Looking for a way to add additional properties to the drop-down list in Rename Browser Nodes.
Standard List:
Filename
Part Number
Default
Additional properties would be a concatenation of native inventor properties:
<Part Number>-<Description>
how to create an iLogic rule that automatically renames the browser nodes based on part number. I know that this is a function in Inventor itself. 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.

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 Replies View RelatedIn my part, there was already an existing Engineering note.
I wanted to add another note. I added my new note, but it does not show up in the browser. I can right click on the note note > Display note and both notes are shown in the engineering notebook. When I exit out of the notebook and go back to Inventor, still not there. Here is a short video of what I am seeing.
[URL]. The "Rev B" noteis the original one and Note 2 is the one that I just added.
Now I if I add another note, then all of them will show up in the browser. This is not the first time that I have seen this, but just thought I would bring this up.
This part was just made with a copy design from Vault. What is weird, is that if I go to the part that this was copied from and add the note, it shows up correctly then. Its like something is getting hosed in the copy design process.
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.

Years ago someone at our firm created his own dimension tick block because he didn't like how thin AutoCAD's built-in tick was. I would agree with him, but I've found using our own tick block creates these really odd additional lines along the dimension line when at smaller dimensions -- I have a feeling the lines are inserted for some reason when the dimension text gets too close to the extension lines. In the following image and in the enclosed DWG, you can see what I mean:
At the bottom left is the tick block on its own. Above that a typical dimension, which looks fine. To the right of that you see the additional length added to the dimension line. And then the next 2 just show some more examples: the lines disappear when I go to 3'-2" but reappear at 2'-11" which is what led me to believe it was due to the proximity of the text to the lines.
Above all that I exploded a dimension and moved the components away from each other: there is a line added to the end of the block and that line does not show up at all in the 3'-3" dimension.
how to suppress these and why they are added in only when the text gets close to the linework?
Edit: the picture I originally attached was missing the exploded block -- replaced with a better image here. db
in Lightroom 5.3, I have reached page 239 on creating a large landscape photobook. Now on adding additional pages, Lightroom says "page limit reached - The current output format limits the page count to 240, so additional pages cannot be added". I changed the layout of the book to hard cover image wrap and the paper type to standard. But Lightroom continues to give the same message.
Now my question is, if there is a page limit in Lightroom. On the Blurb homepage the limit for a photobook with this layout with standard paper is 440 pages. I have spent a lots of time in creating 239 pages and I don’t want to restart.

Some parts properties of one project has partially or completely grey in browser.
Nothing special had happened prior to this problem. It happened with some absolutely irregular and not systematic affection as like a fallen and broken ink bottle makes something completely colored and some other stuff just partially and some not.
I mean some parts properties are completely grey and some have just several grey properties while some other are not affected (see video link)
It is a permanent bug and seems it belongs to the part itself since the reloading Inventor and windows and Task Scheduler attempts to fix it - all gray colors stay exactly where they were before and in same irregularity. Opening the affected parts in other project gave the same result as in original one.

I have a form with a multi value selection containing name vaules from an iPart.
I want to make a selection from the field in my form and swap out my iPart in the assembly for my selection.
I thought that something like:
Dim iFactory As String
MulitValue.SetListInComponent ("FileName:1", "Param name", "list of params.......")
Parameter("FileName:1", Param name") = "PK 407" 'could be any thing selected from the list of params..
iFactory=Param name
iPart.ChangeRow("iPart Factory File Name:1", iFactory)
Such that the part would be swaped out for what ever Param name = as a result of user selection.
I get the following error from this: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I am trying to get a list of selected entities and their layers, but I want to capture it from the editor, not a command.
I currently have
Private Sub ed_SelectionAdded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput.SelectionAddedEventArgs) Handles ed.SelectionAdded Try For Each objid As ObjectId In e.AddedObjects.GetObjectIds Using tr As Transaction = ed.Document.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim ent As Entity = tr.GetObject(objid, OpenMode.ForRead) ed.WriteMessage(vbLf & objid.ObjectClass.DxfName & " is on " & ent.Layer) End Using Next Catch ex As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception End Try End Sub
but when select a circle on Layer 1, I get the result below in the command line

If I hover over the circle while it is selected, it also treats it as a selection.

Did I hide them somehow with out realizing it? Where do I go to get them back on my screen again?

However I can not find where the Sheet List Style is stored or edited. Which brings me to the second issue, the HELP in Exchange is bogus. Like MANY of the help entries, it refers to incorrectly named or non existent features and commands. In this case it says to "Select the sheet list in the drawing, right-click, and click Edit Sheet List Table Settings." which would be fine, except there is no option in the right click menu named "Edit Sheet List Table Settings".
Clicking on the Manage tab on the ribbon and selecting style Manager, the selecting Documentation objects, then schedule table styles, yeilds...nothing. How can I edit something that has no options?
Hiding the style manager so that all you get when you click on help is a ding that tells you there is a command open, but does not bring the command window to the fore.
I want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model. I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault. So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings: Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.
I want to know what the best in class practice is? What are others doing? I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.
