See the jpeg: 1.345 is a regular dimension, .875 is a hole note. The hole note is wrong.
(the part doesn’t have to be scrapped. It can be dis assembled, sent back for rework, refinished and reassembled.)
The picture I've attached to this post is 180 dpi.However, Gimp says the ppi of the image is 300 (Gimp also used this information display the printed size, so it should be "dpi", but this is not my problem).
I fully understand the difference between dpi and ppi.My question is: From where is this information coming from?
My default image resolution in Gimp is 96 ppi (under Preferences > Default image > Advanced option).
I have a GIF which is displayed as different image in different viewers - on Windows XP and 7.

In the side and front view, the references are displayed in the wrong place on the screen. It is fine on the perspective view, but not side or front. The outline if I select the image is in the right place, but the image is not.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are in the middle of implementing AutoCAD 2013 to replace 2010 so at the moment I am converting / modifying our own code to suit the AutoCAD 2013 API.
One of our routines collects data from drawings (drawings are not fysically opened in AutoCAD) using the system variables 'LimMin' and 'LimMax' in order to collect all objects drawing within the titleblock.
Point2d min2d = (Point2d) Application.GetSystemVariable("LimMin");
Point2d max2d = (Point2d) Application.GetSystemVariable("LimMax");
Only the objects in the titleblock area need to be processed and this gives the engineers also the opportunity to add extra information outside the titleblock. We have used this method in 2007 and 2010 releases of AutoCAD succesfully.
But with AutoCAD 2013 I have run into a snag. As said does this routine not fysically open the drawing in AutoCAD it merely adresses the 'autocad database' so to speak. It seems that 2013 selects the variables from an opened active drawing instead of the 'opened' drawing by the routine. What do I need to modify in the lines of codes stated above to get this rouine up and running?
The workaround for this moment is to skip the collection in the titleblock area al together and select all objects in the entire drawing which does not speed up things very much
Set up the settings tab in Toolspace to always skip to display the drawing that I'm not working in? I just spent half an hour creating expressions in the wrong drawing,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have attached a screen shot. I created this base plate as A572-50 steel and it is displayed as galvanized. The only thing on this assembly that is from the content center are the bolted connections and a few pieces of A53 pipe that is not shown in the image. All of the other parts and sub- assembly's and their parts are created with their appropriate grade of steel and also displayed as Galvanized. When they are place into the same assembly their materials and display are exactly like they are on the part level itself.
When I place the base plate from my project the initial preview of the the part shows it to be as it is in the part itself, A572-50 and galvanized. The problem comes when you actually drop it in the assembly. The material of the part is reverted to the Steel, Galvanized and is displayed as Generic. This causes a problem in my BOM and then some.
Looking at using ilogic to display and populate a custom field of available finishes for my products.. I'm using the InputListBox message box and its working BUT I would like to know how to make the actual list box larger (wider to be exact).

I have Inventor 2012. When I open a file of a part or assembly that had been modeled the piece is displayed not centered nor fully visible. I have changed the document settings for modeled part to make the displayed area larger that the default 3.937" wide x 1.969" high which sort of works sometimes.
The model Origin seems to be centered while the modeled part is displayed off the screen. Is there a setting to have the model file open with the geometry extents displayed and centered? The thumbnail for the file looks correct. It seems like the template files would control this feature.
With the new install of 2013, the stress contours are not displayed on the part. The part is blank, but the scale is displayed. Settings in Display Contour Shading or Stress Anylisis Settings have no effect. see attached screen plot.

Recently we have switched from VBA to iLogic code. We have stripped out all of the VBA code, but when parts and assemblies are opening there is a big delay and the words "Loading VBA Project" is displayed at the bottom of Inventor.
Is iLogic or some facet of Inventor 2012 still using VBA Projects? If not, then can I disable this to shorten the amount of time it takes to open models? If possible how would I do this?

I am trying to add some text to the face of the part, no issues other than the projected edges are displayed as well, can the projected stuff be hidden?
View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday 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.
We have the following problem (on AIS2010): we often recycle existing designs with small changes/adapting, means: the (sub)assembly is saved with a new name and part number, and the subcomponents that need to be changed, get a new part number and file name too. So we save a copy, save the parts need changes and then replace the "old" parts in the new assy.
Doing so unfortunately retains the "name" of the component in the model browser tree. Why is that in the first place.
But I'm trying to write a macro that resets the dspalyed names in the browser.
What I found so far, is that under BrowserNodeDefinition, there's a Label property which contains the displayed name, and this does not get changed when the part is replaced. So I thought, I can just compare these BrowserNodeDefinition.Labels with the actual file names and forge a new Label from the new name and the sequence number, however, the BrowserNodeDefinition object is read only, can't be changed.
I haven't found anything else that would contain this name that is displayed in the browser.
I would like to change the way a linetype appears for a specific part, globally throughout my drawing package. How is this done?
I am currently selecting the part in the model tree in the browser and changing it that way, but I have to do it on multiple views, for multiple pages .
After I create a wire it will not be displayed as a rendered wire. There is no indication of error in the wire (to sharp angle) and this is also happens for a straight wires with no turns.
I have made multiple revisions of an assembly and in older reviosions I can make the wires and they are shown as rendered. But in the latest revision it is not possible. In a older revision I had a harness assembly than deleted it could this have any affect?
Also is there any setting that hides rendered wires that I might have turned on accidently?I have a student licence and the assembly has about 700 parts if that makes any difference.
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?

Attached is a picture of my problem with what it is doing.
I am trying to fillet A to E and E to C (B to D and D to F also)
On the left hand side when I fillet, it connects C to E instead of A to C and I do not know why it is doing that or what I am doing wrong.
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.
I just got back a submittal package from a customer. Many markups because of incorrect dimension callout for a certain fit. When I dimensioned the drawing, I used the limit/fit calculator that is with Inventor. Now I just compared this calculator with the ANSI B4.1-1976 standard that it is supposed to follow. What I found was that the values in Inventor are wrong.
I just checked a few sizes and they do not match the ANSI standard. Not sure it there are other fits that have errors in them, but I will bet there are. Does Autodesk realize that if this information is put out, we have to take it as gospel. I don't have the time to check every-little-stinking dimension. If the dims in the table is wrong, I might as well type them in myself and forget about using the table.
Here is a screen shot of some of the errrors that I found. I also checked this size range for RC3, RC4 and RC5. They all have errors in them too. I am sure there are more, just dont have the time to check. We are not talking about "Freeware" here...

Trying to apply a variable radius to a part. The direction of the radius is wrong (pointed back in toward the part) and I cant get it to go the other way. As long as all the fillets along the curve are the same radius, the fillet will compute, but if I make them vary, then it fails.
