I'm making a drawing in Inventor and I have several views and details and sections. Throughout making the drawing, I've created and deleted views. Whenever I do this, say the first view I placed was 'L', and then I delete view 'L', and make a new view. Inventor automatically labels this view 'M' instead of 'L', even though I don't have an 'L' view. This has caused me to have big gaps in the lettering of my views. Is there a way to "reset" the lettering so Inventor goes back through and re-letters everything starting from 'A'?
When I import my points (.txt), all of the points go to whatever layer is current. They don't go into their repective layers anymore.
Also, for surface, the surface doesn't even show up now. This is the 1st time with this problem too. I created the surface, assigned the point group and still no contours.
Also, out of curiosity, during the point import stage....what is "assign offset to point identifiers"? does this mean, if points are right on top of each other, it will be automatically offset to read?

My problem is we need to have the lettering on the concave side of the sign. How would I make the flat lettering I have in the elevation shot follow the curve of the sign in the plan view?
I usually do most of my autocad drawing in 2d, I've done a few things in 3d but I'm not that experienced. I say that because I was thinking maybe I could make a 3d model of the flat elevation shot and bend it into radius I need.
in paper space the blue lettering in the wc area shows up, but in paper space they do not, there is no layers turned off or funny colours problems as far as I can see.
I tried putting the blue lettering on to the remtex layer that shows up in paper space and still its the same ?
Is there a way to get sheet number of the base view for the Selected Child view (Mainly for Section. Detail Views). Because the Section views, Detail views (initially they would have created on the same sheet where the parent is, then they moved to different sheets). So we place the parent view sheet number.
I started with a Left side view of a part and created a sectioned view right down the middle so you can see the insides from another view. the part is pretty big so i used a Break to shorten it to fit the page. I also placed a smaller and separate isometric view of the same part and want this view to inherit the same break. How can I do this? If I go into the display options of the iso view, all the cut inheritance options are grayed out and can't be clicked. I've seen this done before, but i'm sure i missed a step somewhere.

I made a drawing, but after using ilogic (ilogic is in drawing,assembly, part) in it, drawing view of a particular part is coming in hidden line, other are shaded as u can see in image.
Drawing view is associative, all edges shown, level of detail is master, view style is Hidden Line Removal with Shaded

I've created a drawing and when I create a detail view, the actual view appears in the drawing but the circle and arrows along with the view identifier are not showing up. It's like the visibility has been turn off. how to turn it back on?

I have made an exploded view and placed it an a drawing. I would like to view inside one of the bodies to show where the exploded internals sit, however when I do a break out of the body the trail lines from the exploded internals also get sectioned. Is there a way to control the sectional properties of a trail line?
After upgrading to Inventor 2014 we notice that the graphics do not work properly, and that the overall performance in drawings and modelling bad compared to 2013. Then we installed SP1 and now drawing views are disappearing, however when we select "shaded" view the view reappears and works perfectly..
I'm doing a label for a new series of battery packs for VamPowerPro.com and their new batteries are going to be called the Platinum series so I want to do the word "platinum" in some type of metallic shiney lettering.
Sometimes when I try to create a detail view of an isometric view in my IDW, the "detail full boundary" option is greyed out? Why would this be? If I try an ortho view it works fine.
Each time when I place a part in base view, have to follow few steps; go through view label, format Text, than choose type option - [Properties-Model] and its property - [Part Number], than placing dimensions. it takes long time and very repetitive, especially, when placing a hundreds of parts and I was wondering if there is an option, to set up view label; [Properties - Model ]& [Part number], as a DEFAULT. So, each time placing a part, in base view it will come up with correct label. Also, overall dimensions, can it be retrieve using parameters of the part?
I have a detail view of a groove on a cylinder. I want to dimension a diameter in which I only see one side, the other side is not in the detail view.
From some posts I see that I should auto insert a centerline then dimension from centerline then choose options "dimension linear".
First when I try to auto insert centerlines it does not insert the centerline for me. Perhaps because my detail is smaller. If I make the field for the detail view larger it makes a centerline, but I dont want to do that. I have tried making a sketch of the other side and the centerline. When I dimension from here I do not have the right click option of dimension linear, instead only arrowhead options.
is it possible to create a detail view of an Iso view which is created with perspective camera? I tried it but it does not seem to let you have the option of selecting the connection line or detail view boundary?
I have a Crop View of a IAM and want/need a Projected View of the Crop View. When I select the Crop View as my base and then select try to create a Projected View, I get the whole IAM.
I guess one could use the Section View and eliminate all the items I don't need for my Base View.

I've got a client who is asking for something I can't figure out how to do. She wants me to create lettering for her logo where the lettering is made of stripes. Not like masking, but imagine that toothpaste aquafresh where you squeeze it out and it's striped. So for example, we need to do an S in a circle and she wants the S to look like it's made of stripes, as if you squeezed toothpaste out of a toothpaste tube which was striped in the shape of a letter S.
I have a png file of the painted aircraft with rivets shown. I want to add registration numbers ( solid color fonts) BUT I want to see the rivets underneath.
When I just use standard Text tool over the background with the rivets, they disappear.
I am trying to hide some lettering on a wall in a psd version of a photo. In spite of hours looking at some semi related tutorials on layers and masking and referring to "Photoshop for dummies" I cannot make it work in practice.
