I am struggling to populate a list view on my windows form. I have tried various methods but its not working. I can get the values into the listview but where i need 2 columns with many rows, i am just get 5 columns.
my list view needs to populate 2 columns. the first column is visible and shows a part name. the second column is hidden and holds a different value. I recursively loop through records and i need to add a row per record. This is captured with j. How can i add the correct amount of rows per j and the columns to hold the correct data?
how do I insert text faster? Attached is a screen capture of my set-up. I am bulding a plaque. how to set up "pre-determined" text fields that populate from an internal or external text? Right now I have to >duplicate layer>drag layer to new spot>enter in new text. It would be really neat if PS could populate from a file like web-site populate pages from other text files.
I am having trouble locating where the default idws pull the scale info from the drawing view. I want to populate my title block with scale, but when I try to edit the text in the format dialog box "view label properties" is not an option see attachment untitled 2. See attachment untitled for the default idw properties which I am trying to emulate.
I've created a form to fill out with drop down options that link to a multitext parameter. I want to link this parameter to the keyword iproperty but a text parameter will not export.
I already have a cut list template in Excel that calculates my stock material, volume, etc when I populate the appropriate fields. It is also connected to an access database that has various information that automatically generates the final price of my product based on various suppliers prices and data with whom I do business with and so on.
I would like to know if there was a way with iLogic to make Inventor populate specific cells with information found in the BOM such as: description; Qty and custom iProperties value like dimensions, etc?
The reason why I'm making a new topic out of this is that I have read previous post about the issue, but they were regarding "exporting the BOM to an excel". I, on the other hand, would like to populate an already existing spreadsheet with data from the BOM
After exploring the iLogic snippets, I've only found the "export" option. It referenced the API snippets, but with limited programming knowledge there is not much I can understand.
I have a ListView control from where I drag items to Drawing area. Whenever mouse leaves the ListView Control and enters the AutoCAD drawing area, AutoCAD claims the mouse cursor back to Cross Pointer.
Is it possible to change this cursor during drag operation to a pointer with some attachment? As normally happened in Windows Explorer while dragging and dropping files among folders.
In Civil 3d 2011 I have always used the windows start menu file history to open recent documents. Its no longer populating that field, but other windows applications are.
I went to sort my parcel list in the prospector by label and doing so made all the parcels vansih from the list. I have turned off show preview. I expand the site to get to parcels. I click on parcel but nothing appears in the prospector. The parcels are in the drawing. I can view each one in preview. The list was there until I tried to sort them.
If I do a refresh they try to come back for a split second then are gone again. A restart does not make a difference
point# | X | Y | Desc_1 | Desc_2 | Desc_3 |....... ect
I would like to make an excel table that i can create multiple points from and make that table dynamic, ie if i edit the table the points will change.I would be labeling the points according to the different desc_# in multiple drawings
Is there any way to do this? I have messed with creating a user defined property classification and creating a new point file format, but i want that point file I imported to be dynamic, and if I change values the values will change in all my drawings.
Am creating chapters in edit mode and adding chapter names. When I go to create mode I can find no-way to automatically populate the DVD menu with the pre-inputted names i created in edit mode. Assume this must be possible.
I'm trying to finally utilize iLogic and all of its functionality (after using the basic features of inventor for the past 3 or so years) and I was wondering if there was a way to use iLogic (or some other feature for inventor) to resize text in a title block field of an IDW based on the length of the text entered (i.e. if the part's name was "Cam Retainer" the text height would be .12, but if its part name was "Spacer Cam Retainer Bushing" the text height would shrink down to .085 or something) so that it would still fit nicely into the text block?
I am having problems with changing the height of the dimension text. I have tried going into the style editor and changing the text height in there and then saving it. The number for the height that I changed stays saved however the actual text height on the drawing does not, not even after I tell it to update.
I'd like to be able to have 2 lines in the Format Text box and have the first line show up on the drawing (IDW) but have the other line only show up in the Format Text box for reference. I've tried making a new Text Style of Hidden but any time I try to change one line it automatically changes them both.
I would like to add a Leader Text to lable a part- referencing the Part Number or whatever, move the text close to the edge of the part, to remove the leader/arrow and make the txt rotate 90deg to be vertical. I have messed with style settings for a new Vertical Txt style, and Vert Dim style -(pointed to the Vert Txt style and adjusted Notes and Leaders tab)
i don't understand why in the Format Text window the "rotation" box is always grayed out. can you unlock it?
Is it possible to create a associative text in a sketched symbol that is linked to a BOM row? I want to display the object number of BOM row in a sketched symbol in a drawing. Sorting and renumbering BOM should be recognized and the number should be updated.
The ESKD-AddIn seems to be able to do so in technical requirements, but how is this done?
How do you add text before a dimension in the idw environment? For example, I have a dimension that shows 40".... I want to add text before it to say something like.... " 8 Spaces at 5" = 40" ".... The 40 would be the default dimension value, everything else I want to add to the dimension... I have added tons of text information behind default dimension values, this is the first time I need to add the text before the value and cannot figure out how to get it to work...
I'm using 2013 with all the latest updates. This is what we're seeing, on exporting drawings to dwg, nearly all title block text is shifted from it's constrained position.
Case in point. There are like 10 lines for customer information. One line will look like the following:
JOBSITE: MIAMI, FL
In that example, JOBSITE is a single text object with bottom left justification. MIAMI, FL is a single text object as well that is a linked custom field with bottom left justification.
Both of these are constrained to construction lines in the title block. I've locked the text's insertion point to the intersection of lines, and to a point. In inventor, it works great. In editing the title block these things do not budge at all. They're locked up tight.
Problem is when exporting to autocad, the JOBSITE text will shift down and the MIAMI, FL text will shift up.
I thought maybe the constraints were off, but not that I can see. I removed all constraints and floated them and the same thing happened. Seems to happen no matter what we do. I turned the construction lines visible to see if they had issues and they hold their place fine. The text still shifts. The only text that seems to hold its spot are the pieces of text that are top middle justified.
There is ONE WAY to get the text to hold it's place. Export the file to a 2013 Inventor DWG file. That holds the text in the correct place. However, we need these files in normal 2010 format for a client. Saving these from autocad 2013 to 2010 works fine. However, it's more than 2x the work.
I've seen a couple old posts talking about multiple text types/sizes in one object but this isn't the case, every bit of text in the title block is a separate entity and a singular height and style.
And on a related issue, it's be nice if Inventor knew that things like commas and slashes and whatnot are permitted to go below the bottom justification lines and not force all the text up but that's a separate issue.
Recently I had to re-install Inv 2011. Before I did this, I could stack my text. After re-install, it asked for my atuostack options (which i entered), and clicked "Do Not Show Again". Afterwhich the text did not stack (which is the opposite of what i told it to do). Now I cannot stack text at all. Even if i highlight, right click, and select stack - it doesn't stack. If I open a prevoius drawing with stacked text it shows stacked text, but if you edit the text field it shows the text as S<1/70>3#8s for 3/8.
I want to know how the text which is created in an IDW is stored. Moreover I want to know if this can be extracted, accessed or modified externally? Maybe there is some way with the API?
Any way to translate the language of a drawing without having to be a CAD user.
My perfect scenario would be that the IDW's in a Vault environment could be copied and the text translated as part of the process.
We revise multiple items on a drawing at the same time. When we do this we add a number next to the revision letter to reference in the revision block. For example if we are on rev B and we revise 3 items we would need tags that say B1, B2, B3. We can edit the tags to reflect this, but I was wondering if there is any way to get the tags to do this automatically without using code.
I have just installed Inventor 2013. How can I fix the UI Ribbon cutting off button text? I have attached a photo demonstrating the problem. I cropped the screen shot to only show the ribbon to cut down on excessive image size.
I am trying to use the Inventor API to customize the text label that appears next to a section cutline in a drawing.
The text in question can be modfied through the Name variable of the SectionDrawingViewType object. However, this approach changes both the name of the SectionDrawingViewType object, as well as the text next to the section line. Is it possible to access just the section line text through the API? Is this text field exposed? Which object type is this text field?
I'm fairly new to the world of CAD, and I was just working on a phone case for my friend when I tried to extrude geometry text, but couldn't because the OK and Apply options were greyed out. I tried embossing and making a hole, but they were greyed out for them too. I tried messing with the settings to see if I could fix it, but I still couldn't. I'm really confused right now, I remember doing something similar for a case I made for myself.?
I'm attempting to use the "emboss" feature and wrapping the text to the surface of the part.
Attached is the example of the part I am working with. Also attached is the error message I receive after attempting the process. Is there another way to wrap the text about the surface of a "coiled" face?
