AutoCAD Inventor :: Rev Table Column Width Not Updating From Style Library
Sep 29, 2011
I use a style library. Have it in a read-only mode in the ipj file. My drawing created a new template with a rev table with required columns.
Now, I create a new drawing file and choose this template. add few views, insert a rev table. The rev table columns headings are the same as in the template. But the column widths aren't same as in the template.
I use manage->update. It warns me that the drawing would be matched as per the style library. I agree & OK.
No use, the columns are not same size? Though the style is read only from the drawing, I go to open the style editor to check the column widths. They are different from the template.

I made some changes to layers and line scales in our idw template and then saved them to the style library to keep things synchronized. When I started a new drawing I got a style conflict message as if I had not saved the changes to the style library (see attached). My project file is set to Use Style Library =Yes, and what's more strange is that only six of the layers didn't update in the style library while the rest did? These six layers indeed show they need to be updated in the style library when I went back into the template, but when I update them the same thing happens.

I am trying to get DText objects to update width factor when I change the Width Factor of the Text Style. We have one style (Simplex) & I hoped to be able to set the width factor of that style to 0.8 or 1.2 depending on what is required and then just insert objects from the tool palette so they have the correct width factor.
This seems to work for MText but not for DText or Attributes. Short of using lisp is there a to update the width factor of DText & Attributes? (hoping to be able to do this on LT also)
Only way I can see for DText is to qselect text and change style to something else and back to Simplex. Only way for attributes I've found is to advance edit block and change text style to something else and back.

I am trying setup a default part list for my company in Inventor, where I am stuck at is I wish to lock the width of the columns so on all our drawings the part list is the same width, I have assigned each column its own width and when I bring it in to the drawing it's the correct size but I am able to drag the edges, and change its size, I want to lock it so if you try you cant
am I missing something obvious in the menus? Or is this a limitation with inventor.
I am using the latest version of Inventor 2013

When editing the properties for the title block on each sheet of my drawing, I've become rather annoyed with the default column width of the Value column. It always opens to the same width no matter how many times I change it. Every time I edit something in the title block, I have to resize this column to see everything I'm editing.
Any way to change the default width it opens at?

We are using Inventor and Vault pro 2013.
I have an iPart in which I want to change the File Name Column from "Member" to "Part Number". These columns are not the same and makes the filenames for the members different when generated.
The challenge is that I already have about 100 members generated and used in different assemblies. I want these to be replaced by the new files and be deleted.
If I change the File Name Column I will get 100 new files (ipart members) that is not used anywhere. The only way I know of to replace the 100 "old" members is to do this in Vault - one by one..

Is there any way you can use the "Application option" "user name" in a revision table column?
The "APP'D" by "Author" is not very useful considering most changes are done by various people.
If this is not an option could it possibly be added?

updating the source of a custom table in a drawing. I wrote a design copy rule that takes a template "module" and saves all the files off into the customer's project folder. This latest module has an orientation chart that details the location of key features and is displayed on the drawing. We're driving the chart using an external excel file. I can get the reference in the assembly to update with no problem by just telling the driving rule to look for an excel with matching project and assembly numbers in the same folder as the assembly.
However, when I try and update the reference in the drawing, I can get the "3rd Party" link to change, but it doesn't change the actual link in the table. Here's a pic of the tree and my part of the current code. How can I make it update the actual link?
TryDim oSht As Sheet = oDwgDoc.Sheets.Item(1)Dim oChart As CustomTable = oSht.CustomTables.Item(1) MsgBox(oChart.Title)Dim oChartDesc As FileDescriptor = oChart.ReferencedDocumentDescriptorchartDocName = oDwgDoc.ReferencedDocumentDescriptors.Item(1).FullDocumentNameIf chartDocName.Contains("OrientationChart") ThenMsgBox("The dude contains")End If orientChartName = Left(iProperties.Value("Custom", "OldName"),

I created custom library by coping iso read only library. Then edited custom library family table and created extra columns (for custom iproperties) for company purpose BOM. This columns needs to be updated from time to time with new part numbers.
When I update part numbers and hit apply it tells me that published successfully to selected library. Then i go to iproperties of updated parts and this update is not showing up.
I am using inventor 2010 and vault server.

In a simple case I have an extrusion with some attached seals/weather stripping, all implemented as iParts having their own LENGTH parameters.
RailPart.ipt, Seal_A.ipt, Seal_B.ipt
The goal is to encapsulate these IParts within an iAssembly: RailAssy.iam, where a LENGTH parameter can be input when the iAssembly is placed, causing RailPart and Seal_A to have their length parameters set to the LENGTH provided at that time and SEAL_B having Length set by an iLogic rule to LENGTH - 5.
I've been unable to set up a Custom Parameter Column in an iAssembly table. Is this even permitted?

I noticed some errors in certain table entries in an i Feature of mine after I had already started creating parts using it. I've updated the table and when I add new instances of the feature to my part they work fine, but the existing instances of it stay the same size. Is there any way to force the existing instances to update?
The i Feature in question is a sketch and I'm using Inventor 2012, if either of those is relevant.

I have been recently put in charge of all things Autodesk at my company. We have just installed 2014 software on our machines and I'm told that I need to migrate the styles library from 2013 to 2014. Here's the thing though, we have our Inventor templates and design data on a network drive for all to access.
I see where there is a style manager included in the Tools of Inventor but I open it up and I can't make heads or tails of it.

I am looking for assitance with the VB code to change the text style within a custom table when it is created from a VB standalone program. I am using Inventor 2013 and VB 2010 Express.
I have a customtable that is created within a .idw, and I would like to have the data cells set to "Table_Cells" style that I have created. I cannot find anything in the help file with a sample code to build off.
I figure it's got to be something with oCustomTable.DataTextStyle but beyond that I am lost.This is what I have, and VB is kicking it back in my face.
Dim oTextStyle As TextStyleoTextStyle = oCustomTable.DataTextStyle.StyleType("Table_Cells")
Error 2 'Public ReadOnly Property StyleType As Inventor.StyleTypeEnum' has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed.

how to create a new Table Style definition.
I don't want to create a table on a sheet, I want to define a new style and then assign the style to the existing table.
I have no problem assigning the style once it is defined in the drawing to the existing table.
Dim oTableStyle As Inventor.TableStyle oTableStyle = oDrawingDoc.StylesManager.TableStyles("BOM") Dim oTable As Inventor.CustomTable oTable = oSheet.CustomTables.Item(1) oTable.Style = oTableStyle
There doesn't seem to be a TableStyles collection with an add or create event. I stumbled upon the "TableFormat" object but that seems to only override an existing style.
looked at the "StylesManager" but again I am not finding a create method.

Any way to make Acad C3D hold the value for MTEXTCOLUMN = 0? I am having issues with it resetting my column width to 0, even after I have formatted all the Mtext to read how I want it shown. Once I close a drawing and open it again, the formatting changes that I have previously set return to "dynamic" and column width = 0. I just want to turn off the dynamic setting so it stops messing up the formatting, but I can't get it to retain the dynamic setting. Currently running C3D 2012.

I make an idw template at home and at work i get this message that says style library will override the listed styles, and enables me to choose if i want to impose the style library or the styles in the template.
I want to impose the styles in the template and the message says that in order to achieve that i have to delete the styles.
Which styles to delete and how?
When i use the purge styles command it's empty.
I understand that duplicate names of styles make the problem, but at home i checked 2 of the styles and found them the same as at work, but maybe i don't remember all the changes.
Is the solution simply to make new styles with new names?

How do I make a style in the library standard? I made new styles in the library for a revision table and parts list, but when placing them in an IDW I always get the standard tables.
It's not a big deal to change it in the format tab after placement, but when having 50+ sheets/daily its getting annoying.

I am looking at moving from controlling my Styles in template files into a Style Library. So how exactly would I best do this? Create a new Style Library in the Style Library Manager, set it in "Style Library 1" (this makes the new Style Library "active", yes?), open my template files, and under the Manage tab, "Save" the document styles to the new Style Library? Should I then delete my Document Styles from the template?
When you get a new release of Inventor, how do you generally go about pushing your Style Library into the new release? Do you just copy-paste the old Style Library from the old release "Design Data" folder into the new release "Design Data" folder? Do you start a new Style Library in the new release, compare to the old Style Library, and push the old into into the new?

I am trying to turn the style library off in inventor 2012, I can't seem to be able to do this. I know in the past version I simply turned it off in the project editor, but I only have the read-write option now. All my drawing settings are saved to my Template, when i open the template, it changes to the style library settings, which I don't want.how to save my settings to style library this is why I have never used it.
