AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppress Pattern Occurrence Element With Macro Or API?

Sep 7, 2011

I need to be able to suppress individual elements of a circular pattern so I can retain the angular orientation while being able to reduce the number of instances.  I have found how to suppress the entire circular pattern, but can't seem to get the right terminology to access the elements one at a time.

The code I have to suppress the entire pattern is Feature.InventorFeature("Circular Pattern").Suppressed = True.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppress Pattern Occurrence In A Part File Using ILogic

Dec 8, 2011

I have set iLogic to change a rectangular pattern to a certain amount of occurrences depending on which is selected , i.e. 117 cavities, 140 cavities and 96 cavities. Only one is active (or unsuppressed ) at a time. 

What I need to do is suppress the 4 corners of each pattern, considering there's only one pattern and is dynamic.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppress First Element Of Component Pattern

Oct 29, 2013

I have a rectangular component pattern which started out with all components.  As more structure was added around it I started supressing different elements to suit, now a piece of structure has gone thru element 1 but i dont seem to be able to supress it...  is there an easy way to get rid of element 1 without having to redefine the pattern? (redefining causes me other problems)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Suppress Pattern Element Using Ilogic

Aug 9, 2012

I'm trying to use ilogic to suppress some individual elements of a pattern but i couldn't find any command that can target component pattern elements. When i try to capture its current state with the right click menu it does nothing.

I can of course suppress the part within the element but then it doesn't update the BOM.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Getting Graphically Selected Occurrence Of Rectangular Pattern Feature

Oct 3, 2012

We are using Inventor 2011 and I would like to make a small app that allows my users to graphically select one or more occurrences of a rectangular pattern feature  Then allow them to suppress them if desired.

I have determined the code to loop through the pattern occurrences and toggle suppression for any instance. What I do not know how to do is determine which occurrences have been graphically selected.

At this time I am only concerned with round hole features.  (Perforated metal)

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic - Suppress Pattern In 2nd Level Subassembly

Jun 4, 2012

I need to suppress a pattern in an 2nd level subassembly. But is only able to do it in the same level where the pattern is placed etc:

If Length < 3000 mm Then

Component.IsActive("1 st level subassembly", "Name of pattern in 1nd level subassembly") = False

End If

But if i do it with an MakePath... etc.:

 If Length < 3000 mm Then

Component.IsActive(MakePath("1 st level subassembly", "2 nd level subassembly", "Name of pattern in 2nd level subassembly")) = False

End If

If Length < 3000 mm Then

Component.IsActive(MakePath("1 st level subassembly", "2 nd level subassembly"), "Name of pattern in 2nd level subassembly") = False

End If

is it not possible to suppress a pattern by an MakePath?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Transform Occurrence To Match Another Occurrence's UCS

Aug 9, 2012

Basically I want to place parts and have them automatically connect to each other based on pre-existing UCSs on the assemblies.  I have a 'ucs_in' and a 'ucs_out' on each assembly.  I want the inserted component to perform a transformation to make the new occurrence's ucs_in to "mate" to the previous occurrences ucs_out.  By mate I mean their center points are at the same location and all axes are pointing in the same direction.  I have included screenshots to show what I'm working with and what I am trying to accomplish.  I have also attached the project files.

Below is my attempt at the code to do this.  My experience with transformations is limited so I may be way off from where I need to be.
 
Sub UcsMate() Dim doc As AssemblyDocument Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument 'assuming both occurrences are already in the assembly and both have 2 UCS, "ucs_in" and "ucs_out" Dim occ1 As ComponentOccurrence Dim

AutoCAD Inventor :: Occurrence Visibility Of Sub Occurrence

From a main assembly I am trying to change the visibility of occurence that are in a sub assembly. But everytime I change the visibility using the designviewrepresentation.setvisibilityofoccurrences(), that change the visibility of those occurrences in the other sub-assembly. Of course, if I do it thought the interface that works great. Anyone did something with changing visibility of sub component.

My questions:

- What might have I missed/what should I look for to enable making a pattern brush with 3d objects?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding Save Run Macro To Automatically Run Macro

Dec 30, 2012

I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.

Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?

1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.

2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View With Occurrence

Aug 21, 2013

I am working on some codes that let me make some change on visibility of occurrence. So I am I main assembly, and 3 occurrences of the same sub-assembly. The sub assembly was saved on a design view named hole that is hiding some occurrences.

if I work with one of those sub assembly (checkOcc as component occurrence)and then I try this:

                Debug.Print("Occurence name: " + CheckOcc.Name)
                Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                CheckOcc.SetDesignViewRepresentation("Default")
                Debug.Print("Is DRV associative: " + CheckOcc.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)
                Debug.Print("The Active DRV is: " + CheckOcc.ActiveDesignViewRepresentation.ToString)

The first time I check for the name, the result is empty, but is should hole as it's what I can see in the browser. then I change it to default.The result of that, the representation views disappear from the browser for that occurrence and still, the name is return as empty...then I carry on with turning on the hidden occurrences.

objCol.Add(checkocc)
dv.SetVisibilityOfOccurrences(objCol, visibility)

The result, all the hidden occurrence appear ALSO on the other subassemblies... It look that it's affecting all the Designview of all occurrence of that name...then, if I try the reverse, by turning it off... the switch off on the other occurrences but not the one that is checkoff!!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Drawing Curves From Occurrence (C#)

Dec 26, 2012

In a drawing I'm looking for components that have a certain iProperty.  If they have the iProperty, I want to turn every occurrence of that item red.

I can get the occurrences fine, but I'm unable to properly get the drawing curves so I can turn them red.  I'm using code from this post on ModTheMachine: [URL]........

Here's my
 
private static void ProcessAssemblyColor(DrawingDocument aDoc, ComponentOccurrences occurrences){ foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in occurrences) { if (occ.DefinitionDocumentType == DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject) { TransientObjects transObjects = StandardAddInServer._mInventorApplication.TransientObjects; LayersEnumerator layers = aDoc.StylesManager.Layers; Layer colorLayer = layers[1]; colorLayer.Color = transObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0); //red [code]........

 I've seen some things say I need to use an out object to use DrawingCurves.  If that's true, I'm not sure what to put for the first variable.

object outObject;DrawingCurvesEnumerator drawingCurves = drawView.DrawingCurves[occ.CreateGeometryProxy(whatgoeshere?, out outObject)];

AutoCAD Inventor :: Occurrence - Specific BOM Properties

Apr 30, 2013

Is it possible to set BOM properties for a specific occurrence of a component, rather than have universal properties for every occurrence of that component in every assembly?

Two instances come to mind:

1. I have two identical occurrences of a part in an assembly. One is already existing at the site, the other we are providing. I want one to show up in the BOM, and not the other. I don't want to have multiple part files to keep up with, as they are identical.

2. Similarly, I have a part that shows up in two assemblies; in one assembly it is existing, in the other it is new. I want it to show up in the BOM for the second assembly, but in the first I want it to be "phantom" or "reference".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Replace File And Modify Occurrence Name

Sep 10, 2012

I need to rename and replace occurences in an assembly, then modify the occurence name.I rename and replace only Farme generator components, which is tested by <condiftion>.What I want to do :

- Num = ABC
- Original filename = toto.ipt
- New filename = ABC_toto.ipt, and Occurence name = ABC_toto

The code :

fileDir contain the file path
docFName contain the original file name (for example, toto.ipt)
Num contain the prefix to add to the name and the occurence name (for example, ABC)
If <condition>Then

                            New_name = fileDir & Num & "_" & docFName
                            Call oFileNameOcc.SaveAs(New_name, True)
                            Call oOccurrence.Replace(New_name, False)
                            oOccurrence.name = Num & "_" & oOccurrence.name
End If

The problem is, the first time I use the macro, the prefix is added twice in the occurence name (the filename is ok) : I obtain ABC_ABC_toto. This happen only the first time, and only on an orrignal Frame Generator assembly.

If I use the macro again, with for example Num = 123, the result is : 123_ABC_ABC_toto.Where is the problem ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Trigger Place Component Triad For Any Occurrence

Oct 21, 2013

I love the new triad function when placing a new part in Inventor 2014: I am now searching to trigger the same function for a part that already has been placed. 

Something like:

1) select component

2) press a button (triggers the macro I now want to write)

3) the triad pops up.

I searched true the Inventor Help & what's new in the API. But didn't find any reference to that command. So I am afraid that it is not yet in the API. Could I maybe emulate it by replacing a component with itself using the place component command + emulating a mouseclick at the same origin as the original piece?

So a piece of code like:

1) get filelocation of selected part

2) get the origin point (x,y,z) of the part

3) get the translation between the origin of the assembly and the part

4) delete the selected part

5) place the part using the place component command (so the triad has been triggered)

6) fill in the filelocation, origin & translation

7) give control back to the user so he can move the part using the triad.

I have several parts that are controlled by ilogic rules linked to member names ,and in some cases some of staff run the productivity bonus tool (rename browser nodes) to either file name or part number.

This causes the rules to fail as rules definition name have been overwritten.

I am after a simple rule that is triggered on save to save my occurrence browser name to what originally was defined

Dim Browsername As String = Plywood 01

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Component Occurrence Definition?

Sep 28, 2012

I have a simple code below trying to iterate through all the assembly component and copy the iProperties > Occurrece Name (i.e. "Part1:1") and paste it to iProperties > Project tab > Part Number field for each individual part in assembly.

' set a reference to the assembly component definintion.
' This assumes an assembly document is open.
Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition

'Iterate through all of the occurrences
Dim oOccurrence As ComponentOccurrence
For Each oOccurrence In oAsmCompDef.Occurrences
Dim oName As String
oName = oOccurrence.Name
iProperties.Value(oOccurrence.Name, "Project", "Part Number") = oName
MessageBox.Show(oOccurrence.Name, "iLogic")
Next 

The Debug message shows the correct output for every iteration, but when I check each part's properties they all have the Occurrence Name of the last part in the aseembly.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Change Parameters In Part Occurrence Inside Assembly

Sep 5, 2013

I have an assembly which contains a CComPtr<ComponentOccurrence> pThisCompOcc , and I'd like to do two things.
 
Get the name of the "base" object, not the display name of the occurence Change the model and user parameter values of the occurrence I suspect that I need to find the function or method which gives me a CComPtr<PartComponentDefinition> pPartCompDef which the occurrence points to for the Q1, but what about Q2?

Presumably the parameters are associated with the Component Occurrence and the "real" name is associated with the Part Component Definition?
