I noticed just lately, if I update the height of the text in my IDW through Styles Editor, not all the text in the document updates? Why would this be? All the text is under the text style "Instruction Text", but when I update the text height in the Instruction text style, only some of the text updates and I have to manually update all the rest?

I am using CS2 on a XP64 machine. I am editing a .psd originally created in Photoshop 7 but saved under a different file name in CS2.When I open the file, a dialog box with this text appears: "Some text layers need to be updated before they can be used for vector output. Do you want to update these layers now?" The options are No and Update. Updating the layers changes all the text layers from font "Times New Roman" to "Radioactive", which I'm sure isn't a standard installed font. To avoid the problem in future edits, I saved the .psd under a different name through CS2 and then deleted all the offending text layers and recreated them using "Times New Roman" again. However, after saving the file and reopening it, I get the same problem as before. Should I perhaps delete the "Radioactive" font? I'd really rather not have to enter all the text in again.

I am using window 7 with 8 gb of ram and an I7 with a 1GB graphics card.
The issue is with another users computer with AutoCAD 2008LT, When placing a leader balloon; the font seems to appear larger then the block looks like its rescaling, i explode the block and the font goes to proper size.
I have tried different fonts in 'circle source block' the issue has not gone away, I don't seem to have this issue with 2009lt on my PC.
I have loaded Autocad 2013 and the the font size for the menubar at the top is very large. When I added 5 of my own menus to it, it now wraps around to another line. The Autocad 2012 let me get my extra menus in because the font size was much smaller.

I am using Mech 2007. I have created a template to use with new drawings, and want to know if there is a way to update all the drawings at the same time when updating the template.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are overlaying a word or two on jpg's. In the settings bar along the top, the font is set to 8pt.That has worked seamlessly, for some time. Suddenly, though the pt setting is not changed, the actual text over the photo is larger - much too large to fit. But changing the pt setting to a lower number still results in something too large.
Â
is the sudden change in outcome, when there has been no change in the setting. And no ability to get a correct font size.This is in Ps CS4, on Mac 10.6.8. I have checked the font in Font Book (Myriad Pro), and no corruption appears for the font.
Is there a correlation between the font size I use in an Excel spread sheet & the font size on the imported table on the drawing? My spread sheet font size is 8 point. I seem to recall that a point is 1/72" so my 8 point text should be 0.111" high on the drawing. When I import the table I get text that is 0.0556" high - looks like half the height of my spread sheet text. I tried doubling the spread sheet text to 16 point hoping it would end up half size on my drawing (0.111") but this time it is 0.125" high. The scaling of imported table text is inconsistent. I know I can change the properties of the drawing table to get what I want but it would be easier if there was a fixed relationship between Excel & AutoCAD table text height.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a layer of lables for a drawing that all have 1" text, and I want to change all the text to 1.5", without having to scale them individually. There must be some way to select the layer and do a global adjustment of the text font?
I'm surprised I'm not finding this in the menu's, etc.Since I need each text to scale properly from it's own location, I cannot simply scale everything from one base point.
I have just installed IV 2013 Pro and I am having some issues with changes in the IPN transferring to the IDW. I changed the colour of a part in an assembly which transferred fine to the IPN, but the IDW did not update. I have tried turing off the visibility of the part in the browser in the IDW, then turning it on again, selecting the associative icon in the drawing view dialogue box, but still the view will not update. I even tried re-inserting the IPN in the IDW, still the colour had not updated. This is unacceptable. I do not have time to re-create all the IPN's.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Inventor 2013 and if I change the model of a part in the assembly, the IPN updates but the IDW views do not? Why is this happening all of a sudden? I tried unselecting and re-selecting the "associative" icon in the "Edit view" dialogue box but still no change?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the title block of a my layout template I have tables inserted for revisions, drawing type, numbering etc. I have type already inserted in those blocks that I typically click on and then type in what I need it to say. My template works on all my other drawings except a particular one that I am currently working on.
When I click on the type, it automatically increases from 3/16" to 8" and enlarges the box to accommodate the new font size.
I've attached a screen. The top is before I click on the word "type" in the lower right corner and the bottom one is afterward.
I have a drawing of a part that I want to change the dimensions many times.
When I edit the length and width in the part, the drawing updates automatically.
But is it possible to update the pdf file (of drawing) automatically after editing the dimensions in part?
 Or do I have to update (save as to pdf) everytime I create a new dimensions?
I have crated a drawing of the part. Now I must be updating the drawing template. How I can update the drawing templates to old drawings?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly with approx. 200 unique parts. Most of them derrived from a common skeleton-file. And some (you could say a lot) iLogic code.
Depending on how big changes one makes, it takes between 10 sec and 60 sec to update. Considering the complexity this is ok.
But the problem is that it is difficult for the user to tell if the update is complete. I have tried to have the last line in my driving rule to show a messagebox: "Updating done". But the messagebox fires to early, and pauses the remaining updating. Even if I call InventorVb.Rebuild and/or ThisDoc.Document.Rebuild in advance.
I've got two pieces with 11/16" diameter holes for 5/8" bolts.
When I use Bolted Connection to place nut/bolt in the hole, it detects the 11/16" hole and sizes the bolt to look for 11/16" bolts. There aren't any 11/16" bolts so the window shows no bolts. I have to manually choose 5/8" for the bolt size in order to get a list of bolts to choose from. In my reading, i was thinking this was supposed to have been fixed by 2010, is that not correct?
Also, in testing another theory, after placing the bolted connection andt then editing the bolt size to 7/16" or 1 13/16" in diameter. The bolt doesn't update it's size to reflect the change in the hole. Is there really no correlation here? Is a manual change to existing bolts, nuts, washers, etc going to be necessary if the hole size changes? If i change the thickness of the plate(s) the bolt is going through, using autosolve updates the bolt length, but nothing seems to be checking the diameter of the hole.
If true, kinda harst to be able to make a completely parametric assembly of everything but the fastners.I'm using the Hole method on the bolt connection dialog with pre-existing holes that do not have threads on them.
We have the weight inour title block tied to the mass property.It is set to populate automatically and it does very nicely.
The issue comes when I have an assembly and in the BOM I set certain components to be reference. When I go to Iproperties and then under the Physical tab select update,
the value updates there, but not in the associated drawing title block.Â
I have recently updated my template files in Inventor (.idw, .ipt (standard/sheet metal), .iam (standard/weldment)).I added ilogic rules and custom iproperties to them.
I would like to update all my existing files to have these changes so they would be available when we copy design new parts.Is there a way automate the process of updating these files? I have about 4924 of them.
As this software continues to change it's behavior of function over nite. I am assuming due to new updates in inventor. I can no longer get my drawing to update per changes made to the model. This started about 2 weeks ago.
Change are completed perfectly, I open the drawing and it still has the old model represented. When I right on the view and open the model. Model contains all of my changes, but the drawing does not seem to care or notice that changes have been made and saved. I even closed inventor and reopened.
Even though I'm paid by the hour I really do not want to delete all views and start all over.
So the only answer is to delete all views replace them re dimension them and of course add any time consuming sketches.
10-15 minutes change now is going to take 3 hours. WHY can't autodesk make a stable piece of software?
I wounder if there is a way to see which dimensions that have been changed when you update a drawing? (after changing the model)

I am using a form to make the changes in the assembly, but when I change body styles ( 1 piece to 2 piece) it is not updating correctly unless I regen the rule. It is having trouble with the 2nd body piece. It doesn't want to change it unles I do a regen.Â
View 8 Replies View RelatedA customer sent me a .step file. Â In order to produce the part that I need, I wanted to add some machining to his original part. Os I derived in his part and then added the features that I needed. Just a few tapped holes in one side.
 Now, my customer made a few changes to his original part (added some detail) and he has sent me his new .stp file. I did not think it would be any problems if I just overwrote the original stp file with the new one.  But, if I do that, when I open my part, Inventor complains that the updated part is part is not usable.
I tried saving the imported file as a .ipt and then bringing that into an assembly and doing the machining there. But, now when I replace the imported file with the updated version, my features fail.
Is there a workflow that will allow me to update the part that is derived into another part?Â
