Jun 17, 2013Is there a secret to having the Design View Reps stay on the right settings when using Occurrences.AddUsingIMates? I've got a master top level assembly that I'm bringing other iLogic modules into by using an iLogic form in the master top level assembly. The form calls a rule that makes a copy of the module assembly in the same file location as the master TLA. It then adds the module TLA to the master TLA using iMates, and calls an external rule to copy all the sub files from the module into that file location and replace them in the module TLA. The user then calls the module's configuration form using a button on the master TLA's form.
I've been using a line of code to set the DVR back to default and associative for the module, but now that has stopped working and it immediately goes back to Master after running the rule, or even if I try and set it by hand. But if I bring the same module in and place it using the Place button, it comes in correctly. I've even added a NameValueMap for the DVR optional argument on AddUsingiMates and that hasn't work.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Design View Representation Is Locked
Jul 30, 2012I have a message pop up when i am trying to save an assembly. it is:
'The current Design View Representaion is locked. Changes againstit will not be saved. If you want to keep those changes please create a new Design View Representation or unlock the current one.'

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reassociating Design View Representation
Apr 20, 2013I created a presentation with my assembly, when I modify a parts colour in Assembly environment its automatically changing in Presentation environment. (initially I make them Associative). But if I clear the override it automatically unassociates the design view representation. (check the image below) Is there an option somewhere to reassociate it?

Apr 7, 2013I saved correctly in the file .ipt the view representation of a very simple part.
One is the view form the top and the other one is the view from the bottom.
When I try to put these two different views into the drawing, the view is the same, and it depends what is selected on the right of the windows.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Missing Design View Representation From 2013
Jan 8, 2013My company have recently upgraded from Inventor 2010 to Inventor 2013, on the whole I like it a lot better but there is one feature I can't find or Autodesk have removed. I have attached an image of what I mean if I haven't explained it very well but on the browser bar there used to be a drop down 'design view representation' that you could change back to 'master' quickly. I found this very useful as I often use the 'visible' tool to hide parts then want to unhide them all at once. Is there another way of doing what I want or does this tool exist hidden away somewhere else?

Apr 20, 2013I have a client that is having difficulty with Design View Representations. He has approximately 15 view representations, each having items in different states of visibility. The icons display the modes of visibility correctly, however, there are no objects visible in the graphics window at all. Additionally, the option, "Find in Window" is missing when right-clicking on visible objects. Only when he copies the View Representation over to a LOD, and then saves that back out to a VR, do the graphics in the window appear correctly. Then the Option, Find in Window shows up and is available.

Oct 19, 2011I have a main assembly with two major subassemblies with one of them I want the representations to be set as Defualt instead of master but when I do this and change the size of my parts Inventor crashes, if I leave it set to master it works fine but parts with visibility turned off still show in the iam and dwg files. If I try to change the representation after changing dimensions Inventor also crashes. I can individually open the sub assemblies and everything works fine.

Aug 30, 2013I'm working in ancient Inventor 2009 and I'm using view representations for all of my .ipn levels. I've accidentally skipped one step and would like to put it in the middle of the others. Is there a way to re-organize the representations. I've attached a picture. I need to insert a representation above the check marked one.

Apr 30, 2012I used to use "Level of detail" to hide components etc for detailing purposes. I now use "Representations" among a few customised views, I have a set search for fasteners.
Question: Is there a way to automate the search (Saved search) and then switch off the visibilty of the items? Preferably some iLogic code?
I have to run the search quite a few times during the design/detailing process, and sometimes things slip through the cracks, esp when I change fastners. (Note, All the fastners are extracted from the CC and saved with a new name and details.) It would be great to just run a rule.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unlocking View Representation
Sep 19, 2011I've looked and saw quite a few messeges on the same topic but couldn't find some good resolve : I'm in an assembly, trying to hide/supress some component, and it keeps saying that the view is locked (I do see "lock" logos on all the views) and I should unlock it or create a new one, which I don't want - I want the changes to be on the main "master" view)
How do I "unlock" or resolve it?Right clicking on the view doesn't give me any option to unlock it..
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Change Representation In New View
Nov 2, 2011So after creating a bunch of assemblies with associated presentation and drawing files I was told that each assembly needs multiple representations for different part colors. I would like to be able to change the representation view of my assembly (i.e. from 'Master' to 'Black') in the presentation file I've already made and have the colors update here and in the associated drawing files.
PS - I do know how to change the representation in a new view. So...hindsight 20/20.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Multibody Part View Representation?
Sep 11, 2013For some multibody parts I use view representation in order to show for example one or more bodies only. For that I lock the view representation. Usually I have more than 3 of them. The part can have different configurations. The problem is that when a new solid is made, it will be visible in the locked view representations also. I thought the lock option should work in the same way like for assemblies, because if you lock the view in an assembly new parts wont be visible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Representation View Lock Gone Automatically
Sep 14, 2011I've noticed in inv.pro.2012 that after properly locking the link with representation view in idw, saving the files, and then after replacing a part in iam, some of my links in idw views are again unlocked (and I hope you know what that means for the drawing itself). I never had it in inv.pro.2010 and earlier versions.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: How To Set Representation View For Part In Drawing
Oct 13, 2013If you've had to use different design view representation of the same PART on a drawing in multiple Views at the same time, you already know that whenever you suppress completly a feature, the representation loose the condition stated in the model view and if the suppressed feature is reactivated, it then appear in all view. You have to right-click on the view and select "Apply design View" to reset it, or re-select the design view representation in "Edit view".
Recently I faced a case where i had to build a iLogic multi-body part representing a crate made of either sheet or bar, with a removable top and variable solid for top, sidewall and base, driven trought a in-drawing form! Reason being the customer wanted a easy, useable model for the shipping clerk to generate a custom crate drawing for the crate contractor, therefore freeing precious time for the drafting departement. Usually I would have used occurence visibillity from a assembly, but the document management part of the deal, was too much for the computer illiterate user... So, off i went creating a multi-body part, only to face the aforemention problem with view changing representation due to complete solid suppression.
So here's How-to Set representation view for part in drawing:
The trick is to set every view to it's representation by using the edit window interface code.
The iLogic line to set a View to a specific Design View Representation:
ActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
I use this code in "IF" statement. You must repete the code for each view, removing the "Raster" line force a raster only reaction on the view, and the update must be placed after each view, otherwise it only update the last one.
Example:
If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "AUCUN" Then
ActiveSheet.View("2").View.Suppressed = TrueActiveSheet.View("1").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View5", False)ActiveSheet.View("1").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("3").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View2", False)ActiveSheet.View("3").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()ActiveSheet.View("4").View.SetDesignViewRepresentation("View1", False)ActiveSheet.View("4").View.IsRasterView = FalseThisApplication.ActiveView.Update()
Else If TYPE_COUVERCLE = "CONTREPLAQUÉ" Then
[Code]...
I'm telling the model that the disapearing element "TYPE_COUVERCLE" is driving the representation, only when it change does it fix the view, regenerating or changing the Design View Representation (the TYPE_SIDE and TYPE_BOTTOM are always active or always suppressed in their respectives views, therefore not influencing their respective appearance in other view). If you had multiple dissapearing solid or feature you would have to build a similar code for every one of them...
AutoCAD Inventor :: View Representation Parts List Error

AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic For View Representation Of Part File (in Assembly)
Apr 17, 2012I have received a great solution from Bobvdd allowing ilogic control of the view rep in a part file (not an assembly file). The code below works brilliantly when the part file is the active document. However when the part is placed in an assembly and the ilogic is run with the assembly active, the code produces no result. How to modify the top 6 lines of code?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing View Of Representation Still Shows Assembly That Is Turned Off
Nov 29, 2011Trying to do two variations of an assembly using representations. I turned sub-assemblies off in different representations by unchecking "visibility." I can switch back and forth between representations in the assemby and the sub-assemblies go on and off, but drawing views where I've selected a given representation still show the "invisible" assemblies.

Then we installed SP1 and now drawing views are disappearing, however when we select "shaded" view the view reappears and works perfectly..
Any workaround regarding disappearing views?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: QTY Of Parts In Design View Rep
Nov 29, 2011I know this wasn't possible in the past (and probably still isn't now) but does any trick or something to only get the qty/parts used in a certain design view rep.
We are starting to do work orders (routings) with parts lists for ONLY whats used in that step in the process. Having to manually count screws,etc.. seems silly now.
Design view reps works excellent for showing the assembly process of a product but the parts list (even filtered to that design view rep) shows the total quantity of each component..not just the count in that design view rep.
Any possibility of doing this with ilogic or something?
