AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts Disappearing In Exploded View In IDW File
Dec 1, 2011
In some drawings, parts and trail lines will randomly disappear or get rearranged. Once the parts disappear, the only way we're able to get them back is by copy and paste the explosion into the presentation file and regenerate the view.what happened to the .idw file and how it should look.
We've tried replacing the video card and repairing the Inventor installation, but still experience the same issue on some drawings.Running Inventor 2008 on Windows XP.

I have made an exploded view and placed it an a drawing. I would like to view inside one of the bodies to show where the exploded internals sit, however when I do a break out of the body the trail lines from the exploded internals also get sectioned. Is there a way to control the sectional properties of a trail line?

How to create a Exploded view animation showing the assembly exploding and collapsing? I only can show the collapsing. Do not know how to show exploding first and then collapsing.

I need to create an exploded view of an assembly to show how it's supposed to be put together. "Hey, why not use the slick presentation feature in Inventor? I've already got the model!" It's not working out to be that slick.
Outlined in red, is the "wrong" trail that Inventor put in by default. I added the highlighted trail, which is what I want and reflects how things actually go together. How do I get rid of the one I don't want? Hide turns off both of them. Delete deletes the tweak. All I've found was a workaround where I hide the line in the drawing.

I hid a part or something in a presentation drawing. This was within the presentation environment.
It asked if I wanted to remove associativity. I did. Now I want to put it back. How do I turn it back on? Basically, I've added new parts and they won't show up in the presentation explosion.

Our company recently made a huge leap forward moving from Inventor 11 to Inventor 2014. We have found an issue with Tweak Trails that we cannot seem to get resolved.
The trails are displaying on "top" of the assembly geometry in both the IPN and the IDW files. For instance if I pull a shaft our of normal position, the trail will display completely over the holding piece, instead of "disappearing" as it goes into the hole. I have a picture below that shows what we are experiencing.
Notice that the trail shown on the shaft is visible on "top" of the shaft, as well as the mating pieces geometry. We were used to seeing the trail "under" the model geometry, and only visible from the end of the shaft into the hole. Is it possible to get this visualization style back?!?

I'm using AutoCAD 2013. I need to explode text so that it will appear as line work, otherwise my surveying instrument won't display it.
When i use the express tools explode text command, the text disappears, this message is shown in the command bar
"The line objects have been placed on layer 0."
However, there is nothing on layer zero. Might this have something to do with missing shape files, or can AutoCAD only explode certain simple forms of text?

Is it possible to add an exploded view to a presentation file via the api? I can access existing exploded views, but did not see an add method.

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

I have made a 3d model of my balcony by simply extruding the steel profiles I used in my sections. I then used the union command to join them all together.
I now think and exploded isometric may be the better way to present the drawing but as I have now made the frame all one element what is the best way to seperate it?
the corners I think will be easy I just create a planar at 45 degrees and use that to split the corners but is there an easy way to seperate the mid PFC and angle?

How to manage the visibity of parts on a particular view? For example, in a view there 10 parts appeared. I would like to make only selected parts visible on the said view.
I have the manual steps on how to hide them but when I try to code it using the said step, the parts on the model file were hidden not in the view.
I use oView.ReferenceDocumentDescriptor.ReferenceDocument in traversing the parts but this refers to the model file.
Here is my
Set ViewDocument = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
If Not nozzleName = ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then
ViewOccurence.Visible = False
End If
Next

I know this wasn't possible in the past (and probably still isn't now) but does any trick or something to only get the qty/parts used in a certain design view rep.
We are starting to do work orders (routings) with parts lists for ONLY whats used in that step in the process. Having to manually count screws,etc.. seems silly now.
Design view reps works excellent for showing the assembly process of a product but the parts list (even filtered to that design view rep) shows the total quantity of each component..not just the count in that design view rep.
Any possibility of doing this with ilogic or something?

in dwg's made from an assembly i someties see that the view does not include all parts. To add to the mystery, a projected view made from the base view that lacked the component(s) view can still include the part. The missing parts are not reference parts, and can sometimes be parts of a subassembly.
The attached pdf shows an example:
- view B and C show a horizontal ground plate not visible in the base view
- the projected view shows components visible in the area of detail D, which are not shown in the base view
- near section A-A there is a component missing of which a second item is shown on the left side of the base view.
Switching the hidden lines on shows the missing components, but these should not be hidden at all. No settings are altered for the views to include/exclude components. No parts are set to reference. And no design representations are used.
Whe i bin the views and start over again, the same thing happens to the same components. However, if i bin the whole DWG file and start over, the parts are present...

My company requires us to use two master project files instead of one and my problem is that i can add both .ipj files into the Projects navigator in Inventor and set one as the current project, but as soon as i close the navigation window and reopen it (presumably to switch to the other project) the project that is not the active project disappears from the navigation window. The .ipj file still exists, it just doesnt show in the navigator and i have to browse to find it again. This problem happens no matter which project i set to be currently active. How can i keep that from happening?

I have an assembly that uses reference parts. I do not want them in the BOM, but they are used in other drawings in the BOM. When I make them reference, the iso drawing view boundaries are not correct. Can I change the size? Crop will only decrease the size not increase?

I often do section views in my 3D model (not drawing) to visually check interference, etc. I noticed today that some parts are excluded from this and do not get sectioned. I'm sure it's an easy fix but a search turned up nothing. How do I include/exclude specific parts from this view?

I need Recursively go to all bomrows and child rows if present in the Bomview Model Data ("Unnamed")
I have the below code but i only goes one level deep.
I tried the code from the inventor that does the trick on a structured bomview but i will fail if you have a virtual componenent that has the same partnumber as a part inserted in the assembly. then it finds the first insertet and errors on the next?
i have to recursively go to the "Unnamed" bomview here the below code does not fail and works, but as written only one level deep, i need all levels?
Public Sub UpdateThisFileBOMRowProperties14062013() 'ByVal oBOMRows As BOMRowsEnumerator) ', ByVal ItemTab As Long) oApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application") oAsmdoc = oApp.ActiveDocument ' Set a reference to the BOM Dim oBOM As BOM oBOM = oAsmdoc.ComponentDefinition.BOM

I am not sure why, but i can't hide few parts in my drawing. I have hidden few parts and saved the view rep. I have called that particular view rep and still I am seeing it the drawing. I am unable to hide it. This is a multi body solid part file. I use INV2012. Win 7

I have a section view of an assembly. The parts of the assembly that are completely remove via the section no longer show up in the browser. Is there a way to make them show back up in the browser and/or section view? They are internal to the assembly and I would like them not sectioned/removed from the view.

I have a parametric assembly and some of the parts in this assembly require a "Break". When the part dramatically reduces in size the part view disappears as the part is now located in the "Break". Delete the "Break", re apply the "Break".
I would like to be able to constrain a Break to the part, either a sketch on the view or maybe from Workplanes in the part.

I'm creating a small product configurator using ilogic. It all works fine, but i've i challenge:controlling the visibility of the components in a drawing view
In simple words, every occurrence of my assembly has an custom Ipropertie calles "Positie". there where 4 values (Bodem, Zij, Kop, Deksel and Overig)In a drawing view i only want to see the parts that has a specific value of the ipropertie "Positie".I found a sample code for VBA, but I cann't get it worked in ilogic.:
Sub HideSecond()
'Assumes you have an open drawing
'Assumes that view 1 of the active sheet is an assembly
'Turns off visibility of assembly's second component in open drawing's first view
[code]....
hind to turn this into ilogic and add the option to check the ipropertie to turn on the visibility

issues with parts lists generated from View representations?
This is weird but my parts list generated from View representation seem to be not accurate, when I take two assemblies that I need to create BOM for, and drop them into a new assembly, then create parts lists, its different from BOM generated from representation view that has too high numbers.

I'm trying to make a drawing of a assembly, and some of the parts were made in frame generator. When I try to make a section view the parts made in frame generator still show as whole instead of halved. Is there something that I need to toggle or vice versa so that this will not happen anymore?

I want to place a "Parts Only" BOM view of my Parts List. In the Parts List dialoge box, when view or document is selected, BOM View grays out and defaults to "Structured". This issue is new to my work station and is not an issue to the other stations. Why? How can I fix?
