I was able to use Inventor "Save Copy As" function to create zgl files. When the zgl files were viewed with "Imagination View" program, some files looked good, while some others do not show any geometry (just white background). Do I need to change anything in the Model before executing "Save Copy As" function?
View 3 RepliesI am having a problem with Save AS Copy To DXF.
When I try the 'Save copy as' DXF route it does not function. If I click the save button nothing happens and if I click the option button nothing happens either. In 2012 when you click the options button you would have got the option to change the export settings i.e. all sheets etc...
I do have the option to change the file formats via the drop down box in the 'save copy as' dialogue box and dxf etc are listed!
When I right click on the flat pattern in 'Model' there is no button for 'Export' in the list that appears. Therefore I cannot get to the Flat pattern dxf export options prompt as shown in this thread.
Its obvious you should be able to save as a dxf from an inventor idw as the buttons are there they are just not working!
I am having this problem with Autodesk Design Suite Premium. Inventor 2014 will not give me options, and is having problem exporting to autocad dwg. tried a reinstall as it appears to wotk properly on other similar installed machines.
I have re-installed APDS Ultimate 2013 onto a new computer and am having some issues setting up my styles and etc...for the most part I have been working on it as I go with no issues...but I can't remember how I set up my export to dxf settings before. I think I just used the default settings, I exported to dxf from the idw environment by saving copy as and selecting dxf from drop down menu and selecting something like AutoCAD 2004. This has worked before and still does now, but the problem is the dxf's that are exported are huge. The drawing is of a single tiny part with basic geometry. The picture below shows the size difference between the files.
how I can make it a normal size, I don't really care about the size of the dxf except for the fact that I can't email it because we have a limit of 10MB.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

When i save a copy to create a PDF, the dialog box does not appear.
Yet, the other screen functions are grayed out.
I must hit "return", at which point a PDF is created -- but i have no control over the parameters.
It's as if the dialog box is somewhere off my screen, but I can't access it.
When I "save copy as" dwg an IDw, I have an error with some ellips.

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.
I have a user who no longer has a pdf option when "saving copy as" in Inventor 2010. He sees a few other options but not pdf. I will get him to perform a fix and reboot?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to Save Copy As:
1) When setting file type to AutoCAD dwg or dxf, Inventor has to "think" for about 30 - 45 seconds (i.e. the hourglass cursor shows up).
2) I press 'Options and Inventor "thinks" for about 30-45 seconds, but nothing happens, no DXF export wizard pops up, so I can't change any export settings..
3) If I press save anyway, I get an error message: "problems encountered while saving the document" I have tried repairing, reinstalling, and uninstalling inventor but each option fails.
When I save as DXF, I have to manually go into options on the save tab and click "default DXF configuration," otherwise it exports the file as a ZIP folder. I can't figure out how to save the configuration so I dont have to manually do that everytime, im sure it something simple, as it usually is..

Which is the best method to use, copy design or save as?
I used to be able to save my .idw files as an autocad .dwg, then be able to open and edit them in autocard. Now it seems that I can only save as inventor dwg and I am unable to edit the drawing in autocad.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having an ongoing problem with Lightroom 3.6. Once I have loaded the photos into Lightroom and decide to save a copy of the raw files for security, the files in Lightroom are "Lost" and I have to delete them all out of Lightroom and from the harddrive where they still are and reimport from the external harddrive. I am sure this is not normal. I would like to backup my photos especially while travelling but have resorted to "risking" it because of this issue. It happened once and I thought I must have done something daft but I was recently travelling again and exactly the same issue reacurred. I was travelling with a professional photographer who uses Lightroom all the time and he did not understand what was going on - he had never had the problem. The only difference was that I use a PC and he uses APPLE. I am very anxious to address this problem because I think I am tempting fate not backing up my photos. I am using a DELL XPS L502X Direct Base 15 laptop with i7; 8GB dual-channel; 750 GB 7200RPM hard drive and is less than 12 months old and I am using Lightroom 3.6 64 bit.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Inventor 2014. With Inventor 2013, I was able to do a Save Copy As on an IDW file to save it as either a DXF file or AutoCAD DWG file without any issues. In Inventor 2014, doing this produces the following dialog boxes in succession:
No DXF or DWG is produced. I tried doing this to a new, blank drawing from one of the default IDW templates and I get the same result. What can I do to fix this?
I have a part (partA) and a drawing of it (drawingA).I want to save a copy of both (partB and drawingB) and make changes to partB and drawingB will update.
To do this do I save a copy of partA first to partB and then in drawingA replace part to partB and then save a copy of drawing to drawingB
It has to do with iparts and iassemblies and “save copy as”. My concern is that during the concept stage an engineer may be working on a design and will create an ipart, as many of our designs have multiple versions. They now want to keep a copy of that ipart, and try something new so they “save copy as” and create a new file. The new ipart members all have the name reference to the first design. Does renaming those members redirect the path to the new ipart, or should we avoid designing like this all together?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly that I am working on that will be used as a configurator, driven by I-logic. Everything is work fine but there is one part off the assembly that will be custom to each new assembly. Is there a way to use I logic to open the ipt file save it as copy with different name and replace the original in the assembly. I know this can be done manual through the productivity tab within the assembly environment, but I am trying to automate the process so the end user will just have to follow prompts that will be given by i-logic.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy question is simply how do I change the default Save As Copy save type that Photoshop inflicts on you whenever you go to save files as .bmp, .png, etc. files?
I produce allot of images by first saving the original scan or photo as a .psd, manipulating the image, then saving as .jpg or .png for display purposes so having to delete the "copy" from my file names during a long work session gets very annoying.
I have already searched through the Preferences, checked registry file associations, studied the Preferences in Adobe Bridge + the only way I can see to fix this at the moment involves using a disassembler.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAn application that will let me choose a group of Drawing files (.idw) and perform "Save Copy As" to a PDF format on them. The Filename of each Drawing should be extracted from a custom Parameter I embeded in the IDW file.
I know I can use the Task Manager with a virtual PDF Printer to create these files, but then the PDF Filename will equal the IDW Filename, and I want it to be derived from the custom parameter I prepared inside the drawings.
When using save copy as to make an identical part with a different number, the file name in the top and the browser doesn't update to the new filenumber. only in the bottom file tabs is the name correct. if I go to file> save as I can also see the new filename. This is a hassle when doing this to multiple files in an assembly, as it makes it hard to keep track of which parts have been given a new name. It seems the filename input in the browser is only written once, and that is when the first file was saved for the first time.

My old code error out when debugging. The exact error is on this code line:
DWGAddIn.SaveCopyAs(oDocument, oContext, oOptions, oDataMedium)
Autodesk has agreed that this code does not work on Inventor 2012 and that the development is working on it. This code is part of the Snippets built in Inventor iLogic Rule Browser.
I cant't save copy as PDF when I point to a nework location, It's working when I save directly on my computer.
I get a message saying : "Failed to publish DWF file."
coding iLogic to make a copy of the open model under a diferent name is a pre determined location with the same extension.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.
