I have several sheets w/in a drawing. Some of the sheets are titled sheet 2A, 2B, etc. I'd like to be able to do this w/o needing several title blocks. what becomes sheet 3 is now sheet 5. How do I offset the sheet numbers?

Is it possible to save as dxf with etch lines in a different color? I didn't find a possibility to change color in the Layer DXF Export Options or must this be done in Autocad?
I am trying to add sheet numbers to my template for my document. I know I have to use the Sheet Properties, Sheet Number then Drawing Properties, Number of Sheets but I cannot remember how to do this? I am using IV 2010. There used to be a Properties Field icon, but now I cannot find it? I RMB on the title block, select "Edit", then selected the location of the property, then selected Sheet Properties, Sheet Number, but nothing shows up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to link my parts list to a drawing however all balloons have different numbers.
I open the assembly and check everything out from vault I open my bom and change item numbers. When I get back to my drawing and apply for auto balloon I get completely different item numbers in my balloons. We just updated our software to a new 2012 version so it's maybe something with set up.
I've made a big calculation in a Pipe Stress Analysis program and the program has auto created 10 autocad drawings that is used to find points in the system.The problem is that the program has random numbered (with no intelligence) and now I have a big report which for example points at a number some where in the 10 drawings, which is hopeless to find.
Can I somehow:
1. Find all numbers in this drawing.
2. Put them into Excel.
3. Sort them after size.
4. Add an extra column which tells which drawing I can find the number.
5. Last put all the numbers from all the drawing into one Excel sheet and sort them after size, now I have a number index, so I can find which number is in which drawing.
Can Autocad find all numbers in a drawing and let me copy them to Excel for editing?
I creating plan and sections from my model. I went through my Create View Frames, and created my sheets fine. But one thing I cannot seem to fix, I am starting from Sheet 10, not sheet 1, so I need my match line to start at sheet 10, then up from there. Whats the setting I need to change for this? I have set all counters to start from 10, but the first match line still says sheet 1 i have attached an image of the matchline.

I have subroutine that retrieves a list of detail numbers in a drawing. Sometimes there are missing numbers. I am looking to find a list of any missing numbers.
Example -
(setq List_DN (list 1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 12 17))
Missing numbers are - 4,8,9,13,14,15,16
I would like a subroutine to take the List_DN are return the following missing numbers as text
(Get_Missing List_DN)
return
4,8-9,13-16
Is there a way to sync callout numbers to correspond with note numbers. When I add or delete notes in my drawings it takes to much time to update the callout number in the drawings. I need to figure out a way for the note and corresponding callout to change at the same time.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dwg file with three sheets in, just default names, I can access sheets 2 and 3 but get the attached errors when trying to access sheet 1 form either sheet 2 or 3
This file was originally created in IV2009 I've had no problems then or with the various conversions of it.
It seems to be memory related so here's the sitrep as for memory 8GB DDR2 RAM, and Virtual Memory set at min of 8192MB and a Max of 16384MB, I did have it set a systems managed but that gave a warning of low virtual memory with almost every drawing file that I opened.
I am using Inventor 2010 (I know this is my first problem, but you have to use what you're given!) and I need to use the sheet number in a calculation that will display the result in a text box. =((<SHEET NUMBER>-1)8)=1 displays a result of ((11-1)8)+1. I suspect that the sheet number is being brought in as text instead of a number. I tried adding atoi to the equation to convert the sheet number to an integer, but it did not work.Is there an alternate source for the sheet number that will return a number? Is my syntax wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Inventor Pro 2011 and I'm trying to break the association of a BOM from it's assembly. My company uses a "next assembly list" on each drawing to show the quantities and information that appear on the BOM in the next level assembly. To achieve this we insert a parts list referencing the next level, then we turn off the visiblity of all the parts except the item we want shown. The problem we've found with this is that we're using some large assemblies and Inventor slows down when it has to reference the large assembly on each drawing. All we really want to show is the single line. If we break the link to the large assembly, we feel that it will speed up the process considerably.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to use the break-out command in an IDW to show something inside an enclosure that you normally would not see? I don't mean a section view but an Isometric view that temporarily removes a part of the wall of an enclosure so you can see what is inside, specifically in a presentation view?

I could change it directly on the .idw but me and my project leader would like to not go on that road. Our teams are seperated in to two. Ones in charge of modeling & the other is in charge of the presentation. We would like to give, as much as possible, not to much leeway on those in charge of the presentation.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a pattern of iassemblies in an assembly. If I change the member then all instances will change.
is it possible to explode/break a pattern into individual iassemblies?
I think this would be really useful. You can use pattern to layout the assemblies but then break the link to edit them individually. Perhaps to move one slightly, for instance. Or to change a particular member, as I need in this case.
I know that I can suppress specific members and replace with a new member. But this will loose the constraints I have applied to the members of the pattern.
By breaking the pattern there will be no parameters to determine the position of those exploded members, so perhaps they could be automatically grounded until you add new position constraints to them?
Any trick to make create a break view along a sloping edge.So that the view still appears continuous rather that the one.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able to create break-out views, somewhat like in the picture below.
Is this possible directly in Inventor? That is, without having to carve out elaborate geometry in the parts and assign red color to the jagged edges.
I can achieve some of what I want in a drawing (Break-out in a view, then making an isometric projected view from that first view with the break-out), but it's still not exactly what I want.
is there any way to control which areas of my part or assembly that I want to use the View Break on? Currently I'm not aware of any options. It wants to break through the entire assembly or part view.
Basically I have a coworker who designs his electrical harnesses in Inventor. Some of the wiring branches off the main harness are longer than others and he would like to break only that specific branch of wiring, not the entire horizontal or vertical area of the view.

I have an assembly drawing which requires a break in the drawing view due to its height. The drawing view scales accoring to the change in height (so it remains the same physical height on the drawing), however I need to be able to increase/decrease the height (or value) of the break linearly to the height of the assembly.
I had a look at the ilogic 'break sample' and tried to adapt it to my needs, however, i couldnt get it working. I am using Inventor 2012.

I have a layout drawing, and I want to add a parts list, but I want to break it into 2 "columns" rather then a long one
how do I do that?
How can I use one "line break" in the same command on iLogic ?
For a simple doubt, a simple sample :
MessageBox.Show("Message blabla blablablabla blablablabla", "Title")
In this case, how could i divide the message in 3 lines in the messagebox ?
actually this would work for me in other case too, creating a text with more than one line, instead of creat many text boxes.
