WHAT WERE they thinking when they created the Rename Browser Command. We had someone find out about it and really screw up a bunch of top level assy's. I'm having to WASTE WAY TOO much time fixing them, bringing them back to showing the modified descriptions in the Browser.
View 5 RepliesI am attempting to rename a browser node. Here is the code I'm using and I'm getting a "Property 'Label' is 'ReadOnly'" error. In the API I found a note about using SetLabel() but that seems to only have ones for ClientMade browser nodes.
oSubAssyNode.BrowserNodeDefinition.Label = "XXX"
is it possible to rename the browser node on part level with an iLogic rule? I know that in the assembly environment is an Inventor OOTB functionality to rename the nodes to the filename, Part number or the default value.

I am trying to use the Browsernode.addchild method to add an occurence to an empty browser folder. The code fails at this point and I gett an error pointing to the line "Call oTargetNode.AddChild(oSourceNodeDef)". I can add the occurence with the browserpanes.Reorder method without issue if the folder is not empty. The code is pasted Below.

line of Inventor 2013 iLogic that can change the browser node name of an IDW?
Specifically, I'm only interested in changing this:
I know how it's set by default, but someone has managed to fix their template so it only ever shows "A3 template" in this field. consequently, this problem now persists throughout hundreds of drawings. If I can fix it with a line of iLogic, then the wickedly awesome CodeInjector can be used for fixing all the drawings.
Is it possible to make iLogic rule to do this:In dwg Place part and in Browser to see part name without extra typing. Not Sheet 1 sheet 2 etc.

The problem is that there is no built-in functionality to automatically change the default browser name to something besides part number. I've done a lot of digging and I came across the following code from an old thread discussing Inventor 2011. I am interested in 2013. It is also worth noting that when I run this code, my Inventor crashes.

Is there a way to rename browser nodes within a part in a similar way that the rename browser nodes tool works in assemblies? I am copying designs with derived parts, after copying the design I can see that the part files contain the correct links to other parts when I open the base component but they display as the old name in the browser which is not ideal.

How can you edit the name of a block without using the rename command.
What if your drawing has over fifty blocks, and your chasing the renaming of just one block?
Would this be a script type solution.. ?

I am new to FG results seem reasonable just can't get past this error. I tried deleting the member and inserting a new one in its place. The error then goes to another node?
The application is a steel box frame being lifted by a crane, FWIW. when you create special parts for FG and post them from Iparts, where do they go? I need to go back in and alter some properties.

We are trying to relate to the floor how many pieces of HW should go in partiular places.
The balloon with HW count, unfortunately, gives only overall quantity which is less then useful.
I describe my problem in the graphics area attached.
Should be easy, I guess, but, so far, wecould not figure out the best way of dealing with it rather than we are using now.

I'm using Inventor 2013.
I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct code for some automated ilogic in inventor 2011.
I am trying to achieve an automated rename and save process for an assembly file as well as the variable parts in the file.an example would be a steel column...
Open ilogic steel column, run rules to change column length and section size...then save a copy to workspace, but also to a specific folder in the workspace..also rename the column file and save.
i have this for file saving -
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Test=InputBox("Add File name", "Please Add your file name", "Prefix number - File - .iam")
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.WorkspacePath()&Test, True)
Which works fine to save the new assembly, but i need the same for the variable column within the assembly, and also to save to a specific folder not just the workspace top level.
I wanted to rename one of the default layer, "Visible," to "CUT" since that's what our plasma cutter looks for.
However, I created a copy of Visible named CUT. Now when I open a new drawing, I get the usual, "The following definitions in template Blah differ from the definitions in the style library..."
I know I could update each template, but I'd rather just delete the copied layer in the styles library. However, I don't see how. Any tips on removing my extra layer with out starting from scratch? Or how to rename a default layer?

I have lets say 100 parts with prefix 1012.

I can open them as wanted in Inventor (1 .IAM and .IPT files), problem is I can't edit .IPT names. I can only rename them in Windows, but I would like to rename in Inventor before saving for the first time.
I would like to have something like that, with "Assembly" the assembly name:
Assembly.IAM
Assembly_1.IPT
Assembly_2.IPT
Assembly_3.IPT

How can I do that without renaming in Windows?

Before we started using Vault we had to define the filename and include the description in the filename to be able to find and resuse the part. The filename was combined with article no and description. We would now the filename to be only the article no.
Example:
100056 - Bolt hexagon head M5x16 A4 DIN933.ipt
should have filename:
100056.ipt
