Anyway, I have an .idw series of drawings that i want to start at sheet #13. How? It is a clients title block and the format is "sheet 1 of 8, sheet 2 of 8, etc." so I need sheet 13 of 26, etc..

I am writhig a macro to put text ( count number) under each occurrence in an assembly.
I got the Sequence correct and able to place the cnumber un drawing sheet.
But What I need to do is to place that number under consequent occurrence.
find the Image file and you will see wht i am trying to get.
i am icluding the Macro i written as well.
Private Sub RHSnumbering()
Dim oDrawingDoc As DrawingDocument
If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> kDrawingDocumentObject Then

How do you start the numbering on multi text from a No. higer than 1?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to start AutoCAD LT without the empty drawing. Just AutoCAD and the welcome screen. How can i do that? I always close the first drawing and begin a new one by choosing out of several templates or start with an existing drawing, rename and modify it. For NEW or OPEN i like to use the welcome screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a user that is on a 4 sheet site plans set and is opting to prefix his sheet numbers with C-. I have n issue with that, but he is also forcing the numbers into the hundreds with C-100 for sheet 1. In and of itself I wouldn't be too bothered by it except he is insisting on sheets 2-4 to C-200, C-300, C-400.
My biggest issue is this is making some inconveniences with SSM.My second issue is why use 5 character for a single digit.
My last peeve is if I see drawing C-100 my minds eye is looking for C-101 through C-199 and so on. Also if your using C- for the civil drawing would that preclude the need for C-200 - C-400?
Normally you start with new models/assemblies/and drawings when you use the templates the naming by default is part1.ipt, assembly1.iam, drawing1.idw
I am currently at part431.ipt and assemby57.iam
I am concerned I may eventually reach part1000.ipt LOL
Currently using Inventor2012.
Not welds from a model, but if I go through 4 .idw sheets of details...and annotate all of my welds is there a way to assign numbers to them without manually entering them?
Our welds are track by number through QA, and depending on the amount of sheets and welds in a set of drawings for a given assembly, sometimes it's a real chore when you realize you forgot to add a weld to something on page 2 when you've already edited weld tails through page 5.

I have an issue when using Auto Balloon.
Lets say for e.g. that I have 12 parts within an assembly, once auto balloon has done it’s job you notice that No. 9 balloon is blank and No. 10 balloon only shows 1 and not 10.
In Inventor 2010 is it possible to change the numbering system so that it continues sequentially with each assembly / subassembly added across the sheets in a drawing file?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPart numbering schemes. At my workplace we have descent naming conventions for top level assemblies/products however our substructuring is quite a mess. A previous workplace had a set in stone scheme for naming sub assemblies and parts based on the top level assembly or product.
I am in the process of developing a policy and am curious to see what others have done instead of re inventing the wheel.
How can I start up AutoCAD and not have a blank drawing show up?
I work the majority of the time with existing drawings and I am tired of closing Drawing1.dwg every time.
I looked for a command line switch for the shortcut icon, but, no joy.
When I created a parts list this morning the list started with item 2 and skipped item 8 as shown below.
why would it do that? I know I can renumber the list, but then when I expand the subassembly to show the subassembly parts, they stay numbered 10.1, 10.2 ect. even though the subassembly has become item 8 with the renumbering. If I expand the subassembly before renumbering, I loose the indented numbering format and simply get numbers 1 to 18. True I could manually renumber all the components, but what would be the reason the parts don't come into the parts list numbered sequentially to start with?
I have created an iAssembly which contains 4 assembly variations. I now want to create an assembly drawing for these variations.
In this case all my assembly variations will have the same assembly part number as essentially they are all the same assembly except for a few "change over parts".
I intend to have one drawing with multiple sheets. Each sheet will have one variation of the assembly on it with a BOM for that specific variation. The problem I am having though is that the drawing BOM for each variation are linked and as a result each drawing has an inconsistant item numbering (for someone in the workshop who doesnt understand the CAD package and iAssemblies - They ask the question: Why are you skipping item numbers in the BOM's)
Is there any way I can get each BOM to show the item numbers sequentially? I tried editing the drawing BOM item number but the problem is that method propogates the item number changes to all the other BOM's as well.... (It is also tedious AND in my opinion it is generally bad practice to edit the BOM at the drawing level)
I am trying to create a baseline assembly driven by ilogic. When the baseline gets changed, most of the parts get replaced, but a few change size. I would like to re-name the top level assembly, as well as the parts and sub assemblies that change. We use a Vault sequential numbering scheme. How do I extract the next number from the sequence from Vault in iLogic?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been away from AutoCAD for about 10 years and just getting back into it with AutoCAD2012
I want to modify my default start up drawing. ie. Change my units, grid off, text and dimscale, zoom out, etc.
I have no problem doing all that but don't know how or where to save it so it becomes my default start up drawing.
can you start autocad with no drawing open ?
i would think that some type of script would work or could you change your target on a shortcut?
When I draw a line, is there a way to say, "Start at point (864,0), go exactly 270° down (actually, I can hold down the shift key for that, but I digress...) and end at the other side of the canvas at point (864, 3456)?
A script would probably work well, but I've never dipped into that.
It's as simple as that. How do I change the anchor point from which I'm drawing. I'm using the pen tool on Illustrator CS6 on a tablet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing VB.net to run a standalone program that launches Inventor at the beginning. I have recently moved the program to a new computer, and all of the sudden I am getting these errors. The message box below the program reads "A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.Interopservices.ComExceptopn' occured in mscorlib.dll.
I turned on the exception break command when those kinds of errors occured, and it stopped on the first line of the startup of Inventor code.I have added my reference to the autodesk.inventor.interop.dll already.
I have a VB .NET Dll that add a new ribbon in AUTOCAD.When I load this dll from AUTOCAD, this new ribbon is well added.I'm trying to start this dll with AUTOCAD Start.

I am having problems with my drawing template, I can make changes no problem, but when I use the template to start a new idw file the changes are not in place.
For example; view preferences, I want to work in third angle, I have this selected on the template but each time I start a new idw I have to change it from 1st angle.
e.g. 2; sheet size, I changed it from text to a drawing property, but it doesn't change when I edit the sheet size.
Recently faced this problem- trying to start up Tube and Pipe option in Assembly, it seems to start loading and then Inventor doesn't respond anymore. I can't really tell when this problem started to appear. But at some point I was able to start it up after some ettemps and restarting Inventor, but now that doesn't work.
I tried to delete Registry file VERSION 18, like it is written in this thread: URL....I am running Autodesk Inventor 2014 on a Windows 7 64 bit.
When I select "Start Simulation" from the Add-Ins tab, nothing happens. The hourglass comes up for a split second, but nothing launches. We have Simulation 2012 Mechanical installed on the machines. I have tried with both parts & assemblies. Obviously we can launch both applications separately but it's nice to go back and forth using the quick launch.
The machines are both Windows 7 Pro (latest service packs) as well as Inventor & Simulation 2012 (Product Design Suite Premium to be exact.) Inventor has the latest service pack SP1 installed. This did work in previous versions of Inventor.
I just spent my afternoon with a prospect who just want to install Inventor 2013 from the downloaded trial version. He's on windows 7 home premium x64 SP1, everything seems fine, but he's unable to launch inventor after installing it.
We chose Inventor 2013 (not pro version) with some content center libraries, without Fusion or Vault.The installation went fine with no antivirus (he's using Microsoft security essentials) and UAC disabled (minimum level).He rebooted the computer and then tried to launch Inventor and saw the message attached.
He tried alone for 3 days, and I called him today to try different things (first we tried to install inventor pro but there was a problem with some moldflow component error 1920, which is unsolved for the moment according to the different topics in the forum).
We had to manually uninstall Inventor and the different components (delete the folders, and manually go through registry to delete the keys), then reboot, run ccleaner 3 times, and then install in C:AutodeskInventor 2013
He also tried to download and run Autocad Mechanical and has the exact same problem. The installation runs well, but when he wants to run ACAD, he has the same error message.
I am a middle school teacher with a lab of 25 Dell Precision T1600 desktops. I just installed Inventor on all the computers and it works beautifully on 24 of them. On one of them, when you choose the "start" menu, nothing happens. If you click a second time, the area where the menu should be is black and the program stops working. The computers are running Windows 7 and with it working on 24 not sure why it wouldn't work on the 25th.
I have reinstalled 3 times, but nothing seems to work.
Is it possible to enable all Items to start at 101 as opposed to 1??
We can change this by simply renumbering each time but can we get Inventor to always start from 101?
