AutoCAD Inventor :: Set Linetype For Specific Part To Be Displayed On Multiple Sheets

Jul 23, 2013

I would like to change the way a linetype appears for a specific part, globally throughout my drawing package. How is this done?

I am currently selecting the part in the model tree in the browser and changing it that way, but I have to do it on multiple views, for multiple pages .

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Set Displayed View Of Modeled Part

Apr 22, 2013

I have Inventor 2012.  When I open a file of a part or assembly that had been modeled the piece is displayed not centered nor fully visible.  I have changed the document settings for modeled part to make the displayed area larger that the default 3.937" wide x 1.969" high which sort of works sometimes. 

The model Origin seems to be centered while the modeled part is displayed off the screen.  Is there a setting to have the model file open with the geometry extents displayed and centered?  The thumbnail for the file looks correct.  It seems like the template files would control this feature.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Printing Drawings On Multiple Sheets?

Aug 15, 2012

I've got a drawing that is 14"x12" and have a printer that can only handle 8.5 x 11 sheets. I need to print it out full scale because I plan on using the drawing to cut something out. In school, I have seen my teacher  print the drawing across multiple sheets, and then he simply tapes the sheets together. I have tried every configuration possible and have had no success.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Auto-copy Parts List To Multiple Sheets

Jan 18, 2012

Is there a way in Inventor 2011 to automatically copy a parts list from an assembly on sheet 1 to the other sheets in a drawing? We generally have large assembly drawings with the same assembly spread out over several sheets and have to create a new parts list and update it separatly on each sheet. We also have this issue with revision information which we store in a symbol but parts lists are more prevelent of an issue.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create And Define Multiple Custom Properties For Individual Sheets?

Apr 24, 2013

the only property I can actually define for each individual sheet (for use in iLogic, text fields, etc.) is the sheet name. This is extremely limiting. Each sheet in my drawings has several properties of its own--sheet number (most importantly), what part is ON the sheet, the designer, the revision, etc. I would love to be able to use each of these in labels on the sheet, for example, a text box with "<Sheet #> - <Part> (<Designer>)". The only possible way I could do something like this is to use the sheet number as the Sheet Name, and then use that value in the sheet's text labels, headings, and title block. However, I want to be able to use descriptive names for the Sheet Name, plus that's just one property.

Is there any way I can create and define multiple custom properties for individual sheets? I was exploring the idea of using iLogic, using the ActiveSheet command, possibly, and "tricking" inventor into creating properties for a given sheet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calling Specific Part In Assembly Through Macro

Nov 1, 2012

I have been trying to create a macro to control an assembly. The problem is that I need to access a certain parameter in a specific part in the assembly. I can get the exact parameter by using the "name" of the given parameter, ex .Item("d7") to call the parameter d7. The problem for me has been what name do I use to call out a given part, I have been using .Item(Index number), ex .Item(12), but this number can change as parts are added, deleted, or suppressed.

The question is what "name" should I be using and how do I use it. I have tried

"InternalName", "PrimaryDeselGUID",  "DisplayName", "FullDocumentName", "FullFileName"

but there is no "Name" to input like the parameter.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Specific User Parameters To Part File

May 21, 2012

I would like to have a rule that will add specific user parameters to a part file.  These parameters need to be formatted so the width, depth and thickness will control the description of the part.

IE:

Width=4

Depth=2

Thickness=3/16

DESCRIPTION = TS <Width>X<Depth>X<Thickness>

I would like to format each parameter so that the:

Format=Fractional

Precision=1/16

Unit string=False

This is what I have so far:

oMyParameter=ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters

oParameter=oMyParameter.AddByExpression("Width", "TOP_RAIL_WIDTH", UnitsTypeEnum.kInchLengthUnits)
oParameter.ExposedAsProperty=True
oParameter.Units="in"

[Code]...

The TOP_RAIL parameters are from a linked file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part File With Multiple Instances Of Multiple Solids?

Apr 18, 2013

I'm designing a part that in Autodesk Inventor 2013 that is constructed from several layers laminated together. I have 4 layers:

F (front)

M1 (middle, variation one)

M2 (middle, variation two)

B (back)

The final solid will lhave 17 layers laid out like this:

F | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 ... | B

I currently have a part file containing

F | M1 | M2

What's the best way to create this solid if I want to a) keep all instances of M1 and M2 in sync, and b) make it easy to work on all 4 layers. Do I have to export F, M1, M2, and B as individual parts and import them into an assembly or can I keep them in one part file? I really like the ability to be able to work on all the solids at the same time because they're visually dependant on each other.

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Count Sheets Counts Excluded Sheets

Jun 14, 2012

shouldn't sheets marked as "exclude from count" not be counted?

I tried this in both 2013 and 2012 to see if maybe AutoDesk broke it, but it doesn't work in either one. This is easily reproducible for me, a file shouldn't be necessary. Just open up (or create) a multi sheet drawing. Go to edit sheet on one or two of them and check the "exclude form count" box. Now create a new iLogic rule and put the following line into it:
 
MsgBox("This is the number of sheets in the drawing: " & ThisDoc.Document.Sheets.Count, VBOkOnly, "Number of Sheets")

AutoCAD Inventor :: Moving Solid Part In Assembly Using Grip Snaps And Specific Vector Direction

Sep 4, 2013

Is there a way to move a solid part in an assy using grip snaps and a specific vector direction .

Please look at the attachment,here you will see a gusset positioned on top of a foot plate,the gusset needs to be moved so that it makes contact with the cylinder,it will then be welded. The problem is more difficult because the gusset is offset to the axis of the cylinder and the precise distance is unknown unless worked out using trigonometry.

The question is what is the best method of moving the gusset to the precise distance and direction ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: One Part Multiple Lengths?

Jun 25, 2012

I'm creating an assembly and in this assembly I need to add some foam pieces. These pieces are the exact same part number but can vary in length. How can I make such a part so that i can insert it into an assembly multiple times but have different lengths? I'd rather not make multiple pieces of foam for every single assembly for all of our product lines and am looking for the "one foam to rule them all" option. I would assume this would be an ilogic component I would have to create, but i haven't really made a part like that yet.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple K Factors - Same Part

Using Inventor 2012, is it possible to use a different K factor value for 2 different bends?

Why would I want to do this? It comes into play based on large and small bend radii in the same part. The large bends require a slightly differnt K factor. I searched the forums and don't think I found what I was looking for. The other thread I found was about bend tables.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Part Lists In 1 Drawing

Jan 29, 2013

I am currently working on a product where I want to make 2 part lists in my drawing of the same assembly. The first parts list has to view all the parts that are always delivered with our product, and the second one has to show the optional parts and features that could be delivered with the product.

I want both lists to be categorized the same way (comments, material, name), I want the numbers of the list to be chronological (also I don't want the second parts list to start the numbering at 1) and I want both lists to stay connected with their balloons.

Is there any way this can be done, like adding or removing part links to the list manually?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multiple Extrusion Depths On Same Part

Nov 28, 2013

Inventor 2014.  I have watched everything I can find and read many entries on related messages.

I create a part by creating rectangle on the XY of 90mm centered on 0,0.  I add fillets on 3mm on all four corners.  I then add two circles centered on 0,0 of diameters 45 mm and 41mm.  What I would like to do is extrude the area between 41 mm and 45 mm circles to 10 mm and the rest of the rectangle outside of the circle 45 mm circle to 6 mm.  The center of the part from center to the 41 mm circle is void or open. 

I have read two solutions that use a "share sketch" function, that I can't find by right-clicking as indicated in the write-up.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Derive Multiple Solids From A Part?

Jan 24, 2013

derive multiple solids from a part. I use the code shown below but it seem as I only can get the first solid in the part that I am trying to derive from.

''More Code'''
' Create a new part document, invisibly.
oPartDoc = m_inventorApp.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject, , True)
oPartDoc.UnitsOfMeasure.LengthUnits =UnitsTypeEnum.kMillimeterLengthUnits
' Derive the assembly into the part.
Dim oDerivedPrtDef AsDerivedPartDefinition
oDerivedPrtDef = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.CreateDefinition(oTopDoc.FullDocumentName)
Call oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.Add(oDerivedPrtDef)
'''More Code''' 

How can I get all the solids from the part that I am deriving from?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sculpt Part Composed Of Multiple Solids

Feb 28, 2013

Is there a way to sculpt a part composed of multiple solid bodies without having to perform the sculpt command for each solid body? I want to use the same work plane to remove material from a part but the sculpt command only allows me to select one body at a time. This means after the first sculpt of one solid, I need to turn on the visibility of the consumed work plane and perform a sculpt on each of the remaining solids.

Not a huge issue, but in the future I may need to do a large number of these tasks. I attached a sample file. I threw it together in 30 seconds so it's not the prettiest looking thing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Part Name That Has Multiple Insertions In Assemblies?

Oct 30, 2013

I have 2 assemblies and drawings of those assemblies. in both the same part is among the parts.

I want to change the name of the part that is in both assemblies with the Design Assistant, but i am afraid that if i will choose one of them and change the part file's name, the other assembly will be damaged. is it true?

I think this might happen because when i open only the part in Design Assistant, it doesn't let me change it's name, so, Design Assistant might not know where this part is inserted in.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Saving Part Files Multiple Times

May 2, 2013

In testing my latest automation project, I've found that I can't save copies of a part multiple times (after deleteing the files off the disk) unless I close out of the top level assembly document, and reopen it. I used Process Monitor and determined that Inventor is trying to save to an existing file instead of creating a new file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part That Needs Multiple 9mm Gun Drilled Holes To Different Depths

Nov 4, 2013

I am working with a part that needs multiple 9mm gun drilled holes to different depths. The problem I am having is not being able to create a truly custom single line hole callout. Example( DIA 9mm +.50mm -.00mm TO DEPTH 1.25in)

I understand that this isn't a common hole callout but in my situation it is what is needed. The values need to be linked to the part and not simply overridden as text. I am essentially wanting to make a style that I could apply to any hole note that would give the hole diameter a metric dimension and the depth an inch value.

AutoCad 2D :: Multiple Linetype Scales

Jan 14, 2013

We deal with multiple architects at our company, all of whom have different standards for their Linetype Scales (on a drawing at a scale of 1/8"=1'-0" some use 36, others 24 etc).

We need to take their Architectural drawings, remove all of there dimension notes etc and create an empty floor plan we put our designs on.

The issue is that we cannot have all of our symbols work with one consistent linetype. We have to go into the block and manually overide the LTS of the individual item to suite the LTS of the architects drawing.

Is there a way we can insert the architect background as an x-ref and have the LTS of our drawing not effect it? Or possibly a LISP/Script that divides the individual LTS of all their entities by their global LTS so everything looks fine in our drawings.

We have had issues with annotative objects in the past with some of the architects drawings so that is not a viable option.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Show Part From Main Assembly In Multiple Subassemblies?

Nov 8, 2013

I've got a machine designed that has a couple hundred parts - originally built as one main assembly (with a number of weldment subassmblies).  The problem is that the BOM is too large to feasibly have on the drawing and still show assembly detail.  I'm trying to avoid a multi-sheet configuration.

So I've grouped certain items and demoted into subassemblies.  The problem is that all the subassemblies are attached to a main frame- and I'd like to show this frame in each of the subassemblies as a reference.  Is there a way to add a "phantom" copy of the framework to each of the subassemblies to that it can be seen? (and the assembler can see how the subassembly is mounted on the frame)  Otherwise all these parts are just floating in space on the subassembly (and constraints are lost on the subs).

I'd like to keep the frame on the top assembly, as it may be customized for future machines, while using the same subassemblies.
