AutoCAD Inventor :: Retaining Title Block Prompted Entries When Changing Title Blocks
Apr 26, 2013
The title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.
I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.

When creating a title block I use iProperties and Prompted entry.
Now I want to place all entries and properties in a form so that I have everything together.
With the iProperties it works because you can select the iproperties when you create the form but I can not select the prompted entry to place in the form
Is there a way to select the prompted entry to place in the form?

First, it requires there to be a prompted entry text box in the title block named <SCALE>, is there any way to write to a textbox that is not prompted entry? The prompt when a new drawing or sheet is created is misleading and makes users think they need to manually fill out the prompt. Secondly, this code works on multi-sheet drawings but it concludes by making the last sheet active. Since we are triggering this rule before save it's a nuisance to have the drawing switch sheets everytime you do a save. Ideally, the current active sheet should remain active when the rule runs. Here is the
For Each oSheet In ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Sheets
ActiveSheet=ThisDrawing.Sheet(oSheet.Name)
If oSheet.TitleBlock Is Nothing Or oSheet.DrawingViews.count=0 Then Exit Sub
oTitleBlock=oSheet.TitleBlock
oTextBoxes=oTitleBlock.Definition.Sketch.TextBoxes
[code]....

I'm trying to insert our company logo (a DXF file) into the a title block definition however the insertion point seems to default to 0,0.How can I insert it with a user defined insertion point?
You will see from the attached screen snipe what I mean about being forced to insert it at the 0,0, coordinates. I'd like to insert it into clear space then scale it and move it into replace the existing logo.

Standard sheet number option gives you only 1, 2 and so on.
I want A1 where A does not change and 1 changes depending on sheet number.

Been working with Auto Cad for a while, but using the same tittle block that was created by someone else.
The tittle block seems to be made up of some text lines (which is the area I want to modify), but tied to several 'attributes' below the text, project, drawing number etc.
The only way I can access the text is to 'explode' the whole area (block?), I can then modify the text, but in doing so the several attributes function individually, and not as a whole block.
How do I 'un-explode' the area?

I have a Revit project with two different types of title blocks - one for Planning Board Submissions and one for Construction Documents. Is there a way of changing the title block family for a sheet from one family to another? I cannot seem to be able to do this without deleting the sheet and re-creating it with the new title block family.
I cannot just edit the family and reload it because, like I said, I need to maintain certain information on some sheets and different information on others.

I am trying to create a template and want all of the revision material to show on all the sheets but the prompted entry that I have put into the template makes me re-enter it every time I change sheets. Is there any way to have it flow through onto all of the sheets instead of having to re-enter all the information.

I'm trying to unskillfully crash my way through writing a VBA program for modifying Inventor drawing border info, and have managed through cannibalizing other programs to achieve 95% of what I wanted (ie the iproperties part).
Prompted Entries via VBA..I'd like to create a sync 'Prompted Entries' from sheet 1, across all sheets button.
The 4 prompted entry fields are always..I'd love some VBA code that could read the above 4 Prompted Entry values from Sheet:1 and then sync these values across multiple drawing sheets within one .idw file if more than one sheet was present.

I use prompted entries in the title blocks in some sheets in my drawings. I then use iLogic to fill in the prompted entries. Is there a way to turn off the prompted entries box when I create a new sheet?
Is there something other than a prompted entry that is not linked to a file (drawing, part, or assembly) that can be placed in a title block and filled in with iLogic?

Any way to get a scale bar/title block text to reflect plotting at half size?
We use the common (24x36) sheet size for all projects, but when plotting we send out half size (12x18) as well. This means the scale bar reading 1"=40' is no longer correct. It should read 1"=20'. I would like to automate this.

Right now I'm copying it from one file to the other... but I'm sure there is some other way. Are title blocks saved anywhere other than embebed in the file? Autodesk Product Design Suite 2012 Ultimate Autodesk Developer Network [URL]

I need to insert two different (separate) title blocks into my idw drawings so both show on the drawing. One is the real Title block, and one is a Revision History block. I have listed them as Title blocks under Drawing Resources, but Inventor won't allow me to insert both. Is there any way round this?
I do not want the Revision History block as a Symbol.

Have more than one drawing template? (we use A and B size sheets)
My questions concerns, metric vs imperial A vs B vs C etc etc drawing sheet size title block does not scale down accordingly when change sheet size within an existing drawing template.
Is it possible to have one drawing template that can be toggle imperial vs metric, and then sheet size selected and then the title block scaled down or up accordingly? (I would assume this could be done using iLogic)
Or is it normal to have different drawing templates for sizes and units?

Im trying to make a small tool that i can share with other users that allows at the click of a button, a form to give options for titles & borders. Im pretty good with VBA but new to Inventor objects. The tool itself will change all of the borders & title blocks in multiple sheets to the selects ones on the form in one go.
I have the code set up to loop through the sheets and delete / replace all borders & title blocks and this works great. Im trying to find how i can loop through the borders & title blocks so that i can get them into a combo box for each. I cant find anything about this on the internet.

I can't for some reason get this rule to work, simply want to be able to choose what title block to use.
I created a text parameter with the multi-values: TES ELE and TES EQU
I have 2 title blocks in my template called TES ELE and TES EQU
Here is my code, basically, I want to rule to apply the title block based on the selection, which will be done on a form.
If Title = "TES ELE" ThenActiveSheet.TitleBlock = "TES ELE"ElseIf Title = "TES EQU" ThenActiveSheet.TitleBlock = "TES EQU"End IfInventorVb.DocumentUpdate()ThisApplication.ActiveView.Fit
I have found many threads in this forum and have used their solutions for this rule, but for some reason, my rule will not select the title block and place it in the drawing.
Here is a snap of my set-up and my template file is attached

I have done a new Title Block in our drawing templates.
It only works in New drawings if I open an old drawing I must "Copy/paste" the new Title Block into the browser to the left But I want all our old drawings to use the new Title Block.
Is there a way to have the new Title as default on all old drawings?

I am trying to replace the title block of the first sheet of the active drawing via C#. I currently am receiving the following error on the last line of The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)).
Why the code below is throwing this error? I have tried multiple variations of the code below to no avail and I'm sure this is something minor that I am overlooking. The title block definition under Drawing Resources is replaced with no errors, the title block on Sheet 1 is deleted just fine, but I can't seem to add a Title Block back in!
How Documents are defined:
Inventor._DrawingDocument oDoc = getDoc();Inventor.DrawingDocument sourceDoc =(Drawing Document) instance.Documents. OpenWith Options(sPath, options, false); Find, copy, replace: TitleBlockDefinition tBlock = sourceDoc.TitleBlockDefinitions[blockList.SelectedItem.ToString()]; TitleBlockDefinition newBlock = tBlock.CopyTo(oDoc, true); oDoc.Sheets[1].TitleBlock.Delete(); oDoc.Sheets[1].AddTitleBlock(newBlock);

Malfunctioning Title Block Macro in Inventor 2014? The script is attached. I think there is a problem with datums. I have switched to a new computer and installed Inventor 2014 on it. The macro worked with my old computer and Inventor 2013. This is a .ivb-file, not a .txt-file. Please change that before you test it.

I have a cutom title block that automaticly places material, status, stock number etc. of the component in the drawing sheet, but I am stumped as to placing the quantity automatically. I have defaulted to using a prompted entry, but that is prone to errors.
