AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving Parts To New File Location

Jun 29, 2012

I have only been using Inventor since late winter .  I have create a "master" folder with an assembly, drawing, and excel cutlist.  This folder also contains sub folders with the sub-assemblies and parts.

In my master assembly I created ILogic rules to change dimensions of the parts, to select different profiles and to select different sub assembly configurations (on/off).  It works fine as is.

Now, the idea was to copy the whole "master" folder and rename it to a job, launch the master assembly and configure it, then save it.  The issue is that, even though the master assembly is in a new folder, it still references the sub-assemblies and parts from the "master" folder.  How do I write a rule to "save as" all these sub-assemblies and parts to the new location?

Illustrator :: Action For Saving PDF To Current Location With Different File Name?

Feb 15, 2013

I'm working on building an action in Illustrator CS5 that will do the following..Delete the layer "original artwork"Select AllCreate OutlinesSave as PDF "content.pdf" to the current working folder with specific settings in the Save PDF prompt..Up to step 4 this is pretty simple, but so far when trying to record the saving step it insists on using the directory that I'm building the action in - not the relative one based on where the current file is opened. Also, unlike the 'Save For Web JPEG' default Illustrator action, the PDF saving step doesn't retain any of the specific settings within the action.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Make Individual Parts Adaptive To Multiple Assemblies Without Saving Each Part

May 4, 2013

   We use a similar sub-assembly in almost every assembly we design.  So what I would like to do is make a template from this sub-assembly that I can make adaptive, constrain to the proper parts and have it resize to the main assembly.  I've been trying to do this for a few weeks now with little success.

 I have seen tutorials make adaptive part templates but never adaptive assembly templates.  Is this even possible?

 I know you can't make individual parts adaptive to multiple assemblies without saving each part as a different file and I think that's where my problems are coming from.  Even though I save the template as a different file is it still referencing the original adaptive part in my library folder?  If so, is there a way I can make it not do that?  I may be way off base there too I don’t know.

AutoCAD Inventor :: IBL File Location / Where To Set Path

Oct 10, 2012

I have a standard install of Inventor 2012 SP2, but for some reason it cant seem to find the images for IBL effects. See attached Screen shot, when I go to select an item there is nothing there.

I have found the files in the "c:userspublicautodeskenviroments" folder but why Inventor cant see them?I have looked in "App options" in the "file" tab and in the project file and I cant see any pathing options that relate to the enviroments?

The default images for textures and bumpmaps are all found OK just not the IBL files? How I can set the path to these enviroment images?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add File Location To Project

Feb 10, 2012

I'm working on creating iparts for fasteners.  Initially I had the O.D. of all the fasteners as nominal, which created an issue when using analyze interference.  All hole features are based on the minor diameter, so they are displayed correctly on the .idw.  Nominal fasteners with minor diameter holes means interference.

I am currently referencing the thread.xls spreadsheet, located in the Inventor Design Data folder, within my fastener ipart spreadsheet.  This allows me to maintain a constant connection to the thread.xls file if there are ever changes from Autodesk.

My issue comes about when I am placing the ipart files within assemblies.  I am asked for the location of thread.xls.  Once I re-establish the link, Inventor tells me it's not part of the active project.  BUT, if you look at the Project - Folder Options - Design Data, it is the same location.  So the project does have a link to the folder structure.

Would I have to create a library in each project so the link can be established.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Content Center File Location?

Dec 22, 2011

When our tech was here to install Vault for us I had several pressing tasks going on and did not learn how to find and alter our content center files. I now have a little time over the Christmas break to work on this. Where do I look in the settings to see where the content center is located? I plan to copy the files to my machine as I will not have access to the server over the break and I will need to know where to reset the file search at. Is this done through the project folders? If so how do I accsee read/write? I do have admin rights and we are using 2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Location Of A Part In An Assembly File

Nov 7, 2013

Is it possible to identify the location of a part in an assembly file?

I cannot access (or find access to) global locations, just local.  You may ask, whats the problem?  Well, right now, I have 10 subAssemblies and they are all "located" at (0,0,0), which means I have 10 solids sharing the exact same space. This problem can be easily fixed if I can compare the Global Origin to a Local Origin, but I can only find the "work axes origin" which is worthless to me.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Error Cannot Find Excel File After Saving File As Template

Dec 6, 2012

I'm linking an excel file to an .ipt file with iLogic code determining if the Material type is a certian value it will find the correct material thickness. These file work great when working on them thru Vault but when I "Save As Template" and create this file where our other template files are located (not Vault) this fuction does not work. I have realized that I had to place the a copy of the excel file in the same file folder as the template ipt, but even this does not fix the issue. 

I recieve this error:

Error in rule: Material, in document: Part6

'MWW Materials (Inventor).xlsx' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.

It seems completly countintutive that just saving the file as a template file would cause this not to work when all files that are required are located in the same file folder. Maybe I need a reference to the excel document within the iLogic code.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get IPT Parts To Right File Format

Aug 29, 2013

I'm trying to find a proper workflow how to get my .ipt parts to right file format that fits to our nesting program. Nesting program is a quite old and doesn't support files newer than Autocad 2000 .dwg/.dxf.

Our current workflow is quite slow and painful, because we have to clean drawings manually and it breaks the link between drawing and 3D model:

1. Design parts in Inventor (.ipt)
2. Create drawing file in Inventor (.idw/.dwg)
3. Save a copy from drawing file to Autocad .dwg
4. Open the copy of drawing in Autocad, remove splines etc. and save in older Autocad 2000 .dwg format
5. Import to Nesting program

How should I do this that it won't break the link between .dwg file and 3D model and those drawings won't have any splines?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Missing Parts In IPN File?

Mar 13, 2012

A couple parts that I moved from one subasy to another in an IAM are not showing in the associated IPN browser at all. Yet they are visible in the edit window & look as if they have tweaks applied.  I can click on & highlight them but there is no sign of them in the browser at all.

The parts are definitely in the browser of the IAM file though.

Jul 6, 2013

Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
 
I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.

Example: K:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG

The actual location of the original photo is:  D:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
 
The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:My DocumentsMy Pictures
 
Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:?
 
I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IGES File Into Separate Parts

Oct 12, 2011

I have an IGES file that, when opened in Inventor, comes in as a single part.  In the model tree of the part are 126 Solid Bodies, each with a "Base" in it. The parts are all solids, or appear to be.  Is there a way to open this file so Inventor makes each "Body" a separate .ipt file, and the IGES file a .iam file (as it can with a .stp file)?  I can't attach the file, as it's 36+Mb....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Updating Parts From Assembly File

When I create a assembly , no problem , If I modify any parts in the assembly , the mods do not translate to the part file Inventor asks if I want to save the changes but nothing happens , everything is in the correct project folder , I have tried everything I can think of .

I have looked at several posts and comes up with a add on called "Feature Migrator" but Inventor must be able to it by itself?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly File - Missing Parts In DWF

Oct 19, 2012

I have an assembly file I made in Inventor 2011 that I published to DWF. When I view it in Design Review 2013 not all the parts are visible. If I zoom in on the area that they are suppose to be, they magically appear, but can't get a good view of the whole assembly that way. This trick doesn't work for all missing parts. I have tried to hide/unhide the missing parts, but that does nothing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Feature In Part File Has No Structural Parts

Oct 10, 2012

When I insert a standard 6" square tube into an assembly there are all of the custom shapes and standard structural members to choose from. When I try to put the same tubing into a part file only the custom shapes are visible and no standard parts to choose from.

I can only guess that I have some obscure check box missing. There appears to be no good reason why I would be restricted in part files.
