AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting The ActiveStandardStyle

Oct 6, 2011

A bit of a strange one.  I have a userform for people to configure a new drawing.  One of the options they have is to select the Active Standard from a choice of the two company standards. 

The template drawing contains both of the standards as does the styles library but the company ISO standard is the default.  If the user selects the company ANSI standard the active standard appears correct in document settings but it produces dimensions like its still stuck on the ISO default as the template is saved.  Looking in the styles library i can see the standard says ANSI but the Available Styles and Object defaults read as if they are the ISO standard.

First question, am i setting the active standard correctly?

Dim odoc2 As Inventor.DrawingDocument
Set odoc2 = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    'Get reference to active standard object
Dim oActive As DrawingStandardStyle
Set oActive = odoc2.StylesManager.ActiveStandardStyle
    oActive.Name = ComboBox1.Value

AutoCAD 2013 :: Setting Up Default Setting For Lab Environment

Sep 4, 2012

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.

We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.

In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.

We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting A View Scale

Feb 19, 2005

I can read a view scale with:

BaseViewScale = oDoc.Sheets.Item(1).DrawingViews.Item(1).Scale

But When I try to use the following line to change the scale, I get a compile error.

oDoc.Sheets.Item(1).DrawingViews.Item(1).Scale = BaseViewScale

What type of variable should BaseViewScale be (single, double, string)?Inventor Routed Systems 2010.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Document Visibility Via API

Jul 11, 2013

Is it possible to make a document invisible after it´s open? I would like to keep it in memory but not reachable to the user.

Making the document view(s) invisible is not what I´m looking for. I need to clear/close/delete all views WITHOUT closing the document..

( So it has the same state as if opened through API with the visible parameter set to false, e.g.  Document.VIews.Count = 0

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Background Color

Jan 9, 2014

Inventor uses a gradient-fill gray background for the 3D views.  This has many annoyances, such as parts of the image disappear at certain rotations because they render to the same color as the background.  More seriously, when I want to print the orthogonal 3D view, I get the gray background on the printout, which looks profoundly ugly, and obscures some of the critical information I want to see. 

Is there a way to either (a) change the background to something other than gray-gradient?  (I'd settle for something like light-blue-gradient, for example) and (b) tell the print command to not print the gray background (but if I change it to solid white, this would solve the problem)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Default Level Of Detail

Mar 28, 2012

I know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.

But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?

Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Standards In Styles Library

Jun 13, 2012

We have three divisions in my company.  Each division uses a different set of drawing templates.

With all of that said, in my division we are trying to setup a certain said standard that was copied from the out of the box standard ANSI one as a starting point.  We were hoping to have this standard reside only in our drawing templates, but the way the styles is handling it, it would appear that this standard has to be updated/added to the global styles library.

Is this a true statement that this has to be a global styles update or is there a way to have a said standard be the default setting within just certain drawing templates without being seen or affecting other drawing templates?

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

AutoCAD Inventor :: Light Level Setting Unstable?

Mar 8, 2013

I am trying to edit lighting styles for models in the edit wondow (not studio). On one only or several assembly models at once I am finding that the Style & Stnd/Lighting Editor has stability issues during editing.

After a number of edits to light settings using the scroll bars to change the lighting location, various  buttons start to dissapear or turn black & the dialog fails to function, sometimes locking up Inventor.

Only solution is to close down & restart Inventor. Subsequent attempts to reopen & do it again result in same behavior if not worse.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Manage LOD In Multi-user Setting

Dec 10, 2013

We have multiple clients and each client has multiple projects. Each project gets its own master assembly that contains multiple equipment layouts. This allows us to show everything together. In each master assembly, we create LODs to display equipment layouts side by side for connecting things one to another and to avoid collisions.

Example: The master assembly may contain 8 equipment layouts. Each layout is for a sub-process within the whole process. We create LODs for different groupings of layouts so that we can zero in on anything in particular that we wish to focus on. By choosing an LOD in the open dialogue box prior to opening the master assembly, performance is improved because we're only opening what we need instead of everything.

Within an equipment layout are any number of assemblies. We can create LODs to show the layout without conveyors or to show different options we've developed to present as concepts for approval prior to detailed design. Sometimes we are adding assemblies to an existing layout so we'll create an LOD for existing, one for as built, one for purposed.

how to create or modify LODs. Therefore, we are getting LODs with users' initials or a date or "doohickey". We've got to come up with something that makes sense now and will make sense later.

Any guideline for managing LODs in a multi-user environment?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting MultiValue List To Parameter

Jan 21, 2013

I have the following rule:

If OD=900 mm And Filter_Type = "Aerob" ThenMultiValue.SetList("FilterSize", 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5)End IfIf OD=900 mm And Filter_Type = "Donaldson DLM" ThenMultiValue.SetList("FilterSize", V3/7S, V4/7S, V8/7S)End If
 For first condition everything is ok. But when the second one is valid it gives error:

Conversion from string "V3/7" to type 'Double' is not valid.

Maybe I should add that the parameter "FilterSize" was made as Text and multi-value.

oSymbol.Color.SetColor(255,0,0);
 On the other hand, this is the proper method to set the color of a sketched symbol (I could not find this anywhere in the api)
oSymbol.Color = _mInventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0);

AutoCAD Inventor :: View Lighting Setting And Duration Of Tag Show Up?

Oct 15, 2011

The acquaintance with new 2012 Inventor gave several tiny but annoying problems.
 
The lighting settings is not so good as 2011 and requires alterations. The View - Lighting setting is always turns to Two Light instead of desired Default. The question is how to permanently set it to desired setting in ALL project? When I create the new lighting style it is visible only in that file. How to make it visible and set by default in other files? [URL]
 
 New 2012 has option of showing the name of part or assembly while cursor stops hovering over the object. Is it any time setting of duration of that option? It is quite annoying waiting for turning off or shutting down unwanted show up. It also either work or not work at all.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Best Technique For Setting Up Project / Main And Subassembly

Sep 21, 2011

Currently I m wokring on fairly large assembly of (as it feels to me) 14441 (Total Occurances in Active Document) and 1765 (Open Documents in Session). Its a complex Jump Form system for a sky scrapper.

Now as I went on with the assembly and saving all the parts, bolted connections and subassemblies in network drive - few of them were accidently saved in my local drive. I have setup a project files for this project and other projects and any one in my team changes the project file to open certain model assembly. So now when i open the assembly it goes fine but if someone else in my team opens that up they get errors of unresloved stuff. Now the things for which I need guidances are,

1. If I pack and go the whole assembly to remove the reslove errors - what will happen to my 100s of drawings (idw)?

2. Few of subassemblies had to undergo pack and go so that they can be changed to suit requirement at some other places after being renamed through design assistant. But now when i open my main assembly after setting up my prjecting file - it gives errors of multiple instances for the subassemblies obtained by performing "pack and go", in relation with the orginal sub assemblies.

3. What is the best technique for setting up project, main and subassemblies?

4. What steps I must need to follow performing pack and go? the destination folder can be a folder in project? if it is outside, how to grab it back in project (simple copy, paste)? After Pack and Go do I have to rename even the bolts before i bring the Pack and Go folder back to my project???

4. Can Autodesk Vault solve my problems? How difficult it is to setup and use Vault?
