How to set to ProgressiveToolTip.Image Property for my new Inventor add-in ?
Dim mbp10 As ProgressiveToolTip
mbp10 = m_featureCountButtonDef10.ProgressiveToolTip
mbp10.Title = "main title"
mbp10.Description = "description for main title"
mbp10.ExpandedDescription = "extended description for main title"
mbp10.Image= ??? (as object)
For several years I've been programming in Inventor and AutoCAD, with VBA. Making macros and creating a button for them in the toolbar of Inventor is no problem. What disturbs me slightly is that the name of the button is the same as the name of the macro. In VBA you can't create functions with spaces in the name. So the name of the toolbar button often looks quite silly.
Is there a way to change the name and the tooltip-text of the toolbar button without loosing the link to the original macro? In AutoCAD this is no problem, but Inventor...

I am wanting to copy the behaviour of a built in function in Civil3d on another object basically information on the object is displayed in a box next to the cursor cros hair but its not a tooltip.
My question is what is it and can you access it for do you have to create it yourselve.
Method to change the font inside the the tooltips generated when you hover over an object?? I have followed the tutorials from the developers specifically lab 6 which uses the point monitor event to append text to the tooltips when the aperture is hovering over an item in autocad. I would like to be able to make certain words bold but so far have not figured out how to do so.
I would like my rollover tool tip to display the entire name of the surface not just the first 16ish and then go to "..." is there anyway to customize this?
Everything I draw is metric. I've got my templates set up and all my paper space scaled appropriately. All dimensions are as they should be. The annoying thing is when I'm drawing a dimension, the tooltip shows inches and not mm. How to change?
I want to add progressive blur to a pic from left to right, I can do so on several layers with masks, and add more and more blur on each one.
I would like a similar effect, but with the wave filter. For example, a straight horizontal line at the left that slowly starts waving in larger and larger amplitudes. (the final idea is a bit more complicated, but I only want to get some initial help so that I can figure out the rest myself). In fact: several other filters from the distort group behave the same way: apply more intense filtering to a next layer, and the beginning/end and curve doesn't fit anymore.
I have created an object (Tube012) that i am trying to use as a rotational control mechanism / rig to move some vertices (morphed spline 012) through a series of progressive morph targets.
i have created morph targets that work as key framed morphs but when i change these to progressive morphs and try to drive with an expression nothing is happening.
The work i am doing is largely based on the great work of Ruramuq and Harvey from the thread "Rigging a wave (3D's Max)" Not sure why. I have file from Ruramuq and have tried to replicate his technique. Everything works well in his file so all i need to do is replicate. The answer is in here but i cant tell what the difference is between his and mine.
I'm having problems with progressive videos that look interlaced after exporting full size.The videos look fine within PP; when the same sequence is exported using You-Tube and Vimeo settings there is no interlacing.
I have recently had my 2007 upgraded to 2010 and I'm finding it annoying that everytime I use the distance command the DYN button turns on and I get too much information on the screen as well as a little box I have to exit everytime. How to keep the DYN button switched off? I'm just happy to have the distance information in the command bar at the bottom.
I have a TON of JPEG pics that are currently in Progressive format but I am using them with an app that requires that they be non-progressive. So I am looking to convert them to a Baseline format. In Photoshop, this conversion is done through the Save As dialog. However, I dont know of a way to create an action to do this without saving the file name in it. I want to keep all the pics the same file name that they are currently (..there are a ton of them already indexed in an XML feed so..).
I require an option or method to convert a large number of jpeg files from a folder to progressive jpegs, with a single save option. Currently I have to save the jpeg file indiviudally for every files as progressive jpeg, Can I know if there is an option to perform this action.
What are the differences, preferences, etc. of saving files (jpgs) with these various methods? The baseline "standard" gives the largest file. Is this preferred?
Does the tooltips on Label Parameters can be modified? I would like to customize the tooltips on label parameters, which currently default to "Edit Parameter"...lame-oh; that tells the user very little. Perhaps the developers could add a customize tooltip control in the Edit Label dialogue box. Can the tooltips be accessed through the database?
I am growing increasinly frustrated. I just installed AutoCAD LT 2013 on my laptop. I managed to get everything customized the way I want, except the button icons on my (classic) toolbar are much too small. If I go into the menu and select 'use large icons', they are too huge. My screen resolution DOES NOT need to be changed or adjusted. I went to the help menu to see what I can do, and found that I can go into CUI and adjust the size of the button icons that way, via the button image editor, however there is no 'button image editor' dialog box when I select any given toolbar command.
Is there a way, when you are drawing a polyline, to have the tooltip box show the cumulative length of the polyline, rather than the length of the current segment being drawn?
Is there a way to put a message box in an ilogic rule that gives information to the user but does not require interation to turn it off. Say on for a few seconds then dissappears?
I've created several (4) ilogic rules and want to run them by pressing a button. So I need a form with 4 start buttons. Can I create this with Ilogic in Inventor 2011 or do I need to be VBA expert?
How to disable F1 button in Autodesk Inventor 2014?
I use ESC many times and it happens too often when i press F1 instead of ESC and then the whole help opens (either from hard drive or it opens my internet browser and loads up a page), its really annoying.
I tried in. "Tools" > "Customize" > "Keyboard" and sorted it with "key" but there is no F1 there.Also i changed category to "help" and to my suprise there is not a single key assigned to any of help command.
Then why still F1 opens help and makes my life harder than its already?
I am new to the ribbon and am having trouble putting more than one button on the same ribbon. I have two addins that both have buttons that need to go on the drawing>Place View tab but I can only see one button. If I put them on different tabs they both appear, what is my problem?
I have came across a couple that require you to use the design tab but I do not have a design tab. I then try and use the add ins button to intall it but when i click on it, nothing happens.
How to create a ribbon with a button. I am creating an add-in for Inventor. I am trying to put this code in the Activate Sub but it's not adding the ribbon once I open a drawing. Just trying to use this example to get me started.
public void AddParallelEnvironment(){ Application oApp = ThisApplication; // Get the Environments collection Environments oEnvironments = oApp.UserInterfaceManager.Environments; // Create a new environment Inventor.Environment oNewEnv = oEnvironments.Add("Some Analysis", "SomeAnalysis", null, null, null); // Get the ribbon associated with the assembly environment [Code] ..........
I made a significant change to an assembly that messed up several constraints. I fixed all the constraints using the red cross button but the local update button is still lit up and won't do anything when I click it.
When i try to use the edit button on the nailboard tab in order to add dimensions to the harness sketch. the environment changes and the harness sketch disappears. This makes it hard to dimension using the harness dimension button.
Secondly, i have modified the harness in the model and then saved the assembly. Why does my nailboard drawing not update after the save. (it recognizes that changes have been made) Deferred update is set to off. The nailboard drawing is useless if the updates are not automatic.
......alright i have 3 questions......i want to show the wire id near the stubs. i displayed properties but only one of 2 wire id's showed up. Has this got something to do with pick order? How can i get INV to display each wire (id) number?
