AutoCAD Inventor :: Use Hole Table (or Similar) For Objects Without Centermarks?

Apr 18, 2013

I have a .stp file that I am trying to dimension on a drawing. There are about 100 or so lightening pockets that are all the same basic shape (a rectangle with a full round on the ends). As of now I have been manually making a table for each location. Is there a way to create something like a hole table to automatically capture the locations of the pockets and create a corresponding table? I know I can create a centermrk on the round portions to use with a hole table but I want to dimension from the center of the pockets for the table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Distinguish Hole Features From Other Circles In Drawing / Add Centermarks

Sep 16, 2012

I'm attempting to use VBA to put center marks on each hole in my drawing. So far I have the following

Dim oIntent As GeometryIntent Dim oCenterOfPart As Centermark
'Add center marks to base view For Each oCurve In oBaseView.DrawingCurves '
<- need to identify Hole Features If Not oCurve.CenterPoint Is Nothing Then
If oCurve.CurveType = kCircleCurve Then 'CurveTypeEnum

[Code] .......

oBaseView is the DrawingView object representing the base view the code just placed. I also used VBA to place the projected views oTopView and oRightView. I want to add center marks to each hole when viewed from the end (as circles) and add centerlines when viewed from the top or side (as hidden lines).

I will be iterating through several models representing various handhold styles. The feet can be in many orientations, 99% of them are paralel to one of the origin planes (XY,YZ, or XZ).

This is what my code generates: (The centermarks that are selected are the ones I don't want the code to generate).  This is what I WANT the code to generate:

1) How do I distinguish whether a circle curve originated because of a hole or because of another cilindrical feature?

2) How to I identify the corresponding hidden lines in the other views so I can add a center line?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Table Formatting - Different Text Depending On The Type Of Hole

Nov 6, 2012

I've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing.  I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types.  I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style.  (Please see the attached image.)

So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table?  Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it.....  But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Select Hole Edges When Creating Hole Table

Nov 19, 2012

I have had this problem intermittently for a few weeks since going to Inventor 2013 SP1.1.  I have a part within an assembly and that part has holes created in it before assembling it with other parts.  Now when I try and create a hole table in a drawing of the assembly I cannot select hole edges and the hole table is blank when trying to create it automatically from view selection.  I originally thought it may be an alignment issue but I have since aligned everything correctly and it still persists.  I can create the hole table if I import in just the part into the drawing but it will not allow me to create the table on the whole assembly. 

I can also create the hole table if I use "centred pattern" and create cross hairs on all of the holes however it does not give me correct annotations for the holes as shown in attachment and I can manually change the annotations but seriously this should not be required.  As shown in the screen shot it reads as A1 down to K1 instead of A1 to A10. .

AutoCAD Inventor :: Table Driven IFeatures In A Hole Table?

Oct 16, 2013

I have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures.  These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table.  I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.

By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Table Dimension

Apr 23, 2012

I have a drawing of a sheet metal part that I did late last year.  I used a Hole Table to dimension all the holes.

Fastforward to today.  I added two holes that are different in size than any other hole.  So when I opened the drawing it automatically added them to the Hole Table and gave them tag #'s in a new group and it kept the grouping in Alpha order.  A, B, C were there before and it added D.  Great, that's the way to do it.

Then I decided I needed to change the hole size.  The change would keep the size different than any other hole on the part still.  I go into the drawing and it change the size in the Table BUT, it also moved them up to the top of the list but kept the tag # as D*.

How do I get those two entries back to the bottom where they belong to keep them in order?

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Put Hole Feature Into IPart Table

Mar 26, 2013

I have created an iPart which uses the Hole Feature (counterbore hole).  The hole is not threaded.  Is there a way to put the Hole Feature into the iPart table so when a user enters specific values, he/she could type in or select a bolt size and the counter bore hole feature will use the correct dimensions for said bolt size (ie.  I would like the counterbore holes for an M6 Socket Head Cap Screw.  So instead of typing in the counterbore hole diameter, depth, and bolt diameter, etc... it would automatically enter the default values.)  Or is this something that must use iLogic?

I need to create a hole table for a part.  I would like the origin to be at the center of the part.  Problem is there is not a round hole at that location.  Attached is a similar part.  The one that I am doing is much larger and has many more holes... this is just an example.

How can I pick this as the origin of my hole table?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Table Does Not List All Holes In Part

Aug 10, 2012

I have a sheet metal part which has several holes in, from which I have created a hole table. The hole table does not list all the holes in my part as I am only permitted to to select holes on one face of the part in the selected view. I have tried selecting all holes on the Isometric view however I cannt do this either.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Thread Feature Not Displayed In Hole Table

Nov 29, 2012

Yesterday I tried to make a table-driven I-feature of a few drilling paterns.

I want to use this for drawing steel manifolds. The I-feature is used to insert standard drilling paterns, for example a patern to fit a standard flange.

The only problem is, for the thread I used the thread feature, otherwise it doesn't show up in the I-feature.

But when I make a drawing of a part were this I-feature is used, the specification of the thread doesn't show up when I create a hole table, because in the I-feature, the thread is a separate feature.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Hole Table On Converted Solid Work File

What is the best way to get a hole table on a converted SW file.  Our Engineers use Solid works and I can easily import the file but when I try to create the  hole table in the IDW file it comes up blank.

Do  I need to recreate all the holes so they are native to Inventor? or I am missing a conversion setting.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Access CenterMarks In Specified View

Mar 27, 2013

I have a model with two Workpoints and have to automatically create a dimension for these workpoints in a drawing.

The drawing has two views, a basic view and a section view.

The dimension of the workpoints has to be in the section view.

When doing this by hand, I would select the section view in the model browser, select the view's model, and then select the models centermarks and make them visible in only this view. After this I can select the CenterMarks for the dimension command.

When I look at the API, the workPoints are represented inside the drawing as CenterMarks, but the CenterMarks are children of the sheet and not children of a view !

And there are only two CenterMarks on the sheet, when I manually can select four (two in each of the views).

How can I programmatically access the centerMarks in a specified view ?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ultimate 2013 - Cannot Add Hole To Existing Hole Chart

May 22, 2012

I am trying to add a hole to an existing hole chart.  I drop the part into a new drawing, set the ordinate "zero", and add a hole chart by selecting a few holes.  When I attempt to edit the chart: click chart, right click "edit", click add hole, select new holes, right click to create, the "create" selection is greyed out and all I have to choose from is cancel. I searched the forum here but could not find a reference to this a know issue.  Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch of 2013. 

We are running win7 x64 machines and this happens on both the 2013 Ultimate and Premium editions of the product.
