AutoCAD Inventor :: Partslist Export To DWG And PDF
Jul 3, 2012
We are working with IV2012 and for a customer we have to generate about 1400 drawings. All these drawings we have to export to (Autocad) DWG and PDF format with the drawing number, revision, sheet size and name in the filename processed. All the parts and assemblies only have the part number as filename and this corresponds to the drawing file (idw) name. We dont want to change these basic filenames so i made a rule to export a assembly drawing and the part list, if present.
So far so good, the only problem I encounter is that I can't get the revision number outoff the iproperties from the right drawing. Say that if the assembly drawing has revision A, all the exported drawings from the part list get that revision number, even if they don't have a revision filled in. At first I export the main drawing, then test for a part list, if present, I loop through all the drawings in the part list, open them and export them to DWG and PDF. And that's the point where it is going wrong with the right revision number. It seems that the only iproperties I can approach are those from the main drawing, the file from where the rule is fired.
Because the rule is pretty long I attached it.

When you open Inventor 9 drawing in the Inventor 11. It is possible to convert partslist by clicking right mousebutton above partslist and selecting "convert" from the popup menu .Is it possible to do this partslist convert in the VBA?Is this partslist convert supported in the IV 11 or IV 2008 API?

I need to add a custom column to a parts list and have it display as the last column.
oPartsList.PartsListColumns.Add (kCustomProperty)
This code runs, but nothing happens...no error...no column..

I use Inventor 2010.
I would like to have a dynamic Partslist on my drawing. In the "comments" field in the partslist I specify the pipe with DN or ASME standard with size and Length. But the length is diffrent on every occation and therefor on every drawing. Can I display the parameter for the length variable in the comments-column instead of a fixed value?
Ex. Pipe length parameter: "PipeLength" (= 200)
I want to use a command, something like
DN32, L= <PipeLength> MM
Result displayed in the comments field:
DN32, L=200 MM
How do I get this result? Do I need iLogic installed for this?

As I know, the balloon in Inventor drawing (.idw) is always associated with partslist or BOMview, is it true? But the result is not always what I want. I have to override the partslist generated balloon manually many many occations.
Can I create an independent balloon where I can assign the number (or even alphabet text) directly. Is there any API to create such independent balloon which can attach to a drawing curve?

Program: Inventor 2012
Type: Sheet Metal Mode
1. Right click my Flat Pattern
2. Select "Export Face As"
I select the option and I do FOUR separate test(2000,2004,2007,2010) and save each on accodingly
part_2000.dxf
part_2004.dxf
part_2007.dxf
part_2010.dxf
when I drag each of them into "AutoCAD 2009 - English Version 2" I get this
Unknown value "AC1024" encountered in drawing version.
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.
I understand 2010 not able but the last 3 from before 2009. Am I missing something here??

I create idw which contain between 70 and 150 sheets. I would like to export them to dwf, but Inventor will sometimes just hang. I have let it run overnight and it still just sits there. It doesn’t' use up memory or CPU it just stops.
I can sometimes break them into chunks of 20 sheets at a time, but sometimes even then it will hang. We have the same issue on multiple computers and different drawings. I don’t select 3d export just the 2D Is this a known issue... are there some limitations on dwf size?

I have a multibody part. The last command is a combine the toolbodies saved. (we want to use these in other parts) I have RMB on the bodies that I don't want exported and made sure they are not selected for export. But when I then export as an STL file, all the bodies are exported. Is there a way of exporting just one of the bodies to an STL file? I assume the Export object mentioned when RMB the bodies is for exporting to derived parts.
I'm trying to export just one body so that we can 3D print it, but because all the bodies are exported the resulting file has overlapping bodies, which the printer doesn't like.
So, again, Is there a way of exporting just one of the bodies to an STL file?
PS, Yes I'm still on 2010. We have been told we wil be upgrading soon. How long is soon? IV 2010

We are looking for a way to export BOM's without having to open individual IDW's.
We were unable to find such a function in either Inventor or Vault Workgroup. We have found customized function for export but each file has to be opened. Is there such a function available that we might have missed or third party?
We are currently working with 2011 versions of Inventor and Vault Workgroup, soon to be migrated to 2013.

I have a frame that we have designed and detailed using Inventor and Frame Generator. The steel fabricator is asking for a CIS/2 model file to use with their Fabrication/Management software. I have done a search of this forum and found two posts asking about this format (from 2004 & 2009) but neither have any responses.
It does not appear that IV will export this information natively so I am looking for some kind of work-flow to get them this information using AD products. Any resellers out there familiar with a product/translator?

I often use Inventor to generate 2D views of things for AutoCAD. Once I get the view into AutoCAD, I want to copy the outline, make a polyline of it, decurve it and make a wipe out of that.
This is all well and good until Inventor exports an ellipse in the drawing. They can't be converted to a polyline. So, is there some way to force Inventor to export them as some other entity type or is there a way to convert them in AutoCAD that I'm not aware of? The only two things I've tried are flatten and explode and neither of them works.

In AutoCAD, when I want to create a 2D block representation, I used the flat shot command. Is there a workflow that will result in creating a 2D block for ACAD from an assembly in IV?
FYI, my customer would like a 2D block representation to insert into his ACAD prints. My assembly is very complex. I tried exporting to .dwg and then opening the file in ACAD and creating flatshots, but it bogged ACAD to a screeching halt.

I found a issue that vba reads bom in different way when I tried to export bom to excel. here is the routie i am using for BOM. I am using inventor 2012 sp1, window 7 sp1 and excel 2007
1. create a assembly with bom structured view enabled.
2. open BOM editor in structured view tab. sort BOM by part number, and renumber them from 1,2,3....
3. save and exit.
4. in vba, i used code below
For Each oRow In oStructuredBOMView.BOMRows
Set oDoc = oRow.ComponentDefinition(1).Document
On the export bom excel sheet, the item order is different from BOM in assembly file. on the excel sheet, the order of item number is same before sorting and renumber BOM. It seems to me that BOM editor didnt remember sorting and renumber.

How can I export an animation that I have created in Inventor Studio and Import into Showcase? I see that Showcase creates an *.fbx file when it imports my Inventor Assembly, but somehow the results I get are different every time I import.
After some time I discovered that "Verhalten" seems to contain the animation from Inventor, but there are always some parts missing in the animation where Showcase (2012) doesn´t recognize that there are other parts connected to that one moving part.
It´s all constrained in Inventor and behaves like it should either in the assembly and in the studio environment.

For my suppliers i usually send them my drawing in dxf and pdf format. So i created this short Code (in rules area) to simplify exports:
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs("C:UsersThomasDesktopExports" &ThisDoc.FileName &".dxf",True)ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs("C:UsersThomasDesktopExports" &ThisDoc.FileName &".pdf",True)
My question is about pdf files. All is ok when my drawing have only one sheet, but my problem occurs when my drawing have two or more sheets. In this case the pdf have only one sheet exported, impossible to export all my sheets (only the page on the screen is exported in pdf). Is it possible to exports all sheet in one time.
(Actually i must go to "Autodesk" -> "Create a copy" -> ".pdf" -> "Option" -> "All sheets" -> "Save" if çi want to get a pdf with all sheets)
I use Inventor 2011)

I'm having an issue with exporting an Inventor 2012 .idw to AutoCAD DWG.I am trying to export a multi-sheet drawing to AutoCAD 2007 using the Model Space - Full Scale option.
IT seems like no matter what I try, it will only export the geometry from the first sheet. It creates the other 2 .dwg files (Sheet 2 and 3) but they are empty. The drawing set is comprised of a large plan view on sheet 1 and then a bunch of section views, originally cut on sheet 1 and then moved to the other sheets.
I tried using the other options "Sheet Scale - Model Space" which left me with some odd scale factor on the section views (completely different from the scale on the drawing) so, I can't use that.And "Base View Scale - Model Space" or "Layout" give me the same result as the 1:1 scale option... all 3 files, but 2 and 3 are empty.I tried .dxf and other AutoCAD versions with no change.

I have an iLogic rule that asks if I want to export a DXF (yes/no) every time I save an Inventor DWG. In some of our drawings we have pictures and those don't get included in the DXF export. Can DXFs handle pictures? How can I have it include the picture as well?

Can I export from IV 2013 directly to NX? I've seen several documents indicating there is some degree of "interoperability," but I don't see NX/UG/.prt as an export option. So, is NX import only?

I am working on iLogic models and have a sketch feature in a part that is used as a referance for a caulk bead. The sketch is in an IPT and is a stand alone feature. I am trying to have this sketch feature be visible in and IDW file of the product I am developing but cannot seem to find a solution. Is this even possible and if so what am I doing wrong?
I am doing it this way because the caulk bead spans the entire height of the part which can change via different custom parameters, therefore the caulk bead needs to be able to change with the part while not losing its sketch references.
