AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Dimension Method Selectively

Jul 16, 2013

Looking for the method to query oDrawingDims.Tolerance. to see if SetToSymmetric (.0625) is the current value for a given dimension. 

oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Type results in 50377984, no matter what method is active in the dimensions. 

From Here. You get the Loop to reset,
 
'symmetric example' Set a reference to the select set of the active document.
DimoDocAsDrawingDocumentoDoc=ThisApplication.ActiveDocument' Find all selected occurrences and add them to an ObjectCollection.DimoDrawingDimsAsDrawingDimension'Loop through all dimensionsForEachoDrawingDimsInoDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingDimensions'set Tolerance MethodoDrawingDims.Tolerance.SetToSymmetric(0.5)Next

As well as this code to reset to default if a tolerance falls with in a certain set values,

' Set a reference to the select set of the active document.DimoDocAsDrawingDocumentoDoc=ThisApplication.ActiveDocument' Find all selected occurrences and add them to an ObjectCollection.DimoDrawingDimsAsDrawingDimensionForEachoDrawingDimsInoDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingDimensions'Loop through all dimensionsIf oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Upper = ("0.15875") And oDrawingDims.Tolerance.Lower=("0")oDrawingDims.Tolerance.SetToDefaultEndIf
Next

AutoCAD Inventor :: Linear Diametric Full Dimension Line Default Setting?

Apr 5, 2012

Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Default Dimension Styles Different Than Object Defaults In Style Library

Apr 5, 2012

We have, as our standard library default dimension style, a 1/32 fractional style, called "1/32-FRACTION". Various Object Types, like Linear Dimension are set to this Object Style. When I create a drawing, then these Object Defaults are in effect.

This means that, doing nothing while executing a dimension command, I get fractional dimensions by default. This works good.

However, sometimes I want to create a drawing where the default dimension style is "X.XXX-DECIMAL" without changing the Object Defaults found in the style library. I've tried to make the changes from within the style library and then save this as a template. However, when I try to make a drawing based on this template, Inventor states that the styles in the template differ from the styles in the library" and then busily goes about undoing what I careful did.

So I'm hoping there is something in the API I can call on to do this with a macro. Is it possible to write a macro that after you start a drawing, flips all the various Object Styles from "1/32-FRACTION" to "X.XXX-DECIMAL"?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Different Tolerance Method

Apr 30, 2009

While looking at the different tolerance methods, I see a couple called MIN and MAX, which just tack these words to the end of the dimension. Is there a way to customize the tolerance methods to add suffixes or prefixes to dimensions, such as TYP or 2 PLCS or something like that, so that I can minimize my detailing time.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Any Way / Method Of Doing Overall Project Properties

Jul 14, 2012

Basically a project could contain one idw file, or it could contain 20 idw files or 100 or more.

Our titleblock has about 12 entries of project information that will be consistent on all sheets whether that's one sheet or a 1000 sheets.

Is there a way to link an excel file to each idw? (I'm pretty sure not : ) ) or some way to have a central repositor for those properties so that if something changes, we don't have to go back and change each idw?

I have seen the drawing transfer management wizard, but it seems like overkill to a situation that has to have existed a long time - that being needing customer info on a titleblock. Seems like it'd be the perfect think for linking an excell file or having actual properties in the project file.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Use ExtendFeature Method Of PartFeature

May 22, 2013

I need to get familiar with the Inventor API for my thesis.Currently, I need to extend the face of a part.I started with selecting the face edge by

Dim ActiveDocument As Inventor.Document
Dim spline As Object
Set spline = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kPartEdgeFilter, "please choose the face edge!")

This is working fine.I know that the next step would be to use the ExtendFeature method of PartFeature, but I do not know exactly how to do this. Do I need to get the face as parent of the edge? How can I invoke the extesion then?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Better Method To Find Part Overall Size?

Jul 14, 2013

Is there any better method to find the overall size of a part model? I tried Range Box method and that gives some inaccuracy if the model have loft feature and fillet on that. But if I use GetExistingFacets the size gives more accurate. At the same time in a round part model with a cut, the GetExistingFacets give inaccuracy and range box method gives better result. Below is the X, Y, Z sizes of the two models with the above mentioned methods.

Round Part (Part1)

Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 129.934196472168 x 126.422719955444 x 25
Measured with Range Box method = 130 x 126.514225996919 x 25
 
Rectangular Part (Part2)

Measured with GetExistingFacets method = 300 x 300 x 30.0000286102295
Measured with Range Box method = 300 x 300 x 30.4094903224854

AutoCAD Inventor :: Templates Not Used Depending On Method Used To Create New Part File?

Feb 19, 2013

I have found that if I use the drop-down to select a new part file, it does not use the default (and only) part template in my templates folder.  I know this as there are several settings that do not match.  If I click on the icon to open the new part dialog, it displays my templates (part, assy & drw) and creates the new file based on those accordingly.

Any setting that needs to be changed to correct this behavior?
