When I place a view in my idw, it is not "view1". Is there a way to reset my file so that it will be?
View 9 Replies View Relatedgiven I do a foreshortened view. Is there a way to fit the shortenings parameters to a view in a different window with a different reference file?
If not it would be a little awkward to achieve exactly the same result with a different file. As replacing references does´nt work with single view representation I´m stuck with manual- non constrained alignment of view details... which can´t be right I guess.
if there was a way to do it "right" without the need to switch to AutoCAD.

Is there a quick way to detail parts from an assembly without having to browse to a part and then search through and select a part and insert a Base View?
For instance from within SolidWorks you can insert a view of an assembly and if you need to detail any part within that assembly you can simply click/select on the part in an assembly view and right click insert view then your View Menu pops up and you are moving forward. If you have to detail several parts you can spit out their Base Views in a matter of seconds. Even if you are making a seperate sheet just for the parts it is easier to insert an assembly view off the sheet and select the parts from there insert all of your part views then delete the assembly view if you want. You can also go to the properties of each view and link the balloons to your assembly BOM.
It is very useful if you are generating drawings such as I do with most parts for the assembly being detailed on the same sheets.
So is there a quick way to get the parts detailed?
When I use File > Open or Place Component the Windows file browser opens in List mode which means that I have to use the horizontal scroll bar to browse the directory. I would like it to open in Detail mode [List and Detail are some of the view choices under the View Menu of the Windows file browser window] allowing me to browse with the vertical scroll bar. -- I think it's ergonomically eaisier.
I can make the change from the View Menu but it doesn't hold. I have checked to see that Windows 2000 is set for Details when using Windows Explorer.
Are there any settings in Inventor to force Detail mode?
I have a plan view where I want to show the door openings but I want the section view w/ the doors closed. I can't seem to get inventor to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way while using position views to have a part that is adaptive resize? It's easy enough in master view to change placement of parts and have adaptive parts update, but when I try it with position views, the parts will not adapt. Can it even be done with a positional view?
Right now I am using position views and level of detail to suppress two different parts, when I would prefer the same part just update in size. I need the position views so i can show different positions without making new assemblies, but cant get the adaptive parts to work in a positional view.
I just want two parts to move position, and the part between them to update in size depending on the distance. Easy in master view, and so far undo able in position views.
Placing a Datum Target Identifier on a dwg. When your are in the Datum Target dialog box under Dimension, you have to type in a number indicating the diameter of the datum target circle. Normally you can't put in a diameter symbol before the number, but I just found out a way.
Make sure your Num Lock light is on. While holding down the ALT button on your keyboard, type in 0216 using the numeric keypad. This will put in a diameter symbol.
ALT 0216 diameter symbol
ALT 0176 Deg symbol
ALT 0177 Plus / Minus symbol
Another problem is, after placing the Datum Target you can't dimension to it. That can be solved by putting a sketch of a circle (phantom line) with it's diameter and locating dimensions on the dwg view. Then you can placing the Datum Target Identifier on the the circle.
A wish list to Autodesk:
Allow dimensioning to the symbol
Have a diameter symbol already in the dialog box
Have a option that sizes the datum circle diameter
I am being requested that I add a plunger/ anchor to the datum identifier within/ on a GD&T feature control frame (see attached). This is per ASME Y14.5M - 1994 and Autodesk IV states that it meets this spec. I also checked with a couple of 'reliable sources' and they also stated that it needs to be there. I was hoping that it was a personnel preference/ company standard type thing.
How to change the setting to add it within the control frame generator?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I duplicate a view with details, and the original view has already issued revisions, the duplicated view gets these revisions too. But the view is not place on a sheet.
Still after copying I cannot delete the revisions or the view anymore, Revit says:
So what to do? Duplicate view without detailing and copy past detailing (without revisions) or is there something i am missing?
I have rotated my view about 15 degress (just for this example).Now I prompt user to select the point, which is also an insertion point of the block.
So we have:
- selected point: X=0, Y=294, Z=0;
- insertion point of the block: X=0, Y=294, Z=0
(this is what I have in properties list or when I execute LIST command).
Now in my
ed.WriteMessage("
Base X: " + basePoint.X.ToString()); ed.WriteMessage("
Base Y: " + basePoint.Y.ToString()); ed.WriteMessage("
Block X: " + blkRef.Position.X.ToString()); ed.WriteMessage("
Block Y: " + blkRef.Position.Y.ToString());
This gives me:
Base X: -2.89976376244283E-14 - OK
Base Y: 294.058394637539 - OK
Block X: -76.1079129044681 - BAD
Block Y: 284.038597817502 - BAD
My question - why blockReference position is different that it should be?
I have some doubts about Level of Details. How to constraint the assembly in Level of detail mode. I need suppress the features in position mode not in Level of Detail mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe work on A3 size sheets and becourse we have a lack of plotters we can not exceed this size. What the next entails ... The details that we need to make understandable are something too small because there is just no space on the paper for us to make this really clear by eg using the scale 1:1.
Our question is:
-Can I place a created detail from Sheet 01 on to another sheet?
-Can I have a reference in the partkist to this Sheet 03?
IF it is possible to display the alignment/profile position (X, Y, Z) on each section view?

These details tells that the way you created the sketches, features, planes, model, etc.
Are there any possibilities to remove the design details from the file?
I am not talking about the export formats (ie. STP, STL, SAT, etc) I ask this because I sometimes don't want to show details that how I created the models.
You are using an assembly with many LODs. Each time you place a component in your assembly , that one will be active in all level of Details.For some configurations, you would like one component to be active in only one LOD. Inc.

If I have several sheets of several floors, and I want the views in each sheet to be positioned at exactly the same position. How do I best accomplish that?
You can use the "Guide Grid" to place the views on a sheet. Then you can align the view (using the grid lines) to this guide grid. In the other sheets, you can use again the same guide grid, just select the guide grid name in the properties of the sheet.
Additional information about guide grid is available in the Revit help, search for "Aligning views on a sheet" or "Guide Grid".
We have a problem in some of our views (mostly dependent views), Central file.We place normal annotation text (not littera) and everything looks fine.
Then it happens, random can take days, and noone tuch the views nor the text style, that the text duplicate itself up to 1-4 times, and also change its location on the view.(The text don't lie on each other, but spread around the view, but keeps the condition in location to each other from the origin texts that was placed)
When we have encounter this we have deleted the copys and placed the text right again and then it works for a while...everything repeats itself, and in the end (random timeflow) the text deletes itself completely.
Is there a way to get the position parameters for a Biped COM to play with in Track View? All I get are the rotation parameters.

Is it possible to attach an identify marker or title to a moving object in Video Studio X4 PRO. I video trains. As the train comes toward me in the video I would like to attach the number of the diesel and type to it and each unit behind it ,if there are any. As it comes closer the marker gets bigger and more readable then, as the diesel disappears from view it's marker goes with it and the next one does the same thing, then the next.
For example, during NASCAR races an identifying marker, showing the drivers name and car number, is applied on screen and stay "attached" to the car as it travels through traffic around the raceway until it's turned off.
I don't know if it will look good or not but I would like to try it. Is that possible or have I gone way beyond VS x4 pro's capability?
Is it possible to setup a block so that an attribute position remaines fixed (absolute to drawing) when moving the block?
I've been playing around with creating a Coordinate Block by following these instructions: [URL] ........
What I would like is to be able to set the position of the Coordinate Label and Coordinate Object independently, so that if I move one in the drawing, it doesn't move the other. I've looked into Dynamic Blocks, and the "Lock Position" parameter. I can move the attribute independently, but still everytime I move the block, the attribute moves too.
Our company uses a custom Sheet/Coordinate system to follow flyoffs across a drawing, and I'm trying to learn how to automate the process. It's completely manually right now, so any changes to a drawing creates a lot of work renumbering these flyoffs.

I am dabbling with the new appearance settings in Inventor and for some reason or other; I can’t seem to align the weld bump map to what I would like. I want to shift the position of the map so it shows a full weld bead, not two halves as shown.

I have now been able to select items in an assembly and get weight and COG details of just the selected items, however I guess the COG will be working from the world datum as the xyz data is very wrong?
how do i set the world datum to a known point on one of the parts in the current view so that I can get the COG to relate to a position within the part that I set the datum to?
basically I have a block of metal with a load of parts on one end that offsets the weight / COG and i need to balance this on some brackets that are equally spaced from the COG, so i need to determine where the COG is of all the selected parts but as a position within the block from a known point.
I use the Key Generator from the Design Accelerator and drag the red arrow to position the key under the gear.
Numbers change, and when i position the key they disappear.
There is no way to input a precise dimension. am i right?
