AutoCAD Inventor :: Unit Of Dimensions
Feb 14, 2012tmpApp.UnitsOfMeasure.GetStringFromType(Inventor.UnitsTypeEnum.kCentimeterLengthUnits)
returns "zentimeter"
Is there also a function which returns the unit sign "cm" ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Imperial Dimensions Using Unit String

Jun 28, 2012I'm trying to add a new unit's type for a specific drawing.
Is there any way to add one with its corresponding calculation parameter?

The End result is to display a " Symbol after the first Units instead of the in unit (see enclose picture that i manipulated to display the end desired result).
AutoCAD Inventor :: Where Can Get SI Unit (mm / Cm / M) Basic Files
Apr 12, 2013I downloaded student version Autodesk Inventor 2012 a few month ago. When I start the inventor and go to OPEN, I had the standard options in both inches and millimeters.
BUT someone I work with kind of deleted all my SI unit settings on my computer (thought that we will never use it cuz we are in America...) and now when I want to make something new, i only have Inch options to choose from.
Now I need to make something that is in millimeters, but when I go to File> OPEN, I only have standard options in INCHes....
Should I delete my current Inventor and Download a new one? OR Can I download a folder or file that contains all the SI unit ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Unit Structure Within CC Editor
Mar 18, 2013I created a couple of Unistrut structural member and published them to the CC.
Once they were in the CC I setup the proper code allowing these members when placed in an assembly to show up as shown in the parts list.
Now sometimes when the member is an odd length it will show up with the decimal places in the part number (i.e. P1001--46.621) This is fine when it comes to the part number showing up as a decimal. In the description we are now wanting to show this in fractional form such that 46.621 in the part number shows up as 46-5/8 in the description.
When I edit the family table for these members, specifically the columns that house this coding, I am not seeing anywhere on how to change this. Does this can be done and if so what the coding is to accomplish this? Without changing the global units of the drawing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unit Display In Title Block
Apr 23, 2013Below is a code I managed to scramble together to display the unit used in the drawing template. The units are selected once the drawing is opened based the Standards ANSI and ANSI-mm from the styles library.
The code displays the units used in template as a custom iproperty called "drawingUNITS". This code works great however, I would like it if possible to be more clearer to the shop guys looking at the drawings.
I would the result to be
ANSI = Imperial (or inches) and ANSI-mm = Metric
is there somewhere in the code provided that I can get my desired result?
' To use this rule, create a Text parameter named Standard in the drawing.' Assign it values such as:
' ANSI' ANSI-mmdoc = ThisDoc.DocumentcustomPropertySet = doc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties") 'Make sure drawingUNITS property existsTry prop = customPropertySet.Item("drawingUNITS")Catch 'Assume error means not found customPropertySet.Add("", "drawingUNITS")End TryDim drawingDoc as DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.DocumentFor Each standardX In [code].......

AutoCAD Inventor :: Inserted Hole Dimensions Not Matching Feature Dimensions
Mar 16, 2012I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.

How do I get the 1/4" to show? I have selected the feature and still get these results.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Equation Driven Curve - Unit Error
Nov 27, 2013I would like to create an equation driven curve with inventor. I have no problems plotting the function in a plotter, however, inventor won't accept my equation. It gives me the error message, saying: "The equation contains unit errors". I'm using the explicit equations.That's the bare equation:
"y=sqr(2)*16.5/2/sqr(pi)*sqr(arccos(1-2*x/50)-(sin(2*arccos(1-2*x/50))/2))"
I modified it, inserting variables which I defined also in inventor, leading to this:
"sqrt(2)*height/2/sqrt(PI)*sqrt(acos(1-2*t/length)-sin(2*acos(1-2*t/length))/2))"
But both equations are not accepted by inventor due to unit errors. In this design, I'm using the metric system, millimeters, so I don't understand why and how I have to redefine this for the equation in order to get it working.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Make A View Showing Motor Jack Screw Unit
Sep 16, 2013I'm trying to make a view showing a motor-jackscrew unit with the jackscrew at the fully retracted position and also with the jackscrew at the fully extended position (in phantom). Refer to the attachment.
My initial plan was to have two views in the drawing, one retracted and one extended, and then just align them vertically and horizontally. But it turns out that you can only align vertically OR horizontally, not both at the same time. So I created an assembly of two iAssemblies, one with the screw extended and one retracted. Then I made the drawing view from the direction that placed the extended assembly directly behind the retracted assembly.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Control Frame Edit Unit Attributes Use Standards Notation
Apr 3, 2012Autodesk Inventor 2010 - How do I set default for "use standards notation" to off or unchecked in the "Edit Unit Attributes" dialog box for feature control frames? I want to do this because the Feature Control Frame style unit setting does not override it as I believe it should. This causes an extra value within the tolerance box of the feature control frame if the Standard General units differ from the style’s primary units.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Remove Iproperty Mass Unit String From Mass Value In Text String?
Oct 3, 2011I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!
AutoCAD Inventor :: STL Does Not Have Same Dimensions At IPT

It seems like most people were able to solve their problem by clicking on options but even that seems like it is not working for me.

Jan 25, 2012I am dimensions moving around in my drawing files and I am trying to figure out why they do this. I change one little thing on my models, open the drawing, then spend 30 minutes going over every dimension in comparison to the old drawing trying to find all the ones that moved erratically and put them back where they were. Most of the dimensions that move don't have anything to do with the change I made to the model.
For example, the dimension in this picture used to be on the other side of the other extension line, and it was never that close to the geometry:
