How can I get the Part Number property in pipe parts ? In the family table the part number exist, it is mapped to the Part Number property, but when I create a piping the Part number is empty.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible, if you have a merged BOM.row to get the total quantity of each part?

Why when I mirror a part in an assembly the mirrored part gets a new part number? I want to mirror only the position of the part which is always the same part. Is it possible to do that in Inventor?

So when i insert a new sheet and place a part the part number wil be placed in the title block and i want to change the sheet name to that part number.
I name my files with our part numbers and the revision number. Our part numbers are 6 to 9 digits long and sometimes start with a zero! My iLogic rule, while simple, drops the first zero if its there. See the "FirstNumbers" below: (I tried to add the CStr(), but now I see that it just changes it to text after it drops the zero!)
ThisFile = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extensionFirstNumbers = CStr(Val(ThisFile)) 'sets the first numbers from the file name to textPartNumber = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") 'reads part number from file
'check to see if the part number is the same as the file name's numbersIf String.Compare(FirstNumbers, PartNumber, True) = 0 Then'do nothingElse
'set the Part Number to the file name's numbersiProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = FirstNumbers
'let's me know that something has been doneMessageBox.Show("Part Number has been set to " & FirstNumbers, "Part Number from File Name")End If
I created a bom export rutine but when a virtual component is the same as a inserted standard part the rowmerge does not work.

Is it possible to search for a part number (Not file name).
I don't have vault and I would like to find a part number on the computor but I'm not sure how and if it is possible.
Is there a api to read part number value in properties "Project Tab" for a drawing document?

I want to put a flexible hose into an assembly in different places.
In the real world it would be the same part, but as the hose would needs to bend at different angles for the different positions I would need different models.
I know I can group components with the same part number in the Parts List, but how do I make sure the components are seen by Vault and other users as being the same component ?
Currently using Inv 2011sp2 Pro and Vault 2011. But I don't have much experience of using Pro
I need to make installation plans on climate ceilings, which are steel cassettes with Meandro tube element located where cold or hot water is flowing through.
[URL]......
Now it may occur that a cassette is given a code 700 which represents the type of cassette. If inside the cassette is placed a Meandro element its become a follow number eg 700-01.
It may also be that the same cassette No. 700 gets another Meandro element and because the cassette has not changed shape the number 700 remains the same but the follow number change e.g. 700-02.
At the moment I change the number in the browser,(inv2012) I therefore want automatically the iproperties ,partnumber and stock number, to fit. When I go to the BOM, the part- and stock numbers automatically will be placed.
The browser codes are not displayed in the BOM. So if I specify for change I only have to do so in the browser. I wanted to do so by iLogic but then ran into problems. I found a tutorial from Rob Cohee with ilogic so you won’t forget to fill in your iproperties.
[URL].......
I also wanted to do so with the iproprtie Stock number but get an error stating that I must declare the name. How must i declare a name.
Also i was told for entering the browse name in ilogic i had to use displayName, but I get a error stating that the name is Read Only.
So how can i, after i change the browse name, automatically fill in the iproperties ‘part number and/or stock number? Is there an ilogic code for?
Is there a way to get a part number on pipes created by the routing tool? It seems that if it's default or custom data, the data gets blanked out on the generated files.
I'm trying to get this to work for a client who uses 2011, and from what I can tell this is still an issue in 2013.
I created an iPart which includes 10 or more different part. I need put the part number (text) on the surface (could use emboss or extrude). When I change the part, I need the embossed or extruded part number can be changed automatically.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have made a configurator, that defines my part. Now i would like to add some intelligence for the Save process...
When i activate my rule it should.:
1. Go to a Excel spreadsheet and find next Empty cell in a specific collum
2. Place Title from inventor in that empty cell
3. Return the value from the cell next to this cell
3. Use this value as the new filename for my part.
Example: here i would like to get the parts tile put into B3 and A3 (103) returned to Inventor as filename to my part
--------------------
A B C
1 101 Title1
2 102 Title2
3 103
If possible, i would like to be able to adjust this alittle as i go forward in my work,

I just wondered if can I assign a particular ITEM number to a particular part, instead of relying on order in the assembly.
I unsterstand I can overrite it in BOM but can I have it controlled from the part, so any time I instert it into an assembly, this particular number in ITEM coulmn pops up?
I have 2 parameters in a part (a spring), "diameter" and "Length".
I change these parameters with iLogic to build several springs.
Is it possible to update the "Part Number" Each time I change the parameters "diameter" and "length"?
I want to get the following:
Mola_Ø-65_L-140
Where 65 is the parameter value and 140 is the length value.
I tried with the code below,
iProperties.Value ("Project", "Part Number") = "Spring_Ø-" Diameter "_L-" Length
but that returns: End of statement expected.

I create a new assembly and place a component multiple times. When i open the Bill of Material i see one line with a QTY of 6 (the number of times the component was placed)
Now if i uncheck the "Enable Row Merge on Part Number Match" The BOM should show 6 lines with the same component and a QTY of 1 ....................correct?????? But it does not...........
I have a part that requires a large number of fillets. What would be the best approach, so it doesnt take 5 hours to update the model everytime i update something on the model?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe put several parts on a single drawing sheet and ,to include the part number in the drawing view label, we must edit each view label and change the type to Properties_Model and the Property to Part Number. Is there a way to set the default of a drawing view label to include the Part Number? I tried modifying the styles to include <PART NUMBER> but it the text "<PART NUMBER>" came in instead of the value. To get the value, I had to edit the view label and hit the X with a down arrow to get the part number to show up, which is not much different than having to edit the label and change type and property. I'm looking to avoid all the view label editing as much as possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to have the part number automatically be entered with ilogic.
Normally I know how to do this but this time I'm trying to have a couple constant letters with numbers to be filled in.
Example
MGR72
MGR is constant and the 72 will change with the width
What I thought would work but doesn't is
iProperties.Value('Project", "Part Number")="MGR" Width
I'd like to create a part number generator using iLogic. The rule would run as follows:
If the iProperty "Part Number" was not blank or the same as the file name (as Inventor default), then a question box would pop up asking if you would like to overwrite the part number. If one were to select yes, then the following would happen.
iLogic would open an xls that is on the network. The xls would have two columns. Column A would be the part number, B would be the filename associated with that part number.
Column A (the part number) is a sequential count in the form of 6 or seven digits. The format would be something like =TEXT(ROW(A1),"JFRC-000000")
Everytime the part number generator rule is triggered, it would create a new part number on the next blank row, copy this part number to the Part Number iProperty and assign the file in which the iLogic rule was executed to column B in the xls, save and close.
If, when the rule is triggered, the Part Number property is blank or the same as the file name, the user would not be asked if they would like to overwrite the part number. This rule would be triggered manually from a form.
Create a Content Center Part that prompts for a file name and sets the Part Number to whatever I save the part as? It would also be nice to... Have the browser Display name the same as the saved filename.
If I have a standard part with a blank filename, inventor will make the part number equal the filename at the first save. It is this functionality that I require when using Custom Content parts.
E.G. If I have a length of 'RHS 200x100x6.3 - 2000mm' selected from content centre and I want the filename to be saved as 'Part-001', then I would like the Part Number to be set as 'Part-001'.
If I then place the same member in another project/assembly I may want to call it 'ProjectPart-100', where the part number would then be 'ProjectPart-100' and so on.
This method ignores the filename entry in the Ipart table.
I have been trying to create a macro that would add a custom property to my sheet metal parts that would tell me the total number of piercings in the part (holes and punches). So far I have the punches to count correctly but I am having issues with the holes, as I am getting an error.

iLogic rule that will retrieve a part number(s) from an excel sheet. I work for a company that built vacuum trucks and I'm trying to make an . I am template where the user can select different lengths of shells to achieve the desire overall length. I have been able to achieve this using iLogic rules and forms and making the shell length parameter multi value.
But now I need to show predetermined SAP part numbers for the shells in BOM or part list. I all ready have an excel sheet with shell sizes with corresponding part numbers on file. I also thought about incorporating our custom CC parts/shells that already have the SAP part numbers set up as a custom iProperty but might be to complicated for a newbie iLogic user.
What is the name of a value that might hold the total number of bends in a part?
Or at least how those feature are managed?
Simply put, I'd like to pull the total number of bends into a parameter so it can be exported later.
I'm using the "Part Number" parameter inside a block of text in my drawing, but when I export it to AutoCAD DXF 2010 format, the text in the exported file shows up as "<PART NUMBER>", instead of displaying the actual part number.

I don't know how useful this will be but I was trying to figure out how to track what item number in an assembly any given part may be. I was thinking that on an individual part drawing I may want to reference the item number that is used in an assembly's Bill of Material for that part. I can't find where this may be stored for retrieval. If I do this I would want it to be automated so that if the BoM were renumbered the part file and drawing would update to the new item number.
This may not be possible since any part may be used in any number of different assemblies with different locations in a Bill of Material. Most of our assemblies use "one off" parts that are only used in that assembly so it may be possible in my particular situation to do this if there is a way to get at the BoM item number and connect it to the IPT file.
I have a part number that i want to defined in custom properties.
Then would it be possible to call it out in Ilogic? that way in any drawing doesn't matter where the part number will always be the same for that part when i balloon and the same in the BOM.
Is there any VBA code that can count the number of bends used in a sheet metal part?I would like to make a custom property of this, so it can be exported to Excel for input in our ERP system
