AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Update Using WHILE Command

May 29, 2012

I am having a problem with a sketch not updating the parameters when using a "while / end while" command.

Basically if you have a right angled triangle (as attached) with one side and the angle doing the driving then I wish to update the sketch until the last side which is a reference dimension reaches a preset dimension.

I cannot get the updated sketch to read back into the while command to stop when the limit is reached. Instead it goes on an infinite loop until the sketch breaks.

I have used every update under the sun and can get nothing to work.

Trigonometry not an option as this is a basic example of what I wish to achive.

I have seen an example of this working but only for reading the iproperties so dimensions can change until a volume is reached.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Disable The Sketch Update

Jan 19, 2012

I have a function that adds many entities and constraints to a sketch, and it's very slow because it updates the sketch after each constraint is created.

Is it possible to turn off the automatic update, add all the entities and constraints, then turn on the update?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Model Update After Modify Feature Sketch

Feb 27, 2012

I'm a new 2009 Inventor user (use mostly Solidworks for other jobs) and how to make the model update after I modify a feature sketch (e.g. I only add one more circle/hole to a sketch used for a somple extrusion, but the extra hole doesn't appear on the model). Tried all update-related commands but no luck so far. If I delete the feature and recreate it again everything works fine, but I stuff up all other features and mates that use the reference geometry...

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 / Model Will Not Update After Sketch Edit

Jul 15, 2013

Tried to do something that all other 3D softwares seem to have no problem with, even inventor at least when we were using the old versions.

Editting sketch - close sketch.     No model update.

This is an existing 3D model created with inv2011.  inv2013 does not like much of what we created in the old releases of inv.

Sketch gives me 1 dimension.  Part and drawing give the old dimension value.

This is yet another major sign of unstable software. Over 24 software issues discovered from changing  inv2011 to inv2013.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Incomplete Part Update When Sketch Pattern Count Changes?

Mar 18, 2012

The attached part, created in Inventor 2012, has a formula for the number of occurances in a sketch pattern based on its length. When this number changes due to a length change, some parts of the sketch do not reposition and Inventor does not indicate that an update is required. The part can be fixed by dragging the affected geometry or performing a rebuild all. The following image shows the result when the length changes from 300 to 500.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Embossed Text (Part Sketch) To Update From Custom Properties

Dec 20, 2011

I’m trying to get the embossed text on a nameplate (done in sketch on a part) to change with updating a custom property in iProperties. Right now I’m using iLogic so I can change the text in User Parameters and that updates the embossed text. So where I’m having an issue is the Export Parameters tab is grayed out so I can’t get it work with my custom properties.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sketch Insert Image Command

Jul 26, 2013

I am attempting to insert an image into a sketch to be used as a decal, but it appears as a blank gray box. I created this image in Photoshop CS5 on my Mac Mountain Lion partition. I am running Inventor 2012 on my Windows 7 64-bit partition.

I appear to only have a problem with that specific image. All other images on my harddrive insert correctly. I have tried multiple file types (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc), but nothing has worked. URL.....It may be necessary to note that the image is white text with a transparent background.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Shared Sketch Generates Sketch Doctor Error - Feature Suppressed

Sep 21, 2011

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Part Sketch Into Drawing Sketch

Sep 20, 2012

How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?

I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations.  Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.

I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist.  I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.

I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way.  I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option.  I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get Sketch Point Data From Sketch Entity

Dec 3, 2013

Code below:

foreach (ProfileEntity oSourceProfileEntity in oProfilePath) { switch (oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity.Type) { case ObjectTypeEnum.kSketchArcObject: { SketchArc srcSkArc = default(SketchArc); srcSkArc = (SketchArc) oSourceProfileEntity.SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkArc.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } default: { SketchLine srcSkLine = default(SketchLine); srcSkLine =(SketchLine) oProfilePath[i].SketchEntity; // error points[i] = srcSkLine.StartSketchPoint.Geometry; break; } } i++; }

AutoCAD Inventor :: Converting 3D Sketch To 2D Sketch From IGS File Using Wires?

Aug 1, 2011

First we imported an ".igs" file to inventor, which produced "wires".  Then by promoting the wires it produced a 3-d sketch. 

The model is in one plane and 2-D, and we are trying to use Ansys 2-D analysis, but in-order to do so it needs to be in a 2-D sketch.

The model is too large to be redrawn on a 2-D plane, how to convert it to a 2-D sketch

AutoCad :: Scale Command - Increase Width Of 2D Sketch?

Jun 24, 2012

I am wondering whether we can increase the width of a 2D sketch (e.g., from 3.0436 to 4.3175: 1.42 times); in the meantime, decrease its height (e.g., from 7.6091 to 6.625: 0.87 times) by the SCALE command.

I've tried it several times in different ways, but both width and height were gonna increase or decrease at the same time!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Material Favorites Does Not Update When Update Materials

Dec 9, 2013

I made a change to my materials library.  I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material.  I then saved this back to my library.

Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library.  So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).

This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle.  It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).

Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....

The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in.  That is a bunch of work.  The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it.  The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.

I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

AutoCad :: Master Block Command That Can Auto Update Other Blocks In DWGs?

Jul 31, 2012

I'm looking for an option to keep master or source blocks together in one file that when changes need to be made I can just update them once and those changes reflect immediately in drawings containing said blocks. I had thought that the wblock command was used for this but it seems to just be another way to insert blocks similar to the design center.

Photoshop :: CS6 13.0.1 Update To 13.0.2 - Key Command For Viewing At 100 Percent Gone?

What's happened to the key command for viewing at 100%? It has always been Option/Command/0 and that doesn't work any more with this latest update. The Menu symbol is now a lower case n (which doesn't work) and the only way to view at 100% is to go through the menu. It's slowing me up badly when editing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Style Update (or Style Update Check) Upon Open Of A Drawing?

Nov 21, 2013

I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing? 

The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).

I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.

Photoshop :: Color Range Command In CS6 13.0.4 No Longer Works After Update

Apr 1, 2013

I just updated to 13.0.4 at the end of last week.  Today I went to use the Color Range command and it will not select any colors.  The Eyedropper tool works fine.  Adjusting the fuzziness and other options doesn't make a difference.  Nor does selecting multiple instances of a color to add to the selection.  Since I use this command regularly,  I feel confident that it is a bug with the update and I would love to hear of any possible fixes.  Or, is it possible to downgrade back to 13.0.3?  I didn't realize how much I used this and it's a major inconvenience.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Print 2D Sketch

Nov 29, 2003

I need to print an initial 2d sketch (without any 3d work done on it).

Printing this in sketch mode seems to output a screen capture, i.e. some lines appear wriggly and not as precise as an ordinary plot of an idw or dwg file.

A sketch w/o any 3d work will not be accepted as an idw file, thus I am not able to use all the formatting (tblocks, fonts, dimstyles, etc.) options available to idw files.

Is there a way of printing a 2d sketch (w/o any 3d work) as an idw file?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using VBA To Constrain A Sketch

Jun 26, 2012

I've managed to hack together some code to draw a rectangle and dimension it. Now I want to constrain it to the origin. I figure either using two dimensions from a top/side to the origin and setting the dimension as half of the other respective dimension would work. Or constraining the center point of a top/side line to be vertical/horizontal to the origin.

The problem I'm having is I do not know how to reference the origin. So until I figure out how to reference the origin point I can't use either method.
 
Public Sub DrawSketchLine() ' Check to make sure a sketch is open. If Not TypeOf ThisApplication.ActiveEditObject Is PlanarSketch Then MsgBox "A sketch must be active." Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the active sketch. Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch Set oSketch = ThisApplication.ActiveEditObject ' Set a reference to the transient geometry collection. Dim oTransGeom As TransientGeometry Set oTransGeom = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry Dim oUOM As UnitsOfMeasure Set oUOM =
