AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Optimization For Checking Designs
May 27, 2012I am not fully conversant with the optimization function however I have leaned that this can be used for checking FEA tests on designs.

If you click check in on this, you get the message that it needs saving, click ok. It appears that it has worked but all the buttons on the toolbar are frozen. if you click the big I all the ribbon greys out and you need to restart Inventor. The only button that still works is Suite Workflows.
I have SP1.1 installed as well as the vault hot fix.
Having problem when using Inventor to check in a (large->slow) file while closing vault at the same time?
One of my colegues had a drawing file lose some of his changes when he checked in. we could not see a reason why, as the file was in vault with the correct time stamp. the file was the same as the previous check in.
This morning i have had a similar problem, where by i had made changes before checking in last night and when i opened the file in the morning the changes where not there.
I looked on my c drive in old versions (before i did anything else to overwrite it!) and low and behold the changes there!
The only thing i remember doing that was not normal was to close Vault while this large file was in the process of checking in through inventor.
I am using Inventor 2009 and have always been told not to check out files from the Vault directly. Rather to use Inventor when checking them in or out. What is the reason for this and has that changed with current versions?

After changes to non library parts and checking in machine.iam (with 1 or more company librarie .iams in it) Inventor says: machine.iam and (x) dependent files must be saved.before they can be checked in.save and continue?
Answering Yes -> Inventor says: One or more documents have been modified but save was unsuccessful. You must save the document prior to check in. (but I did save before check in!). Only option is to press cancel..
All filenames of library.iams in the vaultlist in inventor are turned red with an * behind the filename stating they have changed.(?) Somehow inventor thinks the library.iam haved changed in this machine.iam..
If i do this again with all included children checked out, but not the library files, the result is the same.
I tried to find out what is wrong with these library-parts (all library.iams (?)) so I opened a few of these library.iam (with the librarie.ipj) and the update button is greyed out so there are no changes..
We “solve” this now by closing the machine.iam, inventor then asks: save changes?, press Yes, an new window pops up: file “machine.iam” is checked out to you. Do you want to check it in now?, press Yes, a new window pops up asking which files you want to check in: machine.iam and all checked out parts in it, press OK and all will be checked in.
But this only works with files that are already in the vault, not with new drawings of iams.
We used to have the problem after saving an part or assembly -> Inventor would ask after pressing close: do you want to save, as if the first save didn’t work.. Now we have a bigger problem..
Also sometimes checking out include children only includes all direct children and not also children of children.
I have a lot of custom libraries for purchased items for my projects. When I bring them into my assemblies I cannot turn on or off surface planes or make any changes.
I get the message that the file is not checked out to me. How can I make it so they are always checked out to me. The libraries are mine on my system.
I have some commands in which I add a button to the context menu in certain situations. Depending on the situation the button may be added or removed.
I'm alternating between using iterating through the definitions on the object they belong and if I have access to the it such as events that expose the commandbar object I iterate through it's buttons. If I don't I use a try/catch on the ControlDefinitions. Iterating through that causes an unacceptable pause.
I've always thought using exceptions to test objects is expensive but the delay breaks the users flow due to the pause.
What is the correct way to test for this?
I also run into this situation because I have different addins that add different sets of controls from a common set of dlls depending on the use context. Try/Catch works but is that the recommended way to test for things. I often need to test for the existance of things such as parameters (I have some plugins which will recreate sets of needed user parameters and some have hundreds if they don't exist already) and try/catch seems to be the best method.
we are a large manufacturing organisation and currently are using Inventor 2014 for our product design and day to day production drawing. We purchased Inventor 2014 recently for its BIM transfer capabilities. It would appear however that we can only view the outcome of the transferred files fron Inventor within Revit its self.
As we do not require Revit for any production work, purchasing a Revit licence is not an option. I recently downloaded the trial version of Revit Architecture to review the transfer files but the trial licence is now ready to expire.
Installed Product desgin suite 2014. I can create a new inventor dwg file and place a base view of an assembly into it. I then attempt to check it in and it causes Inventor to not respond and eventually crash. When I reopen the dwg from my working folder and attempt to check it in again it gives me an error saying that the file already exists.

I was hopping to use the drawingcurve(modelobject), but I dont know what to use as the modelobject! is it the edge, edges, component definition... Here some of the code that is not working.
Dim _portePattern As OccurrencePattern = oassbly.ComponentDefinition.OccurrencePatterns.Item("Pattern Porte")

My supervisor needs to view the autodesk inventor designs (I create) in his PC without installing the whole inventor package. Its something like using eDrawings to view designs created with solidworks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOk, so I understand how to take my Inventor designs and make them into a .adsk file for use as BiM info. Without having revit how in the world am I supposed to check what I'm sending out to my clients? It goes against everything I've ever learned to just make a file and send it out blindly without checking it.
Is this really how Autodesk thinks this process should work?
URL....On first look it seems like a good way to improve the performance of AutoCAD, and hopefully reduce fatal error or at least recover from them quicker. I had recently suggested an upgrade to the machines by putting our autodesk software on SSD's but I'm hesitant to follow this up due to the read/write limitations SSD's currently suffer from.

While trying to optimize images for my website [URL] .... I used a tool named 'RIOT', but I am not comfortable with that since I am a Photoshop user and likes utilize its potential to the fullest. I tried different preferences while saving processed images, but wasn't satisfied with the result. Some recommended settings that I can use to optimize images using photoshop CS5 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to batch optimize for the web a big amount of images contained in a two level folder structure.
By using Using Automate - Batch and running an action that exports the images using 'Save for Web & Devices', I can optimize all the images contained in my folder (including all sub folders). The problem is that they have to export into a single folder in my desktop (the path has to be indicated when creating the action and saving the image in 'Save for Web & Devices'.
solution would be to save the files in their original location, replacing the original file with the optimized one, keeping the original folder structure.
I've got myself in a bit of a muddle. I was messing around with the optimization settings the other day in Imageready. Now when I save my gifs they go all grainy. I've never had a problem before. I've tried putting it back to the default settings but it's still loosing alot of picture quality on saving. Is there a way to fix this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I'm working in an Illustrator file with multiple layers and hundreds of objects on those layers that sometimes aren't grouped yet, I find it hard to select click on the objects in the layers panel on the right, selecting them via shift-click (you know, selecting all objects between the first and the last clicked object).
Is there a way I can select layer objects with the shift-option and afterwards have all of the items selected on the artboard? See the images for illustration.

Standards describes the wedge and parallel lane lengths, depending on speed, road type and grades.By last you have to perform a "connection" between main and out alignments, basically an interpolation.So you have 3 areas/tasks to do:
1.- Wedge and parallel definition
2.- Locate the area in which main alignment and out alignment are pseudo parallel. This area is located between the intersection of lanes widths and the point defined by intersection of shoulders.
3.- The area between this last point and a singular point (defined by standards) in which we can consider the alignments are fully independent.
4.- The area between point 2 and the point in which vertical profile and superelevation are independent for out alignment.
You have to define a lot of things, profile, superelevation, transitions, etc..As far as I have seen, there is not any tool to do all of this.
i know the traditional way of doing this is just export to autocad then open with inroads and do grading stuff again.are there any easier ways? i think it's no but boss wants to get a confirmation on the internet.like grading objects to inroad grading and corridor to inroads corridor.

This functions used to write files with the extension png but now it writes png files with the extension pspimage. If you try to open such a file you will get error messages.
PSP seems to be back with version X6 with again destroyed old functions. It seems so as if will not buy the update this time. With each new version I get new bugs in old functions.
I have a .DWF underlay that I am tracing over an aerial. I need to create hatches for several areas, and tried to PEDIT the lines and arcs into a polyline. Several segments, however, were not "connected" to the adjacent segments even though I'd meticulously snapped to endpoints to draw the lines.
Is there a command or LISP routine to check for connectivity before I attempt PEDIT so I can fix the gaps first?
I was attempting to troubleshoot some performance issues I've been having using process monitor. I noticed that AutoCAD 2013 is constantly checking for an XREFSTATE System variable, that according to documentation is stored in the registry. however, process monitor is reporting this variable as not found. So that leads me to a couple questions:
why is it constantly checking the status of the variable
why is the variable not located within the path it is looking for.
I'm trying to check for the existence of a drive using lisp, then if not found perform a task (represented in my below example by the alert)
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") T)(alert "exists"))
I know it doesn't work because if I change the T to nil as demonstrated bellow I should invoke the opposite reaction from autocad but instead I get the exact same outcome which is an alert telling me the file exists?
(if (vl-file-directory-p "C: en") nil)(alert "exists"))
any web design templates theyd like coded and turned into sites for free, Im trying to really learn html/css and would love some nice new designs to work with, its all for free just an opportunity for me to learn more about coding etc.
