AutoCAD Inventor :: Placing Component In Multiple Views?

May 7, 2013

I have created an assembly with multiple views to show the multiple configurations of our products. However, half way down the line I realized I had forgotten to place a component. When I placed the component, I found that it had been placed in all the views automatically. Is there a way to select the views to place the components in or to prevent the component from being placed in any of the custom views except the default view?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Placing Multiple Instances Of Component At Once

Aug 26, 2013

I use a "dump assembly" of assemblies to create cut lists. I throw in multiple copies of each assembly for the job. Sometimes it can be 100 or so of each.These are not placed in any way and could be all placed at the origin. This is only for the parts list and servers no other function. 

Any way to place multiple instances of an assembly at once?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Locking A View In DWG When Placing Views?

Dec 3, 2013

I am using Inventor 2012.

I created an assembly in Inventor and now I am creating a drawing for it in Inventor.  I have a few views placed of the same assembly.

Is there a way to lock one view in the assembly?  For example, my assembly consists of a door, I would like to have one view with the door open and another view with the door closed on the same drawing using the same assembly link.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Create Multiple Views Of Same Part Separated From Other Base Views

Apr 3, 2013

I am trying to create a second base view (using Layout/Create View/Base from model space). The problem is, I need it to be rotated from the original base view. However, when I rotate the part in model space, ALL of my views change. 

So I guess my question is, how do I create multiple views of the same part that are seperate from the other base views?

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Replace Component With Multiple Different Components

Jan 5, 2014

So I have been going round and round in circles on this one iam trying to use replace component within ilogic which is fine with switching one part for another but I want a drop down of parts so it replaces which ever one is active the problem I am having is establishing which one is active. So below is what I have so far but the problem is you cant seem to reference a part that is not in the assembly so I keep getting the error

The component named "Flange 1" was not found for example. I just need a way of establishing which one is currently in the assembly but with out referencing components that are not there.

If Component.IsActive("Flange 1")=True Then current = 1
If Component.IsActive("Flange 2")=True Then current = 2
If Component.IsActive("Flange 3")=True Then current = 3
If part = 1 And current = 2 Then Component.Replace("flange 2", "Flange 1.ipt", True) End If
If part = 1 And current = 3 Then Component.Replace("flange 3", "Flange 1.ipt", True) End If
If part = 2 And current = 1 Then Component.Replace("flange 1", "Flange 2.ipt", True) End If
If part = 2 And current = 3 Then Component.Replace("flange 3", "Flange 2.ipt", True) End If
If part = 3 And current = 1 Then Component.Replace("flange 1", "Flange 3.ipt", True) End If
If part = 3 And current = 2 Then Component.Replace("flange 2", "Flange 3.ipt", True) End If

AutoCad :: Right Click To Change Scale Is Kind Of Moody When Placing Views On Sheet

Oct 20, 2013

The sheet set manager is an awesome tool (i just started using it a week ago). The problem is, whenever I place a view on my sheet, (by right clicking>place on sheet) and it says "Scale: 1:1 Right-click to change scale", i right click and all i get is:

"Invalid point. Specify insertion point:"

But here's the twist: Sometimes it does work (like 10% of the time) but most of the time it annoyingly doesn't. here are some photos:

*i'm using Autocad 2014 32bit

*using Autocad 2011 32bit in our office but still experience the very same case.

as you can see i have already attaced the "site development plan" view here (after a few tries) cadtutor 1.jpg

this is how i place views on my sheets. i can also drag and drop, but i prefer right clicking it. (are there other ways? share them too!) cadtutor 2.jpg

here, i've already clicked place on sheet and it's asking me to right click if i want to change the scale. cadtutor 3.jpg of course i do and i need to, but this: cadtutor 4.jpg

like i said, sometimes it works. I do a few rituals (i just invented) before getting it to show this scales list like right clicking rapidly or holding rightclick repeatedly but not rapidly. and "SOMETIMES" it does work. but more often, it doesn't. cadtutor 5.jpg

AutoCAD Inventor :: Browser Component Names Do Not Change After Replacing Component

We are having an issue when we replace a component in Inventor Pro 2012.  When we replace a component, the name in the browser does not update to the new component.  We've even tried to close and re-open the Inventor assembly and that does not work.  We end up manual double clicking the name in the browser and type in the new component name.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Detecting If Component Occurrence Is Virtual Component

Jul 25, 2012

II need a way to tell if a component occurence is a virtual component.

I'm using a For Each loop to cycle through all of the components in an assembly, and if the component is itself an assembly to set the LOD to "Custom". I'm using the definition document descriptor object for this. It all woks fine until the loop comes across a virtual component which doesn't have a definition document, so I need a way to check if the component is virtual and needs to be skipped.Here's the

Option ExplicitImports Inventor.LevelOfDetailEnumSub MainiLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueDim doc As AssemblyDocumentDim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentationDim oAsmCompDef As ComponentDefinitionDim oComp As ComponentOccurrenceDim oComps As ComponentOccurrencesdoc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Skip Saving A Suppressed Component / Delete Suppressed Component

Aug 30, 2012

I have an assembly which has a few components suppressed.

My end results is another copy of the assembly (with copies of the all the parts) in another directory

Now i am able to create copies of un-suppressed parts using; (this allows me to SaveAs assembly components which are not suppressed)

DocumentsEnumerator = ThisDoc.Document.AllReferencedDocuments

And save a copy of the assembly using

ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs

I also added the fllowing snippet (which I am not sure what is does), but it does not work for me

Component.SkipDocumentSave = true

 When I open the newly created assembly, I still see the suppressed components in the model browser

I want to either;

Skip saving the of the components in the model browser (i.e. the Assembly)

OR

Delete the suppressed parts in the Assembly, so that they do not save altogether

AutoCad :: User Interface When In Multiple Views?

Dec 11, 2011

I have no issues when using autocad for simple 2d drafting, layers and commands seem straightforward enough, but I am having real difficulty with the 3d interface when set up with 4 viewports, similar to Rhino (top, front, right and perspective)

Question #1: can I link the viewports so that moving around in 1 moves the other simultaneously to the same zoom and location?

Question #2: can I set up the MButtonPAN (or similar for orbit) command to orbit ONLY when in a perspective viewport? (in rhino, the right mouse button always orbits in a perspective viewport, and pressing shift with right mouse button can pan, ideally this is what I need or some variant of it). It seems very cumbersome to have to use the orbit button every time I want to adjust my perspective view!

Basically I want to make my workflow as similar to Rhino as possible, as it has become deeply engrained, and so far the crossover is not going well.

Photoshop :: Placing Multiple Pics On Same Page

Sep 13, 2007

I there to all. Still GNU at PS.

I have three jpegs, not necessarily the same size/res. Here are the particlulars:

1) Bush, 600x914 @ 300 dpi,

2) Borat, 1024x799 @ 300 dpi,

3) Moore, 1172x778 @ 150 dpi.

I would like to place these images so that GW is between our pals. All three pics have different backgounds (caps from DVD etc).

So, ideally, I'd like to have all three images on the same (i.e. a new or different background - perhaps CLOUDS). I have a weird sense of humor.

The reason for this is that I am compiling a "Funky" movie with vids from news shows with bush, video caps from Farenheight and Borat. The images are being used as thumbnails for chapters, while the composite will be a splash screen for the begining and background for the main menu. Just something to amuze me..

I realize that there will be some differences once the images are all merged and I am more that willing to play and play and play. Just need somewhere to start.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multiple Section Views / Draft Option

Sep 5, 2013

When creating multiple sections using the draft option what settings control how the sections are placed? For example, 5 across, 4 down.

edit - I have several alignments. One that has 8 section views is created with 4 across and 3 down, another with 18 sections is created with 5 across and 4 down and a third with 34 is created with 6 across and down. I'd like to be able to control this if possible.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Volume Tables For Multiple Section Views

Jan 23, 2012

I am working on a corridor project where I have to make section views of the road.  I created my sample lines by range of stations, and made all of my section views from there.  Now I need to add volume tables for each section view.

I have 28 section views, and more to come when I do another set of sample lines for another road, and I don't feel like going through each section view individually to make volume tables for them.

Is there a way I can create total volume tables for all of my section views at the same time?  It would save a lot of time!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multiple Section Views - How To Amend Design

I added an additional sample line to the sample line group and then updated the secion view layout but the additional section did not show in the multiple section view. Is there a way to add the additional section to the existing multiple section view? or do I need to go through the process of deleting the current sections and creating a new multiple section view that includes the new sample line?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Multiple Section Views From A Corridor

I am attempting to create section views from a corridor. I have about 80 sections total that I would really like to stack 3 high...then just across the page. Any step by step that make this process easy to understand? 

Right now I get 10 high then across the page (using 'draft' option).  I've tried to make a dwt at a 10 scale, (setting the viewport at 10 scale and viewport as a 'section' in the properties), but when I use that, the sections start overlapping (this is using the 'production' option).
