AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Few Assemblies In Separable For Parts List In Drawing
Mar 13, 2013I'm trying to make a few assemblies inseparable for a parts list in a Drawing, but I can't seem to make it work.
I know I have to do this in the Bill of Materials menu, but for some reason the part I want to make inseparable is greyed out whiles the one that is just one part isn't.
My only option right now is to make it a weldment which works but not ideal, because now the material isn't correct.
I'm trying this on the 099.03.00.097 assembly in the picture.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Make Macro That Adds Vendor Column To End Of A Parts List
Sep 10, 2008I am trying to make a macro that adds the vendor column to the end of a parts list, sort by it first, then by part number, renumber the parts list, then save the overrides to the BOM. Everything works great except for saving the overrides to the BOM. The item number sort order gets jumbled back up. I am using Inventor 2008 Pro SP2. Below is the

AutoCAD Inventor :: Showing Two Instances Of Parts List And Adding Custom Parts
Mar 30, 2012On the main sheet of my drawing I have the overall Parts List. Shows almost all parts except for the few that we don't want to list. On the second sheet I inserted a Parts List to show only parts that are shown in a detail on that page, made the rest non-visible.
On the main sheet there is an item (#13) that has a QTY of 3. Two of those Three are optional parts. What I'm trying to do is insert a custom part into the Parts List, give it an item number of 13A and put in the description "OPTIONAL", then do an Override in the balloon to show 13A.
I get it in the Parts List, Apply it, close it, save the drawing. Looking at the Parts List, item #13A is there, but item #14 is gone. I go back into the Parts List and 13A is there and there's a blue box around the item # and the description. I uncheck Static Value and number 14 shows up (item # and the description).
Then I go over to sheet two, open that Parts List and it lists 13A at the bottom with all the info I added in sheet one and it's non-visible. Go back to sheet one, open the Parts List and there is no 13A to be found.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Update When Modifying Model Parts In Idw
Aug 21, 2012My parts list on my idw do not update when I make changes to the model. Specifically, I have deleted a bolted connection on my design and replaced with a different components but the parts list table does not update - all I see is a lightning bolt in the browser next to the parts list but I cannot update it here.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Virtual Parts Weight Total BOM And Parts List
Aug 7, 2013I was using virtual parts to add nuts and bolts to a drawing in 2013
I can make a VP bolt in the assembly, no problem, set it's size, weight, etc.
In the VP itself, there is no option for number of bolts I want it to emulate. For arguement's sake the weight was 1 pound per bolt (they are big bolts).
I can go into the BOM and say quantity 60, hit done and save the assembly.
If i open the drawing, the parts lists shows 60lbs for the 60 bolts total - which it should when summing the weight.
The problem is the BOM/assembly. If the weight of my assembly (without bolts) is 10,000lbs, the assembly sees the VP weighing 1lb and says the total weight is 10,001 lbs. Am i going to have to pattern a fake part to get this to work right? Shouldn't the total weight take into account the quantity set in the Bom??
AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Density Of Materials Assigned To Various Parts In Parts List On Drawing?
Dec 9, 2013Is there a way to display the density of materials that are assigned to varius parts in the parts list on a drawing? I don't need the mass of the parts I just need the material density to show up next to their respective parts.
For example, if I have a part with [steel mild] material assinged to it (no matter the size) I need a column in the BOM on the drawing to show: 490.684 lbs/ft^3. "Worry when there's something to worry about."
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assemblies Showing In Parts Only Parts List
Jul 10, 2012I have an assembly with a lot of purchased parts. I need to create a buy out list for purchasing. I've done this many times in the past and have a template set up for this purpose.
So now the problem, In this assembly, I have subassemblies showing up on my parts only parts list.
One of the subassemblies cinsists of two purchased parts. Both parts are set to purchased in the Bill of materials. If I do a parts only list on this assembly, it works as expected, showing two purchased parts. However, if I put that assembly into a higher level assembly, A parts only parts list shows the assembly instead of the individual parts.
AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW View / Parts List Changes From Structured To Parts Only
May 3, 2013IV 2010 Suite
Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Automatic Update On Shrink Wrap Parts
Feb 15, 2013About Substitute Shrink wrap parts, it doesn't automatic update when I use UPDATE or even REBUILD ALL inside the LOD with it, even if I don't break the link with the assembly it doesn't update, so I have to go in each assembly with Substitute parts ( with are many in huge projects) and then verify with "Check for updates" in the correct LOD (which in some cases are more than one per assembly). Is there a way to update them direct from the main assembly with rebuild all or something like that ?

Sep 22, 2011I have a .idw that I'm trying to make a parts list on. I select parts list and highlight everything. There are two screws that are not showing up on the parts list. I cannot select them manually either. It's acting like they are not there. Even if I do a complete parts list (adding the assemblies parts into one big list), they still don't show up.
How can I select these parts? What is wrong with them that they do not show up in the parts list?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Get Parts List From The BOM
May 11, 2012It seems like most people output the whole BOM. I only want to data in the Part Number column, preferably as a list of strings.
Here's what I have so far:
foreach (Sheet oSheet2 in aDoc.Sheets){ for (int i = 1; i < (oSheet2.PartsLists.Count+1); i++) { var oPartsList = oSheet2.PartsLists[i]; for(int k = 1; k < oPartsList.PartsListColumns.Count+1; k++) { if (oPartsList.PartsListColumns[k].Title.Equals("PART NUMBER")) { //what goes here??? } } }}
AutoCAD Inventor :: Get The Parts List From The BOM
Feb 4, 2013I've been using the "Phantom" BOM Structure to roll up duplicate .ipt's when I have more than one sub-assembly within a higher .iam and it has worked well.
Question - is it possible to adjust settings so that the .iam that I "Phantom" itself remains as a visable line item in the Parts List while still rolling up like .ipt's?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get A List Of Parts

AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List With Thumbnail
Sep 6, 2013As an academic interest I was trying to convert Brian’s code for exporting Parts list with thumbnail to VB.net 2012. I just modified the below code to remove the vb6 support. I am using VS 2012 and Inventor 2014. The end result on the word report thumb nail for some parts are not visible. It goes to the error code and putting the text instead of thumb nail. At the same time Brian’s code as it is (used the exe file to install it) works fine on the same parts list with all thumb nail.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Barcodes In A Parts List
Oct 22, 2012We would like to put barcodes in a parts list. To create a barcode we use a special barcode font.
It's impossible to have two types of fonts within one parts list, but is there an other way? Is there code (VBA) to generate a table with an extract of the bill of materials and a barcode generated
with a special font on the fly. We would basically need a parts list with an extra column for the barcode.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Grouping In Parts List
Sep 16, 2013I have an assembly that I have the BOM property set to phantom. Consists of 7 parts, each have a bom property of purchased.
All parts are the same but cut to length in the shop. Parts list are based on parts only BOM. If I create a parts list based on just the assembly, I can group the items, they all have the same part number, and display the group participants, and the item numbers and everything works as expected.
If I use this assembly as a subassembly in a larger assembly and create a partslist with the same group keys, the subassembly does not show as a group, does not show group participants or corresponding item numbers.
What I'm trying to do is show total length of a product that we buy on a spool for this assembly. To do this I'm using substitution in the qty column. Most parts are purchased each, these are purchased by length. What would cause the parts list to display as a group in one list but not in the other?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Different Parts List Styles?
Sep 4, 2013Styles in Inventor have always been confusing to me. I have ONE project file, ONE teplates folder, but TWO different drawing templates (one for single part drawings, one for assembly drawings). For simplicity sake, lets say the ONLY difference I want between the two drawing templates is the parts list. The assembly template parts list should have lets say one more column than the other.
I did what I thought should do it but it isn't working properly. What's the best way to accomplish this? Right now within the same style library I have two parts lists set up, and I have two "standards". The only difference between the two standards is which parts list box is checked on "available styles". When I change "object defaults" to onw parts list or the other, it changes that default for all drawing templates, not just the one I'm using.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Of Sub Assemblies
May 31, 2012I have one main assembly with two seperate sub assemblies in it. I need to make two drawings showing the installation of both sub assemblies (one drawing for each). I need to insert views of the main assembly into each drawing, showing the overall view of the install, but I need the balloons to represent the sub assembly BOM.
I tried making the sub assembly I'm not currently showing, Phantom, and I have a design view set up to hide the information of the sub that is not part of the current drawing. That seems to work fine for the first drawing, but when I change the BOM (of the main assembly) to suit the next drawing, it affects the first drawing. How can I use one main BOM to suit two different drawings, showing only certain components? Or can I "tell" the balloons which BOM to reference? (I have the BOM of the sub assemblies set up the way I want them as well)
AutoCAD Inventor :: Sum Some Parts List Items
Nov 22, 2011I have what turns out to be the first parts list in three years where I need to sum the lengths of a couple items together to get a total length for that material in feet.
What do I need to do to get the two lines in the attached screenshot to sum their lengths together? I would be happy to add another column to the list for this, perhaps the "Unit Quantity" column where most everything is set to "Each" but the two lines shown are summed into a length in feet (or anything like that). How can I accomplish this?
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Unmerge Parts In BOM List

2. is there any other way to change the merged part "material" column from greyed out to normal?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List Grouping
Mar 8, 2012I want to be able to take a few parts and group them together to make them appear as one single entry on the parts list.
Example: I have a Liquid Level Switch, Mounting Bracket and mounting hardware in the assembly as separate parts. On the .idw Parts List I need to have them show up as one item, as a 'LLS Kit' phantom.
Also, these parts will be used on other assemblies and will probably be used with other main components (ie. Temperature switches, pressure switches, etc.) so then need to remain independent of one another.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Parts List In Drawings
Oct 2, 2013Having inserted a parts list into my idw drawing i noticed that one of the column widths need to be increased,i went to the edit parts list style and increased the column width,saved it etc.
