AutoCAD Inventor :: Out-of-process C++ Application Causes Intermittent Crash?
Mar 30, 2012
I've written a piece of code in C++ to open a part in Inventor and get parameter data from the part from out-of-process. This code works, but occasionally (i.e. randomly) execution of the code will result in an error message being returned from Inventor which indicates a crash of the program. I cannot figure out why, and because the problem occurs randomly I've had difficultly isolating the problem. Here is my code. The error suggests that I might be releasing memory that I don't own or something like that, but since it happens intermittently it is hard to know.
int error;CComBSTR bsPartName;CLSID clsid;FILE *out;HRESULT hres = NOERROR;TCHAR szFileName[255];/* Global Autodesk Inventor pointers */CComPtr<Application> aiApp;CComPtr<Document> aiDoc;/* Get Inventor program ID

I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with printing from my AutoCAD program.
Around 80% of my plotting tasks are sent to the printer and print correctly.
The other 20% print but only partially (they get anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3s through the plotting process then the remainder of the drawing is blank).
There does not seem to be any consistency to the fault i.e. it happens on different drawing files at different times.
When it does occur, there is nothing I can do to correct it. I have tried shutting all other programs down and doing no further work whilst the print is in progress but to no avail.
This is only a problem with AutoCAD and only some of the time.

First I will state that everything within the program, to my knowledge, works just fine. Although..
I'm having a really strange issue when I try to type a command. It's an intermittent problem that occurs very often and can be extremely frustrating.
If I try to type a command, i.e.. M followed by enter to move an object, often times the command will repeat "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" and the command entry will fail. This happens for every button I press too. Letters, numbers, and even the Enter key will be repeatedly entered into the command prompt. Often times I've already pressed enter to execute the command. During this process the whole program seems to freeze, but not for too long. So I often have to enter the command multiple times, regardless of which button is repeating itself.
The repeating of a keystroke only lasts between 1-2 seconds but as I said has a very frequent occurrence.
I'm almost positive that this has nothing to do with my keyboard, as I've never experienced this kind of problem elsewhere. This is my machine at work and I've never encountered an issue as frustrating at this. Could it be something that my machine is doing?

am currently working on a Flash site which is relying quite heavily on images with transparency.
my method has been to create PS3 images, save as TIFF, preserve transparency, and then import into Flash. However sometimes when I go to save, I do not get the TIFF options dialogue box, and when this happens Flash cannot import the image.
I found this quote on another post which might be related, but I do not know enough about photoshop to understand it!:
"Keep in mind that before you will have a transparency option when saving, you need to have either a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with the transparency info in it. (aka a mask)"
is this what I am not doing, and if so, how do create a clipping path or alpha channel to save my transparency info 'in'?
At the moment I seem to be able to get around the problem by opening a new image, dragging the layer into that, and then saving. but it's a pain in the arse and for some of them, I need to preserve the position of a layer more accurately...

In Photoshop CS4 the paint deposited by a brushstroke by a Wacom Intuos3 pen tool intermittently and unpredictably just stops mid-stroke after some while of a continuos stroke. This is a real problem when making simulated watercolor washes because these require a continuos application of paint using a brush with Wet Edges. When the paint just stops and the pen tool is removed from contact and then re-contacted, the paint starts again but now the new brushstroke sits on top of the old stroke and does not merge into it (as you want with a watercolor wash).
No brush controls are set to Fade and in any case the ink-stopping happens well into the continuos stroke - much later than a Fade control would affect it.
I'd be grateful for advice on how to stop this happening, please. Why is the paint flow just stopping? Is this a known problem with CS4?
CS4 is fine in other respects.

I have had VSX5 shutdown completely without any error messages while in Share>Create Disc>DVD. I have no problems in the Add Media step. I add a Video File, MPEG2, in Add Media and change the Thumbnail to have the title of the clip. I click Next to go to Menu & Preview. I select a main menu from the gallery, select Hide Object for one of the provided texts in the main menu, and edit the PRJxxxx one. I select the Edit tab. Select Customize>Motion Filter and Zoom In and Out options. When I click OK to leave the Customize Menu, VSX5 completely shuts down without any error messages. This doesn't occur every time. I have also clicked OK, returned to the Menu & Preview window, and then clicked Preview. After clicking Preview, VSX5 has shutdown. I have also had the problem after selecting Navigation buttons in Menu & Preview and clicking OK. I have opened an incident with Corel support, and they asked if I had Service Pack 1 installed and if my software and drivers are up to date. I have Service Pack 1 installed and everything is up to date.

I'm trying to create a two sheet drawing showing the different states of manufacturing for a fabrication that is further machined. The first sheet would be the fabrication and the second sheet would show the final machining. Due to the complexity of the part, cramming everything onto one drawing is not a very good option. I was hoping to use Views or LOD but that won't work. Am I missing something? The part is not suitable for using the weldments option either.

I am trying to get the desktop path in an application I made to modify and save the parts list of an IDW. I find this code all over the interent and it looks exactly like what I need:
Path = My.computerComputer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
However when I try to use it it's like the "My" system object isn't there. I'm quite sure it has somethign to do with VBA instead of the normal VB. How can I accomplish getting the current user's desktop path with inventor VBA?

We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

I have a function programmed in vb.net that controls the opacity of parts in the active view. If the user is selecting objects and then starting the program the "non-Selected" Parts are disapearing step by step.
That's looking very interesting, but doesn't supports the user . Is it possible to freeze the active view of inventor and refresh it, when the job is done? So the user will only see the result of the process and not the working process.

I'm just setting myself up on a new PC, and updating a few things along the way. I've gone from VS2005 to VS2010 express, and migrated my projects along the way. The migrated projects worked OK, but I've just started a new project and I can't figure out how to add a start up application for my project.
On the Debug tab in Project Properties, there's no option for startup application like there was in VS2005

For whatever reason, everything reset back to default in my application settings. The only thing I remember happening was that at one point my Inventor was not able to establish a connection to the server where the liscence is stored and it gave out an error message. Ever since then, everything was reverted to default.
how to change the look of the highlights in the assembly environment when selecting parts? I can't remember where it's at.

Application option settings don't persist! They will work great for a few days and then all of a sudden Inventor will go back to the defaults.
The iLogic browser keeps disappearing as well.

Haven't figured out the trigger yet but after working in INV for a little while the "Application Menu" (used to be the File menu) does not respond to clicking on any buttons..Flyouts work but when you press the actual button nothing happens..
All other ribbon bar buttons function properly. Simply closing INV and restarting fixes the problem temporarily.

I'm looking at a way to edit the Application Options tab when a particular file is opened. For example, by loading file "template" it would set constraint options to a standard, set the background color of the application, etc. giving me a songle file to load my preferred settings.
For a first run example, need code such that when I open the file and run the rule, it would change the username from User to NWilson?
I'm very weak with the API code tools and structure, and I have zero VB experience. My train of thought is as follows:
Dim x = ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName
If x = User
Then ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName=NWilson

How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.
So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.

I have noticed quite a performance hit when coding the same thing in .NEt compared to VBA. I suspect this to be due to out of process calls between .net and Inventor.
Is there any way to bundle many calls and send them as one.
Example: I want to change the parameter value of a constraint and then update the assemblydocument. Can this be bundled into one call to Inventor?
