We have created one Style, but within this Style are two Dimension types (Dual and SIngle)
When a drawing from a model is created it defaults to the Dual Option and we can only select the Single Dimensions by individually selecting the Dimension and editing to Single Dimension, which can be time consuming.
Is there a way to select the Dimension type for the whole drawing?
How can I load multiple dimension styles into an Inventor drawing file without loading them into a template file?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to assign different dimension styles to different sheets in an idw. I have idw drawings with several sheets and use a couple of different dimension styles depending on what is on each sheet. I've created the dimension styles I want to use but I don't know how to assign a dimension style to a specific sheet. For now what I am doing is dimensioning, then as needed for the dimensions that need a different style, right click on the dimension and select new dimension style to changes its dimension style. I would like to assign dimension styles to specific sheets, is there a way to do this? Even though borders, title blocks, etc. are the same throughout the sheets, do I need to create different sheet formats to do this?

Do you all have them too? How do you get rid of them if you dint use them?

I am trying to implement our new Styles Library for our Dimension styles. I keep getting this error (see attached).
I have done everything I can think of, I have mapped the default library to the new styles library location on the server. I have tried everything.
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"?
What is the data type for the second parameter of retrieve dimension method? Coz it's optional parameter.Retrieve(ViewOrSketch as Object, [DimensionToRetrieve]) as GeneralDimensionEnurator
We've tried to put the parameter name of the model as parameter but error had occured "DATA TYPE MISMATCH".Here's our
Call osheetDetail.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions.Retrieve_(oTopView,oModel.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.Item(10).Name)
I wonder why I was not able to select the material type. I may have accidentally toggle off/on some selection.

I have updated our Company TB and Border and was now working with the Line weights of our layers. I placed our TB into the directory so when we do File -> New, we can select our TB. My problem is when I open it up, I get an error dialog box about a Conflict Styles (error shown below). Where exactly do I save our Library styles so that when I open up our TB, my pre-selected lineweights, layers, etc... load up?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2013. For some reason I cannot dimension some of the model entities in the drawing views in an idw file. I can retrieve the model dimensions but it is usually easier to create the dimensions I need in each view. I can select the line, curve, etc. when dimensioning but nothing happens.
After I think about it. What I cannot dimension are lofts that I created with rails. These rails were made up of lines and curves, not polylines. How do I get the sketches for the rails I used for lofting to display in the drawing views so I can dimension those sketches.
I'm using Inventor 2013. I created an assembly where I did a lot of top down modeling (meaning components in the assembly were created in the assembly. All but a handful of the components are adaptive to other components). When I went to make my drawings for having the components made, I started noticing that some of the dimension values were wrong. I could go into the model and verify the features, but when dimensioning on the drawing it would not match. Furthermore, this didn't occur on every dimmension on the drawing. Not even half of them were incorrect, but it only takes one to really mess up a part.
I've attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing. The 15.2 and 5 dimmension are correct, but obviously those don't add up to 31.37. I know I can manually override this dimmension, but only if I know to do it. I tried to do a drawing of another part in the same assembly and eventually found a similar problem.
Finally, I created a step file of the 1st part (to strip away the adaptivity) and when I created the drawing again, the problem went away.
My question is, is there something I did in the assembly / creation process that would have caused this?
I'm trying to dimension an ellipse in the Inventor Drawing Feature. I've attached the .idw files. (the .ipt is too large)I am aware that the ellipse doesn't have a constant radius and was wondering what is accepted practice for these dimensions?
I need to first dimension the external elliptical shape (which I'm struggling at), might just add a note.
Secondly I'm trying to dimension the mesh part, its not centrally align to the part and since I can't put a center mark on I'm not sure how I should dimension this...
My question is to find the dimension in the drawing area
for example
If we observe in the drawing left hand site we can see alphabets in the border area and number at top border area
if the dimension lies between "A" on left hand side and "1" on top border srea
then i want a message the dimension lies on A1
dimension bend parts with corner intersection. Is there any option in Autodesk Invenor Drawing so that i can give dimensions as shown in attached image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo my problem is that I need to include a line on a part drawing that isn't related to the part itself. I need to be able to override the dimension of the line I sketched so that I can include it in my drawing and update the dimension without having to change anything else on the part.
Basically, I want an iLogic rule to overide a dimension, and I don't know how to do that.
I have recently drawn a steel construction, and I am now in the process of making the drawings. A problem that occurs is the length of beams used for bracing. When I click the two outer points, the lower dimension in the drawing appears. This is the length of the line between the two points. To be able to dimension properly, I have made a sketch with a straight line, which is perpendicular to one side of the beam. This has been used, with the point on the opposite side, to find the true beam length (and is showed as the upper of the two dimensions in the picture).

Say you've dimensioned something but end up wanting to change the dimension definition points...drag the end point to another location that you want dimensioned.
I thought it used to snap to a new location, but now it will not. I have to redraw the dimension (including all text I added).
Here is what I get when I try to move the dimension definition point:

I cannot edit a dimension that I add to a drawing, IV simply ignores my request when I select Edit from the shortcut menu. This is not a retrieved dimension. My only workaround has been to edit the dimension properties in the part file to display as I would like on the drawings.
I've checked the application options, under Drawing tab, I do have "Edit dimension when created" checked, yet IV does not display the edit dialogue box upon initial creation of the dimension.
