am picturing:

Right click on a style on the settings tab and choose "Send to Template" 

"Template" would either be a predefined DWT file or it would open a standard file selection dialog to select one.....and this would copy the selected style into the template.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Print Drawing From File

Apr 18, 2013

I've written a program that prints the drawings from an assembly. For this print to work, I have to have the drawing open (I've tried printing using the option Set doc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(DWGName, False) but the print manager will just skip over a file that isn't open.

When I change the code to "True" Inventor wants to know if i want to check out the drawing from vault and this requires user input. Is there a way i can bypass this user input or automate an answer so the user doesn't have to constantly be clicking when batching drawings?

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Print Drawing From File?

Apr 12, 2013

Ive written a program in Inventor that finds all the drawings associated with a part/assembly.

it is supposed to find and open the selected drawings invisibly but for some reason the print manager wont work unless the drawing is opened and the drawing is active. In order to make the program work I have to open each drawing then close them. every time the user must input for save changes, and checking out (which is not necessary and takes forever).

Is there a way I can print without opening the drawing and making it active?

in the attached file, Ln 49-63

'Activate the selected document
Set doc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(Archive, False)

' The only way to make it work is to change this value to True. this sends up all sorts of pop up windows.

Set osheets = doc.Sheets
For X = 1 To osheets.Count
size = osheets.item(X).size

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing File Crashes

Dec 2, 2013

This morning I got to work and attempted to modify an existing drawing file per some requested changes. I figured I would open the drawing file and move some of the things around that I needed but were going to disappear after I edited the model. The end result was to remove some small items from the model and add two other small items to the model. There was some annotation in the drawing connected to the parts I was removing that I wanted to stay in the drawing file so I was editing the drawing file first. This is what happened and what I have tried since:

1.) When I went to copy a weld symbol from one view and paste it in another IV crashed.

2.) I rebooted, attempted again, IV crashed.

3.) I rebooted, attempted to add a new weld symbol and delete the other (instead of copy/paste), IV crashed.

4.) I installed the windows updates my computer was telling me I needed to install (.NET 4.5.1).

5.) I rebooted, attempted again, IV crashed.

6.) I attempted to add a weld symbol to a different drawings in a different project, success.

7.) I attempted to add a weld symbol to a different drawing file in the same project, success.

8.) I attempted the original process again, IV crashed.

9.) I attempted to open the assembly file referenced by the drawing file, success.

10.) I attempted to open a drawing file that references the same model file as well as others in a larger assembly, success.

11.) I removed parts from the assembly file that were no longer needed in the design, success.

12.) I attempted to open the original problematic drawing file, IV crashed.

13.) I attempted to open it again, IV crashed.

14.) I used pack-n-go to consolidate all of the files to upload for my support request.

15.) I attempted to open the pack-n-go drawing file on my laptop.... IT OPENED.

Now, every time I attempt to open the original drawing file on my workstation, IV immediately crashes. When I open the PNG drawing file on my laptop it works. What should my next step be?

I am afraid to go any further because this drawing file is very much needed, and so large and complicated that I do not want to just create the file again (6 sheets detailing a large tank). I also don't want to start copying and pasting the file that does work on my laptop and screw something up with the files on my workstation. And of course, this tank is scheduled to start fabrication today.
