AutoCAD Inventor :: Suppressing Edit Property Fields Dialog Box?
Oct 26, 2006
IV11 SP2, Vaulted project.
I have several drawing templates that have prompted entry field text in the border and bring some model properties in the block. Problem is, if any change in the model properties occurs, this dialog box pops up EVERY TIME I return to the drawing, when changes in the model properties have nothing to do with the border. I have just checked and IV10 SP3a does not suffer from this behaviour. For me, this is an unnecessary dialog that pops up without being required to do so, and is time consuming - it takes extra mouse/keyboard clicks to dismiss and up to 10 seconds for it to close after being dismissed.
Is there an option to turn this off? (I've checked the Options >> Prompts tab, but there's nothing there)

I am using a symbol that includes a several text boxes. Each text box includes "prompted text" and "drawing properties". When I insert the symbol onto a drawing, the "Edit Property Fields" menu appears. In this menu, I can input my prompted field text or see the various "drawing properties".
My question is, how do I change the order that these property fields are displayed? It seems as if it depends on the order that the text boxes were created while defining the symbol definition. Is there any other way to change the display order?

it's possible to have a standard text filled in the "Authorization" and "Organization", so that I don't have to enter the same text each time I want to export a STEP file.

Just installed AutoCad 2012 and I have the Property Dailog Box open. I anchor it to the left side of the drawing screen and "Lock" all toolbars in place. When I get out and go back into Autocad, the dailog box is still locked, but it is in the middle of the drawing screen.

If I double click a workplane in the browser, the edit dimension dialog comes up half way off screen, does not remember the screen position if I move it, so it has to be repositioned every time. Seems to be tied to the browser position.

when in simulation, if you suppress a feature is it totally taken out of the simulations workings?
I.e. if I was working on a project like some weighing scales and I had a load of objects on the scales and I then suppressed some of the objects, will the scales rise up a little to counteract the reduced weight?

I am working on an Inventor Studio animation and have noticed a problem. It appears that it is not possible to suppress/enable translational constraints. My assembly has a translational constraint that I suppressed in order to “explode” the assembly. I am animating the assembly process. Once it is put back together, I need to enable the suppressed translational constraint in order for the model to function properly.
I thought about recording two animations and then splicing the two videos together, but I am worried about the transition. I really need it to be a smooth transition in order to work.

Currently I have to open dwg file each time I need to change the stall number or name. I use Fields so I only need to edit 1 field per file.
This becomes an issue as I have excel files linked, and I have to re-link them all after changing the stall numbers.
Multiply this by 20-30+++ files, and I have a big headache.
Is there an easier way to edit the Fields for ALL files and to update the links to renamed excel files?

I often use multiple versions of components in my assemblies so I can validate the top level assy works in all it's expected configurations. To that end, if I have different versions of component A, I supress all except the version I am working with. I have discovered though, that supressing the component does not supress the contraints that component has to an unsupressed component in the assy.
The purpose of suppressing something is to essentially eliminate it from existance without deleting it from the file so it can be brought back quickly in all its glory.If I have to track down every contraint there is for a supressed component and supress them independently, that is an incredible consumption of time.

I have a sheet set that i have been adding sheets to for a couple weeks and inserting fields to reference page numbers and titles. I installed service pak2 today and now all of a sudden I am not able to insert fields. I get an AutoCAD warning that says " there are no registered modules to edit fields or demand loading is currently disabled. I have not changed a single setting other then loading service pak. This sheet set is over a 150pgs right now.

I am working on an iLogic assembly configurator that manipulates several skeletal parts, and suppresses both standard and skeletal parts depending on the configuration.
I've been using the Component.IsActive function to suppress all omitted parts, which has prompted me to create a custom Level of Detail. This hasn't caused me much grief until I had completed ~10months of work when it was time for me to make my final assembly drawing and a parts list.I am now running into several deal-breaking issues:
1) Suppressed parts insist on appearing on the Parts List.
2) Saving the assembly drawing reverts my assembly model to the "Master" LOD, which I never, ever, ever want to see again so long as I live.
Is there another workflow or technique that I should be using to turn off unwanted components in an assembly? I understand that LOD's are really intended to manage system resources, but Inventor users seem to be left with no other option to display a skeletal assembly in a certain configuration. What is the point of the Component.IsActive function if it doesn't update your assembly (at least so far as the Parts List is concerned)?
If I am left to deal with the nightmare that is the Inventor LOD, is there any way to set up the Parts List to reference the custom LOD?
Drawing View reps don't seem to be an option, as it looks like there is no way to automatically update the same custom view after the configuration has been made. The iAssembly Include/Exclude feature would handle part inclusion and BOM behavior nicely, but it won't fit into the rest of my iLogic and file management program.

I'm trying to use the Level of Detail function to add a hole feature in a sub assembly that will be used in 2 places inside the main assembly, but the sub assembly is present in many other location and does not need this hole. My thought is to have the master level of detail depict the hole feature and have another level of detail with this hole suppressed.I can't get the two levels of detail to save the desired outcome. When I switch LODs, the hole feature will not suppress or unsuppress as desired. Is this possible or am I doing something wrong.

company needs a very elaborate parts list on the drawings regarding different custom properties of parts (so I created new parts to easily add these custom columns...without screwing up parts in the content center somehow).
I needed to get things up and running quick so I imported a good handful of bolts and nuts from McMaster Carr.
the threading on the bolts is so detailed that it's really cluttering up the drawing views with extra line geometry (basically black blobs wherever bolt threads or hidden bolt threads are located)...is there any way to lower the detail of objects, say just to show the outline of the bolt and it's "perimeter" thread outline...but not show the individual threading across a bolts face?

I am trying to suppress features or Extrusions if the extrusions are outside of the Raduis of a contruction circle Called the OTL. I have added a model to look at. So lets say I have holes enougth for a 40" dia but I want only hole today for a 20" dia how do i suppress the holes on that radius. Sketch 10 is where the OTL contruction line is and its a radius so its always moving as I go from center out.

Inventor 2013..I am trying to show a part in a drawing of three different configurations of a casting:
1) Rough as received from the foundry
2) Partially machined or rough machined
3) Final machined
What is the most basic bullet-proof way to show this? Three different models?What is the procedure to change the representation to show changes in the model?Why does suppressing a machining feature in one representation change all representations?The rough part is brought into an assembly and the machining or removal of material happens in the assembly.

When I try to suppress the bodies in the multi-bodies part to clarify the drawing view, I can not do that the way I normally do that if I had an assembly and suppressed the component.
Is it something Autodesk can improve on or rather something I overlook.

I've been up and down the forums looking for some direction or programming code for this to no avail.
What I'd like to do is edit a table where the cells are populated with fields. I'd like to copy the last row of the table to a new row (fields and all), then change the fields of the row I copied FROM to text, and lock those cells.
I'd like to copy this row including the fields to a new row beneath it. Then edit the cells of the first row to change the fields to text, and then finally lock the cells of the first row so that only the new row would update when the field properties change. Eventually they will be populated with data from the Vault..

I'm trying to develop a help wanted ad, which can be used by several of our franchises. Would like to know how I can make certain fields within the add able to be edited such as location address and phone number and have it in a PDF format so the format can not be changed or altered. Can someone step me through the process?

In previous version of AutoCAd 2008 (or earlier) the images dialog to edit the images (i.e., brightness, sharpness, etc, it has been a long time and I forgot what they were, but they were there and with many options) was obvious, versatile, and very easily found then, but I could not find it in AutoCAD 2012.
how to get it in AutoCAD 2012?

Is there any way to make print merge fields relative in position to other fields or to non-variable text.
For example if I am doing address labels and I have fields for City and State:
Their positions are absolute, and the state ends up overwriting the city for long city text, as does the comma.
What I want is for the comma to follow the last letter of the city, and then state to follow that.
And yes, I realize that I can combine all three into one field, but I am asking this as a general usage of the feature. One doesn't always have control over the source.

We have recently migrated our production work to Autodesk Inventor. We have a condition or rather a requirement to constantly keep a check on the iProperties of a part while in an Assembly file.
So I thought the best way to do so is to have a form which float's in one of the corners of the screen and updates the fields based on the item selected. Is this possible?
We mostly have parts one level below the assembly, occasionally we have them as a sub-assembly.
