I have created a presentation file. When I record it and open up the media file only half of my model is seen throughout the video. Is there any way to widen the camera view?
View 9 RepliesI'm in the process of creating an exploded view of an assembly. I'm having to do this in a presentation file, and I was wondering if it was possible to section one of the parts in the exploded view. To be more specific, I have the majority of my parts spread out around another assembly in the center of the page. I want to get a three quarter section view of the center assembly so the internals are visible. Is this possble from within a presentation file and if so, how can it be done?

When I go to animate an assembly in presentation, it will let me set the camera in the sequence view, however I can't seem to find a way to delete the camera. I put too many cameras and now the animations making too many transitions between tweaks. Is there a way to delete the set camera?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've created a view in my presentation file and tweaked all my components to where I want them. How do I change the level of detail associated with a particular explosion already created? I know when you create the view you can select which representation and level of detail to use, but how do you change these after the exploded view is created?

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.

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are sometimes faced with the problem that we would like change the coordinate system of the model and have the drawing update it with the new orientation of the part without the need to place every annotation again. This is mostly for legacy parts and assemblies which are not modeled correct according to the coordinate system of the machine.
The following sample code does not work, is this by design or is there an error in the code?
Public Sub RotateFirstView() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oDrawView As DrawingView Set oDrawView = oDrawDoc.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1) Dim oCamera As Camera Set oCamera = oDrawView.Camera Debug.Print oCamera.ViewOrientationType = kFrontViewOrientation oCamera.ViewOrientationType = kIsoBottomLeftViewOrientation oCamera.ApplyEnd Sub

I'm trying to retrieve a Camera Object for the "Home View", without setting the view to Home.
I use the "UserInteractionDisabled=true" in a addin to make sure the user doesn't mess with the inventor while my addin is doing some time consuming work.
When documents are open in this mode, the view is set to front. The only way I have found to get the camera for Home View, is to use the GoHome method on the ActiveView, but this is slow since it is running an animation...
Roughly im doing the following:
Inventor.UserInterfaceManager.UserInteractionDisabled = true;Document invDoc = Inventor.Documents.Open("c:\somefile.ipt");View v = invDoc.Views[1];v.GoHome(); //would like to not do this, it is animatingCamera cam = v.Camera;//cam.ViewOrientationType = ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kDefaultViewOrientation; //<- this will fail.. Point eye = cam.Eye; Vector up = cam.UpVector.AsVector();Point target = cam.Target;
Is it possible to get the Camera object for Home with "going" home?
Just got a Space Navigator the other day, pulled it out of the box all excited that i would be able to rotate models about the center of the camera, which would allow me to get into really tight spots, rotate the model and not have other parts of the model move in front of the camera, therefore blocking my view of what i was trying to see. So out it comes, all software loaded, inventor is open with a tidy structural assembly sittign there waiting to be manipulated by my new shiny toy, and uh no. CAN'T ROTATE ABOUT THE CAMERA! AARRGGGH. right bummer.
I'm pretty sure its an Inventor problem since i know for a fact that you can rotate about the center of the camera usign this device in 3ds max. The 3D navigation tools in inventor are crap anyway, the feature of being able to rotate about camera center should be native in inventor.
using any of 3D connexions devices in Inventor and maybe they have a work around for this. I'm pretty sure i read somewhere that with practice people have been able to 'fly' down pipes in Inventor. But my experience so far would mean that once you get to a bend in the pipe and you rotate the view, you would just rotate yourself straight out of the pipe.
When shooting RAW, the OM-D records 4:3 files no matter what the aspect ratio is set to. If you set it to 3:2 (for example), the camera records some sort of metadata to communicate this information to Lightroom, which honors the setting. So far, so good.
My question is, is there any way to override that setting? I have a photo shot at 3:2, but I can see from the in-camera preview that it'd be a better shot with the whole thing. But I can't figure out how to get LR 4.1rc2 to show me the whole thing!
I created *.ipn file and I tried to record the animation AVI file. After I finished playing the animation, I can see the AVI file was created but with 0KB, the avi is empty and cannot open.
I have no problem to create AVI file in my laptop but have such problem in my office's desktop computer.
I have put photos in the part and the assembly but they wont show up in the presentation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large assembly in Inventor Pro 2012 where I'm trying to show the installation process in Presentation. Since the sequences behave as opposite to an explosion, all the parts return to their original location after a tweak.
However if I am trying to show a jig that works in the installation process that I want to show being removed, how can I do that. In the assembly, the jig is constrained to the the part being installed, which makes it very difficult to show it being removed since the move happens first then it mates to the part during an animation. Any way to reverse the animation sequence?
I want to assign the viability and open part commands to the marking menu in the presentation environment, but they are always greyed out. They show in the drop down menu below it though??

I have exploded my assembly in a presentation file, but I have not been able to record it. I have recorded videos previously, but this time the record button simply does not stay pressed. I have tried recording the video as WMV and as AVI.

We have the following problem / bug and i was wondering if others can reproduce it.
(IV2013, SP1.1)
When adding a new sub-assembly to an existing ipn, the newly added assembly doesn't have the + sign to expand it. (see image)
Steps:
1. create a part. (anything will do) - Part1
2. make an assembly and add Part1 a few times. - Assembly1
3. make another assembly and add Assembly1 a couple of times. - Assembly2
4. create a presentation file with Assembly2, add a tweak for good measure. - Assembly2.ipn
5. Save the ipn. (and any other unsaved files)
6. now go back to Assembly2 and add another instance of Assembly1.
7. look at the presentation again, if it's the same as our situation there shouldn't be a + next to the newly added instance.
I created a IPN from an IAM for an exploded view. When I put the base view of that exploded assembly into a drawing, one of the main components is invisible. So when I mouse over the edge of the view, the bounding box does not even reach high enough to possibly include this component. All other components are visible in their correct exploded positions. I tried deleting the view and placing it again, but it does the same thing. The colored and shaded preview just before view placement shows all parts where they should be.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating an exploded view presentation of a large assembly. I understand that when sequences are created, the parts that are hidden at the time are added to the Hidden folder of that sequence. But since I had to work back and forth between sequences to tweak the order, I want to hide some parts that I just added and that belong to a previous sequence. The part is now randomnly hanging in space when the camera angle is trying to show another part of the assembly. How can I make parts hidden for some sequences but not other? There's no option to hide parts, only to unhide them from the Hidden folder. BTW, using Inventor Pro 2012.
Look at picture to better understand the question.
One of my draftsman is trying to put an identification Tag on one of our assembly.We made a symbol with our tag, and we put it on whatever where trying to identify directly on the presentation.
Our problem is that where not able to remove whatever is behind that symbol so that we can make that Tag readable.Is it possible to make only part of a line invisible in our presentation?
I've poked around a little and made simple rules to manipulate iproperties, save filetypes, change drawing borders etc. but am now looking for a bit more and am struggling (i.e. completely lost.) I want to automate the creation of an assembly drawing from an existing presentation file. Here is the basic break-down:
Assumed Pre-Requisites:
- Using Inventor 2011
- Presentation(*.ipn) file is present and saved in same directory
- Each presentation VIEW is numbered and named (e.g. "1 - PCB Installation", "2 - Battery Insertion", etc.)
iLogic/VBA Code should:
- Select presentation file (either auto or allow user browse/select)
- Create a page in the drawing (*.idw) for each VIEW from the presentation file
- Create a base view on each page for each presentation VIEW (in numbered order)
- Each base view orientation will be derived from Saved Camera
- Each drawing page will be named using the name from the corresponding presentation VIEW name
- Each page will have a prompted entry in the Title Block that will be defaulted to the presentation VIEW name
I have found some code which extracts the part number from the iproperties of a model and adds it to the custom iproperties of a drawing but this will only work on iam or ipt files.
Here's the code, I added the lines referring to the docment type as an attempt to fix the error but it didn't work...
If (ThisDrawing.ModelDocument Is Nothing) Then ReturnIf ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.DocumentType = kPresentationDocumentObject Then modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)End IfIf
[Code]....
Is it possible to have an Assembly and/or Presentation as a drawing (.dwg) with a Visual Style of Shaded with Edges? In particular my black .ipt parts look just fine with white/grey edges except when placing the view in a drawing.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhy Camera Views is different from all other views in Revit. It is simple not possible to add a view reference, or a tag etc. to reference to a camera view.
Of course I can put in a 'dead' symbol to show where it is in plans, but that's simply not the same...
leaving the isolate mode in a camera view (3dsmax-camera or vrayphysical-camera) changes the view from cameraview to perspective view. Am I missing any new setting or ist this a bug...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI attached a sketch to a view, fully constrained the lines in the sketch to the PG from the lines in the standard view.
Everything looks good but when I click "Finish Sketch" and it leaves the sketch environment the lines from the sketch shift slightly out of alignment.
The dimensions I have to these lines are in the right locations so it looks like they aren't going to the sketch lines. But if I try to "connect" the dimensions to where the lines are actually being show it gives me errors saying there is nothing there to connect to.
