AutoCAD Inventor :: Detecting If Component Occurrence Is Virtual Component
Jul 25, 2012II need a way to tell if a component occurence is a virtual component.
I'm using a For Each loop to cycle through all of the components in an assembly, and if the component is itself an assembly to set the LOD to "Custom". I'm using the definition document descriptor object for this. It all woks fine until the loop comes across a virtual component which doesn't have a definition document, so I need a way to check if the component is virtual and needs to be skipped.Here's the
Option ExplicitImports Inventor.LevelOfDetailEnumSub MainiLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueDim doc As AssemblyDocumentDim oLOD As LevelOfDetailRepresentationDim oAsmCompDef As ComponentDefinitionDim oComp As ComponentOccurrenceDim oComps As ComponentOccurrencesdoc = ThisDoc.DocumentIf.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Trigger Place Component Triad For Any Occurrence
Oct 21, 2013I love the new triad function when placing a new part in Inventor 2014: I am now searching to trigger the same function for a part that already has been placed.
Something like:
1) select component
2) press a button (triggers the macro I now want to write)
3) the triad pops up.
I searched true the Inventor Help & what's new in the API. But didn't find any reference to that command. So I am afraid that it is not yet in the API. Could I maybe emulate it by replacing a component with itself using the place component command + emulating a mouseclick at the same origin as the original piece?
So a piece of code like:
1) get filelocation of selected part
2) get the origin point (x,y,z) of the part
3) get the translation between the origin of the assembly and the part
4) delete the selected part
5) place the part using the place component command (so the triad has been triggered)
6) fill in the filelocation, origin & translation
7) give control back to the user so he can move the part using the triad.
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Component Occurrence Definition?
Sep 28, 2012I have a simple code below trying to iterate through all the assembly component and copy the iProperties > Occurrece Name (i.e. "Part1:1") and paste it to iProperties > Project tab > Part Number field for each individual part in assembly.
' set a reference to the assembly component definintion.
' This assumes an assembly document is open.
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition
'Iterate through all of the occurrences
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oOccurrence In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences
Dim oName As String
oName = oOccurrence.Name
iProperties.Value(oOccurrence.Name, "Project", "Part Number") = oName
MessageBox.Show(oOccurrence.Name, "iLogic")
Next
The Debug message shows the correct output for every iteration, but when I check each part's properties they all have the Occurrence Name of the last part in the aseembly.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace File And Modify Occurrence Name
Sep 10, 2012I need to rename and replace occurences in an assembly, then modify the occurence name.I rename and replace only Farme generator components, which is tested by <condiftion>.What I want to do :
- Num = ABC
- Original filename = toto.ipt
- New filename = ABC_toto.ipt, and Occurence name = ABC_toto
The code :
fileDir contain the file path
docFName contain the original file name (for example, toto.ipt)
Num contain the prefix to add to the name and the occurence name (for example, ABC)
If <condition>Then
New_name = fileDir & Num & "_" & docFName
Call oFileNameOcc.SaveAs(New_name, True)
Call oOccurrence.Replace(New_name, False)
oOccurrence.name = Num & "_" & oOccurrence.name
End If
The problem is, the first time I use the macro, the prefix is added twice in the occurence name (the filename is ok) : I obtain ABC_ABC_toto. This happen only the first time, and only on an orrignal Frame Generator assembly.
If I use the macro again, with for example Num = 123, the result is : 123_ABC_ABC_toto.Where is the problem ?

Dec 19, 2013I have an assembly with two similar items in it and have written code to replace the component based on a given selection. If I try to change item one, nothing happens. If I change items two, it changes both item two as well as item one. In the attached screenshot item one should have a full cover panel and item two should be open; however, they are both the same. I have stabilized the browser by changing the names to "Leg One:1" and Leg Two:1) and the components that are being replaced are standard assemblies to be replaces with other standard assemblies.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Constraint Errors After Performing Replace Component?
Aug 27, 2012We have just upgraded to inventor 2012 from 2009. I had a simple .ipt created from a 3/8" grade 50 sheetmetal template in an assembly, and decided that it could be 1/4" grade 50. I originally went into the original part and changed the sheet metal default to 1/4". After returning to my assemble and performing a refresh it blew away all my constraints I had on the .ipt after the thickness change. I also tried doing a save as on the ipt then changing the thickness as a new part number and performing a replace component with the same results to my constraints. I've also noticed issues losing constraints by performing simple replace component commands on similar sizes of TS but just changing length. Has something happened to our templates during the migration to the new version of inventor? I don't remember ever having this many issues in 2009 when replacing components of similar geometry with just a different length or thickness.

Jan 5, 2014So I have been going round and round in circles on this one iam trying to use replace component within ilogic which is fine with switching one part for another but I want a drop down of parts so it replaces which ever one is active the problem I am having is establishing which one is active. So below is what I have so far but the problem is you cant seem to reference a part that is not in the assembly so I keep getting the error
The component named "Flange 1" was not found for example. I just need a way of establishing which one is currently in the assembly but with out referencing components that are not there.
If Component.IsActive("Flange 1")=True Then current = 1
If Component.IsActive("Flange 2")=True Then current = 2
If Component.IsActive("Flange 3")=True Then current = 3
If part = 1 And current = 2 Then Component.Replace("flange 2", "Flange 1.ipt", True) End If
If part = 1 And current = 3 Then Component.Replace("flange 3", "Flange 1.ipt", True) End If
If part = 2 And current = 1 Then Component.Replace("flange 1", "Flange 2.ipt", True) End If
If part = 2 And current = 3 Then Component.Replace("flange 3", "Flange 2.ipt", True) End If
If part = 3 And current = 1 Then Component.Replace("flange 1", "Flange 3.ipt", True) End If

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Transform Occurrence To Match Another Occurrence's UCS
Aug 9, 2012Basically I want to place parts and have them automatically connect to each other based on pre-existing UCSs on the assemblies. I have a 'ucs_in' and a 'ucs_out' on each assembly. I want the inserted component to perform a transformation to make the new occurrence's ucs_in to "mate" to the previous occurrences ucs_out. By mate I mean their center points are at the same location and all axes are pointing in the same direction. I have included screenshots to show what I'm working with and what I am trying to accomplish. I have also attached the project files.
Below is my attempt at the code to do this. My experience with transformations is limited so I may be way off from where I need to be.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View With Occurrence
Aug 21, 2013I am working on some codes that let me make some change on visibility of occurrence. So I am I main assembly, and 3 occurrences of the same sub-assembly. The sub assembly was saved on a design view named hole that is hiding some occurrences.
if I work with one of those sub assembly (checkOcc as component occurrence)and then I try this:
Debug.Print("Occurence name: " + CheckOcc.Name)
Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
CheckOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default")
Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
The first time I check for the name, the result is empty, but is should hole as it's what I can see in the browser. then I change it to default.The result of that, the representation views disappear from the browser for that occurrence and still, the name is return as empty...then I carry on with turning on the hidden occurrences.
objCol.Add(checkocc)
dv.SetVisibilityOfOccurrences(objCol, visibility)
The result, all the hidden occurrence appear ALSO on the other subassemblies... It look that it's affecting all the Designview of all occurrence of that name...then, if I try the reverse, by turning it off... the switch off on the other occurrences but not the one that is checkoff!!
AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Drawing Curves From Occurrence (C#)
Dec 26, 2012In a drawing I'm looking for components that have a certain iProperty. If they have the iProperty, I want to turn every occurrence of that item red.
I can get the occurrences fine, but I'm unable to properly get the drawing curves so I can turn them red. I'm using code from this post on ModTheMachine: [URL]........
Here's my
private static void ProcessAssemblyColor(DrawingDocument aDoc, ComponentOccurrences occurrences){ foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in occurrences) { if (occ.DefinitionDocumentType == DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject) { TransientObjects transObjects = StandardAddInServer._mInventorApplication.TransientObjects; LayersEnumerator layers = aDoc.StylesManager.Layers; Layer colorLayer = layers[1]; colorLayer.Color = transObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0); //red [code]........
I've seen some things say I need to use an out object to use DrawingCurves. If that's true, I'm not sure what to put for the first variable.
object outObject;DrawingCurvesEnumerator drawingCurves = drawView.DrawingCurves[occ.CreateGeometryProxy(whatgoeshere?, out outObject)];
AutoCAD Inventor :: Occurrence - Specific BOM Properties
Apr 30, 2013Is it possible to set BOM properties for a specific occurrence of a component, rather than have universal properties for every occurrence of that component in every assembly?
Two instances come to mind:
1. I have two identical occurrences of a part in an assembly. One is already existing at the site, the other we are providing. I want one to show up in the BOM, and not the other. I don't want to have multiple part files to keep up with, as they are identical.
2. Similarly, I have a part that shows up in two assemblies; in one assembly it is existing, in the other it is new. I want it to show up in the BOM for the second assembly, but in the first I want it to be "phantom" or "reference".
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Skip Saving A Suppressed Component / Delete Suppressed Component
Aug 30, 2012I have an assembly which has a few components suppressed.
My end results is another copy of the assembly (with copies of the all the parts) in another directory
Now i am able to create copies of un-suppressed parts using; (this allows me to SaveAs assembly components which are not suppressed)
DocumentsEnumerator = ThisDoc.Document.AllReferencedDocuments
And save a copy of the assembly using
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs
I also added the fllowing snippet (which I am not sure what is does), but it does not work for me
Component.SkipDocumentSave = true
When I open the newly created assembly, I still see the suppressed components in the model browser
I want to either;
Skip saving the of the components in the model browser (i.e. the Assembly)
OR
Delete the suppressed parts in the Assembly, so that they do not save altogether
