I'm simply trying to delete the revision table if it exists on a drawing. I did find where you can't do anything with Rev Tags with the API, but what about the Actual Revision Table?
Trying to get this to work;
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")>0Dim oRevTable as RevisionTableoRevTable = ActiveSheet.Sheet.RevisionTable.Item(1) oRevTable = nullRevisionTable
I 'd like to keep the old Revision table rows available , but off the sheet rather than delete all the rows & start from , let's say, Rev 10.Is this possible in 2012?
I have never attempted any i-logic before and this may be running before I can walk, but I was wondering if this premise even sounded do-able. I would like to create a rule to set the last row of my revision table to all static values, and then add a row.
I tried to add a revision table by vba routie. useing fllowing code
Dim oRevStyle As RevisionTableStyle Set oRevStyle = oDoc.StylesManager.RevisionTableStyles.Item("Revision Table_NEW") Dim oRevTable As RevisionTable Set oRevTable = oDoc.ActiveSheet.RevisionTables.Add2(oPoint, , , , , oRevStyle)
It adds revision table is not shown correct in the drawing. I have to manually select certain style in the drawing.
I try doc.update or view.update. it doesnt work.

is it possible to do an individual revision table for multiple sheet drawings. if you typed in description 'sheet 3 nut changed from m3 to m5......etc' then all the bunf would carry over to every sheet
Just created a 2nd drawing sheet in my IDW, and when i place a revision table it is missing most of the data that is shown on sheet 1. All i get are the description column entries, nothing else.
I have a situation where I just created brand new drawing templates and they have the revision block inthem already. The revision block that comes with Inventor. The vault is driving the revision in the titleblock and when the revision is placed in the revision block it too is linked to the vault. When the drawing is checked into the vault and the lifecycle is changed to "Released" and then back to "WIP" the revision updates. Both in the titleblock (which I want) and in the revision block which I don't want. Not only is it change the revision block, but the last revision posted as per the image below.
how do I change the property in the settings of the title block to not get it's revision from the vault or allow it to be manually driven?
is there a way to set the justification to left in the revision table justification? I've tried playing with the formats and I can't get it to do anything but be centred.
I am trying to insert "Depth", "Counterbore", etc. Symbols in a revision table, but can't find ALT + XXXX for them. I did find the symbols in the Windows character map in AIGDT font group and they have Character codes but no ALT + codes? How to insert these symbols in a rev table?
Is there a way to pin or standardize where a revision table is located in a drawing?
I have a title-block set up and would like a revision table either embedded or populated upon command, just above my title-block. It would also need to extend upward with additional revisions...
a customer has a title block with a revision table ( standard vault revision table) add on top of it.
If you change the sheet size the revision table remains his position.
If found the way to reposition the table with a ilogic rule.:
'point afstand in cm PointX=(ActiveSheet.Width/10)-13 PointY=5.5 'punt vanaf rechtonder gemeten in cm
[Code]....
This is working perfectly. But now the challange how to trigger this rule to run if you change the sheet size?
if tried:
trigger=Activesheet.size
or
to create a userparameter and added this line in my rule : Size=ActiveSheet.size, normaly is you change parameters it triggers the rule to rule. but both way didn't work.
Can event triggers from the API be used? Do i need the "Onchange" event? Any example for a ilogic rule?
I have a rule in the .idw drawing template, that displays a dialog box asking for the size (A, B, C, D...). Once the size is selected, it displays the appropriate border and title block. There is a small & large title block, so an A or B size gets the small, and a C or larger gets the large. This works great.
My question is, how can I have the appropriately sized Revision Table (small or large), automatically ready for use, based on the drawing size? The (2) Revision Tables are defined in the Styles library.

I am trying to create some new templates for 2013 and I'm trying to figure a way to get the model revision number to populate into the drawing's iproperty revision number so that they will match upon save. I'm trying to do this by creating an ilogic rule but I don't see a system property in the idw that will allow me to access the 3D model iprops. I am going to Event Trigger the rule to run Before Save. Is this possible?
On the drawing border I have created a formatted text box that is built as:
Type: Properties - Model Property: Revision Number
It simply pulls the data from the models revision number and populates the text box. I need this same thing to happen but rather than populate into a text box I need it to populate into the drawings revision number iprop.
I know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.
ideas on Drawing Revision Table / Record on Title Blocks that they would share?We are re-designing our Title Blocks and I was wondering if there was a different or better way of doing this, besides a static block with attributes.
Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.
Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.
We have, as our standard library default dimension style, a 1/32 fractional style, called "1/32-FRACTION". Various Object Types, like Linear Dimension are set to this Object Style. When I create a drawing, then these Object Defaults are in effect.
This means that, doing nothing while executing a dimension command, I get fractional dimensions by default. This works good.
However, sometimes I want to create a drawing where the default dimension style is "X.XXX-DECIMAL" without changing the Object Defaults found in the style library. I've tried to make the changes from within the style library and then save this as a template. However, when I try to make a drawing based on this template, Inventor states that the styles in the template differ from the styles in the library" and then busily goes about undoing what I careful did.
So I'm hoping there is something in the API I can call on to do this with a macro. Is it possible to write a macro that after you start a drawing, flips all the various Object Styles from "1/32-FRACTION" to "X.XXX-DECIMAL"?
I've used the attached code to set the number of colu9mns and rows in a table adn it works with all my tests.
However I also receive the warnings:
"Public overridable property NumRows() As Integer is obsolete. Use 'Table.Rows.Count' instead"
and
"Public overridable property NumColumns() As Integer is obsolete. Use 'Table.Columns.Count' instead" Dim tb As New Table() tb.NumRows = 6 tb.NumColumns = 3
Both the Rows and Column Count property are Read only.
I've found nearly everything I need to draw my tables, but cannot find how to set the text styles for the Title, Header and Data cells.
There must be a way, but it is hidden under an obscure method or property title which I can't identify or find on the internet or in the Object Browser.
Warning 1 'Public Overridable Sub SetCellType(row As Integer, col As Integer, type As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.TableCellType)' is obsolete: 'Use Cell functionality instead.'
Then i tried:
Tbl.Cells(0, 0).CellType(TableCellType.BlockCell)
result:
Error 1 Property access must assign to the property or use its value.
I need to produce a better standard table for our company, but need to know how it would be possible to display only either the START STAKE VALUE/ STATION or END STAKE VALUE/STATION in the appropriate column. If I can achieve this i would not need to details for straight segments as indicated in the details column.
I have 2 staff members who both have recently had problems with their custom settings from OPTIONS revert to the default settings every time they close out of AutoCad. One is using AutoCAD 2013 on W7 & the other is using AutoCAD 2014 on W8.1.
They have to reset their display, units, osnaps, etc regularly. I suggested creating a profile they can use until we resolve the problem,
We just switched to AutoCAD 2013 and we are trying to figure out the best way to make a note with a leader. So far it seems the best thing to use is the keynote option called TEXT WITH STRAIGHT LEADER. If we just do text, no leader is automatically added. This seems to work except we cannot set the text to a default of arial.
Once the text is entered, it changes to ArchDim instead of the text we created called 'Arial'.
I'm the REVIT person in the office so I'm trying to figure out CAD as I go...hence I need easy instructions that I can try to navigate...
I have just installed my autocad 2013 software. I've set the units to millimeters. But the workspace is still in inches. Even the dimentions are coming in inches. How to set the unit in millimeters?
Is there a way to change the default arc type in AutoCAD 2011? Currently, the ARC command defaults to "Start, End, Radius". I would like it to default to a 3-point arc.
