AutoCAD Inventor :: Open Word File And Save As From ILogic / VBA?

Nov 14, 2013

We have a word file that we use a lot for our drawings.  There is an empty file that we open and then save the file into the same directory as the drawing.

I am trying to setup some code that will open the empty Word File, and then bring up the Word Save As dialog box with the correct directory and file name already completed.  The correct directory and File name will be determined by the Drawing Code.

I have been able to open the Empty Word Document from iLogic with the following
 
'CRS Template Path & File NameoCRSTemplate = "\WWSERVERDisplaysA-Z Stand PartsCRS-Template.doc" 'Publish document. ThisDoc.Launch(oCRSTemplate)
 
I have been able to Open the Empty Word File from VBA and then bring up the Word Save As Dialog Box but I cannot work out how to define the initial directory or the initial file name from Inventor.

This is the VBA Code I have been using top open the Empty Word File and Show the Word Save As Dialog Box:

Public Sub OpenCRSDoc1()
'Don't Forget to Add the Word Object Library in the Tools - References
' Call SetCRSDetails

[Code].....

If you try to use the With Command for the FilePicker it will just open the Word Document and NOT the Save As Dialog Box!!!

Example of the With Tried

With FilePicker
.InitialDirectory = "Z:"
.DialogTitle = "Hello"
.Show
End With

How to open a Word Document from either iLogic or VBA (VBA Preferred) and then open the Word Save As Dilog Box and define the Initial Directory and Filename?

I have some code (below) that will open my embedded excel spread sheet and it works great.  Now I need the code to save and close the excel file after it’s been open.The embedded excel spreadsheet pushes some stuff the model and does a couple other thing. So all I really need is for the excel file to open, save, and close when the rule is run.Imports Inventor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Save File Crashes?

Sep 5, 2012

I seem to have my task accomplished, but Inventor crahes on me after it is done.

Here is how my iLogic works. 

' Deleting the suppressed parts from the assembly
Dim compDef as AssemblyComponentDefinition
compDef = ThisDoc.ComponentDefinition
Dim compOcc as ComponentDefinition
For Each compOcc in compDef
[Code] ........

Now as soon as the last line is executed, Inventor crashes.

But when I go to the save file part (C:MyPath), both the parts and assembly files are saved and if I open it, they work just fine.

I just can't get inventor to stop crashing.

I have an ilogic rule created to do a save as .dxf and .pdf from the .idw file.  It will then open the .ipt file without any issues.  The problem I am having is that I also want it to do a save as .stp of the model after it opens the model.  I get the following error.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Message Box At File Open?

Oct 2, 2013

My goal is to have a message box open as soon as an assembly file is opened so that other users will be warned/ notified of linked parameters.  My assumption is that an iLogic rule would be the best way to handle this.

I can create the message box, but when I looked through the iLogic snippets I didn't find any way to trigger the box at opening the file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Open Excel File (start Application And Show Worksheet From ILogic)

Nov 11, 2013

I'm trying to start Excel and show the results of some BOM items I have written to a file like item number, part number and description.The task is to find components in an assembly that have a part number longer then 39 characters, due to ERP limitations.

What I´m doing is cycling through all BOM (structured) items on first level and check if the part number is longer then 39 characters.

I write these item number, part number, description to an Excel file (temp.xlsx), so the user sees which Components he has to check for the Part Number (make it shorter). I figured it would be best to do that with an excel file, so the user can save the results to a new file or just check it.

Values will be erased from the temporary excel file afterwards.Here I can't figure out how to start the excel application and open the file in an actual application window if possible.

how to list the results with plain iLogic that would do it too or some other solution to list a snapshot from the BOM.I guess there is no way to add your custom BOMViews ?

AutoCAD 2010 :: 2012 Crashing Whenever File Open / Save Or Save As Selected

Jun 27, 2013

I have the student version of AutoCAD 2012 on an HP laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  I originally installed AutoCAD in June of 2012.  It worked fine for 9 or 10 months but now whenever I select File/Open, File/Save, or File/Save As, AutoCAD stops responding and the spinning blue donut appears.  AutoCAD never comes back and I have to close it from Task Manager.  I uninstalled AutoCAD and reinstalled it, and the process went smoothly.  However I still have exactly the same problem with the File operations.  I apply Windows updates, but other than that have not made any changes to the software on the laptop.  AutoCAD works fine for everything except the File operations.  I am able to save with CTL/S and am able to open AutoCAD files from File Manager.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Save Drawing As DWG

Apr 24, 2012

Is 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)

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Save As IProperty

Apr 11, 2013

I have a template part that I would like to save automatically once the parameters dialog box is closed.  I would also like the Save As filename to automatically be filled in with a iProperty named "Part Name".  I already have the "Part Name" description grabbing information from parameters.  Is this possible? And is the best way to trigger the event after an "iProperty change" or "Any Model Parameter Change"?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Rename And Save Using ILogic?

Sep 13, 2011

I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct code for some automated ilogic in inventor 2011.

I am trying to achieve an automated rename and save process for an assembly file as well as the variable parts in the file.an example would be a steel column...

Open ilogic steel column, run rules to change column length and section size...then save a copy to workspace, but also to a specific folder in the workspace..also rename the column file and save.

i have this for file saving -

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Test=InputBox("Add File name", "Please Add your file name", "Prefix number - File - .iam")
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()&Test, True)

Which works fine to save the new assembly, but i need the same for the variable column within the assembly, and also to save to a specific folder not just the workspace top level.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Save PDF In 2 Locations

Dec 18, 2013

I'm trying find some code that will allow me to save a PDF in 2 different locations. 

I want to save a copy on my C: drive - this part has been done, but I'd like the code expanded to save a copy on the F: drive (under a similar path to that on the C: drive.

For example, for drawing XXX-XXX.dwg (C:Vault WorkspaceCADSalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawings), I would like a PDF created in C:Vault WorkspaceCADSalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawingsPDF  (this part has been done) and i would also like a copy saved in F:SalesEnquiries201313-XXXDrawingsPDF.

I do not know which will be easier; to create 2 PDFs, or create 1 and copy it to F:

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic To Save DWG But Not Model?

Oct 25, 2013

I currently have ilogic code that automatically saves a template Inventor dawing as a job drawing. However the problem I am having is when it does this save it takes forever as it seems to be also saving the linked model also. Is there a way to save this Inventor dwg without saving the linked model? The reason why I do not want this model save is because after the drawing is outputted the user is given options to write part numbers and dxf files if required which requires a model save anyway.

Sample of code used:-

ThisDoc.Document.SaveAsInventorDWG(ThisDoc.Path & "2D_DRAWINGS (Inventor dwg)" & iProperties.Value("Custom", "Drawing No.") & ".DWG", True)

And it works like a charm for pdf, but it does not export to .dwg?

And also, is it possible to decide where in the name the "-Rev " &iPro....should appear?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Selecting Save As Directory With ILogic?

Oct 25, 2012

I am making some iLogic automated parts which I want to save when I place them in an assembly.

Now I have the folder the file needs to be saved in allready specified in the simple code I wrote but I want to be able to browse the folders to select a specific one.

I run the code by activating it in a Form that pops up when you place the part in an assembly.

The simple save as code I wrote is as following:
 
Workspace = ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()If System.IO.File.Exists(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt") = True Theni = MessageBox.Show("The partnumber you chose is allready in use, choose an other number.", "Save Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)Else If System.IO.File.Exists(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt") = False ThenThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(Workspace & "Parts" & "Cable Tray-" & Partnumber & ".ipt", False)End If
 
How I can browse the folders to select the folder to save the part in when placing the part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Save All To User Specified Location

Sep 9, 2013

I´m trying to create an external iLogic rule that let´s the user specify a path and saves an assembly and all it´s components into one directory. Alternatively it could be the main workspace path which doesn´t have to be specified by the user so it can be handled internally.

The background is a design template that resides on a network storage which can be configured through an iLogic Form and when the user is done configuring the assembly to it´s liking it should be saved to it´s workspace.

I was looking through the snippets but couldn´t find anything related to "save all". I have the feeling that I have to cycle through all component occurences and save them one by one.

Getting a Save As dialog box seems to be possible as I could see on Curtis Waguespack´s blog but the commands he is using are nowhere documented. For example for calling the dialog box he is using

InventorVb.Application.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Rule Will Always Accept Save Regardless Changes Or Not

I want the rule to only accept save IF there has been changes on SM_Length (=<FLAT PATTERN LENGTH> cm) and SM_Width (=<FLAT PATTERN WIDTH> cm) or Thickness.

sLength = iProperties.Value("Custom", "SM_Length")

sWidth = iProperties.Value("Custom", "SM_Width")

AutoCAD Inventor :: Save Copy And Replace With ILogic

Dec 18, 2013

I have an assembly that I am working on that will be used as a configurator, driven by I-logic. Everything is work fine but there is one part off the assembly that will be custom to each new assembly.  Is there a way to use I logic  to open the ipt file save it as copy with different name and replace the original in the assembly. I know this can be done manual through the productivity tab within the assembly environment, but I am trying to automate the process so the end user will just have to follow prompts that will be given by i-logic.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Update And Save Assembly Through ILogic In Drawing?

Jul 10, 2013

as a part of automating manufacturing drawings, am trying to include ilogic code in the drawing , that would accept values from the user and store it as "user parameters" and make corresponding changes in the inventor drawing file.So, to replicate my issue on a smaller scale, i had created 2 parts and created an assembly out of these 2 parts. I used the assembly in my drawing.

In the Drawing i created a user parameter .. say "external_param". I am opening the drawing and changing the value of the user parameter through the (Fx) parameter table. 

doc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf external_param >= 50 And external_param <= 99 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 15 'change the length of the blockParameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 3 'change the number of holes in the blockElseIf external_param >= 100 And external_param <= 199 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 40Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 5ElseIf external_param >= 200 And external_param <= 299 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 80Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 6ElseIf external_param >= 300 And external_param <= 399 ThenParameter("block_1.ipt.d0") = 160Parameter("block_1.ipt.d14") = 9End IfRuleParametersOutput()iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True'InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
 
As you can see, i have commented out InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() , im not quite sure what would accomplish the update and save of the assembly document in the background (without prompting for a save/update). I have also tried thisDoc.Save and thisdoc.update. Using these 2 commands along with the InventorVb.DocumentUpdate() or iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone caused Inventor to Crash.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Save As PDF Color Option Not Working

Jan 16, 2012

I want to save my PDFs as All Colors As Black, but setting the option to 0 or 1 doesn't work, it keeps saving the PDFs in color. Here's the snippet of

 If oPDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then
oOptions.Value("All_Color_As_Black") = True
oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = False
oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
'oOptions.Value("Custom_Begin_Sheet") = 2
'oOptions.Value("Custom_End_Sheet") = 4
End If

What is wrong with the option in the second line (shown in red)? I've tried a few other variations of All_Color_As_Black, but I'm having no joy. All the other examples I've looked at either has that option set to False (0) or that line is commented out .
