I've a program which saves a inventor drawing to DWF. See code below. Here for I must use inventor 11 to open the file and then save it to DWF.
Is there a way to do the same with apprentice?
Public Sub Make_DWF(strFilenaam As String)
'open document invisible
Set oINVDoc = oINVApp.Documents.Open(strFilenaam, False)
'make DWF
Dim addins As ApplicationAddIns

I'm trying to create a routine that enables the user to change the iProperties on an assembly through Apprentice. I had a sample file that was working last week but when I ran it again I suddenly have a runtime error -2147467259 (80004005). Here is the sample below:
Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long
Private Type OPENFILENAME
lStructSize As Long
hwndOwner As Long
[code]....
I have some C# code that uses Apprentice to print some idw files. I am having issues that some sheets get printed with a big black splotch on them. I have attached a screenshot of one of these files. If I open it in Inventor View 2014 and print it from there, it prints fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a list of possible options for Apprentice with the Open with Options method?
Even if the Apprentice.open call is inside of a Try Catch, it doesn't throw an error when a file is missing references it just goes back to the routine that called it.
Dim oDocOpenOptions As NameValueMapoDocOpenOptions = oApprenticeApp.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMapCall oDocOpenOptions.Add("SkipAllUnresolvedFiles", True)
The documentation says it available in Apprentice but the error message is "Not implemented".

My code is
Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument = inventorApp.ActiveDocument Dim oParameters As Parameters oParameters = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters() Dim oLengthParam, oWidthParam, oHeightParam As Parameter oLengthParam = oParameters.Item("d0") oWidthParam = oParameters.Item("d1") oHeightParam = oParameters.Item("d2") oLengthParam.Expression = TextBox1.Text oWidthParam.Expression = TextBox2.Text oHeightParam.Expression = TextBox3.Text oPartDoc.Update()
how can achieve the same method using ApprenticeServer?
I search a way in a Csharp program to read iproperties without open file in appentrice because it's time consumption. When we right-click on the file in the windows explorer, the iproperties come instantly.

My
objInvDoc = objapprenticeServerApp.Open(strFileName)objInvDoc.DisplayName = strDisplayName
Something odd happens: I have two parts, last saved with exactly the same Inventor-Build (2011 SP1 (Build 150282100, 282)). After changing the display name of these two parts, the debugger shows the correct value for the DisplayName-Attribute. But when I open the files, Inventor displays the correct value for one file, but not for the other. In the corrupted file, the old value is displayed.
I'm trying to Copy an Assembly via the Apprentice Server functionality.
But I don't want to copy all files with the filesave as feature. Some of the files, has to be used again as the source file. For Example Content Center files should not be copied. Or maybe also some specific defined internal standard files.
Is there a possibility to get this work?
In the moment, I got all these files via:
[...] For each Element As Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument In doc.AllReferencedDocuments [...]
maybe it's possible to say something like that:
If Element=ContentCenterDocument then BlaBlaBla
I know, there's an "Inventor.ObjectTypeEnum.kContentCenterObject", but I don't know, how to use it, to check the ApprenticeServerDocument with that.-
I´m trying to access ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents using Apprentice Server but it tells me "Not implemented". Is there any other way to figure out whether a component is derived or not?

When I attempt to save a drawing I have completed, I cannot save!
Can't save, save as or any other variation of save.
This is my issue every time I click save.
I'm doing a spoof image of 'The Apprentice' logo (skyline, two-tone image of Trump etc...) and included in the subtle changes is the replacement of Don's image with that of another guy (my friend Nick - that's who the print is for). I have a full-colour image of Nick, but can anyone tell me what steps in Photoshop 6.0 I can go through to end up with a style similar to that used for Trump? I came close when using the Filter>Artistic>Cutout function, but the resulting look was lacking too many facial features...

I am simply trying to print or save an Inventor .DWG file to a .PDF file via C# - the issue being that the .PDF page size must correspond to the active sheet size in Inventor.
When I try printing to a PDF using:
oPrint.Printer = "Adobe PDF";
oPrint.ScaleMode = PrintScaleModeEnum.kPrintBestFitScale;
oPrint.PaperSize = PaperSizeEnum.kPaperSize11x17;
oPrint.Orientation = PrintOrientationEnum.kLandscapeOrientation;
oPrint.SetSheetRange(1, 1);
oPrint.PrintRange = PrintRangeEnum.kPrintSheetRange;
oPrint.SubmitPrint();
I get a message saying I have to uncheck "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." in the Adobe PDF settings. Is there a way to do this programmatically?
When I export to PDF using:

TranslationContext oContext = instance.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext();
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism;

This works but I cannot set the PDF page size. Again, is there a way to do this programmatically?
I am using Inventor 2010, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, Windows 7, 64 bit.
When I "save copy as" dwg an IDw, I have an error with some ellips.
from IV 2013 to Autocad Mechanical.
Is it solve with IV 2014?
Over the years I have had to occassionally save (export) an Inventor idw into an AutoCAD dwg file. Now, at IV version 2013, does it still not happen correctly. Why doesn't the process export the title block, border, notes, etc. into AutoCAD's paper space and export the model and dimensions into model space all in one step. It's either all paper space or all model space. Then I have to spend time to correct the AutoCAD drawing. Is there a better method to do this that results in a correct AutoCAD drawing in one export step? Maybe a third party software?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that would export the BOM to a *.csv file format.... I used to save the information in exactly the same manor as viewed in Inventor. For some reason, my application is now saving the information all mixed up. If I am in Inventor and export it manually then open the *.csv file the information is exactly as I wanted it. Pragmatically, it jumbles up all of the information.... this is the code I have been using for quite some time.
Public Sub ExportBOM() ConfigurationLocation = "ExportBOM"

I need to convert a idw drawing to PDF and JPG, when save to PDF there are no problems

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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Autodesk Inventor 2013 for the first time. I've installed it but I have no template files when I want to start a new file. I think I may have set up th wrong file locations, "C:UsersPublic1DocumentsAutodeskInventor2013TemplatesStandards.idw was not found" it the message I keep getting.
Where and how should I setup my files, projects and meanings behind what they mean. I am completely lost I think it may be a good idea to start fresh.
I have some problem with converting to PDF from Inventor .idw file. When I use “Save copy as” PDF I get some picture like this
But if I use command "Print" and choose “DragToPDF” or else, picture came out just fine.
Problem is that I have some programming tool where I need to use “Save copy as”
P.S.You can see differences in attachments.
When using the default Standard.idw template, if you place a view of a file called for example 'AB1234.ipt' then save the IDW, it defaults the name of the IDW to AB1234.idw.
Someone has goosed up one of our IDW templates, and this no longer happens. Irrespective of what I change the IDW part number or browser to now, it defaults the save name to Standard.idw.
