I have been using the addin "Save Run Macro" to automatically run a macro every time the "Save" button is pressed.
Any of the following questions about "Save Run Macro"?
1] When I protect the macro from viewing (so I can protect my code) "Save Run Macro" does not see the macro.
2] When I save the part for the first time (ipt, iam or idw/dwg) the macro does not run. I always need to run the macro again.
I have made a macro that asks for a location on the file server (=client name) and then the project name. It then automatic creates the correct folders, opens my custom assembly template and changes an ipart that is by default in it.
That's all great and can save us a ton of time, but the last step is to automatic save the assembly! I just can't get it working and can't find the correct code.
I have defined the target folder earlier and the file name of the assembly is identical to this folder. For example
target folder = O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1
file name = ClientProject1.iam
-> result: O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1ClientProject1.iam
the code that I think should work looks like this:
Sub SaveAssembly() Dim oAssDoc As AssemblyDocument Set oAssDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument oAssDoc.SaveAs ("O:ProjectsclientNameClientProject1ClientProject1.iam", False)End Sub
But it doesn't work, I always get the error message
"Compile error: Expected: ="
Whatever I do next I don't get the code to work
We want to change iassemblies in a table using macro. When we change an iassemblies, inventor asks "Do you want to save changes to ......?". There are many iassemblies in our model, so it takes serious amount of time. We can disable all messages using macro, But this time after macro completion, there may be some errors in model, because we dont accept all changes. How can we accept all changes while running macro?
We use SilentOperation property. but in Save dialog, there are some parts indicated "yes" and some indicated "no". how can we change them "yes" and save all dependents?
Is it possible to run a VBA macro every time the "Save" button is pressed on "IPT" files?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created an "addin" to monitor the "SAVE" & "NEW" button press on Inventor.What is the possibility of AutoDesk including this feature to the next release, or better still, creating a "patch" so that inventor can be upgraded to do it automatically, without the need to write an "addin"?
For Example,
If the user presses the "SAVE" button, AutoDesk Inventor would automatically look to see if a macro called "OnSave" exists. If it does, it "runs" the macro, if it does not exist, it works exactly as Inventor does now. This also would work in a similar way when pressing the "NEW" button.
I created a macro to insert layers with a click of the button. I was wonder how I get my macro to add the linetype to it. Also would like a separate macro to make the layer not to plot.
Here is the Macro I'm using: ^C^C-layer;new;A-ANNO-AREA-IDEN;color;6;A-ANNO-AREA-IDEN;;
Now that SP2 is out and we can delete all in one sweep, is it possible to create a macro that would automatically delete all color styles as soon as any file is open? I never use that feature and would gladly pay for such a macro.

At present i am able to get the macro to export the pdf and then (user input to directory to save and to overwrite the previous file) then save the file but cannot close the drawing.
In LT can you have a Macro or Lisp routine (thinking a bespoke button) that saves or shuts down a drawing and upon such, changes the current layer to 0?

Simply put, Every time I press save the autocad drawing is saved (Obviously!!!) but
I also need to save an exact copy of the drawing in a folder called (for eample only) "C:TestFolder"
I can do this using DxfOut for dxf files but I need to do this for dwg files.
Can it be done whenever I press the "save" button.
How do I record a series of actions that I can then save it as a kind of script or macro that I can run then in another work session on an object? Is this possible?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I am done with a drawing (inventor .dwg), I manually go to "Save Copy As" and select DXF, and using my default options, save the drawing as a DXF on a server (OUTSIDE of vault) that our shop guys can access for CNC stuff. I understand there is a DXF Translator that I may be able to set to do this for me. How to use Inventor add-ins (my translator is loaded, thats as far as I got) or set them as macros. A button on the ribbon to export to DXF would be nice and I may also want to automate this further and have it do it on file save.

We just updated to 2013 this morning, and my macro isn't in the drop down (All Application Projects and Active Documents) menu like they were in 2012.
I haven't been able to find it when searching either. I created a test macro, and it showed up: C:Userscad1AppDataLocalTempUserProject1.ivb
But still is not in the dropdown in the macro menu. I'm using the same project that I had in 2012.Did installing 2013 remove/write over my maco? I imported my preferences this morning, they seem to be fine.
Can we Make code for Selecting Part Automatically?

I have obtained a very useful macro from another discussion thread, [URL]....... It automatically names the frame members inserted by Frame Generator. I have modified the macro for our internal naming conventions, but the basic functionality is the same. I would like it to load automatically whenever I am in Inventor and believe an Add-In is the way to go. I have followed Brian Ekins "Taking the Step from VBA to Inventor Add-Ins" paper, but I think I am missing huge chunks on how Add-ins handle events and have been unsuccessful in finding any help topics. How to handle events in an add-in.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI added two macros to be run from a button in the ribbon. The first time I run one of these macros after startup of Inventor, it takes a lot of time to run (approx. 5 sec.). But the second and subsequent time the tools are ran, the process is pretty much instantaneous. It's like the VBAeditor has to load on the background before the tool can process.
I arrived a this hypothesis because the VBA editor is taking around 5-10 seconds to load for the first time but after the tool (macro) has ran once, the VBA editor can be opened instantaneously.
Malfunctioning Title Block Macro in Inventor 2014? The script is attached. I think there is a problem with datums. I have switched to a new computer and installed Inventor 2014 on it.

I have been working with macros basically making user forms to control the models. The program calls on a part that I use as an actuation template (its just a part with parameters that are then linked to the assembly contraints) then the macro will change the parameters and update the model.
What I need to do is to put in some code in the userforn initialize sub that gets the actuation template from the disk, for example: C:Other StuffActuation Template A.ipt. Then the macro places the part into the assembly. The userform then manipulates the actuation template (and the assembly model). Then when the userform is unloaded the part is deleted from the assembly.
