AutoCAD Inventor :: Set Parameter For End Value Of Parameter Animation
Dec 19, 2011
I got a deadline for my project, but I got a big problem:
"I cannot set the "parameter" for the End Value in Parameter Animate dialog"
For easy understand, let's see a example:
1. I got a part which has two parameters named: "A" and "MaxA"
2. I animate Favorited parameter A.
3. The End Value is MaxA_ (Everything is ok)
4. I finish Studio environment, then I change parameter MaxA_ from 200 mm to 400 mm
5. I turn back to Studio environment, the End Value now is "200 mm" (I want this will be MaxA_, so I can animate the flexible parameter).
show me how to keep the end value will be "MaxA_" after I change parameter?

I have user parameters that are no longer needed and are not being used anywhere. They each takes 4-5 seconds to delete, prior to 2012 this would happen instantly.

I am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.
I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)
Is this possible?

I have an assembly inside of Inventor Studio. One of the parts inside of the assembly has a parameter that I would like to animate. When I select the "Parameters" function within the "Animate" tab on the ribbon, I get an error:
"There are no favorite parameters defined."
This worked fine when I tried the same thing with only the part inside of Inventor Studio, but not when the part is included inside of an assembly.

it is possible to use a user defined parameter to drive a action parameter.
I have several polar and linear stretch actions i would like to drive from one parameter.

The reaction manager is an extremely cumbersome way to map one parameter to another, especially if you want a precisely defined mapping curve.
In Cinema4D (a program I'm learning at the moment) there is a range mapper node that can use a spline as mapping curve to map an input parameter to an output parameter.
Is there a way in Max to map one parameter to another using a precisely defined curve?

i'm rigging a character and i want to create an custom parameter for my rig's controller that save a lot of time for animators; "transform to zero" is one of most useful command in animating, take a look at my screenshot
now my question is how can i create an custom parameter like "button" under my controller parameters or in attribute holder that run a simple code/script for me like transform to zero script: macros.run "Animation Tools" "TransformToZero"

Have a bit of a puzzle that's been bouncing around a bit. Is there a way to delay a object following it's parent for a few frames? For instance, I have a hook attached to a crane that rotates around, the hook following it around. If I could have it follow the crane at a bit of a lag, allowing the cable to curve slightly, it would look a deal more real. I know I could hand animate it, but is there a way to set it up so that the hook will follow the crane after a delay of say, 10 frames or so?

I used to do this all the time. Now I cant remember how to do it properly, if possible a screenshot of how to do the maths in the Parameter wiring box. Getting the circle to travel along this line without scripting.
What should have been a 5 minute job has turned into about an hour.

I want to create an custom parameter like "button" under my object parameters or in attribute holder and i want this button run a simple code/script for me.
for example: linking Box1 to Box2
$.parent = $Box002
I know how to work with "wire parameter" and "parameter editor" but the problem is that i cant find any way to tell them to run this script with that parameter.

I try to wire the length parameter of a taper object to the local Y-Position values of another object. It works fine until I reload the file. I get an MAXScript Wire Controller Exception error:
--Runtime error: Illegal self-reference in controller script
...and the parameter-wire dialog opens. The desired functionality returns by clicking the Update Button and everything works fine again.

in Inventor 2010 we can save and load iLogic Paremeter with *.xml and just in my opinion we can control parameter using *xml or html. It's right or false?
how to control Inventor parameter with *.xml?

I have generated frame that has 100 members in it. Is there a quicker way of changing G_L unit to a mm so that I don't have to go into all 100 parts to change the custom properties?
Also I do not need unit string to be appear in my BOM.

I set a dimension to a 2dline. The dimension is automatically added to Model Parameters. How can I find , by code, the line which length is driven by the parameter ? Or, starting from the line find the parameter which indicate its length ?
::GetDependents(), nor ::GetDrivenBy(), nor ::GetParent() gives me the answer.

I'm trying to get a parameter value from an Inventor .dwg file, but I keep getting an error saying the file is not found. I use this same code all over the place between different parts but its the first time I'm tried it using a dwg. Can you not access an Inventor .dwg parameters using iLogic .
MsgBox(Parameter(ThisDoc.Path & "MyDrawing.dwg", "Customer"))

Sometimes I change the dimensions of a material I use but then I have to open Iproperties and change the description by hand. This can create problems as you can understand especially when I forget to update the Iproperties.
Then I had the thought to automate it. Lets take a steel bar as example. I have thickness and width as parameter, both are exported and available under IProperties/Custom. But they show as 200 mm and 10 mm. I would like to loose the units. I tried also UL but then it reads 200 ul and 10 ul.
What I like to get are just the numbers, no units. I like to use it to create this "steel bar 200x10" where the 200 and the 10 are linked to the Parameter and will change when I change the dimensions av the steel bar.

I created a *.iam file. And from this asembly file, I need run some rules in *.ipt file.
I use
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12
to give d12 parameter in my assembly to d12 parameter in *.ipt. It works.
But I need get parameter in the *.ipt file after running the rules in *.ipt.
so, I put
d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")
following above line.
But everytime, I just be able to get the result before *.ipt run the rules, not after.
I noticed the rules in assembly were compeletely run, then run the rules in *.ipt. So, the result is not correct.
I am using Inventor 2009 with ilogic. XP OS.

I would like to have the material, color etc. as parameter so i can change it with an ilogic form.
In this video you can see what i mean:

Is there a way to use the filename to drive the parameters of the file?
Example: I have a cube that is called 4x4x4.ipt its dimensions d0,d1,d2 are 4,4,4 respectively. I want to rename it to 4x4x6.ipt and have the dimensions d0,d1,d2 resize to 4,4,6.

I've got a custom VBA function that works perfectly when called from a parameter in my part.
However, when in the context of my assembly, there is no error, but the function no longer runs, and the parameter text is red.
Apparently, the function is no longer in context?
I've heard of external rules, but have never implemented one.
Is there a way to declare my function and keep it in context regardless?
Public Function BumpHeight(dblHeight As Double, dblMember As Double) As Double Dim X As Integer X = 2 If dblHeight > dblMember * 2 Then BumpHeight = dblHeight Else BumpHeight = dblMember * X End If BumpHeight = BumpHeight / 2.54 End Function
Here is the Parameter:
VBA:BumpHeight(ValanceBackBumpoutHeight;ValanceMemberSize) * 1 in
Update: (problem better defined)
What seems to be happening is that once I insert the part into an assembly, it creates a new blank copy of the parts' modules in VBA and the functions no longer work.
If I go to the VBA editor,
There are now two copies of my part listed in the browser tree, but the new one is blank.
If I paste in my function to the new one, it will work until I return to the parent assembly.
Next time I come back to the part, it will have a new blank set of modules.
This appears to continue indefinitely...
see the attached screenshot.
At this point there are only 2 copies of the DocumentProject. The original still contains my functions, but the new one is blank.
I need these functions to work in order to build my model.

how to round a parameter using ilogic.
For example. I have Roperev=Roperev_1. Roperev_1 is determined by an excel equation. I need Roperev to produce a nominal number because this parameter dries a coil revolution and I need the revolution to be a whole number.
I can not just round the excel result because the excel result needs to be multiplied by 2.53 to get the resultant for Roperev_1

In my head assembly I have a subassembly that has derived parts from my skeleton. My skeleton (part ending with skt in the picture) is in the subassembly.
In this subassembly I made a view representation: NoSKT..When this is activated the skeleton is hided (see picture).If I now make a pattern of this subassembly in my head assembly with for example a parameter from my embedded excel or a parameter in inventor "quantity = 2" inventor will add 1 element with the same view representation. Still no problem.
The problem is now when I change the parameter. If I change the quantity to for example 3, the view representation of the third element is gone and the skeleton will become visible.I have many parts like this in my head assembly and quite a lot of patterns. Which means a lot of skeletons become visible. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

When I import a part from content center, a tube in this case, I get a length parameter called <PL>.
I am using this parameter in the parts lists, so it shows "=Outer diameter x thickness x <PL>"
However I don't want trailing zeros, leading zeros or units string to be shown.
I know I can open the parameters window, right click the parameter, then click custom property format and then uncheck these boxes and its fine.
But I want to know if there is a smarter way to do this, like creating a rule to execute on all the parts?
I have around 500 pipes with the parameter <PL> that needs to be changed.

I have built a vb interface using a tutorial from AU. Now I would like to do the same without the interface.
Inventor uses ilogic to pass parameters to the dll - the dll does the number crunching & returns values to Inventor - no interface required.
The tutorial uses an OK button to fire values back & forth - how can I do this without a button? I would like this to fire in the background without a form appearing.

I have made a sheet metal panel with three hole in it.Every hole has separate parameters.
When i suppress one hole and i go to the BOM i don't want to see the values of the parameters from the suppressed hole.
Is there a way to when i suppress one or two holes the values don't show in the BOM?
Everytime i suppress one or two holes the values show up in the BOM.
