The attached part has multiple holes in multiple locations...... I want to show in the .idw one set "row" around the circumference at a time.
So I want to show set one, how far in from the end of the tube, then how many and at what degrees around the 360*. to do this i can only suppress the other features right now.
so when I make another View those same parts are suppressed and i cant change it around otherwise it messes with the holes I want and don't want to show in the previous view.
Somehow my top level assembly shows the UCS triads for hundreads of my parts (but not all of them). I know I didn't turn the visibility of all these UCS triads on manually. Now I cannot get them to turn off.
When I toggle the visibility status of a few and save the file they come back when the file is reopened.
Note, they are NOT visibile in their respective part files, just in my top level assembly.
In Inventor dwgs when I turn the visibility of the harness assembly off (the icon turns gray) the harness still remains visible in the View on the dwg. My co-worker is having the same problem. This is happening on several different inventor dwgs where the harness is not visible (the visibility is turned off) but once an edit is made to the assembly (such as making a part visible) the harness becomes visible even the the visibility is turned off in that View. I don't know if this is related to the recent installation of service pack 4 for inventor 2010 as this problem recently began occurring.
It happens sometimes, when I try to turn off the visibility of a part in a created view, the option is grayed out, can't uncheck visibility. Whats the reason?
I have three sketches. Two are 2D sketches and the third is a 3D sketch created by the intersection of two surfaces created from the previous two 2D sketches. The order of the browser is as follows:
Sketch1 Sketch2
Revolution (surface) Extrusion (surface)
3D Sketch 1
When I go back to edit Sketch 2, Sketch 1 is always showing...regardless of whether or not I turn on/off visibility. The visibility toggle has no effect. Sketch 2 has no projected geometry from Sketch 1.
I have an assembly that was generated by Pro/E. It opens fine, but there are roughly 1000+ planes that are all visible. Is there a way to easily shut these all off whithout having to do it in each part?
At my company when producing drawings for manufacture we require a sheet for any steel profiles to be cut!..We do this by selecting the assembly from base view,hitting model view tab, selecting presentation and choosing the relevant profile from the drop down!
Once the profile is placed, we highlight the view and hit the parts list tab which obviously creates a parts list, but for the whole assembly, we then have to edit the parts list by turning off the visibility of the lines of all the parts which are not relevant!!...as you can imagine this is quite a laborious task if you have 50 different profiles.
The reason for this is to show the qty, steel grade and part number to the suppliers. My question is, any code that will take the lines of the parts list that are not relevant to the selected view and turn the visibility of those lines off?
I've managed to cobble this code together to turn some sketch visibilities on and off. However, what I'd really like to do is have a single sketch containing some blocks, and turn the visibility of the blocks on and off... How to call the blocks -
'Iterate through the sketches collection'Turn the edging indicators On And Off For Each oSketch In oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches Select Case oSketch.NameCase "Front Edged"If E01 = True Then oSketch.Visible = TrueElse oSketch.Visible = FalseEnd IfCase "Top Edged"If E02 = True Then oSketch.Visible = TrueElse oSketch.Visible = FalseEnd IfCase "Back Edged"If E03 = True Then oSketch.Visible = TrueElse oSketch.Visible = FalseEnd IfCase "Base Edged"If E04 = True Then oSketch.Visible = TrueElse oSketch.Visible = FalseEnd IfEnd SelectNext
Since changing to Inventor I seem to be unable to turn off visibility of parts in assemblies on a drawing. Usually I just expand the view in the browser then right click on parts and turn off visibility. When I try this the visibility option is grey.
It's 2012. I haven't found a setting in the dim style or the RMB options to turn off the extension line. I saw the posts showing drawing a sketch in the view but come on, all that to just turn off the line?
I'm just looking for some basic information about geo-markers and am having a hard time finding anything. What exactly is the geo-marker, and what is it used for? Is it important to have referenced? I know how to set the coordinates and to turn the visibility off. I'm just wanting info about what the geo-marker is, and it's uses.
Ive got like 300 layers, one of them being my main picture...this layer is all the way up in my list. When Im working on the bottom layers, I Have to scroll AAAAALLL the way up to turn on/off the visibility for that layer.. Is there a way to do this without scrolling up or down all the time?
I'm using BIMLink to adjust parameters in a model... If a dimension ends up being zero, is there a way for me to have conditional formatting to turn off visibility of a dimension with a zero value?
I am trying to tag doors in a drawing. What I want to see is the door size, so I turn on 'width' parameter, and turn visibility off on the border of the text. Change the size of the text to match, easy enough. Now I want to place the text along the open door in the floor plan view, but the tag always jumps to the center of the door frame. Can this be modified to do as I want? is there an alignment parameter I can alter? Perhaps tagging the door family and aligning it in the family editor? Does Revit is capable of doing this. Until then, I have to place the text for each individual door.
I am realtively good with actionscript, so I am trying my hand at this to streamline our image exporting process. I am using CS5 on a PC.
We build our illustrator files to be a combination of different layers. Sometimes just one layer is exported at a time, and sometimes layers are combined to form a more complex image. We use layer names with instructions of what layers should be on and off.
An example of the layer naming might look like this:
03 (01-ON, 02-OFF) 02 (01-OFF) 01
I have been able to figure out how to check if there is a note to turn a layer on, my question is how do I select the layer to turn on the visibility without using the exact name of the layer?
In my example, when layer 3 gets exported, it should have layer "01" visible and layer "02 (01-OFF)" not visible. Since our files are always constructed differently (meaning 02 might not always have a note about 01 being off), I can't use the getByName option because I don't have an exact name to call the layer and turn the visibility on. The layers always start with 01, 02, 03, etc. Is there a way to use getByName and only have it look at the first 2 characters of the layer name?
While making a drawing and there is something which I want to turn visibilty of for a while, I will select from a sub-menu "Visibility" (see the attachment) But what I must do if I want to turn the visibility on again for example to that hole shown in screen shot?
The client I have has 1 seat of factory Ultimate and 8 seats of factory premium.
The issue is the premium seats have an issue when you turn the visibility off on a part in the IPN you cannot turn it back on. This is on all the seats of the premium. There is no issue with Ultimate.
The service pack did not fix the issue. Now I know Autodesk there will never be a fix for this unless I up-grade seems to be the Autodesk way in the past 3 years.
Did something change in 2013 as far as the way surfaces are displayed in an idw? the surfaces always always had to be "included" in a idw view. now they come in as regular geometry.

I want to turn off visibility of certain parts in an overlay view but when I right click on the parts or the view(s) the visibility is greyed out. Why does this happen and how can I correct it?

1. created a turbine whose blades are made from some planes that I applied thicken offset command. I applied circular pattern to multiply the blade around center point but i get too many planes and i must to make invisible each one. How can i make invisible all planes in the same time.
2. After i make them invisibile i exit from that part but when i start that part again or when i place it in an assembly all planes are visible. What should i do to make them invisible for ever.
I sometimes edit parts in assemblies. When I turn sketch visibility on or off it does not stay the way I left it. I should be able to edit a part in part view or assembly and the view setting off or on should be how it was last saved. If I saved an ipt with the vision it should be on in any & all assemblies it lives in but its not. I have noticed the difference in new version 2012 - 2011 was no problem.
How to manage the visibity of parts on a particular view? For example, in a view there 10 parts appeared. I would like to make only selected parts visible on the said view.
I have the manual steps on how to hide them but when I try to code it using the said step, the parts on the model file were hidden not in the view.
I use oView.ReferenceDocumentDescriptor.ReferenceDocument in traversing the parts but this refers to the model file.
Here is my
Set ViewDocument = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences If Not nozzleName = ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then ViewOccurence.Visible = False End If Next
How to manage the visibility of components in a particular view?
In attach file,View 2 is a detail view of view 1. On view 2, I want to display only the nozzle (Drain (H):1) and shell (C1306388341:1) component. So I need to set the visibility of the other component to false.When I try to code this, the components of model file of view 1 was updated not the view.
Set ViewDocument = oDetailView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument For Each ViewOccurence In ViewDocument.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences If nozzleName <> ViewOccurence.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.DisplayName Then ViewOccurence.Visible = False End If Next
The reference document I set for my code is not the document which contains the view 2. So I need to the actual reference document where view 2 belongs which is in the box of view 2 that contains 5 components.
I am trying to control the layer visibility on different sheets of the same drawing but have not quite figured it out yet.
We add a DXF sheet to drawings with flat pattern views to export to DXF for our laser. I wrote a VBA macro that adds the sheet, copies the flat pattern view and removes the dimensions to clean it up before creating the DXF. I am having a problem turning off the visibility of the bend lines on JUST the DXF sheet. I can turn bend lines and hidden lines off with this:
'Turn off bend lines and hidden linesFor Each oView In oSheet.DrawingViews 'Set the layers collection Set oLayers = oDrawingDoc.StylesManager.Layers 'Turn off all bend lines and hidden lines For Each oLayer In oLayers If Not InStr(oLayer.Name, "Bend Centerline") = 0 Or Not InStr(oLayer.Name, "Hidden") = 0 Then oLayer.Visible = False Else End If Next Next
but it turns them off on all sheets. I want to only turn them off on the DXF sheet. How would this be done?
