AutoCAD Inventor :: Text Size In Dimensions Of Sketch Small In 2012?

View 1 RepliesI have several name plates which are embossed, and only the description changes from job to job, but find it a nuisance having to go into the part,edit sketch then edit text! each time I want to change the description .
I was initially going to get round this by creating a form and linking it to the text parameter! But for some reason it won't take in the text parameter I created and will only find and take in numerical parameters?
Is there any way around this? I know it is possible in inventor 2013. I am currently working with Inventor professional 2012.
Is there any way to change the size of dimension text in sketch? My students cannot see the dimension when I demonstrate the sketch.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble changing the dimension text size of any 2d or 3d sketch..
the default has changed for some reason (i might have accidentally changed it while looking for something the other day) but i need to know how to change it back.. I can't do anything without a dimension getting in the way!
How do I increase the size of the text of dimensions in sketch mode.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis code works with no errors but does not change the text size. A user can over ride the text size (Font size) so I'm hoping it is possible thru code.
Dim oSketch As Inventor.Sketch
Set oSketch = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches("Sketch1")
Dim oText As Inventor.TextBox
Set oText = oSketch.TextBoxes.AddByRectangle(pnt1, pnt2)
oText.Style.FontSize = 0.1
How do I change one of the dimensions in my sketch to be metric while maintaining the rest as a standard dimensions?
See attached pic.
One of our senior designers seems to think there is a setting when creating a sketch that will automatically dimension.
So if a straight line is draw and 5 mm length is entered a 5 mm line will immedialtey be created, he seems to think that you can then immedialtey Dimension said line??
I can't find anything, settings wise?
I need to create skech symbols to illustrate mounting schemes, so without scale. I need to put dimensions in the symbol, which are only annotation, not parametric. This dimension must be visible once the symbol inserted on the sheet.
When I create the dimension in the sketch, it is always a paramertric dimension, which drve the drawing and is not visible in the inserted symbol.. How can I do to have only an annotation ? (I precise the option "sketch only" does not function on dimensions)
I would like to use Workplanes a little more in my model, as I am having problems with sketches failing when the model is changed slightly. I guess this comes down to the way the original parts have been modeled - dimensions for features taken off other features, which are not necessarily constant.
I have found it possible to project the workplane on the sketch, although this does not constrain the projected plane, it is free to move around.
I typically have a part file with bunch of sketch blocks as die drawings.I use those for rest of my workflow.
If I want to make drawings of these sections.
Is there a way by which I can retieve all dimensions from the sketch of the sketch blocks (die) on to a drawing.
I know that I can get model sketches but I do not know a way to get the model sketch dimensions.

Since day 1 when I place a dimension in sketch mode, it immediately goes to edit so I can type the number in. Suddenly yesterday it stopped editing and I have to click a few more times to type the number in. It's totally messing up my work flow and whatnot. The option in application options is checked as well.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, things in my inventor sketches are approximately double normal size - the UCS symbol, dimensions, constraint symbols. The UCS icon stays oversize regardless of the environment.
I went into Application Options, Sketch tab, and changed the Constraint and DOF symbol scale but it has no effect in the sketch environment. It's not confined to a single part or assembly and I have not, to my knowledge, changed any Windows or other Inventor setting.
I feel like I've stumbled into the Readers Digest Large Print edition of Inventor. How to control the size of these things?
(in Inventor) sometimes I am beset with a problem that I want to edit my sketch but sketch members like line(s),circle(s) are moving to dimensions which I don't want. The sketch is moving. How can I overcome this problem,
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn 5.3 I can create reference dimensions in sketch mode to my hearts content. They became very valuable as I would use them to determine placement of multiple features. Now, in IV 7, I have alot of trouble creating reference dimensions from adjacent features on the same surface. I have to change the way I'm working now and it has stumped me on a few occasions. is there a "new" feature I need to enable or is this the cost of progress?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making a part and am adding features to it and using my existing sketch dimensions as my guide. The problem is that when there are sketch dimensions on the face of the part, they are difficult to read. I'm forever dragging these dims to the side in order to read them, it's just a bit annoying. I was wonering if there was a setting that made them show up as well as they do when the aren't sitting on the face of my parts. I've attached a .jpg of what I'm talking about. notice the dimension on the left side and the bottom.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was giving a hand drawn wiring diagram (original.jpg) and it is a rats nest!!
I was asked to re-draw this and put it on our drawing template.
I have the plugs and terminal blocks drawn up and now I am about to attempt to add in the wires, but the sketch is so filled with dimension lines and values, it is going to be a task to try and make sure every line I draw is correct. This would be much easier to do if the dimensions could be turned off as the wires I am drawing will not be constrained.
I don't think there is layers options inside a sketch mode, or a if i start a new sketch I don't think I can project that sketch to the new one?
The only other options I can think of was to delete all dimensions and apply FIX constraint to everything! or
I guess I could have modeled the plugs and blocks in position and added them to the drawing, projected the geometry to a new sketch and added in my wires??
There must be someway to toggle the dimensions??

It freezes the screen like the window is open but no window on the screen, almost like it opens off of the screen where you can not see it, the program has been reinstalled but still have the same problem.

its annoying to make changes to a sketch and constantly have to re orient the part after finishing a sketch, I dont want the solid model to return to iso view after sketching, is there a setting for this?
I need converting imperial dimensions into metric in assembly as weell as part level sketches dimensions.
Any solution for converting all imperial dimensions to metric dimensions in whole assembly constraint level and as well as part level sketch dimensions. Any macros or any ilogic rules?
No matter what I do, the text in my photoshop(7.0) stays microscopic.
I have to make it 288pt just to appear to be what's normally 8pts.
If I zoom in on a small detail in a large sketch and then issue the "edit sketch" command Inventor changes the view to where the origin is visible on the screen. Is it possible to disable this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to export and save numerous Inventor Assembly Models, to send to various customers to import into their models. I have been saving them as .stp files, but they are very large files after exporting, and I'd like to know if there is a way to decrease the exported file size. I could zip them after I create them, but I was hoping there was an easier way or different format than .stp. I could also suppress numerous internal componants, but I would rather not have to go through that task either. In the end, they would really only require the outer shell, with any externally viewed holes still present.
