Is there a way to add the all around symbol to a note or dimension? I see how to add it to a weld symbol and a feature control frame, but that doesn't work for me too much just yet...
View 8 RepliesIs it possible to attach a sketched symbol to a leader note? I tried the following code, but an error occurs in the line adding the sketchedsymbol. The geometry intent, which seems to be created correct, isn't a valid input for the sketched symbol.

When I am in the sound mixer and select for instance the music track, and want to drag the note symbol down toward the surround speakers, I have to hold the note with the mouse all the way of the entire music clip, otherwise, the symbol note returns slowly back to the center.
Is there any way to keep the note symbol fixed in the desire position without holding the mouse all the time of the entire music clip? I am using VS4.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe attached picture is me trying to balloon a part. I would like to just add some notes to the balloon so that I can update them manually but all I can find is to have a symbol. So I created a symbol, the insertion point for the symbol is shown. For some reason I get an extra number and the symbol offcenter. Why is this happening? What I'm really looking for is a balloon that is fully customizable so that I can just add text to the top and bottom and fill out the details.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can I create a surface texture symbol (ACM 2011) on a dimension using VBA without interactively selecting the dimension?I have a point on the dimension and the entity name / handle of the dimension which I want to pass to the VBA function.
I am using the code from Introducing the AutoCAD® Mechanical API, Wayne Brill – Autodesk URL....While this code interactively selects the point and the line (dimension in my case), I don't want to use interaction. Instead I have lisp variable.
I have used the vlax.cls to convert the point to a variant and handle to an object. (I could use Users variables instead with more complex code). This works well but the code fails at the line:
oSurfSymbol.AttachGeometry dimHor, pt
This is because the method requires IMcadLine object I have IAcadLine2 object

I am creating a drawing that has some 40+ notes on it. Maybe half of these notes need to have a square, squircle, or some shape around them so I can later use that same shape enclosed number to point to a feature on the drawing that it is referencing. In the past when I had fewer notes I would just use the user symbols and losely place the squircle number in line with the other text and then use that same squircle number to point to the desired feature. The problem it is hard to align everything properly and if I move the text I then need to move the squircles.
In Pro/E I remember being able to type "@[1@]" and it would create a box around 1 in the text. Is there anything similar in Inventor?
I have found an problem with change text on drawing note trough API.
Situation:
Create leader note in empty drawing
Change text on this note with following
Public Sub Run()Dim oDoc As DrawingDocumentSet oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentDim oNotes As DrawingNotesSet oNotes = oDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingNotesoNotes(1).FormattedText = "abcd"Debug.Print oNotes(1).Color.ColorSourceTypeEnd Sub
Then edit text stnadrda dialog, result is that color of text is changed from bylayer to overwited color.Strange is that trough api is color still set as bylayer.

is it possible to create a hole note without pitch.
i use standard thread in most cases so i just want the thread to be shown in the holenote tool on drawings (like M8 not M8x1,25)
In 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 create a hole feature in part and use Hole and Thread function in drawing view. All info displayed correctly, but if the model changes - note does not! the only way to get the new thread/hole designation is by using the Hole and Thread function again.
see print screen attached - I kept changing the model and using Hole and Thread tool couple of times. They all point to the same hole but look at the results..
Reboot does not work...

How can I change thread note from M12x1.75 to M12?
For our drawing standard, we don’t put the standard thread pitch into the thread note, and we have to manual to over write the thread note. But when the thread size changes and the note never get updated. Is there any other way to get the note to link to the thread size?
Any way, using iLogic, to get the K-Factor from a flat pattern sheet metal view on an idw drawing and add it as a note.
I'd like a rule that would access the flat pattern on the drawing, get the K-Factor value and then create a note that says, for example, "K-Factor Value = 44".
I see in the iLogic Snippets there's a Get Active KFactor under the Sheet Metal section, but I don't know where to start.
Is it possible to get a Limit/Fit tolerance included in a Hole Note call out, such as H7 etc?
Currently, when I am dimensioning Counter Bore holes, I have to use a general dimension for CBore dia incuding the Limit/Fit tolerance and manually add the hole dia (or visa versa). This means I have to manually update any changes to hole dia.
See attachment. I can't get the units off of inch.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe "tap drill" option in hole note in idw drawing is gray out. so I was playing around with it and fix the problem luckily.
I go to hole feature model and change thread class from 2B to 3B. then, the "tap drill" option is turn on in idw drawing.
is this correct way to do it? i have few drawing to fix it. is there a faster way?

In drafting while creating note of hole there is no breaking point for arrow there is only straight arrow line( pls find attached file of DIM 01). I am not getting any setting for the same.
I want notation having breaking point. ( Ref attachment Dim -2)
I've attached a sample part & drawing of a hollow cylinder with 6 equally spaced radial holes drilled around it.
If you change the depth of the hole you will get a different quantity of holes in the drawing hole note.
I get a hole note quantity of 6 holes which is correct if I set the hole depth to 1". Change the hole depth to 2" and the hole note quantity shown changes to 5. Change the hole depth to 3" and the hole note quantity changes to 4.
I often draw bushings with radial holes like this and have to take care to not let this behavior create a wrong drawing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to control the priority of what information Inventor displays "on top" in a drawing when you have two elements that overlap?
My specific situation is I have a text note whose boundary (where the text 'box' would be if that was turned on) overlaps a detail of a section view and seems to be preventing the display of the hatch layer in one of my section views.
I have attached 3 pictures to show this problem. The pictures show the section view in 3 slightly different positions relative to the text box. I selected the text box before taking the screen capture so you can reference the green "handles" to know where the boundary of the text box would be. Notice how the hatching of the welds, flanges, and pipe as well as a portion of the extension line and arrow for the 3/16 dimension are 'covered' by the boundary of the text box.
Is there a way to control the priority in which different layers are displayed, or is there a function similar to the "Bring Forward/Send Backward" options in Microsoft Word?
FYI, I am running Inventor 2013 RTM build 138.
Using 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).
If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.

Just checked adding a note to a ipt and it doesn't dirty the file either, so if you only add a new engineering note, you have to save it, cause it won't prompt you before closing.
