Using Inventor 10, I have replaced several components of my assembly with new copies of the components to be modified into new parts. For some reason the model tree still shows the old part numbers, but editing the parts reveals that they are indeed the new parts. How to correct the part listing in the model tree?
what the little symbol that looks like the recycle symbol is in the model tree is? I have several parts in this assembly and many of them seem to have this symbol that says adaptive next to them and I can't find and rhyme or reason to it. I am attaching a screen shot of it. I use Inventor 2012.
The model tree browser is freezing multiple times per day. Even if I close the browser and re-enable it in the View>User Interface menu, it is still frozen. It wont unfreeze until I close Inventor completely and re-open it.
Is there a filter ability for the model tree? What I need is I have a part that is buried within a sub assembly that I cannot find. I know the name, but what I am looking for is a tools that allows me to type in it's name and it show me in the tree where it is associated.
failure to refresh Model Tree after switching configurations - app restart required
We have a user who is getting this message several times per day and must restart his PC. He is the only user of the Inventor Vault product using 2013. We have redone his laptop and and given him a clean laptop with a fresh install of AutoCAD.
I've got a user who is seeing this lock symbol on some Content Center parts in his model tree. I've never seen it before and what is causing it. This results in a lot of errors when he tries to check in any files where this shows up. I can open the same assembly on my machine and the lock does not show up, and I can check the files in with no trouble.
i wanna use a existent project to make a new one, i copy all the files that I need to a new project, then I use Design Assistant to rename all files, everything works fine this way. I just saw now a little 'problem' that doesn't bother me, but can be a problem to other ppl who open this project and see the difference.
When I rename the file name from Design Assistant (opening it from the top assembly), all the parts get its PART NUMBER updated and all the files are renamed too, but...when i open the assembly, in the Model tree, no parts have the name updated, all keeps the old name, but if i open the part from the model tree, i open the correct part already updated and renamed, so, its just the model tree displays name that are incorrect. Is that known ? Is there a solution ? Or am I doing something wrong to copy or rename files ?
I realized that is happens most when i rename files from a top assembly with subassemblies. Sometimes when i use just one assemblie with just parts inside it, everything goes normal.
I am trying to create a Treeview of Model tree which displays parts assembly...etc My code is working well and i am able to get the tree view, but the problem is how can i count the quantity of parts/assemblies and display as consolidated. For instance this below snapshot shows my treeview.
This above snapshot shows my output
Here besides all parts/assemblies i get Semi-Colons and Numbers rather than consolidated view For this part in fig
I want to reset the number for the sketches, extrusions, etc. in the browser tree of my template file to start with 01 instead of sketch48 and extrusion69.
I also want to reset the model parameters to start with d0 instead of d485.
The attached image show an example of a simple cylinder that I created from my .ipt template file.
I am trying to add a material with a specific density to the list of materials. After looking online it looks like I need to do that with the styles editor, but when I open the styles editor the only thing that I can work with is the lighting.
This just happened to me this morning, I split a part into a multibody part and as soon as I did the split, the entire design tree got greyed out. It doesnt matter if I have only one body visible or both of them, the tree stays greyed out. I can still edit features but its annoying to not know what is on and whats off. I opened a new file mocked up a quick part with various features performed a split and same results.
When I try to replace a component in Inventor 2014. It replaces it but does not update the tree in the browser. I have to manually delete the part and place a new one in.
How can I condense the 'history tree' that lists all the function? Like, putting multiple sketches into one folder and then being able to expand it to display all of them?
I am migrating into Inventor from Solid Works, which had a keyboard short cut for collapsing the parts tree in the browser. Is there a similar command for IV?
In Inventor Drawing Mode how to select the models in Browser tree using VBA, I think using selectset is not possible in my knowledge. Is there any other way to execute the selection .
I am looking to apply a set part number iproperty to the first, then second, then third components in the assembly browser tree in my iLogic rule, regardless of their current part number. (I need to select them by their position in the browser tree as their part number will vary). How do I do this?
I`m working on the code that reads a list of virtual parts from Excel and adds required qty into the assembly. So far it looks good, I just need to know how to create a folder in a Assembly view tree and save virtual part in that folder instead of placing it in the root.
Dim occs As ComponentOccurrences occs = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences Dim identity As Matrixidentity = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreateMatrixDim virtOcc As ComponentOccurrencevirtOcc = occs.AddVirtual(sVirtPart, identity)
when I'm in a part file and attempting to open the related drawing file by right clicking on the part name at the top of the design tree, the drawing can't be found automatically and I've to find it in the file open dialogue box.
My problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.
We received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....
An IDW view is showing a second iteration of a part instead of one of each. I have tried turning the visibly on / off in the ipn. I have also toggled the associativity on / off. The view shows the correct image during its preview, but when the view is done being created, it shows the wrong part again.
