Why am i forced to open up parts separately when trying to open my assembly. Once I open my assembly I get pop up windows asking me to either open, skip, or find the part it specifies.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to open all parts in an assembly at once?
I tried to select them all in the modelbrowser, and then open, but ain't working. I tried also with the design assistent, but also not working.
I will use this function to place all (open) parts from an assembly in one drawing. Then i am sure that i don't forget any parts.
I want to open all the part or Subassembly of an Assembly？and if a part or an assembly are referenced times，it must be open only once.

on school they have 2013, and i have 2014. But I tried to open a part made in a 2014 version. I think this program is expensive enough that they won't make different part versions .
i can open parts made on 2013
I'm using VB Express. I have got an assembly file. I want to open all sub parts according to "Parts only" BOM. Because I want to open every part only one time. Because there can be many occurences of same part.
I want to open each part only one time and save as bitmap views...
Normally I use below code but it can open same files many time according to assembly type unfortunatelly.
Dim oRefDocs As DocumentsEnumerator
oRefDocs = invDocs.AllReferencedDocuments
For Each invDocument In oRefDocs

In assembly mode, when you right click on a part in the tree, you had ''open drawing'' as a choice. Now it's gone in IV 2013. how to add it ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble opening an assembly I made on inventor in solidworks. First I drew a frame using just lines and saved it as frame.ipt
then I opened a new assembly and placed the frame.ipt into the assembly. Once that was done I was able to add a frame to follow the path of the lines by clicking "insert frame"
This assembly was called frame.iam
When I try opening on Solidworks it does not work. I clicked body and features and either way it did not work.
I have transferred assembly to solidworks before but I think I am having trouble with this one since I made a frame using inventor tools instead of just making every single part myself and then constraining it together in an assembly.
In an assembly file, how can I reduce number of open docs in session.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe right click context menu on the top level assembly (on the model tree in Inventor) has the option of 'Open Drawing'.
Is there a way to do that via iLogic? Unfortunately I can't figure it out if there is. I would like to open and update the relevant drawing.
Also have tried it the other way around, that is to run my rues in the assembly from the drawing since the drawing is the parent. But I am not sure how to reference the assembly.
using IV2012 within the same project file i have three models. one model i can open parts or assemblies from the browser or right click on the component on the window. the other two models upon the right click or selecting in the browser the open or the edit are not available as an operation.

I have what is to me a rather large assembly. 1823 total occurrences in the active document and 700 open documents in the session.My problem is that when I open the assembly nothing shows up on the monitor in the image area. The tree is fully populated an showing visibility on all the parts.I have tried saving as a different level of visibility and still no go.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had resized the File>Open dialog in Inventor. I had resized it so that it was quite large so I realized pretty quickly when I opened another file, that the window size had rest to its original size.
What I found was that if I export a parts list to excel, then go to File>Open, for some reason the size of my file>open dialog is cleared.
I'm looking for the best way to create a separate assembly out of various component parts in an existing assembly so that the whole thing can be placed in an assembly as you would a part, I know it's possible to demote components within an assembly but are there any other methods similar / better ?
View 2 Replies View Relatedis it possible to write a plug in that runs when a user does something.example. you start inventor and open a assembly file the user selects a part and the plugin automatically runs.no pussing buttons, no quick key, it just runs.
View 2 Replies View Relatedit is possible to make a constraint that utilized a parameter of a part within the assembly.
For example, if I wanted to use the thickness of a plate, which I defined in the part, could I call that parameter in a constraint?
My assembly has grown (about 50 parts) to where I need to consolodate some parts into subassemblies for reuse and alternate iterations of the basic design.
When I import the original parts into a new assembly, all of the constrains I created are not there of course.
I've tried creating a new empty part and then deriving a new part from the assembly, but I can't add, delete or edit any parts.
I looked at using Shrinkwrap, Substitutes, iParts, Multi-body Parts, and Multiple Solids but I remain confused.
In retrospect, maybe I should have created the subassemblies between the part and assembly stage but I didn't.
We have a data folder on the server mapped as network drive to the clients. The data folder contains all cad data stored from productstream professional.
Due to an over 10 year old environment the data folder contains a huge amount of cad files, library parts, iParts and so on.
Due to historical growth of the environment there are some missing parts (not available on the file system anymore), because they were deleted, are corrupt, and so on. At the root of the data folder there is located the typical cmpinv11.ipj inventor project file.
If you open an assembly either from productstream or via inventor (without productstream) directly from the data folder and the assembly has an unresolved child component because the file isn't there anymore it takes a very very long time until the dialog box for unresolved link comes up (waiting time several minutes 1...10min). Once reached this point one can skip and repair the assembly, of course.
But the question is, how to speed up the time for getting the unresolved link dialog?
The network connection itself is quite OK und the project file itself is also OK. The project file list of every user is pretty small (only cmpinv11.ipj and some standard ipj's).
We think inventor internally scans the whole project-file folders to ensure that the component is really missing but due to the huge environment this takes many minutes and is annoying.
Any bypass for that? Is it possible to apply a temporär setting before opening a potential inconsistent assembly? Or is there a setting like skip unresolved components by default or by a defined timeout?
Because it is Inventor 2010 (Productstream PRO 210) there is no File open Option Auto-Skip unresolved components (like in 2012) but even if it was I guess it wouldn't reduce the time to get the dialog either.
Can I select a bunch of parts in an assembly and say "save these pieces as a new assembly"?
It is just such a needed tool but I cant find an easy way to accomplish this.
When press "open" the "open"-window dosn't open. Insted it open a comandpromt by the cursor that promt me to enter full search-way and name on the file I want to open.
What can i do to get the "open"-window?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am designing a component whose internal mechanism is housed in a plastic shell. I want to use the boss feature in the shell so I can hold together the components internally, but the boss feature is only available in the part workspace, but in order for me to know where the internal components are so I can design my shell accurately, I have to be in the assembly workspace.
Now, if I opened the shell as a part alone, and imported (through the Derive command) the parts that need to be fit into the shell, they will appear at random positions, and because you cannot create constraints in the Part Workspace, I have no effective way of holding them where they should go.
I have a question about getting CoG of my assembly. The only problem is that i only need 2 parts (the rest are just dummy solids with 'default material'.
When i control select two parts, right click and go 'iproperties' - the physical tab doesn't let me determine CoG of the two parts combined.
I have 4 columns in BOM that I call out in Parts Lists on my drawings.
I need to be able to organize parts in my assembly somehow and to be able to display if needed (on Parts List) only parts belonging to one category (level?).
I could do it by creating another custom iproperty in a part template and each part would belong to a particular group. Then I could sort them in BOM in .iam environment and have particular category visible on Parts List with the other categories with visibility turned off.
I'm working on a small Assy (25 parts). When I open one of the parts from this Assy and work on it then go back to the Assy many parts are not visible. The update button is usually off so I can't use it.
This started only about 2-3 weeks ago - in every assy. I changed the nvidia driver but didn't work.

I have a rather complex assembly that I didn't draft but I am trying to work with. Most of my experience is with Solidworks. I'm trying to create a hole in a plate that lines up with a hole in a different part in the same assembly. I know there is probably a way to create the hole in the assembly and reference the other part but I dont know how.

When I place parts in my assembly they are stuck in the position I place it and can only be moved once I mate it to another part of my assembly. I have only recently encountered this problem, as usually when I place a parts in an assembly I am able to simply click on the component and drag/move that part around to put it in a place that suits before I use any constraints.
What is the problem, have I clicked on some function unknown to myself which has disabled the ability to move parts/assemblies when I place them into an assembly?
I've created an assembly from the solid bodies of a part. Is there a way to add more parts to that assembly from other solid bodies of the original part? If so what is the procedure?
