AutoCAD Inventor :: Promoted Items In A BOM
Nov 9, 2012
I made a revision of a parent Assembly I was working with because some parts were modificed. All the parts I changed are showing up in the BOM fine but all the old parts, roughly 400, are showing up all grouped together in the BOM and I can't split them apart. This is affecting my Parts List when I try and generate the drawing of the Assembly. It shows all the parts under the file name of the assembly and the symbol in the BOM says "Promoted()" when you hover over it.
Is there a way to split these items back up??

verify if this is the intended forward/backward compatibility between C3D 2014 & 2013.
My project was previously using Data Shortcuts in C3D 2013. I opened the reference (not the source) drawing that uses a bunch of Alignments. During the initial drawing upgrade from 2013 into 2014 I get a message for each Alignment that, "{Alignment Name} was modified in a previous version of the software. Changes in the current were overwritten when the data reference was synchronized.". At this point everything seems fine.
The issue I'm having is that when I re-open that upgraded drawing using 2013 all of those same Alignments become promoted. They are no longer referenced!

I've had the prompt in CS6 but the actual document was nearly 3GB. I'm working on a composite and the side indicated at the bottom is 840.5MB, well under the 2GB limit.

I am hoping to link text items between pages and items in the drawing such as elevations?
So, ideally, I would have a front page to my drawing set, and this would have a 'Contents' type table on it, with the title name of each drawing in one column, then the drawing number in the next column. This is the tricky bit, someone must know: If i was to change the name / number of any item in this table, could it change also (linked to) the following items:
Drawing title (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Drawing number (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Elevation call-out (on the plan view)
And possibly:
Excel reference cell
Drawing layout tab title (this might be pushing it!!)
Perhaps this could be done by linking to an external Excel spreadsheet with these titles modified in there? I'm not sure. This would be ideal as typing into excel is a lot easier than the triple click text modify method required currently.
I waste a lot of time renaming and updating sheet names / titles / numbers. Are there standard templates for drawing sets that may have this built in available anywhere that I could try?

i am trying to add some items in the iMate matchlist. But with the code i use below i recieve a runtime '10' error:
This array is fixed or temporarily locked.
Function PlaceiMates()Dim oApp As ApplicationSet oApp = ThisApplicationIf ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType = kPartDocumentObject Then Dim odoc As PartDocument Set odoc = oApp.ActiveEditDocument Dim oInsert As Object Dim oInsertiMate As InsertiMateDefinition Set oInsert = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartEdgeFilter, "Pick Edge for Imate") Set oInsertiMate = odoc.ComponentDefinition.iMateDefinitions.AddInsertiMateDefinition(oInsert, True, "0mm", , "Test") Dim ml(1) As String ml(0) = "pl" oInsertiMate.MatchList = mlEnd IfEnd Function

I have what turns out to be the first parts list in three years where I need to sum the lengths of a couple items together to get a total length for that material in feet.
What do I need to do to get the two lines in the attached screenshot to sum their lengths together? I would be happy to add another column to the list for this, perhaps the "Unit Quantity" column where most everything is set to "Each" but the two lines shown are summed into a length in feet (or anything like that). How can I accomplish this?

I am wondering if there is a way of showing same identical items separately on the BOM. for example, I have 2 nozzles on the ASME Vessel and want to give it two different call-out like 5A and 5B to match with the as me calculation requirement.

How can I look at a plane in custom view like I used to be able to do? I need to rotate a part to its "straight on" view.
This is from within an inventor drawing. You used to be able to select user work planes and origin planes to change the view to.

Is there anyway to reference a form and its specific items in iLogic. For example, say I wanted to change a label on the form when the code ran. How would I do something like this?
Form1.Label1.Value = "SomeString" ?

I am trying to move a component within a part drawing, not an assembly. When I do "move bodies" it wants to move every extrusion within my drawing. If I click move face, then I have to click every face that I want to move (which is time consuming) and then it often times doesn't work? Sometime it works other times it just moves the origin indicator and doesn't move the faces I have selected.

I have an issue where I go to place a parts list and after placing does not show any items. I can go into the BOM and all the parts are shown. However, only columns and rows are displayed in the parts list.

If I have a RectangularPattern how do I suppress individual features in the pattern.
For example I have a single row of holes, and I want to suppress the odd numbered holes.
I've tried this...
CComPtr<FeaturePatternElements> pFeaturePatternElements ;
pRectPatFeat->get_PatternElements (&pFeaturePatternElements) ;
const int ikNumElements = pFeaturePatternElements->GetCount() ;
wprintf (L" this has %d FeaturePatternElements
[Code]....
... but it crashes at the assignment of Suppressed

Is it possible to enable all Items to start at 101 as opposed to 1??
We can change this by simply renumbering each time but can we get Inventor to always start from 101?

A quick way to add a single column to multiple items in the Content Center? The column would be the same across the board, and I really don't want to edit several hundred family tables one at a time if I don't have to.

How do i move rows manually up/down in the part list without having to change the ballon/item number? I dont want to use the "sort by" command either because its either one way or the other and not manually like i want to.

I'm not sure if this has been answered yet but I'm customizing my content center and Im wondering can I change the {B_L} to show feet with inches and fractions
Just like you can in BOM for quanity
"AISC HSS" & " - " & {G_D} & " - " & {B_L}

I want to use iLogic to:
1.Sort an assembly BOM by Part Number.
2. Renumber Items in the BOM as sorted.
3. Sort a drawing Parts list by item number.
The background to my problem is that i have an assembly which is working beautifully turning components on and off (suppressing/activating in LOD reps) as defined by iLogic rules (iLogic is awesome). The problem is whenever a part is turned on/activated again, it shows up at the bottom of the BOM and Parts list out of order (would be nice if parts went back in the list where they came from).

I'm wondering if Autodesk has additional items possibly on their website that we can add to the content center. Or is their entire catalog already included when we install Inventor? I'm looking for ferry cap screws but haven't found them anywhere. I'm thinking I will have to create them myself and add them to the content center. I'm using Inventor Professional 2013.

I have common parts (custom frame member) that I use repeatedly in assemblies that I don't need to show in a parts list. Is there a way to control this so they don't show up in a parts list? Currently I go into the parts list and turn them off before exporting the list.

I've got an existing assembly in which I need to change the matchlist for the imates. I have been able to change the imate names but not the match list.
The only reference I have found creates the iMate in a part. I need to edit an existing iMate in the assembly document for the matchlist.
I have some code below, but it is not complete.
Set MyPart = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(strJobLocalDirectory & strLFVAssyName)
Set oAssyComp = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
'Dim oDoc As Inventor.AssemblyDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oInsertiMate As InsertiMateDefinition
[code]....

When my colleague opens one of my assembly's which has content center items in it his inventor cannot find them and vice versa. I am assuming my content center items are coming from my hard drive and not a server from the same place as him. How do you set it up so both our computers take content items from the same location?

When I create a "Break" in a view, Inventor glitches. The other views, and even the border, title block, and whatever else is in the drawing, will disappear. The other items reappear if I "Zoom All". Is there an update?

I have some hardware in my parts list drawings that has a substitute for each other. So you can use one of either item in the list. Per the ASME guidelines, those two parts share the same item number in the parts list. So my question is there any way to tell those two parts they are substitute from each other and they come into the parts list sharing that same item number. Right now i'm manually changing that item number in the parts list. But if you try to re-order those parts it's a nightmare cause it's still treating that other item as a seperate entity.

I insert Content Center part, for example I have a hexagon bolt. For example I chose the hole diameter but did not take the surface. In this case Inventor pop up the table with possible list of fit bolts.
The question is: How to alter this table by choosing the columns of this table?
For some items it is too big, I wish I can choose only required columns for custom items.
[URL] .....
Columns in this table do not fit for Key, Expression, Property, iProperties filters of Content Center Family Table.

I would like the size of bearing to be included in addition to existing data to the File name, Part number and Browser name like for example the DIN 625 T1 does. I have copied the DIN 625 bearings to the custom library. I have added required info to File Name building and to the Part Number building in the custom library and now my Filename and Part Number are as I like to.
But I cannot find how to force the Browser name to be equal to Part number or File Name? [URL]
