AutoCAD Inventor :: PutLineSegmentData Is Not Seemingly Working
May 7, 2012
The second sub (NormalTest) below creates the ClientGraphic and the first sub (NormalTest_MagnitdureChange) attempts to lengthen the associated LineSegment in the Y direction so you must select a face along the XZ plane so the before running the second sub so that the line segment runs only in the Y direction. That said, when I run the first sub its 2 MsgBox display the before and after coordinates which does display the ending points Y coordinate doubled but graphically there's no change. If you run the first sub again you'll get the same results meaning the double length did not take the first time this sub was run even though oLineSegment.EndPoint.Y has changed according to the after MsgBox from the previous executing of the first sub.
Public Sub NormalTest_MagnitudeChange() Dim oPartDocument As PartDocument Dim oFace As Face Dim oClientGraphics As ClientGraphics Dim oSurfaceEvaluator As SurfaceEvaluator Dim adPoint(2) As Double Dim adParams(1) As Double Dim adGuessParams() As Double Dim adMaxDeviations() As Double Dim aoSolutionNatureEnum() As SolutionNatureEnum Dim adNormals(2) As Double Dim oVector_Normal As Vector Dim oLineSegment As LineSegment Dim oPoint_Normal As Point Dim oGraphicsNode_CurveGraphics As GraphicsNode Dim oCurveGraphics As

When I want to edit the annotation scale of an object, the dialog box seems to open, but I cannot see it. I copied my profile from my computer with two monitors, so I suspect that is the problem. I tried Alt + down arrow, then right and left arrows to see if I could find it, but that did not work. CMDDIA is 1.

I found a website which i really like because of its graphic design techniques... And ive got a question about how to kind of simplify images, ive attatched a link to an head logo of the website and im just wondering how the designer has achieved the effect of making the bridge, city and train look almost like a painting ?

Before using the quick selection tool, I am able to smoothly zoom in and out by holding Ctrl+Space and dragging with the mouse.If I use the quick selection tool, however, the marching ants line turns into a strange box. I no longer am able to zoom smoothly but instead with the technique above I draw a rectangle which I zoom into. This indicates to me, that OpenGL has been deactivated. I want my smooth zoom back!
I noticed that the preferences always show OpenGL as active, no matter which of the above "state" I'm in. I tried updating my AMD graphics card's driver without success. I found a post describing similar OpenGL problems on the same graphics card and installed the linked driver; the post was 2 years old, but it worked. Re-installing more recent version (Catalyst-Version 12.6) brought the problem back. Newer versions of the driver seem all to suffer from the same problem.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit,64-bit Photoshop Extended from CS5 Production Premium,AMD Radeon HD 4600 (currrently Catalyst-Version 13.1).
I tried: "Downgrading" the driver (only really old version worked, as mentioned above),reseting Photoshops preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift at start),deactivating OpenGL (reactivating only works after restart and problem reappears) but I miss the smooth zoom.

I am trying to write code to collect standard info from a csv file to be added to iProperties.
Following is the code I have so far.
Dim Separators() As Char = {""c} Words = ThisDoc.Path.Split(Separators) FilName = "C:VaultDesigns" & Words(3) & "Spec_Sheet.csv"
Dim ReadCSV As New System.IO.StreamReader(FilName) Dim WordSets As New ArrayList()
Do While ReadCSV.Peek <> -1 WordSets.Add(ReadCSV.ReadLine.Split(",")) Loop
i = 0 SName = iProperties.Value("Project", "Stock Number")
For Each wrd In WordSets If WordSets.item(i)(0) = SName Then iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = WordSets.item(i)(1) iProperties.Value("Custom", "Finish") = WordSets.item(i)(2) End If i += 1 Next
The only problem I have is that this line crashes. I am not competent enough to understand why.
Dim ReadCSV As New System.IO.StreamReader(FilName)

I have Inventor 2014 SP1 and Autocad 2013 SP2 running with Win 8.,1 and I am trying to import my DWG file into my model in inventor. I have followd the instructions, but the options button in the open file prompt is inactive, and when I select the file to open it, nothing happens. Dwg TrueView is installed and is working. I have also right clicked the Inventor icon on my desktop and selected the run as admin option.

We are trying to make an JPG image from an Inventor Assembly in a ASP.NET webpage after loading parameters in the Inventor Assembly.
Before generating the image using ActiveView.SaveAsBitmap() we call the function ActiveView.Fit(), this all works fine in Visual Studio 2010. The complete Assembly fits in the JPG image.
After deploying it as a ASP.NET application in IIS, ActiveView.Fit() only works the the first time/request. After that we have too kill and start the Inventor process.
So the first time when executing in IIS ActiveView.Fit() works, once Inventor is loaded in memory ActiveView.Fit() doesn't work anymore. For performance reason we want to keep the Inventor process open.
We already tried to pause the process after ActiveView.Fit() bij calling Threading.Thread.Sleep(x). This without the wanted result.

The Edit via spreadsheet option does not work, it will not call up Excel, although it believes that it does. The computer is running Win7 Ultimate sp 1 64, Office Home and Business 2010 sp1 32, Inventor 2012 sp2. The software (windows, office) is up to date, I have done the registry edit that other sites have mentioned.
I will bring up an .ipt, right click on Table, click on Edit via spreadsheet. I will get a circle for a cursor for a moment as if it were processing, then nothing. I right click on it again, and just get the How To option, so it believes Excel is open when it is not.

Sheet Metal Parts > Punch Holes (Contintued).
I picked the ADSK-METRIC-120 to change the hole size from 25 to 120, but the new hole size ADSK-METRIC-120 is RED color and I cannot refresh or finish it. why size 25 worked, but not the 120?
I am using the Autodesk Inventor 2012.

Having problems dimensioning to an apparent intersection in an IDW?
Once I hover over both lines to show the intersect and both line do intersect but it should turn green, it's not, it just keeps yellow.
It is placing the dim in the right place but it's also not drawing in the intersect lines.
It was working last month as I have a drawing to prove it.This is on a few machines.
Also moving dimension is a problem. Sometimes they will not reattach after moving one end.

Trying to create a gimbal with a supporting frame, an outer square frame, and an inner square frame. when i insert the outer square frame into the supporting frame, i constrain it so that the axis of the hole i have drilled in my frame and the axis of the hole through my supporting frame are aligned, i then constrain a face of it to be a set distance from a parralel face of the supporting frame to centralise it. this works ok, and i can rotate this frame as i like. When, however i insert the inner frame and constrain the axes of the holes drilled through it to the axes of the other holes drilled through the outer frame, and two faces to be a set distance apart, it allows me to rotate my inner frame, but no longer allows me to rotate my outer frame! what have i over-constrained?

yesterday when I clicked on "Derive" while in a part file I would get a browse window to select the part I wanted to derive, after this a prompt would come up that asked if you wanted the part to be a surface or a solid, if you wanted to scale it, etc. For some odd reason today when I tried to derive a part it doesnt come up anymore. After I select the part it just gets inserted and to keep it I have to hit enter or right click and select "ok". Not sure why the prompt stopped popping out, havent changed anything.

When I setup my model for the FEA and hit Automatic Contacts, no contacts are detected .... You can see in the image I posted that Automatic Contacts is greyed out (once applied) and no Contacts are in the the Folder. I have ensured that my assembly contraints are valid and that they are indeed mated (face to face) - see image below. The Manual Contacts will work, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the Automatic one. I have never altered any options or settings within the Simulation. I am using INV 2013 Pro. Most of the pieces in my assembly are 2x2x0.125 HSS (right out of CC).

I have previously sketched lines and tangent arcs so I know how it is supposed to work but on this new install of Inventor I am only able to draw line segments. When I try to drag an arc all I get is a line from the previous end point and the new end point. I think it is related to the fact that coincident restraints are not being made automatically as I draw but I have not been able to find where to turn that on.

I recently migrated to the Inventor 2014 release and immediately encountered several issues.
One that I haven't found reported on this site is the problem related with the 3D mouse (3D connexion Space Navigator). I've been working with it beautifully with R2012-2013 but now that I started working on Inventor 2014 it stalls and stops working suddenly. It's so bad that I stopped using the 3D mouse entirely.

I uninstalled and re-installed the latest mouse drivers and checked that it's not the device malfunctioning. I also installed the Inventor update available on Autodesk site. No change...

My ctrl key has stopped working in Inventor.
It works fine in other programs.
Also when I hit F7 in a sketch Inventor does not show the section of the part to my sketch plane.
Also, my memory bar indicator does not work, it just stays all grey.

Noticed Keyboard shortcuts not working from time to time in Inv 2011? It's ultimately frustrating because I cannot figure out what is causing the issue. Some times restarting Inventor or opening the keyboard shortcuts customize window works and sometimes it doesn't. Standard default shortcuts like "ctrl + p" for printing and custom shortcuts I have added both don't function in Inv. but work just fine in other programs.
Another undesired problem is after rebooting our machines the Project file is switched back to default.

I am following the U-Tube exercise called "Emergency Light (Cabinet) volume 1". I am at time stamp 1 hour 26 minutes, exactly.
In the video they use a Loft command in order to cut a shape out of two sketches numbered 10 & 11. I have been copying exactly and am having difficulty at this stage of the model.
Is there any reason why I am managing to use the Loft command earlier perfectly but not at this point.

Issue: Occasionally, and for mysterious reasons, VBA will not work. In fact, if I try to access VBA, Inventor will outright crash. The cause of this seems to stem from the Inventor32bitHost.exe not working correctly for some strange reason. Instead of the normal behavior of opening only one instance when VBA is started, it opens an instance for every part in an assembly or, from what I can tell, a different instance for any module found inside of a document inside of an assembly!
It prevents anything related to VBA from working at all, meaning that I no longer have access to the quick and dirty debugger, nor any macro that was built using it. In addition to that, instead of the normal behavior of the Inventor32bitHost.exe closing out when Inventor closes no longer happens, meaning that I’m left with hundreds of instances just sitting silently in the background. As you would imagine, after a few large assembly openings / closing, this starts to bog things down in a pretty awful way.
Have any of you had this problem before on your machine? If so, did you ever find out what was causing / caused it?
So far I have tried reinstalling / repairing / voodoo / thaumaturgy, all with little success. Yet, sometimes I can restart and it will work for the first few sessions of Inventor, and then all of a sudden relapse back into this behavior.

I am having a problem with editing in place in Inventor 2012. Some parts will edit in place and some won't. Attached are a couple of files I am using which has this problem. I need the other assemblies in place so that I can locate a hole inline with a threaded insert.

When I select "Start Simulation" from the Add-Ins tab, nothing happens. The hourglass comes up for a split second, but nothing launches. We have Simulation 2012 Mechanical installed on the machines. I have tried with both parts & assemblies. Obviously we can launch both applications separately but it's nice to go back and forth using the quick launch.
The machines are both Windows 7 Pro (latest service packs) as well as Inventor & Simulation 2012 (Product Design Suite Premium to be exact.) Inventor has the latest service pack SP1 installed. This did work in previous versions of Inventor.

I am a middle school teacher with a lab of 25 Dell Precision T1600 desktops. I just installed Inventor on all the computers and it works beautifully on 24 of them. On one of them, when you choose the "start" menu, nothing happens. If you click a second time, the area where the menu should be is black and the program stops working. The computers are running Windows 7 and with it working on 24 not sure why it wouldn't work on the 25th.
I have reinstalled 3 times, but nothing seems to work.

I'm writing an input check function (check certain inputs to be positive, or within a certain range). I'm a mechanical engineer with basic coding experience, mostly with basic matlab experience (some c++), so I don't fully understand VB structure, classes, objects, etc.
I'm giving my function a mutlivalue list of the names of parameters, converting to an ArrayList, then using 'For Every Item" in array list If>my condition>then display input box. And I have it working, but probably not the "proper" way, though if it works, it works. My real question is if I can use a multivalue list of parameter names and create a sister MV list that contains the parameter values. Currently I have to hard code a MV list with quotes aorund the names, and one without quotes. I've played around with various ways of using multivalue.set/setlist, val(), CDblAny() and other functions, but always end up with either class mismatches, an MV list with a single evaluated parameter, or an exact duplicate of the original paramter name MV list.
Example of my brute force efforts:

I am using Inventor 2009 professional and I have to run a stress analysis on a beam. I put the constraints and the forces I need and when I hit the calculate button, the results so up, but when I click on the results, nothing appears. I need to run this calculation and do not want to resort to hand calculations.
