AutoCAD Inventor :: Add A Cancel Function To Create View
Sep 23, 2004Any way this can happen in a reasonable time frame, say in a release or 2,since view creation takes so long?Or did you development guys sneak that into R9?

I am working on a tut so that I can (try to) learn about Masks.
But for the life of me I cannot find info on what it means to ... cancel the Mask view.
( Here's the tut link ... [URL]...)
This is a pic from the tut. See in the top layer (Body) how the down arrow, folder and the link icons are grayed out?
Well, this is what the tut says to do ....
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to cancel the mask view.
I have Shift + Clicked the masks thumbnail but that doesn't give me the result like the picture above shows and I've tried the Alt + Click but that doesn't do it either.
what the author means by this ... Cancel Mask View ... ??
I'm trying to create a rib from the sketch shown. Before I go to support with this, how to make it work or why it won't? I think Inventor just isn't up to it. If I add perpendicular lines to the endpoints of the line shown, it'll make rib, but the rib isn't right - i.e. it doesn't maintain tangency the way it should. I'd rather not have to go through and surface it.

I had a situation where I had to quit Photoshop immediately, but it wouldn’t let me because a background save was in progress. I don’t like killing a program with the Task Manager during a write operation, but that’s what I had to do.
If there’s a way to cancel a lengthy background save or to view its progress, I haven’t found it yet. There needs to be a way to do this.
Sometimes when I try to create a detail view of an isometric view in my IDW, the "detail full boundary" option is greyed out? Why would this be? If I try an ortho view it works fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was able to use Inventor "Save Copy As" function to create zgl files. When the zgl files were viewed with "Imagination View" program, some files looked good, while some others do not show any geometry (just white background). Do I need to change anything in the Model before executing "Save Copy As" function?

I want to cancel deletion of certain Part Feature (where PartFeature.Name starts with ''I_''). In my dll, I capture « DocumentEvents.OnDelete ».
private void PartDocument_OnDelete(object o, BeforeAfterEnum beforeAfter, NameValueMap context, out HandlingCodeEnum handlingCode)
{
if (beforeAfter == BeforeAfterEnum.Before)
{
if (((PartFeature)o).Name.StartsWith(‘’I_’’))
{
MessageBox.Show(‘’You cannot delete ’’I_*’’ part features.’’);
// MISSING CODE HERE TO CANCEL DELETION !!!
}
}
}
First I thought that putting « handlingCode » to « HandlingCodeEnum.evtCancelHandle » would do the job, but when I read the API, it says that Inventor doesn’t care about that output argument. Then, how can I cancel the deletion of an object when capturing ‘On Delete’ event ?
Is it possible to add a stop or cancel button onto ilogic code?
I have code that looks into all .ipts with a certain material type,that works great but if we run by accident there is no way of stopping code until it finishes .
How do I detect wich button the user pressed in the iLogic-form?
I can show it like this:
result=iLogicForm.ShowGlobal("MyForm", FormMode.Modal)
I guess that result is of type FormReturnValue - but I can't guess the qualifier (FormReturnValue.OK / FormReturnValue.OkBtn / ?)
I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.
Is there Any code out there that will allow user to select part file then isolate and create view rep of that part with name of view rep the same as part.
The reason is we have lots of reps that isolate various components and this is very time consuming, I have had a look if there is Any customization because this would be a good user tool,also could work very well on assembly.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a solid body .ipt that I have created an assembly from. Some of the parts in the solid body can rotate which in turn rotates them in the assembly which is great. The problem is I need to create a drawing of the parts of the assembly. If I create a base view of a part that rotates the view rotates also, but I do not want that. Is there a way to create a view that always "looks" at a surface of a part no matter what position it is in?
Using Inventor 2013
I'm trying to develop a program where I can use a base view based on the current view of a single part. The idea is basically export the contour of the part to the DXL format and save it to be used on cutting machines.
I've found something similar here, but in the context, it was necessary to use the path of the part to work, and I need it to recognize the part that is already opened.
I need to create an exploded view of an assembly to show how it's supposed to be put together. "Hey, why not use the slick presentation feature in Inventor? I've already got the model!" It's not working out to be that slick.
Outlined in red, is the "wrong" trail that Inventor put in by default. I added the highlighted trail, which is what I want and reflects how things actually go together. How do I get rid of the one I don't want? Hide turns off both of them. Delete deletes the tweak. All I've found was a workaround where I hide the line in the drawing.
How to change the outline display colour when creating views on an Inventor drawing ? I've placed my base view and gone to create detail view - now I want to be able to change the outline marker colour from the default black.

i am wanting to use the apprentice server in another program. The apprentice server is 'normally' found in the registry under this key:
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
The problem is, that if you uninstall all things autodesk, and run a registry cleaner (or delete that key by hand), and then install only inventor view 2013 and run inventor view 2013, it will *not* create that key in the registry.
This makes it impossible to run the apprentice thru the COM mechanism, even your SDK samples will not work.
(i suspect (but havent proved), the bigger problem is on a brand new machine, install and run only inventor view 2013 , you still can't use the apprentice server.)
The 'workaround' is to install and run inventor view 2012. running inventor view 2012 will create the registry key. After that, running inventor view 2013 will happily update the key's value to the appropriate place.
(C:Program FilesAutodeskInventor View 2013BinRxApprenticeServer.dll)
so try this :
1) run regedit and delete the key and all its subkeys
ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSIDC343ED84-A129-11d3-B799-0060B0F159EF
2) optionally install inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter).
2) run inventor view 2013 ('as administrator' or not doesnt matter). exit it
3) run regedit. the key is not there still. you won't be able to run any SDK samples or get an apprentice server using the following 'basic'
Set ApprenticeServer = New ApprenticeServerComponent

I can get hold of the view but cant find a way to set reference data --- would like to set the "Line Style" to "As Parts" and "Hidden Line Calculation" to "All Bodies".
Trying to the base view system in acad 2012. Got inventor model and want to document in acad. New blank layout tab. Select base view and as model space is empty it asks for inventor file as it should. I select my ipt file.
it then says 'invalid autodesk inventor file C:projects......'
the command then closes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI create an IDW view of a subassembly by inserting the parent assembly, make it a non-associative view, then turn off visibility of unwanted subassemblies. When later working in the model and adding a part to one of the non-visable sub-assemblies, that part becomes visable in the IDW views in which the subassembly was non-visable, requiting me to edit all veiws in which the subassembly was non-visible. This can be quite a number of instances. Is there a way to prevent this?
I may have a more fundamental workflow problem: I create assemblies composed of subassemblies that need to be detailed sperately. I have found that in order to correctly create a structured BOM and to have the ballon lables to correspond to the structured BOM, I create the drawing views as described above. If I would just insert the subassembly to detail it, I don't understand how to get it to relate the balloon labels in the subassembly view to my master BOM.

Is there an option somewhere to stop Inventor automatically rotating the view when I create or edit a sketch?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAny time I click on "Create 2D sketch" when editing a part in place in an assembly, the view moves to an isometric view. It happens as soon as I click on the button. Is there any way to stop this happening?
This does not happen when I'm editing a part (.ipt) on its own. I'm aware of the "Look at sketch plane on sketch creation" issue: this is not the same thing since it happens as soon as I click on the button, i.e. before I actually create the sketch.
I want the view to remain as it was before I click the button, to keep the things I'm looking at in view.
