AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Save Run Macro To Automatically Run Macro

Dec 30, 2012

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.

Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?

1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.

2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Save All Changes Via Macro

Nov 11, 2010

We want to change iassemblies in a table using macro. When we change an iassemblies, inventor asks "Do you want to save changes to ......?". There are many iassemblies in our model, so it takes serious amount of time. We can disable all messages using macro, But this time after macro completion, there may be some errors in model, because we dont accept all changes. How can we accept all changes while running macro?

We use SilentOperation property. but in Save dialog, there are some parts indicated "yes" and some indicated "no". how can we change them "yes" and save all dependents?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto Run Macro On Pressing SAVE Or NEW

Jul 16, 2013

I have created an "addin" to monitor the "SAVE" & "NEW" button press on Inventor.What is the possibility of AutoDesk including this feature to the next release, or better still, creating a "patch" so that inventor can be upgraded to do it automatically, without the need to write an "addin"?

For Example,

If the user presses the "SAVE" button, AutoDesk Inventor would automatically look to see if a macro called "OnSave" exists. If it does, it "runs" the macro, if it does not exist, it works exactly as Inventor does now. This also would work in a similar way when pressing the "NEW" button.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Rule To Re-run / Loop Through When Retry Button Is Pressed

Apr 16, 2013

I am trying to setup some rules to print various PDF files which we have managed to do without any problems.

The bit I am stuck on is when one of the PDF files being saved is open by another user.

We have been able to error trap it when it is open by showing a message box on error asking them to close the file befopre continuing.  The current message box being used is the Retry / Cancel box.

When the user clicks Retry we would like it to re-run the rule, or loops through the rule and check is the file is still open.  If the file is open return the same error, and if the file has been closed save the PDF file.  When Cancel is pressed it ends the rule (This Bit has been done).

My questions is how do I get the rule to re-run / loop through when the retry button is pressed.

Is it also possible to show the user who has the file open (or Previewing it in a Window Explorer)?

I have attached the Code currently Being used but I can post it here of preferred?

How do I detect wich button the user pressed in the iLogic-form?

I can show it like this:

 I guess that result is of type FormReturnValue - but I can't guess the qualifier (FormReturnValue.OK / FormReturnValue.OkBtn / ?)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Some Standard Pressed Sheet Metal Parts

Mar 7, 2013

Another iLogic question for you all.

I would like a simple rule adding to some standard pressed sheet metal parts that we have. The code would look at the current model tree and if any features are added to the part then a character (lets say a *) is placed into the "Vendor" field within the iProperties. 

Is this possible?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Save Files For 2012 In 2013?

Apr 24, 2012

Can you save files for 2012 in 2013?  I have the ability to upgrade to 2013 while others at my company are not able to, since they were not put on the subscription service.  If I upgrade will they still be able to open my files or can I back save to a previous version?  I know I can save it as different file type, like .iges or .step, then use feature recognition.  But I need them to have full editability to sketches and features.

AutoCAD Inventor :: DXF Translator Macro

May 24, 2013

When I am done with a drawing (inventor .dwg), I manually go to "Save Copy As" and select DXF, and using my default options, save the drawing as a DXF on a server (OUTSIDE of vault) that our shop guys can access for CNC stuff. I understand there is a DXF Translator that I may be able to set to do this for me. How to use Inventor add-ins (my translator is loaded, thats as far as I got) or set them as macros. A button on the ribbon to export to DXF would be nice and I may also want to automate this further and have it do it on file save.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dropdown In Macro Menu

We just updated to 2013 this morning, and my macro isn't in the drop down (All Application Projects and Active Documents) menu like they were in 2012.

I haven't been able to find it when searching either.  I created a test macro, and it showed up: C:Userscad1AppDataLocalTempUserProject1.ivb

But still is not in the dropdown in the macro menu.  I'm using the same project that I had in 2012.Did installing 2013 remove/write over my maco? I imported my preferences this morning, they seem to be fine.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting Events Macro To Add-In

May 22, 2008

I have obtained a very useful macro from another discussion thread, [URL]....... It automatically names the frame members inserted by Frame Generator. I have modified the macro for our internal naming conventions, but the basic functionality is the same. I would like it to load automatically whenever I am in Inventor and believe an Add-In is the way to go. I have followed Brian Ekins "Taking the Step from VBA to Inventor Add-Ins" paper, but I think I am missing huge chunks on how Add-ins handle events and have been unsuccessful in finding any help topics. How to handle events in an add-in.
